Technical characteristics of VAZ 2114 – 1.5i, 1.6i, 16v 1.6i


The VAZ-2114 is a five-door hatchback produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The restyled version of the VAZ-2109 was produced under the code name “Samara-2”. The car differed from previous models in the unique design of the nose area of ​​the body; it received new headlights, hood, radiator trim, bumpers and moldings. The entire Lada model range.

The official presentation took place in 2001, and serial production of this vehicle continued for 10 years (from spring 2003 to December 2013). Throughout its history, the car has undergone various improvements. The Lada-2114 car was replaced by a new Lada Priora car.

The domestic hatchback VAZ-2114 is quite common among the young population and was often purchased for the first experience of driving a car. The vehicle belongs to the budget niche, so it is not worth demanding bright indicators and characteristics from the car. Lada-2114 is suitable for country trips, as it has good ground clearance, allowing it to cope with minor obstacles and uneven road surfaces.

Car history

As mentioned above, the production of the “14th model” lay at the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The car, which was equipped with a new name “Lada 2114 Samara-2”, was created on the platform of the famous VAZ-2109. Many owners of “nines” are already tired of the outdated front panel, so the new Europanel is very popular among drivers.

Serial production of the domestic hatchback began in 2003. The Lada-2114 Samara was equipped with the already familiar four-cylinder eight-valve 1.5-liter power plant, which was able to prove itself well in the 2109 model. When 2007 arrived, the car underwent an update that affected the technical part.

The line of power units has been replenished with a brand new 8-valve 1.6-liter engine. The catalyst was now installed directly next to the internal combustion engine, and it also received a plastic housing. The changes also affected the dashboard. The company pleased drivers with the presence of an on-board computer. The glove compartment in the upper part disappeared, and the panel itself was finished with hard plastic.

After 3 years, specialists significantly modernized the VAZ-2114 in 2010. Now under the hood of the domestic hatchback there was a sixteen-valve power unit from the Lada Priora.

Thanks to cooperation with the Recaro company, it was possible to equip the car with new seats and suspension. Production of the Lada VAZ-2114 was discontinued on December 24, 2013. The “transitional” version, represented by the 14th model, was successfully replaced by a new version from Lada – Priora.

Redesign

This model rolled off the assembly line in 2007 (serial production of the original 2114 began in April 2003), earning unprecedented popularity among millions of drivers. VAZ-211440 is a 5-door hatchback, also known by another name - “Samara-2”. It is a modernization of the VAZ-2109 (in common parlance – “nine”). Most of the changes affected the front part of the body; they significantly influenced the appearance of the car. The release of the model continued the trend involving the sale of “family” cars well suited for Russian roads. The latter, as you know, are not of impeccable quality. Production of the VAZ-211440 modification, photos of which are presented in our article, continued until December 2013.

Over the 10 years of production (basic version 2114), the car became one of the best-selling models ever to come out of AvtoVAZ. The car is the best option for a family car for people on a limited budget. Its cost ranges from 150 to 200 thousand rubles. By the way, the model was originally called VAZ-2114, but since 2003, production of a modification with an improved engine and environmental class began. Our hero is an amazing car that combines good technical characteristics, comfort and design. In 2013, it was replaced by the Lada Priora, which also became popular.

Appearance

Despite the release of a newer model, there are not many differences between the VAZ-2114 and VAZ-2109 in terms of bodywork. The new product had:

  • New front part of the body;
  • New lens shape;
  • New hood;
  • Another radiator grille;
  • Improved quality of plastic on bumpers;
  • Spoiler;
  • Moldings;
  • Door sill covers.

One thing can be said frankly: the VAZ-2114 car was very lucky due to the policy pursued by the manufacturing company. In fact, the pioneer in this series was the VAZ-2115 sedan, which, as practice has shown, was a real pancake.

Taking into account the mistakes made, the innovations developed for the 15th and the use of time-tested features of the 2109, it was possible to release a complete and one of the most successful vehicles in the history of AvtoVAZ - the Lada-2114. The weight of the car was 970 kilograms, and its carrying capacity was 425 kilograms. Ground clearance height – 160 mm.

