There is a saying: “When there are many diseases, there is only one problem – the spine.” Permanent curvature of the spine and pinched nerves lead to many chronic diseases. It is better to spend many hours driving in a comfortable seat. Unfortunately, the standard VAZ seats are designed for the average driver and cannot suit everyone. If you are planning to change the seats, which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114?
Seats for VAZ 2114
Types of seats
There are three types of seats:
- racing;
- sports;
- seats of increased comfort (anatomical).
Racing seats are designed to withstand high loads. The single frame is made of high quality materials. Typically, such models are much more expensive than sports and anatomical options.
Racing seats
The sports seats consist of a single rigid frame. They are adjustable, provide hip and shoulder support, and are comfortable for long rides. But due to their rigidity, such seats are not suitable for every driver.
Sports chair
Anatomical seats provide lateral support when turning, correct back position and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal diseases.
In most cases, there is no need to install racing seats on your car. And seats with increased comfort and sports options can be selected quite inexpensively if you know exactly which model you need.

Dismantling
Before installing new chairs, you will have to get rid of the old ones. Accordingly, dismantling work cannot be avoided.
To work you will need:
- Flat-head, durable screwdriver;
- Set of heads;
- Collar;
- Ratchet.
The dismantling process
The procedure itself is as follows:
- Pull the seat forward all the way.
- Remove the metal cables that allow the seats to move forward and backward more smoothly.
- Now move the seat as far back as possible.
- You will have access to the four nuts that hold the chair to the bracket. They need to be unscrewed.
- Raise the seat slightly to remove the two rear mountings to the skid. There are regular bolts there.
- Now carefully remove the seat from the car.
- Do a similar procedure with the second chair.
General selection conditions
- Condition: new or used. New seats are more expensive, but they will last longer. Every year, thanks to modern technology, seats become more comfortable and have new functions. Used seats can be purchased at car dismantling yards.
- Manufacturing company. The 2114 fits both seats from other VAZ models and domestic brands, as well as seats from foreign cars.
- Additional options. Headrests, armrests, and lift make the seat more comfortable and safer.
- Completeness. Basically, the availability of fasteners and accessories needs to be clarified if used seats are purchased.

Rear passenger seats
How to remove the rear pair of passenger seats? Removing seats in VAZ models, starting from 2108 and ending with 2115, is done in exactly the same way. The set of tools remains unchanged from the first example. Here is the sequence of actions:
- The rear seats do not need to be moved, they are fixed. To access the fastenings, use a flat screwdriver to pry up the protective pad just below the seat cushion.
- First, unscrew the two bolts that hold the pillows on the side. Here you need a 10mm head.
- Next, the same fastenings must be removed in the lower part of the seat backs using exactly the same key.
- After unscrewing all the bolts, you can safely remove the rear seat.
Ford or Audi A4 series rear seats are recommended as replacements. Why these options? They will require minimal correction of the frame and fastenings from you, in addition, they will fit perfectly into the interior of the cabin.
Of course, you can choose other seat options, but it will require more modifications, parts and time to properly attach the new passenger seats.
What seats fit on the VAZ 2114 without modifications?
The most budget option for replacing seats is to choose VAZ models. On 2114 they install seats from nine, ten and other models.
The UNP company produces anatomical and sports seats for VAZ models. The seats are made of quality materials and are sold complete with mountings and accessories.

If you install a UNP seat for the driver, there will be no legroom for the rear passenger.
The Viller company offers sports and anatomical seats for all VAZ models, including 2114. The seats are certified according to GOST. They relieve stress from the spine and have enhanced lateral support. There are heated seat options.

Comfortable and high-quality seats from foreign cars for the VAZ 2114 can be supplied from Audi A4, Hyundai Lantra, Opel Vectra, Opel Astra and Ford. If you are going to disassemble, you need to measure the dimensions of the seats and photograph the mounting points so that you can compare and make the right choice. It is better to select seats from a donor car with the same external dimensions as 2114.
Ford seats are sometimes too wide. If you install such seats on a car, it may be difficult to pass inspection.

If the seats are adjustable, you need to check their condition at the place of purchase.
When considering the options for which foreign car the seats for the VAZ 2114 are suitable for, keep in mind that for a comfortable fit it is better for a fist to fit between your head and the ceiling of the cabin.
Before making the final choice of a seat, you can try it out and check for ergonomics by sitting in the cabin of the same car as the donor car.

