All about Lada Priora Hatchback (VAZ 2172): dimensions, weight and engine

Lada Priora hatchback (2172) is a cult car, the price for it was like an old foreign car, the Lada Priora hatchback greatly regrets the end of production. It fit perfectly into the budget segment of the domestic car market, and then became loved by many. Lada Priora was produced in four bodies: sedan, hatchback, station wagon and coupe. Of course, the sedan was the first to appear on the assembly line in 2007, and a year later, in February, the first sales of the Lada Priora hatchback began in Russia.

They were all good in their own way, and they all had almost the same shortcomings, but Russian car owners have long learned to deal with them. The Priora hatchback has become a real favorite of those who love this body and were looking for a dynamic, relatively reliable, budget city car.

Price of the minimum and maximum configuration of Lada Priora today

The price of the minimum configuration today is on average 320,000 rubles, and for the maximum – 420,000 rubles. Why is it worth paying an extra 100,000 rubles?

The Standard (minimum) and Image (maximum) configurations differ in many parameters. So, in the maximum there is:

• Immobilizer;
• Security alarm;
• Engine splash guard;
• Center armrest with storage;
• Front passenger airbag;
• Passenger sun visor;
• Special interior;
• Power steering (in Standard - EUR);
• Central locking with remote control;
• Heated front seats;
• Electric drive and heated exterior mirrors;
• Climate control;
• Multimedia system (in Standard - audio preparation);
• Light alloy wheels 15”, spare wheel 14” (standard – stamped wheel and spare wheel of thirteenth radius).

It’s worth paying for such an “addition” for the sake of your comfort and the comfort of your passengers, and the overpayment of 100,000 rubles is not in vain. When buying a Priora on the secondary market, you can hardly hope for the maximum configuration, because cars with the maximum configuration are bought “for themselves”; they are not resold after several years of use.

Characteristics (performance characteristics): Priora gearboxes

Priora is equipped with two gearboxes:

1. mechanical;
2. robotic.

The five-speed manual transmission is always stable. The owner’s task is to monitor it and give it proper care, without relying on the car to “fix itself.” The gear ratios are such that they make the car with six-valve engines reach “hundreds” in just 11 seconds.

The robotic automatic transmission also comes with five speeds. It is a slight modification of the old reliable Japanese Jatco box. According to AvtoVAZ, it is not inferior in acceleration to cars with manual transmission. Errors such as kicks during overclocking may occur. They can be removed by reprogramming the ECU. The clutch is a dry single-plate clutch with a diaphragm pressure spring inside. The clutch release drive is cable with automatic adjustment.

Technical modification data

It would be wrong to mention that the Priora hatchback is a good budget city car without backing these words up with facts. The car belongs to class B, it is front-wheel drive, the environmental class is Euro 4. The five-door hatchback has a curb weight of 1088 kg, and a maximum weight of 1578 kg.

The suspension in the hatchback was not strengthened compared to the sedan. The front is independent spring, the rear is semi-independent spring. The front brakes are ventilated discs and the rear brakes are drums. The pre-restyling version works only with a manual transmission, the restyled version – with a robotic automatic transmission. The main differences between restyling and pre-restyling are modified headlight optics and a slightly redesigned interior (steering wheel, dashboard, center console, multimedia).

Transmission

Initially, the hatchback came with a manual transmission. In fact, it was a strengthened version of the gearbox from the 110th Lada. Drivers immediately noted the poor quality of the mechanics, which became known for having very poor synchronizers. Often the handle simply “jumped” out of gear or the desired mode simply did not turn on.

The release lever began to knock just 3 months after purchase, and unclear shifts were observed immediately from the passenger compartment.

Subsequently, the restyled version of “2180” received updated mechanics, which worked much smoother. The sudden knocks disappeared and shifts became smooth. Afterwards, AvtoVAZ updated the gearbox and installed a robotic version, which received mixed reviews. However, it is very reliable and convenient; there are no reviews about its inoperability.

Engine

The car is equipped with a gasoline engine with a displacement of 1.4 or 1.6 liters. The octane number of gasoline is 95.

The pre-styling Priora was always equipped with the following engines:

• 1.6 liters with a power of 98 hp. Consumption in the city is 9.8 liters per 100 km. Acceleration time to 100 is 11.5 seconds. Maximum speed – 183 km/h. This “baby” produced 98 hp. at 5600 rpm;
• 1.6 liters with 81 hp Consumption in the city is 9.8 liters per 100 km. Acceleration time to 100 is 13.5 seconds. Maximum speed – 172 km/h. This “baby” produced 81 hp. at 5200 rpm;
• 1.6 liters with 87 hp Consumption in the city is 9.8 liters per 100 km. Acceleration time to 100 is 12.5 seconds. Maximum speed – 176 km/h. This “baby” produced 87 hp. at 5100 rpm.