After improvements in 2011, the ground clearance was increased by 5 millimeters. This was achieved thanks to the installation of racks from Lada Priora. Between the headlights there is a small radiator grille. This decision was made partly due to the fact that the engine does not need a large air flow for cooling. It is in this place that the handle for opening the hood is located, which is very practical.

The VAZ-2114 car has become much better than its predecessor in terms of appearance and interior design. The design turned out to be more streamlined and stylish.

The side part of the VAZ-2114 has external mirrors made in a rectangular shape. Thanks to this solution, the driver has better control of the situation on the road. I would also like to mention the doors of the 14th model. They have a special opening mechanism, which makes boarding and disembarking passengers more comfortable.

According to statements by AvtoVAZ designers, the door opening angle is almost 90 percent. Not every car can boast such characteristics to improve the level of comfort for its passengers and owner. The five-door model comes with 13-inch wheels, which, if desired, can be replaced with more massive ones.

The rear part was completed with an eye to new ideas and solutions. The stern of the VA-2114 has modified headlights, which received 3 signals: stop, reverse and turn signals. This element is very practical and interesting. Moreover, this solution saves a little space. Almost all automobile concerns use similar technologies.

In general, the appearance of the VAZ-2114 has become more pleasant, modern and not so sharp compared to the VAZ-2109. A stylish body kit along the entire edge of the car added some zest to the appearance. It's nice that the bumpers are now painted to match the body color. The exterior of the new product was equipped with sporty features: the headlights narrowed, the shape of the hood changed, and the body became more streamlined.

The aerodynamic performance was initially identical to that of the 2115 model. However, later, the drag coefficient of the updated Lada-2114 was even lower - 0.45 versus 0.46 for the “standard” 2109. But the balance of lift forces changed seriously: the total lift force increased slightly, but it was now distributed evenly across the axes. Due to such improvements, the quality of driving at high speeds improves.

A small feature of the Lada 2114 car is the installed spoiler, which allows you to increase road grip, as well as the dynamic data of the car. It’s doubly nice that such an element comes already in the basic version from the factory.

Surge in popularity

Despite all the childhood illnesses, immediately afterwards the car, which was called “Chetyrka,” became a bestseller, because in terms of comfort it corresponded to budget foreign cars, but was noticeably cheaper. Motors with a power of 77–98 hp. With. provided good dynamics for cars of this class, and stability and controllability are considered sufficient even today for budget B-segment models. Therefore, when purchasing a VAZ-2114, buyers received a Russian car with the comfort of a foreign car, which put the Chetyrka on par with foreign models that were locally or entirely manufactured in the Russian Federation.

In addition, in the first decade of the 21st century, “Nine” was no longer a symbol of success, but that generation, which at the time of the appearance of the VAZ-2109 could not buy it due to youth and financial difficulties, transferred its love to the new model. After all, by this time the entire Samara-1 family was very outdated and its main buyers were only those who did not have enough money for a “normal car”. The appearance of the successor to the Four, the Priora hatchback, did not reduce the popularity of this model.

Even at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, the VAZ-2114 looks good against the background of foreign cars aged 15–20 years, and is also not much inferior to them in reliability, because age takes its toll.

Interior

As for the interior decoration of the VAZ-2114, it has inexpensive but high-quality materials. The hard plastic of the front panel creaks a lot when driving. From the point of view of our drivers, the interior can even be considered “luxury”, since it has an on-board computer, a seat heating function, two power windows and fog lights.

The on-board computer displays information about the remaining gasoline in the tank, the number of kilometers that can still be driven, average consumption and time. The steering wheel is comfortable and can be easily adjusted to suit you. It’s very nice that the steering wheel does not interfere with a full view of the instruments on the panel. The interior of the updated VAZ-2114 also has a heater with an updated structure. The doors are equipped with central locks.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the new Europanel. It has two liquid crystal displays. The left corner of the “instrument board” is occupied by a temperature sensor, which informs the driver about the current engine temperature in order to prevent overheating of the power unit. This sensor is designed in the form of a scale. Next comes the tachometer, which has a round design.

