What to choose VAZ 2110 or VAZ 2114 - which Lada is better

Before purchasing a new or used domestic car, every car owner is often tormented for a very long time by the agony of choosing between several models.
And this time we’ll look at a comparison of two models from AvtoVAZ, such as the VAZ 2114 and VAZ 2110. And we’ll try to highlight all the pros and cons of each car. I would like to note right away that I had to operate each of these cars for quite a long time and I can objectively compare which one wins where and which one remains a loser.

VAZ 2110 or 2114 – which is better and what to choose? Car comparison

Buying a vehicle is a very serious matter in which it is worth studying all aspects of the issue. If you are faced with a choice - to buy the tenth or fourteenth model of the domestic manufacturer AvtoVAZ, then you should carefully familiarize yourself with the features of these two interesting cars. Appearance alone is not enough to make a decision about the advisability of a purchase. You also need to recognize their strengths and weaknesses.

In our article we will try to figure out what is worth buying - a VAZ 2110 or a VAZ 2114. And, if it is, then which model should you prefer?

Exterior and interior

The VAZ 2110 is a full-fledged sedan, equipped with four doors, inflated aerodynamic body kits, large head optics and a large glazing area.

VAZ 2114 – car; in a hatchback body, repeating the style and concept of the ninth AvtoVAZ model, which is characterized by broken lines and sharp shapes. The “fourteenth” model has five doors, one of which provides access to the luggage compartment.

The interiors of the two vehicles are no different in terms of comfort: two rows of seats upholstered in fabric, a dashboard oriented toward the driver with many buttons, and small legroom.

Lada Kalina

The lineup of the Lada Kalina family also includes a station wagon (1117), a sedan (1118) and a hatchback (1119). A little later, the five-door Lada Kalina Sport was added to the 19th model. The first generation Kalina cars were equipped with 16-valve injection engines of 1.4-1.6 liters. with a power of 81, 89 and 98 hp. With.

Among the undeniable advantages of both generations of Kalina are a more spacious interior, good visibility, efficiency and satisfactory body rigidity.

Since 2013, AvtoVAZ launched a modernized Kalina series. The second generation family is represented by station wagon, hatchback, crossover and Sport. Cars with an on-board computer, a modern multimedia system, parking sensors, heated side windows and other innovations left the “top ten” far behind in all respects. However, prices for second-generation models are far from budget. The cost of the cheapest model is 400 thousand rubles, and the most expensive (NFR) exceeds 800 thousand rubles.

Technical characteristics of VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2114

When comparing two vehicles, it is necessary to compare their technical characteristics.

As can be seen from the table, the “ten” is longer, higher and significantly heavier than its opponent. The wheelbase of the VAZ 2110 exceeds that of the VAZ 2114 by 32 mm. The tenth model loses only in the volume of the luggage compartment, which, alas, cannot be increased.

Trunk of VAZ 2114

As for the carrying capacity of vehicles, the sedan is again the leader here - 475 kg versus 425 kg for the hatchback.

Salon

The dimensions of the interior are important for daily driving - after all, the comfort inside largely depends on the size of the seat.

Comparison of interiors by internal dimensions:

As can be seen from the table: the front seat in twelfth is significantly wider: 20 centimeters. The space in the back is about the same.

Tips for novice drivers

Most car enthusiasts with little driving experience give preference to these models. The reason for this is the cheapness of spare parts and repairs. VAZ parts are sold in abundance in almost all auto stores, which greatly simplifies the process of restoring broken components.

In addition to maintainability, the cars have another important advantage over their competitors - they are able to creatively inspire their owners. Exclusive tuning of body elements, installation of experimental engines, reduction of ground clearance - all this most often happens with the VAZ 2110 and 2114 models. Car enthusiasts, making unique changes to vehicles, develop their engineering and creative skills. Some craftsmen even create masterpieces that have become famous throughout the world. For example, stuntmen Gennady and Sergey Kocherga, inspired by a Chinese toy, created a real transformer based on the VAZ 2110.