Geometric dimensions

If the so-called overall dimensions of the body were presented above, now we will talk about geometric ones. Knowing these dimensions will not only allow you to form an opinion about the car or help you choose, but will also make it possible to carry out professional repairs.

Video on how to take geometric dimensions of a body

The set of distances between certain points of the body, called control points, is called geometry. They are initially installed by the manufacturer at the factory. It is clear that these points provide an ideal, precise position.

To check the compliance of the geometric dimensions of Lada cars, the owner must measure certain distances shown in the photo below.

It also wouldn't hurt to measure these dimensions.

For more detailed information on how to remove the geometric dimensions of the body with your own hands, see the video and photo. You can also read instructions about this in other publications on our site.

Forget about fines from cameras! An absolutely legal new product - Traffic Police Camera Jammer, hides your license plates from the cameras that are installed in all cities. More details at the link.

• Absolutely legal (Article 12.2);
• Hides from photo and video recording;
• Suitable for all cars;
• Works through the cigarette lighter connector;
• Does not cause interference to radios and cell phones.

Features of the modification

In addition to the fact that the “tail” of the car has become smaller, and due to this the handling has noticeably improved, the hatchback is also chosen by those who occasionally carry some kind of cargo: for example, putting mounts on the roof and transporting a bicycle. Priora is more stable on the road, so the risk of skidding when turning is noticeably reduced.

One recommendation - when choosing a car from the secondary market, look at the restyled version. The presence of daytime running lights is a plus, and the improved multimedia, steering wheel, instrument panel and seats will definitely captivate you. Remember that Priors have been equipped with an electronic gas pedal since 2011, and get ready for this.

Suspension characteristics

The Priora's chassis was designed for smooth driving over bumps and obstacles, as well as driving along a country road. Of course, the VAZ-2170 is not an SUV, but it can easily go through many places. The front part of the suspension is independent, and the rear part is semi-independent, which makes the car softer.

Many owners almost immediately replace the anti-roll bar arms along with the struts with a sports kit - so that the car does not wobble when making a sharp turn. Telescopic shock absorbers consistently dampen vibrations when passing obstacles, so there will be no problems with it. VAZ-2170 is a front-wheel drive car.

• Front suspension is MacPherson type with longitudinal braces.
• The rear suspension is also with trailing arms. It has a U-shaped transverse beam, to which a torsion-type anti-roll bar is attached.

As for the ground clearance, for the pre-restyling version it was 165 mm, and for the restyled version it was 170 mm. The wheelbase is 249.2 cm, the front track width is 141 cm, the rear track is 138 cm. The suspension can be lowered or raised if desired - ready-made kits for modernization are available for open sale.

Fabric for car ceiling upholstery

Before you start, you need to buy the right fabric. The selection of upholstery depends on the owner’s preferences and taste. Each material has its own characteristics, the ability to react differently to temperature changes. There are different types of fabric sold in the market. Let's get acquainted with the main ones.

Velours

The interiors of mid-priced cars are upholstered in velor. The peculiarity of the material is its soft texture and unique appearance.

Note! When choosing velor, you need to focus on products from well-known manufacturers. Inexpensive models, even if reupholstering rules are followed, will last a maximum of two to three seasons.

The disadvantage of velor fabric is its instability to mechanical stress. It is easily scratched and torn by accidental contact with blunt objects. But this is compensated by the ease of maintenance - you don’t need to buy expensive chemicals to clean the surface from dust and dirt.

When you need to update your ceiling on a limited budget, pay attention to flock. It is rarely used when updating the interior in a garage. The reason is the complexity of surface treatment technology. Standard adhesive for reupholstery is not enough, since the upholstery will come off when you first clean the surface. To increase strength, the flocking technique is used. It consists of:

• degreasing;
• spraying the primer composition;
• thorough impregnation of the material to increase its strength.

Types of correctors

Car owners often wonder what a headlight range control is and whether they can install it themselves. Depending on the device, there are several types of systems:

• electromechanical;
• hydromechanical;
• mechanical;
• automatic.

Automatic technology is the most expensive and effective. Such a system reads the body position data and independently adjusts the light beam. Other types are controlled manually using a washer or wheel located in the cabin.

Electromechanical

The electric headlight corrector allows you to adjust the angle of light from the interior. The driver independently selects the position of the washer depending on the load on the car.

The system does not have additional sensors on the vehicle's levers, so if the angle is chosen incorrectly, the light may be adjusted incorrectly. In this case, the low beam lamps will dazzle another vehicle when driving in the dark.

In the electric corrector, the motors change the position of the rod depending on the selected key indication in the cabin.

Components:

• electrical control element;
• tilt angle regulator;
• motors.

Hydromechanical

Hydrocorrector headlights are rare nowadays. A handle is installed in the cabin, which is directly connected to lines filled with liquid. When the lever is turned, pressure appears and is transmitted to the hydraulic pistons. Next, the force is transmitted to the rod, and parts of the reflector body are set in motion.