The central upper part has indicators in the form of arrows. Near the engine speed sensor there is a scale that displays the speed of the machine. The maximum value on the speedometer is 200 kilometers per hour. Finally, the upper right part shows the level of gasoline in the tank. Under this sensor there were indicators for turning on the side lights and high beams, as well as a message about a malfunction of the brake system.

Not without an overboard thermometer. The driver's seat is not the most comfortable. It simply cannot be adjusted. When landing, the notch puts pressure on the lower back, and most car owners are guilty of this. The central part has emergency signs, which during normal operation of the vehicle look like an ordinary dark stripe.

Due to the new panel structure, interior ventilation has increased. We managed to eliminate the problem of air supply to the deflectors on the sides. The upholstery of the chairs has a fabric structure, which over time becomes covered with very noticeable abrasions. Many elements of the interior decoration have a lot of play and creaking, which can be heard even with the slightest movement. But it’s nice that such a defect can be easily eliminated.

Also, the restyled Lada 2114 model is equipped with seat belt fasteners from the “ten”. The ceiling received a customizable interior lighting flashlight. Lada 2114 does not have a lot of free space for passengers. The rear-mounted sofa is uncomfortable and uncomfortable on long trips. Although the rear seats can be folded down, in their normal state they take up a lot of space.

It will not be so comfortable for a tall person to sit in the back. In principle, even an ordinary person with average height will feel uncomfortable. The rear windows are manual. A lot of owners of the fourteenth model struggle with extraneous noise in the cabin using sound and vibration insulation. However, due to such improvements, the weight of the vehicle increases significantly.

Some VAZ-2114 owners complain that the rear doors are jammed, making them difficult to open. Also, the loud and unpleasant sound of doors closing has not gone away. If the back row is folded and the shelf is removed, the usable space inside the Russian hatchback will become larger – 600 liters. In the normal position, the luggage compartment does not have a large volume - 330 liters.

It’s also unpleasant that the factory shelf, which we talked about a little higher, constantly rattles. This is why many people advise buying an acoustic shelf that will dampen such unpleasant sounds. In general, the update had a positive impact mainly on the interior, although there are some controversial issues. For example, the stove has become more powerful, but because of this the noise level has increased.

What problems do “14s” have with mileage?

Young people, as a rule, get the most out of their cars, which is why there are a lot of damaged cars on the secondary market. Here is a live example, you don’t even need to look closely:

The avtocod.ru report shows that the car was involved in accidents three times:

In all three cases, the impact fell on the same part of the body:

The car was issued a copy of the title, there are restrictions on registration with the traffic police.

Another problem with used “fourteeners” is the twisted mileage. Here's a live example:

The mileage in the ad is 150 thousand km, in the report it is 146,343 km:

But in fact, the car has driven more than 200 thousand km:

This car is pretty tired and will probably require repairs. Better to look for something else.

Specifications

Engine

Over the 10 years of serial production of the Lada 2114, several power units were placed under its hood. First, it is worth mentioning the 1.5-liter, 8-valve engine, which developed 78 horsepower and 116 Nm. This engine consumed about 7.3 liters for every 100 kilometers in combined mode.

This modification has an injection intake controlled via an electronic unit, replacing the obsolete carburetor intake. Not without a new camshaft with adjusted phases. After AvtoVAZ introduced an injector into the VAZ-2114 engine, a group of engineers increased the efficiency of the engine, adding power to it. On the other hand, it was also possible to reduce the “fuel appetite”.

In 2004, a modification of the power unit was released, with a displacement of 1.6 liters. The engine already produced 81 horsepower and 125 Nm. In combined mode, the engine consumed 7.6 liters per hundred kilometers. The eight-valve injection engine has an increased volume thanks to the cylinder height increased by 2.3 millimeters, which provides a longer piston stroke.