Heated seats
Heated seats are relevant for most Russian regions. Sitting on a frozen seat in winter is not always comfortable and safe for health. Many people neglect this option, believing that heating consumes a lot of energy.
In fact, the heating option uses the same amount of energy as the parking lights. The seat warms up quickly and then remains comfortable down to -30 °C outside the car. If you have a choice of options and you have not yet decided which seats can be installed on the VAZ 2114, it is better to install heated seats.
Set for heated seats VAZ 2114
In the 2114 model, the heating option is controlled by the on-board computer. If you independently connect the heating to the network, a short circuit may occur.
We improve the interior with covers
If the design of the seats to some extent suits the owner of the VAZ 2114, then the main problem in the cabin is the presence of secondary factors:
- wear and tear of upholstery materials;
- all kinds of pollution;
- greasy spots.
Naturally, such an arrangement is unlikely to suit any owner of a VAZ 2114 car. The upholstery of domestically produced cars wears out very quickly - all this is the result of the use of low-quality materials.
If the upholstery in the car has not yet lost its original appearance and is in good condition, then it would be advisable to protect the seats with special covers.
In fact, this is one of the cheapest tuning options, which contributes to the following improvements:
- improving the appearance of the interior and giving it some individuality;
- comprehensive protection against abrasion and contamination;
- Some manufacturers offer products with special inserts that improve the comfort of the driver and passengers.
Seat covers
The upholstery of standard VAZ seats, as a rule, is not reliable and durable. Covers will help preserve it. You can choose covers from any material, from genuine leather to micro-suede, and in a color scheme that suits the interior and the car as a whole. When choosing covers, it is better to pay attention to options with padding polyester inserts for back support.

The dangers of uncomfortable car seats
Safety and driver comfort in any vehicle begins with the driver's seat. An insufficiently developed design significantly affects the general condition of the driver during long trips. It is possible that your back, arms and other troubles may become numb, which significantly distracts you from driving. The presence of comfortable seats is the primary factor when buying a car. Because not everyone wants to exercise after a long trip.
What can be done to the interior of the VAZ 2114 to improve comfort:
- improve appearance through tuning;
- reupholster the interior with covers;
- replace standard seats with sports or anatomical options;
- perform complex tuning.