Despite such seemingly “limitless possibilities,” both models cannot be called an ideal option for beginners. It's all about the low level of security. Numerous accidents involving VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2114 have repeatedly proven that the phrase “tin can” almost completely characterizes the true essence of the models. Since young drivers tend to violate speed limits and expose their lives to unreasonable risks, it will not be possible to remain safe and sound in the cabin of these vehicles.

Of course, if we compare both cars, then, given the limited choice, it is better for an inexperienced driver to stop at the “fourteenth”. It’s more compact than the “ten” and shorter, so you’ll get used to its dimensions faster. Among the VAZ 2114 you can find more recent versions - 2013 model year. The main thing you should know is that you cannot drive them while violating traffic rules.

Also remember:

• a car with a seven-year history and a mileage of up to 80 thousand km is extremely rare,
• before purchasing it, you should check the car data at the auto library,
• Immediately after purchase, all fluids and filters must be replaced (even if, according to the seller, they were replaced a couple of days ago). There is no need to save money,
• Carry out regular vehicle maintenance.

When purchasing any car, carefully read its operating manual. And if you nevertheless purchased a VAZ 2114, fill it only with the fuel recommended by the manufacturer, namely AI-95.

Strengths and weaknesses of cars

The weak point of domestic cars, and not only the two under consideration, is the quickly rusting body. In practice, there have been specimens that acquired through corrosion after just two years of operation. Rotting began due to the smallest chips of the paintwork, after frozen snow or dirt accumulated at the bottom of the car. Despite the fact that the main part of the body of the VAZ 2110 and 2114 consists of galvanized steel, it requires annual “feeding” with anticorrosive. Those drivers who neglected this faced rust.

Lada 2110

Another common problem with the vehicles in question, as noted earlier, is the low level of safety. Cars are not equipped with airbags, emergency braking systems, or anti-lock braking systems. Yes, at the time of their release they practically did not lag behind competitive models in terms of safety, but now, with the increase in the number of traffic participants on the roads, this fact cannot be neglected.

Car optics is a separate topic for discussion. Both the “ten” and the “fourteenth” have large rectangular headlights. However, there is not much light from them. As car owners note, in rain or fog you have to almost feel your way through.

Lada 2110 (1995–2007)

The weak points of the models also include problematic wiring, interior fogging, and lack of sound insulation.

The main advantage of the “ten” is its attractive appearance. Unlike the “square” fourteenth model, it is decorated with inflated body elements that visually make the car larger. The interiors of domestic vehicles are cramped. However, in terms of comfort, the VAZ 2110 again wins, since it does not have the usual “stool seating”. The car seats allow the driver to stretch his legs forward and relax a little behind the wheel. Despite the fact that both vehicles are designed to carry five people, they will hardly fit into the cabin. Four is the ceiling of convenience.

Lada Samara 2114

The luggage compartment of the VAZ 2114 can become almost twice as large by folding the rear row of seats; on the “ten” such manipulations will not be possible.

Price policy

As for the cost of cars, a ten would be preferable here. Its purchase will cost the car enthusiast 250 thousand rubles, while the VAZ 2114 will cost about 300 thousand rubles. That is, 20% more expensive. The more attractive design of the VAZ 2110 is due to the presence of parts that can be found even in Priora or Granta. We will end the review here, and draw your own conclusions.

it depends on which one of you is driving, let him decide

That's the whole point - we both rule! =))))

It depends on what. In my opinion, a chisel is better than a ten. Because: 1. It is much more repairable if you do it yourself, and also cheaper for a number of spare parts. 2. Has a more rigid and durable body. As a result, it handles better. The chisel's reactions to the steering wheel are much more accurate than those of the ten. At the same time, the top ten: 1. More dynamic, quieter and a little more economical. 2. Has a more spacious interior. This is especially noticeable in the back row. Decide what is more important to you.