Instead of the ignition module, they began to install a coil. The new version of the engine has become more powerful and environmentally friendly, but gasoline consumption has increased when compared with the first 1.5-liter engine. In addition, in the same year they released a 1.6-liter version of the engine with a 16-valve system.

Such an engine already produced 89 “horses” and 131 Nm of rotational force. Based on the passport data, for every 100 kilometers you need 7.5 liters of gasoline in combined mode. In 2007, this engine was subjected to serious modification. The working volume remained at the same level – 1.6 liters. But power increased to 98 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque.

It’s nice that the increased power did not negatively affect the “fuel appetite”. According to the passport data, the new product consumes 7.2 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. They worked hard on the previous VAZ-2114 engine for 3 years and made several changes.


Engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters.

The connecting rod and piston group was lightened by as much as 39 percent. The drive of the gas distribution mechanism was changed - now it was tensioned automatically. The valve wells have become smaller in size. The quality of cylinder honing has increased significantly.

Transmission

All VAZ-2114 engines operate together with a five-speed manual transmission, which has been improved. All torque potential is transmitted exclusively to the front wheels. Both the transmission and the suspension were developed only by Russian engineers.

Chassis

The car was built on the platform of the previous model - the time-tested "nine" (VAZ-2109), which was subjected to serious modernization. The front wheels operate with McPherson struts, and the rear wheels with trailing arms or coil springs. Driving the car does not cause the most pleasant sensations, since there is no power steering.

The steering wheel itself is made of a rack and pinion type. The braking system of the domestic hatchback received disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. If we take the average speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour, then the braking distance with passengers will be 40 m.

Safety

It’s not very pleasant to talk about the safety level of the Lada-2114. The car does not have airbags and the body metal is too thin, which is not capable of providing the proper level of protection in an emergency. The vehicle is severely deformed even with mild impacts, so it is advisable not to drive at high speeds.

Options and prices

The equipment of the Lada-2114 will not be very rich. However, the car is practical, unusual and has a whole list of necessary functions. The car has:

  • Climate control;
  • Seat with plenty of settings;
  • A steering wheel that can be adjusted both in terms of reach and vertical plane;
  • Instrument panel with engine speed and speed sensors;
  • On-board computer;
  • Central console with an abundance of buttons;
  • Anti-lock braking system;
  • Front seat heating function.

It is no longer possible to purchase a new VAZ 2114 car, since the production of this model has been stopped. But on the used car market you can buy a pretty good option. The price may vary depending on the year of manufacture, equipment and general condition. On average, this is about 240,000 Russian rubles.

Modifications

In addition to the cars that AvtoVAZ produced, its modifications went on sale, that is:

  • increased power car from SuperAuto;
  • truck "Pirozhok" from the PSA VIS-Auto company.

The Russian company Super Auto installed engines with increased power on the VAZ-2114, which increased the maximum speed and improved dynamics. The only disadvantage of this modification is the need to fill in gasoline with an octane rating of 95–98.

The truck based on the 2114 is made by AvtoVAZ’s subsidiary, the PSA VIS-Avto company. This modification is a hybrid of the "Fourteenth" front end and the rear end with leaf spring suspension, resulting in load-carrying characteristics that are almost double those of the factory model.

Based on the Lada 2114 from PSA VIS-Auto they make various versions of pickups and trucks, including “Pirozhki”, also known as “Kabluchki”, that is, analogues of the IZH-2715 based on the Moskvich and the VIS-234500-30 based on the VAZ- 2107.

Tuning

Any car owner wants his car to be something different and stand out on the road. In addition, drivers want to improve their technical performance by achieving an increase in power or a decrease in fuel appetite. The best way to achieve these goals is to tune your vehicle.

It involves improving visual properties, driving characteristics and improving comfort. It's nice that you can do most of the tuning of the Lada 2114 yourself. There are several main parts of tuning:

  • Appearance;
  • Inner part;
  • The power unit compartment, chassis and other improvements that increase the performance of the hatchback.

