Lada priora
Lada Priora: 2007 - present Lada Priora: 2007 - present Lada Priora: 2007 - present Priora replaced the Lada 110 on the VAZ conveyor. Changing the digital index to a proper one marked a new qualitative turn in the evolution of the model. Although by and large it was a modernization of the predecessor, albeit quite deep. The design of the machine made more than 2000 changes. Outside, front and rear fenders, hood and trunk lid changed, new lighting equipment with fog lights, bumpers, radiator trim, moldings and alloy wheels of the original design appeared. And, I must admit, in general, the image of Lada Priora has become more concise and complete.

The first in March 2007 went to the sedan series (factory index VAZ-2170). A year later, the five-door hatchback (VAZ-2172) added to the range of modifications. And in March 2009, sales of the VAZ-2171 station wagon started. Since January 2010, the model line has expanded due to the three-door - VAZ-2172 Coupe. The interior developed with the participation of designers from the Italian studio Carcerano has also changed. The front panel is finished with soft plastic. The central console with the oval-shaped clock is revived by a silver trim, which, however, looks a bit clumsy. The interior trim has become better. The electrician now uses a multiplex bus.

Priora is well equipped. In the Standard version, she received a driver's airbag, an immobilizer, an on-board computer and a central locking with remote control. The “Norma” version came with alloy wheels, electric front windows and heated side mirrors, as well as a hydraulic or electric power steering and air conditioning. In the performance of “Lux”, the mirror housings and door handles are painted in body color, there are fog lights, two airbags, power accessories, heated front seats, ABS and climate control. In the list of options - rain and light sensors, radio.

Under the hood of the second-hand Lada Priora, the “16-valve” VAZ-21126 with a power of 98 hp is much more common than its eight-valve counterpart Under the hood of the used Lada Priora, the “16-valve” VAZ-21126 with a power of 98 hp is much more common rather than its eight-valve counterpart Under the hood of the used Lada Priora, the “16-valve” VAZ-21126 with 98 hp is much more common than its eight-valve counterpart
Engine
For Lada Priora, two engines with the same volume of 1.6 liters were provided: VAZ-11183 (82 hp) with eight valves and VAZ-21126 (98 hp) with 16 valves. Moreover, the latter has undergone significant improvement: a lightweight connecting rod and piston group manufactured by Federal Mogul has been applied, and a resource of 200 thousand km has been declared for the timing belt and Gates tension pulley. Following the “16-valve” after 2011, the base engine underwent modernization. As a result of design optimization, the power of the eight-valve increased from 82 to 90 hp. The official regulation for the replacement of oil in-line “fours” is 15 thousand km.

Perhaps the most reliable in the car is the power unit. The developers said its engine life is up to 200 thousand km. Of the attachments, there is only a claim, perhaps, to a not-so-reliable generator. Perhaps the most reliable in the car is the power unit.

However, in reality it is not so smooth. If the cylinder-piston group is doing well, then, for example, the side tanks of the radiator may become leaky after the second winter - soldering does not help for a long time, therefore the assembly (from 5600 rubles) changes. Short-lived (approximately 30-50 thousand km) generators (4560 rubles), which at the 110th did not differ in reliability. And on relatively fresh specimens, the tension rollers (780 rubles) of the timing belt scattered. Moreover, the replacement of the timing belt on these engines is not regulated - the part changes as it wears out, as a result of inspection of the condition of the belt at each MOT. Therefore, the diagnosis should be carried out very carefully - a broken belt leads to an overhaul of the engine. The thermostat (from 390 rubles) and the pump (an average of 1200 rubles) often fail. It all depends, sadly, on the quality of the components supplied to the assembly line. The selection of parts on the Lada Priora is quite extensive. We recommend the use of products from trusted domestic manufacturers that are of consistent quality and affordable, such as, for example, Finwhale. If the engine was “plugged in”, and replacing the spark plugs (150 rubles each) did not solve the problem, one of the ignition coils (890 rubles) must have failed. Occasionally, you will have to buy new air mass flow sensors (from 2, 860 rubles) - they usually last for two to three years.

The timing belt tension pulley was not reliable from the very beginning of model production - sometimes it scattered over 7-10 thousand kilometers. The reason was the hauling of bearings. After modernization in 2011, the problem was resolved.

Transmission
In comparison with the 110th, the Lada Priora transmission also made some improvements: a reinforced clutch mechanism, a gearbox drive mechanism with closed bearings appeared. On a used machine, check the tightness and tightness of the CV joint clamps. Otherwise, you have to change the "grenade." Repair will pull about 1500−2000 rubles. However, often, again, due to the unstable quality of the parts supplied to the conveyor, it begins to creak and crackle in corners after 40-60 thousand km.