What are the installation recommendations?
Before installing more comfortable seats, it is necessary to carry out a number of dismantling works and, first of all, remove the old seats. To carry out all the work you will need open-end and ring wrenches, a grinder, as well as ordinary plumbing tools and a drill. The dismantling procedure is as follows:
When the bottom of the Niva is completely exposed, measurements and markings should be carefully taken.
If you focus on the middle between the central tunnel and the threshold, you may end up with the seat offset relative to the steering wheel. Driving in this position will not bring you pleasure, no matter how comfortable it is to sit in the new chair. On the passenger side, such precision is not needed.
New seats should be prepared before installation. This includes cleaning, washing the trim, lubricating the mechanisms and, if necessary, minor repairs. Sometimes you have to move the mechanical backrest position adjuster to the other side, as with the seats from the Ford Focus II. In other cases, you must first cut off the old brackets from the slide.
Installation can be carried out without welding if the design and location of the attachment points allows. Mazda seats are placed on skids on profile steel pipes, screwed to the bottom at existing points. To do this, the pipes must be marked and drilled in the right places, and the hole in the upper wall is made larger in order to insert the union head there. The ends of the pipes are cut at an angle of 45°. Then the slides are attached to the profile with self-tapping screws so that the caps of the latter do not interfere with the longitudinal movement of the seat.
If there is a total mismatch of the attachment points, it is necessary to use a welding machine. With its help, a transitional frame of steel corners is welded on which the new chair will stand. If possible, the frame is screwed to existing points, and in other places it is welded to the bottom. In the same way, you should install the rear sofa from a foreign car on the Niva.
Almost every Niva owner is faced with the need to modernize or repair their car. These changes may concern both technical characteristics and the interior. Moreover, in order to increase the comfort of your car, it is not necessary to completely overhaul the interior and suspension - just install new seats on the Niva.
Tuning the "seven"
The VAZ 2107, among other Russian passenger cars, is one of the most frequently tuned cars, especially nowadays. This is due to the fact that the model has long been outdated and is very different from modern standards, so the owners have to improve and modernize it in every possible way.
Tuning the VAZ 2107 and VAZ 2105 includes, first of all, an increase in engine power, that is, its structural modification, including power supply, ignition and gas distribution systems.
In addition to tuning that improves technical performance, very often they try to make the “Seven” less similar to itself both externally and inside the cabin.
They change everything, from the dashboard to the seats. At the same time, they use not only modern parts of the same model, but also resort to using parts from foreign cars.
Very often, the driver and passenger seats are changed in VAZ 2107 showrooms.
Reasons for replacing a seat:
Which seats are suitable?
Which seats are suitable:
You can install standard, original, factory seats, but most often car enthusiasts try to replace the old “Seven” seats with seats from foreign cars, sports cars, or anatomical ones.
Of course, installing new ones is not a cheap process.
Therefore, a frequently asked question among car enthusiasts on various forums is which seats are best to choose or which seats are suitable (preferably with the least amount of intervention in installation).
It is indeed possible to install “foreign” seats on the VAZ 2107. For example, seats from a Mercedes W210 (preferably produced in 1996) and from a Toyota Corolla (produced in 1993) are perfect for this purpose. Another option that works well are seats from SKODA and Fiat. In this case, it will be necessary to make two additional holes to install a more reliable fastening.
They also use seats from the Peugeot and Nissan brands, but you will have to deal with some inconsistency and a little work during the installation process. From the Volkswagen brand, these parts fit well without unnecessary modifications.
These seats are quite convenient and comfortable, but it is not recommended to install them, since they will be quite high, which will lead to inconvenience.
According to experts, any seats can be installed, the main thing is that they fit the dimensions and there is the possibility of welding.
What other changes can be made
In order to make your standard “seven” original and different from the rest, you can not only change the seats. If you have enough imagination and skill, you can do a lot.
So, for example, instead of a standard instrument panel, install a panel from a GAZ 3110, modernize the interior lighting system, modernize the heating system and modify the stove, install power windows, reupholster the interior, install lighting on the doors, tune the standard beard and much more.
VAZ 2107 is an incredibly popular car among the people. It is often called the “Russian Mercedes” or “I want to be a Mercedes” for its characteristic radiator grille and the general appearance of the front of the car.
This involuntarily provokes car owners to tune their cars.
When you decide to change anything in your car, remember that installing non-original seats may raise questions from regulatory authorities, since such manipulations are considered changes to the design of the car.
Technology of using piercing awl
This principle of upgrading chairs will allow you to lay an additional layer of foam rubber under the side parts of the cover to create the effect of enhanced lateral support. The work is performed in the following order.
What to do What to pay attention to: Thread a piece of thin steel wire through the eye of the button. The length of the wire is 30 cm. Use a piercing awl to pierce the back of the driver's seat. Together with the cover put on it, on the back side. Insert a double wire into the hook. The one that is threaded through the eye of a decorative button. Pull the piercing awl back through. On the back side of the back, along with the fastening wire wound into the hook. Pass the wire tendrils through the eye of the response button and pull the buttons together. Through the back of the seat. Fix the antennae. Bite off the loose tails.
The covers on the seat cushions are strengthened in the same way. In this case, it is advisable to remove the seat from the car for convenience. How to remove the seat is described in the documentation of your “nine”. The VAZ 2109 seat fastenings can be easily removed with your own hands.
The proposed technology allows you to perform tuning of VAZ 2109 seats at a very low cost and create a bright, unique look for the interior of your “nine”. If desired, you can use not one, but two or even three pairs of decorative buttons on the back and cushion of each seat. The flight of fancy here is unlimited. You can choose buttons to match the upholstery or cover them with the fabric from which the cover is made. You can choose contrasting colors with the capes or make all the buttons shockingly multi-colored and even mismatched.
Using buttons, the covers of not only the front but also the rear seats of the car are fixed.
Which is better to choose?
Let's now look at which of the listed seats is best suited for your car. It should be borne in mind that a lot depends on the availability of a particular seat option. It is not always possible to find a suitable option in good condition and for the best price.
It is important to understand that worn-out seats from a foreign car will have worse characteristics than “Zhiguli” ones; take this into account when choosing
If you have a junkyard nearby where old German cars constantly appear, then you are very lucky. Surely you can find seats from the Mercedes W210. They are not very popular among drivers of modern foreign cars, but they are ideal for the VAZ-2107. Moreover, at showdowns they usually don’t ask for much for them. At the same time, buying such seats secondhand can cost a significant amount.
If you live in Siberia or the Far East, then you better look for Toyota Corolla seats. Usually in the eastern regions there are no problems with searching, which cannot be said about the European part of Russia. In any case, if you can find such seats, purchase them. Not only do they fit perfectly, but they also look really good in the salon.
The remaining options listed in the previous part of the article make sense to use only if there are no more suitable options. As a rule, their installation requires additional modification of the fasteners.
PS They forgot to mention that they are also suitable for Mazda 6. There is an option to look for them at a disassembly site, chances are high that they will be there.