Body tuning

The easiest way to modernize the body of a domestic car is to paint the body in unusual colors or use stickers. Using the game of contrasts, you can make the car catchy and noticeable in city traffic. However, it is very important not to forget to coordinate the actions with the traffic police, since the color of the car is indicated in the documents.

Interesting details of the car modernization include air intakes. Some change the appearance of the hood and roof. Although the driving performance of the vehicle does not depend on this, the appearance of the tuning model will become more unusual. Not so often, but you can still find “lambo doors”, which look very catchy.

Car doors that open upwards will be difficult to ignore. It is not so easy to carry out this work. It is very important not to forget to adjust the gaps. In the future, you can improve driving comfort in the dark by tuning the Lada 2114 headlights. You can paint the lamps yourself and place LED elements or lenses in them.

If you don’t want to tinker, factory versions of headlights for Lada 2113-15 are sold, which differ from the basic ones. To give your car a new look, you can install a stylish body kit. It has:

  • Front and rear bumper;
  • Wing;
  • Wing covers.

With the help of such parts it will be possible to increase the air flow to the VAZ-2114 power unit and improve aerodynamics. The exterior of the car will receive more sporty notes. Elements for tuning are purchased either separately or as a set. They stand out for their appearance, strength, weight and other parameters. Among the disadvantages of such modernization, it is worth highlighting the high cost of body elements.

It’s also worth mentioning the side mirrors. The standard elements do not have a great view and ice forms there in cold weather. Specialized stores can offer mirrors that are free of these shortcomings. With the help of new mirrors, you will not only improve the appearance of the car, but also increase the level of driving comfort and safety.

Small details that can improve the appearance of the VAZ-2114 include linings of various designs and appearances. There are also more modern windshields, a bumper air intake, wheel arch trims, etc.

Interior tuning

Changes can be made not only to the exterior of our hatchback, but to the interior. You can tune the interior of a VAZ-2114 in different ways, since almost everything can be changed. The simplest tuning of the 14th model includes:

  • Installation of the armrest;
  • Replacement of the rear view mirror;
  • Installation of attachments for mobile gadgets;
  • Decorations.

It is important to understand that the overall modernization of the Lada 2114 interior using your own efforts will take some time and significant funds. You should immediately understand what you need personally and at the moment.

Next, you can trim the doors and the interior as a whole. The inside of a car can be upholstered with a variety of materials. Fabric, leatherette and even suede leather are perfect. Then the audio system and dashboard are installed. You can use the factory dashboard, or you can install a newer one, which will significantly brighten up the interior of the car.

Some people glue surfaces with vibration-proof sheets. Such work will help reduce noise inside the VAZ-2114. The basic steering wheel is unlikely to feel pleasant, so you can replace it with a sports steering wheel.

But it is important to remember that such changes may be of interest to traffic police officers. To improve your car, install LED lighting for the underbody, luggage compartment and interior. This will have a positive effect on the visual perception of the car.

Chassis tuning

If we talk about modernizing the chassis, it will not have a positive effect on the appearance of the car, but it will significantly increase the dynamics and behavior of the hatchback on the road surface. There are 2 options for this tuning: sport and economy. The sports option implies an increase in the driving characteristics of the vehicle, which will allow the car to be more dynamic.

The name of the second option speaks for itself - it reduces fuel consumption. Among the main systems that undergo improvement are the power unit and chassis. Tuning the Lada 2114 suspension includes calibration of the entire system, wheel alignment of the hatchback, as well as modernization of individual elements:

  • Replacing springs;
  • Improved shock absorbers;
  • Installation of anti-roll bar.

Such improvements will improve the level of driving comfort and optimize the behavior of the VAZ-2114 on the road. As a result, the car will sway less and will stop rolling during a sharp turn.

Powertrain tuning

Tuning the engine of the 13th, 14th or 15th model is quite difficult, but it is possible. To achieve an increase in engine power, it is necessary to reflash the control unit and increase the diameter of the cylinders using boring. To achieve a better result, you can replace the BC that distributes the gas. Taken together, these actions are quite safe and help increase the engine’s power by up to a third.