The gearbox is not burdened with congenital sores. And if you follow the maintenance card, the oil in it changes after 75 thousand kilometers or in five years - whichever comes first. However, periodically check the gearbox for leaks - the oil may “leave” a little, as evidenced by drops or puddles of the transmission under the machine after prolonged parking. The clutch serves an average of 100 thousand km - its lifespan largely depends on operating conditions and driving style. It changes as an assembly - a disk, a basket and a release bearing. This operation will result in 5000–7500 rubles.

The interior is simple and concise - nothing more. However, the Asiatic woman could not do without it - the center console, generously decorated with silver plastic, in the “Lux” version looks fabulous. The gear lever cover wears out after two years of operation. The interior is simple and concise - nothing more.

Chassis and body
In the Priora suspension, the front struts have changed, which have acquired springs with improved properties, new shock absorbers with progressive characteristics have appeared. In general, the chassis remained the same as on the predecessor of the Lada 110. Her congenital diseases remained. The second owner will probably have to face the replacement of wheel bearings, both front (990 rubles each) and rear (760 rubles each), the service life of which sometimes does not exceed 15-30 thousand km. Ball joints (650 rubles each) can be updated for 100 thousand km, or twice as often - it all depends on the driving style and the notorious quality of components.

The Priors front suspension with traditional MacPherson struts has been upgraded compared to the predecessor Lada 110 - new springs have appeared. The weaknesses in it are wheel bearings, which sometimes began to buzz at 15 thousand kilometers, and ball bearings, whose average life is 60 thousand kilometers, the Priors front suspension with traditional MacPherson struts has been modernized compared to its predecessor Lada 110 - there are new springs.

In steering, consumables are rod ends. Often surprises are the electric power steering (15, 000 rubles). He lives his life, deciding instead of the driver where and with what effort to turn the steering wheel. Some Kulibins try to repair the unit, but this, as a rule, does not lead to anything good - only a replacement is needed.

In the steering, the electric power amplifier, which sometimes lives its own life, spontaneously increasing or lowering the force on the steering wheel, is not reliable. The defect is significant, and vazovtsy claim that it is eliminated on cars younger than 2010.

Despite the six-year guarantee against rust-through on the body, chips may appear on it much earlier than the declared term, which then quickly rust. In the cold, the wiper refuses to work - grease solidifies in the gear motor. Moreover, the replacement does not help - you can’t get rid of the lazy waves of the janitors. Owners also complain about breakdowns of electric motors of electric windows. Do not keep the gas stops of the hatchback and station wagon in cold weather.

Modifications
Wagon Priora (factory index VAZ-2171) appeared in the model range exactly two years after the start of sales of the sedan, in March 2009. The car turned out harmonious and proportional. The developers took into account all the main design mistakes of the predecessor Lada 111 with this type of body and made a truly beautiful station wagon. On this modification, door handles for natural grip first appeared, which began to be installed on other versions of Lada Priora.
Station wagon Lada Priora
The stylish five-door hatchback Lada Priora (VAZ-2172) became the second car in the line of modifications. And it happened in February 2008. Of course, the car looks quite impressive in appearance. However, according to the owners, many chose a sedan instead of a hatchback only because they were bored with extraneous creaks and crickets in the rear of the cabin.
Hatchback Lada Priora
The three-door hatchback Lada Priora (VAZ-2172 Coupe) - the youngest in the model range - its sales began in January 2010. The car is produced in small batches, and the choice of second-hand copies in the market is limited. The coupe is unified with a five-door - the length and width, as well as the size of the wheelbase, are the same for both versions. True, the coupe is installed exclusively 16-valve engine rated at 98 hp

Restyling 2009
For fans of domestic cars, not spoiled by frequent changes in the lineup, any innovation in appearance and design does not go unnoticed. So, in the spring of 2009, the line of Lada Priora modifications was replenished with a station wagon, which in October 2008 was first shown at the Krasnodar motor show, and six months later it went into production. One of the significant external differences was his door handles of a different shape. Moreover, this innovation immediately migrated to all the options of a small car - sedans and five-door hatchbacks.

Restyling 2011
In the spring of 2011, the Lada Priora underwent a restyling, as a result of which the front bumper and radiator grille changed most significantly, trying on a more textured chrome trim. Larger exterior mirrors appeared with built-in turn indicators. There are updates in the interior - the center console has been substantially redesigned. The “Lux” package now includes as standard equipment ABS, climate control, rear parking sensors and an audio system.

“What is in my name for you?.. It will leave a bright imprint on the memorial leaflet, similar to the tombstone inscription in an incomprehensible language …” Most likely, these are the words of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin that your humble servant allowed himself to paraphrase a little, should perpetuate Lada Priora in the hearts of her fans. Even with minor flaws, the car is a very profitable purchase. In terms of price, driving and consumer properties, today it has no competitors. And the build quality, which at the "ten" left much to be desired, at the "Prior" reached a completely acceptable level. Especially on models younger than 2011, when at the same time as restyling, many details were modernized and most of the technical problems were solved. Of course, this is not a VAZ “classic” that can be repaired even on the knee, but the Lada Priora repair is much cheaper than any foreign car of this class.