The system is fully controlled by the driver from inside the cabin. In winter, the liquid freezes and becomes noticeably thicker. It takes more effort to control the rod that affects the angle of the light.

The lines are constantly under pressure and eventually fail. The channels begin to leak, and the system does not gain the required traction when turning the knob.

If you choose the wrong angle, you may be exposed to light and dazzle other road users.

Mechanical

A mechanical corrector with cables that move the rod to adjust the angle of the reflector in the headlight was installed only on older cars. The system turned out to be unreliable and often failed after water got into the cable jacket. This effect leads to souring of the device.

A manual mechanical corrector should be used at least 2-3 times a month and the system should be periodically lubricated with oil. In winter, the system often soured and did not allow adjusting the headlight beam angle. Full lubrication of the cables helped restore functionality.

The corrector consists of the following components:

• power cables;
• control handle;
• gearbox with rod.

Currently, this type of corrector, which requires constant attention, is not used due to the expensive maintenance of the system.

Auto

Auto-corrector of headlights is most accurate in selecting the angle of light. The option is installed only in cars with xenon lamps and provides the best visibility at night.

There are no additional adjustment keys installed in the cabin; the system does everything independently in automatic mode.

The service life of the option is 10-15 years depending on operating conditions. Only the headlight range control sensor, which is installed on the car's arm and transmits a signal to the unit, may require repair.

Also among the components that require special attention is the chassis position linkage. Load control parts are installed from 1 to 3 depending on the complexity of the chassis. Over time, the moving balls sour and break off under load. To prevent breakdowns, it is necessary to lubricate the ball joints with copper grease every 40-50 thousand kilometers. This is not regulated in the vehicle operating literature, but it will help preserve the corrector components and avoid unpleasant incidents.

Operational deficiencies

Like most domestic cars, Priora has a rather weak paint coating, as a result of which the body of used cars is covered with chips and scratches. However, the problem with the low quality of metal and the level of anti-corrosion treatment is much more acute. As a result, the car quickly begins to become covered with rust, showing hot spots in various places. The most susceptible to corrosion are wheel arches, doors, sills and hood.

Engine

Both gasoline engines have proven themselves well during operation and are unpretentious in maintenance. The biggest problems are caused by electronic sensors, which cannot serve as a standard for durability. Quite often the throttle valve and the gasket between the head and the cylinder block fail due to the low quality of gasoline. When it gets dirty, the car stalls and loses traction. During operation of the machine, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to the operation of the cooling system. Quite quickly, especially in the summer, the thermostat can fail, which can lead to overheating of the engine with all the ensuing consequences. Car enthusiasts will not be pleased with the long service life of the ignition coil and fuel pump. The car has a timing belt drive and, according to the manufacturer, its service life is 200 thousand kilometers. However, do not forget that as a result of a broken belt, the valve bends and you have to do a major overhaul of the engine. Therefore, owners of LADA Priora 2008 recommend changing it along with the rollers and pump at least every 100 thousand km.

Transmission

Despite the fact that the car is equipped with no alternative to a manual transmission, this gearbox cannot serve as a standard of reliability. The main disadvantage is weak synchronizers, which, however, is typical for manual transmissions installed on all AvtoVAZ models. The main sign of their failure is a characteristic crunch, which is clearly audible when changing gears. Priora received enhanced clutch from, but the problem of the limited service life of the release bearing was never solved. The service life of the transmission can be extended by using high-quality oil and regularly changing the fluid in the box, which must be done at least once every 75 thousand kilometers.

Chassis and steering

Surely many car enthusiasts are familiar with the problems of domestic cars associated with the short service life of the suspension. However, LADA Priora in this component can compete on equal terms with most budget foreign cars presented on the secondary market. Stabilizer bushings fail most quickly. As a rule, this happens already at 10–20 thousand km. mileage Following them, the stabilizer struts will have to be changed. Steering tips and wheel bearings will last about 40 - 50 thousand km. Replacement of ball joints and support bearings will be required after a mileage of 60 - 70 thousand km. Shock absorbers, CV joints and silent blocks of front levers can last 100 - 120 thousand kilometers. The original brake pads may not survive the first 10 thousand km, so the driver will have to quickly replace them with better analogues.

Poor quality operation of the electric power steering can cause certain troubles. The main signals of such a malfunction are jerking and heaviness when turning the steering wheel. The problem can be resolved by cleaning the electrical wiring contacts of the unit.

Other faults

Both the quality of the materials used for interior decoration and the level of assembly itself deserve great criticism, as a result of which car enthusiasts will have to put up with numerous extraneous sounds throughout the entire period of operation. Moreover, every year there will be more and more of them. Additional installed sound insulation and pasting of elements with vibration-absorbing materials do not help get rid of them either. The driver will constantly have to deal with malfunctions of electrical equipment, which occur mainly due to oxidation of contacts.