More effective, but risky methods include installing a turbine and replacing the crankshaft with a new one with an extended piston stroke. Such work will make the VAZ-2114 more dynamic, but this often leads to rapid failure of the hatchback engine. No one has canceled the possibility of chip tuning the VAZ-2114, which will also allow you to increase power or reduce fuel consumption without disassembling the engine.

Comparison with competitors

In this price segment, the VAZ-2114 car does not have many direct competitors. But the choice other than the 14th model may fall on the VAZ-2112 or the younger Lada Priora. There is no point in talking about significant differences, but it is clear that the Lada Priora will be newer and more modern.

All cars are produced by the same manufacturer, so there will be no fundamental differences. Some people will like the Lada-2114 because of its sportier appearance, but there will also be connoisseurs for the VAZ-2112 or Lada Priora. In any case, the choice is made by everyone personally.

Suspension

The suspension characteristics of the model are not very good; the car is equipped with a front independent suspension, which is mounted on 2 levers, equipped with cylindrical coil springs, cylindrical shock absorbers and anti-roll bars. The rear suspension of the Lada is dependent and consists of a guide device and special elastic elements that dampen vibrations and shaking of the body. Car enthusiasts often tune the suspension by installing stiffer springs and increasing the stiffness of the stabilizer. The suspension is quite reliable, but this does not mean that it does not need to be taken care of and monitored; chassis repair is always a complex and time-consuming process that requires special equipment.

The car was mass produced from 2003 to 2013 and during this time managed to gain great popularity among domestic car enthusiasts, but progress does not stand still and in 2013 this model was replaced by the Lada Kalina. If you were considering the possibility of buying a domestic car, then the VAZ 2114 is an excellent option; it will serve you faithfully for many years.

History of VAZ 2114

The VAZ-2114 hatchback was created in the mid-90s as part of the development of the Samara-2 family. This car is a modified VAZ-21093 with a front part from the well-known VAZ-2115 model (optics, radiator grille, front spoiler) and with a slightly modified design of the rear part of the body (the rear bumper has been changed). The bumpers are painted in body color, and moldings and sill fairings are installed on the sides of the body. The interior of the VAZ 2114 is equipped with a new instrument panel (the so-called “European panel”), an adjustable steering column, a steering wheel from the “tenth” family, and a heater of a new design. When the rear seat is folded, the car transforms into a cargo-passenger version, similar to a station wagon. The car is equipped with electric windows, tinted windows, fog lights, heated seats, central door locking, and alloy wheels.

The first copies of the VAZ 2114 were assembled on the factory assembly line in 2000, in 2001 a pilot batch of 50 cars was assembled, and in 2002 it was planned to begin mass production in the amount of 30 thousand cars per year. Currently, the VAZ 2114 hatchback is assembled in small quantities at Pilot Industrial Production (PIP) and is already on sale.

The aerodynamics of the VAZ-2114 are similar to the VAZ-2115, in which Cx has decreased slightly, the lift force has decreased and its distribution along the axes has noticeably improved. The drag coefficient Cx of the updated hatchback decreased only slightly - 0.45 versus 0.46 for the regular “nine”. But the balance of lifting forces has changed radically: the total lifting force has increased slightly, but it is now distributed evenly along the axes. And this promises more balanced behavior of the car at high speed.

The car is equipped with a 1.5 liter injection engine. (VAZ 2111) with distributed fuel injection, providing increased dynamic properties and improved fuel efficiency.

After leaving the assembly line, the VAZ-2114 gained great popularity among car enthusiasts in the CIS countries. The car was budget, thereby becoming accessible to many. “Fourteen” replaced the no less popular VAZ-2109 at that time. The changes affected not only the interior, but the entire car as a whole.

Owner reviews

Owners of the Lada 2114 note the more modern and beautiful appearance of the car when comparing the model with the VAZ-2112 or, even more so, with the “nine”. The car is even worth its price, especially when you compare it even with used foreign cars. The hatchback, according to owners' reviews, is quite easy to drive.