The 14 has a larger trunk))) well, maybe not more, but clearly more convenient. + like all hatchbacks it has a rear wiper, and this makes life easier

Well, who cares what is more convenient))) We had 8 and 10. For me, it’s better when the trunk is still separate, when in winter you open the trunk, all the cold goes into the cabin.

Reviews from car owners

I owned a VAZ 2110 with a 1.5 engine (78 hp) for four years and a VAZ 2114 (1.6 liter engine, 81 hp) for two years. Both cars turned out to have character. The “Ten” simply consumed tons of fuel. On the highway it took 13-14 liters per 100 km. The “fourteenth” had less consumption, but it had to be spent on 95 gasoline. I tried to drive at 92, but the car doesn’t work. Among the advantages of both: - convenient dashboard, - good visibility, - affordable repairs, - all spare parts are available in stores. Among the shortcomings are problematic motors that require attention. “Fourteenth” eventually began to twitch and stall. I went through the entire system, replaced the flow meter, cleaned the throttle, unless I danced with a tambourine next to it, but the problem was not solved. The body also crawled quickly. As a result, I sold it for scrap metal. The “ten” has a more attractive fate - it traveled with me for about 106 thousand kilometers, and then was sold at a profit to a neighbor in the garage. He still rides it to this day. Although 5 years have already passed. I would not recommend these cars either as a first car or as a family car. At their price you can buy much more reliable foreign cars.

Igor, Omsk

I read reviews from many car enthusiasts and am surprised: either they come across such “buckets”, or I was born in a shirt. I had only positive experiences with the “tens” and “fourteens”. On the “fourteenth” I picked up my beloved wife and daughter from the maternity hospital, so I remember the car with special warmth. It is comfortable, roomy, nimble. The stroller fits in the trunk without any problems. In winter it starts up properly and the consumption is tolerable. The options include everything you need for comfortable movement. With the “ten” there was only one serious problem - the inserts turned out. I was pleasantly surprised by the price of the repair. Cheap, fast. After this incident, I drove another 60+ thousand km and sold it. If you take care of your cars, they will last a very long time. And if you squeeze every last drop out of them, then even the coolest foreign car won’t last long.

Vadim, Minsk

Have you ever ridden a horse? The wind in your face, the tapping of hooves under the saddle, a slight shaking. When driving a VAZ 2110 and 2114, you get absolutely the same sensations. The complete lack of comfort in these cars even upset me. In 2004, I bought a ten with a 1.5 liter engine as my first car. Since there was nothing special to compare with, at first I thought that everything was perfect. Then I began to notice that the engine speed was fluctuating. I gave it to the service and they did it. After this, problems with ignition appeared. In general, because of little things, the car began to self-destruct. After ten years I had an old Opel for a couple of years. Then my parents gave me a brand new “14”. And you know, even after the old Opel, the new VAZ 2114 seemed incredibly uncomfortable. Stiff suspension, cramped interior (my height is 183 cm), creaky plastic…. It turned out, by the way, that the car practically spits out gasoline if you drive at a speed of 100-110 km per hour. It accelerates impressively and is difficult to control. I would not recommend buying these cars even for simply honing your driving skills. There are too many problems with them.

Lada Kalina

The lineup of the Lada Kalina family also includes a station wagon (1117), a sedan (1118) and a hatchback (1119). A little later, the five-door Lada Kalina Sport was added to the 19th model. The first generation Kalina cars were equipped with 16-valve injection engines of 1.4-1.6 liters. with a power of 81, 89 and 98 hp. With.

Among the undeniable advantages of both generations of Kalina are a more spacious interior, good visibility, efficiency and satisfactory body rigidity.

Since 2022, AvtoVAZ has launched a modernized Kalina series. The second generation family is represented by station wagon, hatchback, crossover and Sport.