The latest versions received front electric windows, an on-board computer, a heated rear window, and so on. The power plant turned out to be quite playful. I can't help but be pleased with the ground clearance, which allows the car to be used not only for city trips.

The domestic hatchback is unpretentious in maintenance. The cost of spare parts is not as scary as for the same foreign cars. With such a fairly agile power unit, fuel consumption is within normal limits. The car is ideal for tuning lovers, as it has a large springboard for modernization options both outside and inside. It is worth mentioning the excellent aerodynamics.

On the other hand, it is important to take into account the far from best assembly and the very quality of finishing materials. Drivers of the VAZ-2114 complain about unreliability, lack of free space inside the car, low quality iron and paint materials. Often a car is purchased for a family, but the 14th model suffers in terms of safety, because it doesn’t even have a driver’s airbag.

Also, the car does not have air conditioning and often breaks down. There is a feeling of discomfort during long trips. The seats lack good lateral support. The front panel plastic is quite hard.

Controllability

The car's handling is difficult to call ideal. Yes, it takes turns, confidently accelerates, but at the same time it has a noticeable play when turning the steering wheel, which is several times higher than the permissible values. The “fourteenth” has an independent spring suspension at the front, and a semi-independent spring at the rear.

Being a car passenger also has a hard time - due to the stiff suspension, all road irregularities are felt in the cabin. You won’t be able to drive the “fourteenth” off-road either – any “diagonal” will take the driver by surprise. This car is designed for city and highway travel.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pros of the car

  • Good aerodynamics;
  • Pleasant appearance;
  • Quite fast power plants;
  • Acceptable ride height;
  • In high esteem among the young population;
  • Lots of possibilities for various improvements;
  • Already the base car has a small and stylish rear spoiler;
  • Front-wheel drive;
  • Good stability;
  • Bumpers painted to match the body color;
  • Good wear resistance of the suspension;
  • More pleasant europanel;
  • There is an on-board computer;
  • Heated front seats;
  • Price;
  • Electric windows;
  • Cast wheels with the possibility of installing “rollers” of larger diameter;
  • Adjustable steering column;
  • Ease of repair;
  • Low fuel consumption.

Cons of the car

  • Door handles often fail;
  • The bumpers are also very easy to break since they are plastic;
  • The car rots very quickly, it is necessary to treat it with a primer yourself, since the manufacturing company missed this;
  • There's not much space inside;
  • Low level of security;
  • No air conditioning or power steering;
  • Poor build quality;
  • Hard plastic front panel;
  • Small luggage compartment.

Results

Considering the information about the Russian five-door, we can safely say that the VAZ-2114 is a car that has more advantages than disadvantages. The car cannot be classified as a comfortable and luxurious car in the premium segment. The quality of parts, elements and assembly in general is far from ideal. But even if we take into account all these shortcomings, we cannot say that the hatchback turned out to be outright bad.

It has a pleasant and quite stylish appearance, is unpretentious in maintenance and repair, and allows for various tuning, which concerns not only the exterior, but also the interior of the car. It is also worth adding the low cost of the car as a whole and low prices for spare parts.

Of course, the issue of security is at the forefront, since there is none here. There is also very little free space inside, and the luggage compartment is small. The power of the power units is enough for dynamic movement, and the “fuel appetite” will not seriously deplete your wallet. Separately, it is worth noting the energy-intensive suspension and good handling, which was achieved thanks to the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle.

Unlike its predecessors, the VAZ-2114 received an adjustable steering column, an on-board computer, heated front seats and electric windows for the front doors. A Europanel with two small LCD displays also appeared. All this significantly increased the overall level of comfort.

Therefore, Lada-2114 can be safely recommended to novice drivers and those who like to delve into the car. This hatchback is often found on the roads of many cities and continues to serve faithfully, regardless of time.

The first sales copy of the VAZ 2114 appeared in 2002. This car is a restyled “nine” and attracts Russian car enthusiasts with its modern appearance and technical capabilities for self-expression through professional tuning.