Cars with an on-board computer, a modern multimedia system, parking sensors, heated side windows and other innovations left the “top ten” far behind in all respects. However, prices for second-generation models are far from budget.

The cost of the cheapest model is 400 thousand rubles, and the most expensive (NFR) exceeds 800 thousand rubles.

Summarize

Yes, the repair of these two cars will require small expenses from their owners. All spare parts are always in stock, so the whole procedure will take little time. However, buying a vehicle, planning in advance where it will be sent for repairs, is illogical. The car must be, first of all, reliable. This characteristic cannot be applied to the VAZ 2110 and VAZ 2114.

A large number of problems with engines, chassis and electronics make it unattractive in the eyes of potential buyers. People who have limited funds buy a car, and the purchase is most often accompanied by the words “I don’t feel sorry for it.” It’s really not a pity: neither modern appearance, nor “explosive” dynamic characteristics. If AvtoVAZ had carefully improved the technical side of the cars, released modern restyled versions, introduced at least a minimal safety system into the equipment and improved the optics of its creations, their history would have received a new, promising continuation.

Engines VAZ-2110 and 2114

If we consider production cars, then the tenth generation models were equipped with both standard 8-valve and 16-valve engines. And the VAZ-2114 in most cases has 8-valve engines. In recent years, AvtoVAZ has offered consumers the opportunity to purchase a VAZ-2114 model with a 16-valve system, but this pleasure can only be obtained for an additional fee. If we consider the latest modifications, there is no difference in the internal combustion engines of the VAZ-2110 and 2114, therefore the engine power of these two models will be approximately the same.

Briefly about the models

Which is better, VAZ 2112 or VAZ 2114? Descriptive characteristics in the form of a comparison of two models.

VAZ-2112: The car is completely reminiscent of the sedan version of the well-known 10. The model has a 16-valve power unit with a volume of 1.5 - 1.6 liters and a power of 92 l/s. A serious drawback is the difficulty of replacing the timing belt, since the valves and the upper part of the piston mechanism may come into contact.

VAZ-2114: The modernized model 2109 was released back in 2003 and lasted until 2013. The successor was the Lada Granta sedan. The “Achilles heel” is the weak tie rod ends, which do not last more than 10,000 km. mileage

Body rigidity and anti-corrosion coating

In this category, the VAZ-2110 has positive qualities, since the body of this car is made more successfully. It is stiffer than 2114 and much more resistant to corrosion. This fact can be confirmed by experienced car owners who moved from a VAZ-2110 to a 2114. Under similar operating conditions, the body of the VAZ-2114 becomes corroded faster than the 2110.

The aerodynamics of the VAZ-2110 are slightly higher, so the speed of the car, according to the passport data, is slightly higher.

Suspension and ride comfort

The design of the struts and shock absorbers on these two models is almost identical, so you won’t be able to feel a significant difference, but at high speeds when turning, the tenth model behaves much more confidently than the 2114, this is due to a more rigid body, which many owners appreciated. The seats of the VAZ-2110 are quite comfortable, and it’s easier to travel a long way in them, since your back will be much less tired.

If we consider the issue of safety, then the VAZ-2110 has an advantage. According to the results of the frontal crash test, it turned out that the “ten” has a strong interior strength structure. Powerful pipes are welded into the front doors, which, in the event of a frontal impact, act as spacers, seat belts and latches, also at a high level. The VAZ-2114 cannot boast of this. Upon impact, the new bumper, in the place of which there used to be an aluminum beam, will completely shatter, which, naturally, will affect the driver and passenger located near him.

Safety, prestige and design

Safety is the weakest link in VAZ cars and the entire Russian automotive industry. UAZ still copes with this task relatively well, but it is far from being comparable to foreign cars. None of our cars have yet received at least a full 4 out of 5 possible stars for a crash test using the EuroNCAP method. This fact is very unpleasant, VAZ workers are trying, alas, in vain so far.

Priora is a modification of Lada 2110,2112,2113, based on the body type. In fact, changing the name is just a marketing ploy. Naturally, the car has undergone many changes - in the body, engine, and security system. In the entire development of the Russian automobile industry, Priora is the first car to receive an airbag for the driver as standard.

In contrast to the “ten,” the Priora’s body withstood frontal and frontal impacts, although with a slight advantage. The airbag worked accurately and on time.

The crash test showed that the Priora is a relatively safe and reliable car. According to the test results, in the event of a frontal and frontal impact at a speed of 40-50 km/h, the driver and passenger will receive injuries that are not life-threatening.

Priora earned 3 full stars and 10 points on a 16-point scale.

Beauty Kalina 2.7 generation

With Lada Kalina the situation is much worse. According to the crash test, the surface of the car body was not damaged to the same extent as the driver and passenger. During a frontal impact, the readings of the sensors in the cervical vertebrae of the dummies went off scale.

Also, the mannequins had severe deformation of the chest, a huge number of bruises throughout the body and heavy loads on the knees, spine, and hip joints. According to some indicators, Kalina turned out to be even more terrible than the unsafe Cossack.

According to the EuroNCAP methodology, it earned a shameful one star out of 5 possible. However, this is an assessment of the first modification of the car; as for the redesigned version of Kalina 2022, the results are slightly better: 2.5 stars. In this aspect, Priora is one step ahead.

Both cars are equipped with airbags and the ABS system.

In the process of choosing a car, prestige is also important. Which driver is governed by his views on the suit of the car and, depending on this, gives preference to one or another brand?

Comparing the cost

AvtoVAZ's pricing policy for these two models is not much different. VAZ-2110 can be purchased for 250,000 rubles. The positive characteristics of 2110 have been known for a long time. High-quality installed parts allow you to enjoy the operation of your car. The VAZ-2110 fully complies with the quality guarantee, although in appearance it is slightly inferior to some models of this line.

The price of the five-door hatchback VAZ-2114 reaches 295,000 rubles. The appearance of this car is borrowed from the ninth VAZ model; it differs from previous models in the design of the front part of the body with new headlights and hood, bumpers, radiator trim and moldings. Otherwise, there is no significant difference between these two models.

Description of car 2110

This model is a second-generation car that managed to carve out a legitimate niche for itself in the automotive world in the nineties. The VAZ 2110 became the successor of the 2108 hatchback and was supposed to be released into mass production in 1992. However, due to the economic crisis, this task was postponed for several years, as a result of which production of the VAZ 2110 was launched only in 1996. The time that manufacturers lost significantly affected the car, because most automakers have already managed to improve their products.

Despite this, among domestic cars it was a real breakthrough in creating a competitive vehicle. In terms of price-quality ratio, the VAZ 2110 fully met the requirements of buyers. The car now has a control panel and seats that can now be adjusted.

The disadvantages of the VAZ 2110 include at least the fact that, despite the ability to move the steering column for greater driver convenience, tall people will still feel uncomfortable in the VAZ 2110. In addition, despite the fairly smooth movement of the car on the roads, if necessary, parking it would not be superfluous power steering.

For its price, the VAZ 2110 is a very good car. If we add to this the presence of a galvanized body, inexpensive spare parts and the ability to undergo maintenance at any car service center, then the VAZ 2110 is considered a worthy representative of its class.

Which car to choose for 120,000 rubles: “seven”, “ten”, VAZ 2114 or Kalina?

Let's imagine a very common situation. You need a car, but you only have 100,000 rubles in your pocket, or a little more, or maybe less. Of course, you don't dream of old Japanese foreign cars.

You decided to follow the simplest path - choose something from the creations of the famous enterprise from Tolyatti. And oddly enough, there is plenty to choose from. Here you will find almost new “sevens”, which were taken off the production line only in 2012, roomy “tens”, the eternal Samara and the most modern of them all – Kalina.

We will not consider Priora, and especially Grant. For that kind of money, we will only come across outright junk, which, even by AvtoVAZ standards, does not make sense to restore. We will choose simpler cars, and start with the older generation.

VAZ 2107

Illustration Wikipedia

Advantages:

1. Almost new

. An amazing situation, because the “Seven” is the oldest model on our list, but it’s the only one you can buy for the money in almost perfect condition and with negligible mileage.

You often come across cars for sale from 2011 or 2012 that were bought by your grandfather, driven for several months or left the garage once a year, and now the car is waiting for a new owner in an incorruptible state.

2. Rear drive

. VAZ 2107 is the only representative of the “classics” in my rating, and accordingly, the only model with rear-wheel drive. Although, for fans of the front, this is not an advantage.

3. As simple and cheap as possible

. There's nothing even to describe here. Spare parts are cheaper than bread, and if it doesn’t start, then it’s time to hit the starter with a hammer.

Flaws

:
Illustration drom.ru
1. No security.

I think everyone has seen the crash test. The body is crushed like an accordion, and the steering wheel and engine fly into the cabin.

2. Constantly breaks

. Due to the poor quality of spare parts, the car often breaks down in little things, but this is a general problem with AvtoVAZ products, and not just the “Seven”.

3. There is nothing included

. No electric windows or power steering for you. You can, of course, try to stage whatever your heart desires, but this is for the fans.

VAZ 2110

Illustration Wikipedia

Advantages:

1. pretty

. This car may be called a pregnant antelope, but in my opinion, its design is still not outdated.

2. Comfort

. At least some. There are already buttons for power windows, the seat belt is height adjustable, and in the cabin you can sit five people and feel like a person.

3. Capacity

.
If you need a large station wagon for work, then for the money you won’t find a better VAZ 2111. The same “car” from Kalina is not so spacious. Illustration avtofactovic.ru
Disadvantages

:

1. Old

. If you buy a “ten” now, then it will definitely be more than 10 years old. And what surprises this car will present, one can only guess, because no one particularly spares them.

2. Capricious

. It is difficult to find a VAZ 2110 owner who would tinker with his iron horse less than once a week. And partly, this is due to age.

3. Rotten

. It rusts quickly, and since it was removed from the production line in 2009, it will be extremely difficult to find a copy without rust.

VAZ 2114

Illustration Wikipedia

Advantages

:

1. Most Reasonable Price

. Another interesting fact. With a similar configuration to the “ten”, the fourteenth costs the same, but it can be found younger. Let's say 2011 or 2013.

2. Patency

.
This is an ordinary hatchback or sedan, if we are talking about the VAZ 2115, but in the mud it drives very cheerfully and rarely gets stuck. Illustration drive2.com
Disadvantages:

1. Better without accidents

. I don’t know how this could have happened, but the VAZ 2114 showed an even worse result in the crash test than the original “nine”. And the “ten” has an order of magnitude stronger body.

2. Creaks and tightness.

If a lone violinist lives in the cabin of a VAZ 2110, then a whole orchestra lives in the fourteenth. And it’s very difficult for me to get out of it, with an average height and weight of 75 kg.

3. Electrics

. Very often something related to electricity “flies”: sensors, generator, starter, etc.

Lada Kalina

Advantages

:

1. Real comfort

. Here you already have power steering, and there are cars with air conditioning, but they are more expensive. Luxury models even had a light sensor and central locking.

2. Strong

. Compared to the “ten” or “Samara”, Kalina made a breakthrough in terms of passive safety. In addition to a stronger body, airbags should also be noted.

3. Reliable

.
It rarely breaks. My best friend drove a used Kalina for two years. During this time, he only changed the light bulbs in the headlights and once dismantled the door because the window regulator had failed. Illustration by kalina2.drom.ru
Disadvantages

:

1. Expensive

. For our money, it is unlikely that we will be able to find a decent copy. For a good Lada Kalina you will have to pay 170,000 - 200,000 rubles, and options for a hundred thousand or a little more will be hackneyed.

Bottom line

:
what to choose?
First, I would still try to find a still “live” Kalina, which is sold for little money. It's worth it. If the attempt had not been successful, I would have started looking for a VAZ 2112. I have always liked the “Twelfth” for its design.

Where is there more space in Priora or Kalina?

The dimensions of the cars vary significantly. The small viburnum is 30 cm shorter than its competitor, while the Priora is 8 cm shorter than its counterpart. The most convenient way to compare characteristics is using a table.

As you can see, the choice of a Kalina or Priora car in this case is based on the needs of the buyer. The maneuverable 21127 is convenient in cramped cities with heavy traffic, where parking is difficult. Model 2170 is suitable for people who require large capacity.

Differences in equipment and price (Lada Priora and Lada Kalina)

In terms of vehicle configurations, everything is also not clear.

First, it’s worth considering the Lada Kalina.

1. Standard. This package contains the equipment in the most minimal version. Here you can find electric front lifts, central locking with remote control and an on-board alarm.
2. Norm. The next version is complemented by an ABS system and climate control. There are also 14" stampings here.
3. The Lyus version is complemented by two airbags, heating and electric rear mirrors. Additionally, there are light alloy wheels, fog lights, and heated front seats. The main advantage is the presence of the ERA GLONASS terminal.

As you can see from the equipment, Kalina is a modest car, equipped with only the essentials.

1. Standard. The basic version of the car is already supplied to the market with a driver's airbag and a remote trunk key. There is also anti-theft, central locking and electric front doors. The engine is weak - 1.6l/90 hp.
2. Norm. The next version of Priora is distinguished by the presence of power steering, ABS and a 16-valve engine with 98 horsepower. Among other things, it features a velor interior and electric mirrors. In the “norm” version there are 7 divisions, which further complicates the choice.
3. Luxury The top version is presented on the market as a budget substitute for modern foreign cars. Inside you can find seat belt pre-tensioners and an indication of unlocked locks, parking sensors, rain sensors, climate control and more. A separate plus is the exterior mirrors with turn signal backups.
4. Comfort and Image. New versions released on the market after 2015. Thanks to the refinement of the interior, the car now has a multimedia system with a 7-inch display, two “pancakes” on the rear parcel shelf and 15” alloy wheels.

The starting prices for cars are as follows.

Comparison: Ergonomics and safety of Priora and Kalina

Regarding safety, the domestic automobile industry has always had serious problems. Actually, according to EuroNCAP, it’s impossible to choose which is better than Kalina or Priora - both cars failed the tests.

According to the standard rating table, 21127 scored 1 star, and the version after restyling 2.5 points out of 5 possible, which does not even reach “acceptable”. The “tuned” version of the ten or Priora received a mark of 3, a little better, but still far from ideal.

As for the build quality, the first generation Viburnum is significantly inferior to its competitor. Increased gaps, squeaks and cheap finishing materials do not cause delight. However, after restyling, everything changed dramatically. The dashboard has been transformed beyond recognition - the panels have been carefully fitted, creaks and the ubiquitous crickets have been practically eliminated. The fit of parts has also moved to a new level.

With Priora the situation is worse. In general, the VAZ 2170 is a redesigned version of the dozen, which negatively affects the interior decoration and design as a whole. Outdated panels, wide gaps, in some places the torpedo joints do not meet or are not combined correctly.

Bodywork and build quality

Car body panels differ in the quality of execution and assembly. Older versions of 21127 appear at service stations due to body defects 2 times less often than models 2170. The same goes for other components. Due to the large number of electronic systems on board, the Priora often breaks down, which causes dissatisfaction among users. Constant problems with electronics irritate buyers.
