Every car owner wants their car to be comfortable. Seats are the first point in guaranteeing comfort in the cabin. In modern foreign cars you can often find anatomical designs with heating, a large number of adjustments for the driver and passenger. Work is underway to improve designs on new domestic cars. But owners of old brands can only look for an alternative. Let's take a closer look at which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114.
Installation of seats from a foreign car on a VAZ 2114:
Heated seats
Heated seats are relevant for most Russian regions. Sitting on a frozen seat in winter is not always comfortable and safe for health. Many people neglect this option, believing that heating consumes a lot of energy.
In fact, the heating option uses the same amount of energy as the parking lights. The seat warms up quickly and then remains comfortable down to -30 °C outside the car. If you have a choice of options and you have not yet decided which seats can be installed on the VAZ 2114, it is better to install heated seats.

There is a saying: “When there are many diseases, there is only one problem – the spine.” Permanent curvature of the spine and pinched nerves lead to many chronic diseases. It is better to spend many hours driving in a comfortable seat. Unfortunately, the standard VAZ seats are designed for the average driver and cannot suit everyone. If you are planning to change the seats, which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114?
Seats for VAZ 2114
What are the seats suitable for without modifications?
Most car owners want to find seats that will fit in place, and replacing them will not take much time. But, based on the extensive information on the Internet on the topic “which seats are suitable for the VAZ 2114 without modifications,” we can conclude that in this case they install models from domestic cars: Seven, Ten, Priora, Kalina.
The AvtoVAZ plant is not always in a hurry to change the design of various elements. It's easier to do the same thing, changing the filling a little. Therefore, the sleds of these chairs are very similar and fit almost perfectly.
If we talk about suitable seats from a foreign car for the VAZ 2114, the information here is largely blurred. Many people install seats from: BMW E60, Hyundai i40 or Hyundai i30, Skoda Octavia A5, Audi A4. But before you go for disassembly, it is better to measure the length of the skid, perhaps they will be able to choose a more suitable option for your car.
But due to different body designs, problems arise that some fasteners will fit without difficulty, while others will have to be adjusted.
Types of seats
There are three types of seats:
- racing;
- sports;
- seats of increased comfort (anatomical).
Racing seats are designed to withstand high loads. The single frame is made of high quality materials. Typically, such models are much more expensive than sports and anatomical options.
Racing seats
The sports seats consist of a single rigid frame. They are adjustable, provide hip and shoulder support, and are comfortable for long rides. But due to their rigidity, such seats are not suitable for every driver.
Sports chair
Anatomical seats provide lateral support when turning, correct back position and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal diseases.
In most cases, there is no need to install racing seats on your car. And seats with increased comfort and sports options can be selected quite inexpensively if you know exactly which model you need.

General selection conditions
- Condition: new or used. New seats are more expensive, but they will last longer. Every year, thanks to modern technology, seats become more comfortable and have new functions. Used seats can be purchased at car dismantling yards.
- Manufacturing company. The 2114 fits both seats from other VAZ models and domestic brands, as well as seats from foreign cars.
- Additional options. Headrests, armrests, and lift make the seat more comfortable and safer.
- Completeness. Basically, the availability of fasteners and accessories needs to be clarified if used seats are purchased.

Dismantling
Before installing new chairs, you will have to get rid of the old ones. Accordingly, dismantling work cannot be avoided.
To work you will need:
- Flat-head, durable screwdriver;
- Set of heads;
- Collar;
- Ratchet.
The procedure itself looks like this:
- Pull the seat forward all the way.
- Remove the metal cables that allow the seats to move forward and backward more smoothly.
- Now move the seat as far back as possible.
- You will have access to the four nuts that hold the chair to the bracket. They need to be unscrewed.
- Raise the seat slightly to remove the two rear mountings to the skid. There are regular bolts there.
- Now carefully remove the seat from the car.
- Do a similar procedure with the second chair.
The installation of new seats depends entirely on the features of their design. There are no universal instructions for installation.
Remove and remove
Next comes the process of installing new chairs. Before doing this, be sure to clean the mounting points, the bottom of the cabin, and get rid of all existing traces of rust.
Do a fitting and determine whether the new seats require additional mounting holes. Try to choose kits that do not require complex installation work. Otherwise, you will create a bunch of unnecessary problems for yourself.
Today there are a lot of seat options on the market that are significantly superior in functionality and ergonomics to the standard seats from the VAZ 2114, but at the same time almost perfectly fit the existing mounting features.
What seats fit on the VAZ 2114 without modifications?
The most budget option for replacing seats is to choose VAZ models. On 2114 they install seats from nine, ten and other models.
The UNP company produces anatomical and sports seats for VAZ models. The seats are made of quality materials and are sold complete with mountings and accessories.

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

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

If the seats are adjustable, you need to check their condition at the place of purchase.
When considering the options for which foreign car the seats for the VAZ 2114 are suitable for, keep in mind that for a comfortable fit it is better for a fist to fit between your head and the ceiling of the cabin.
Before making the final choice of a seat, you can try it out and check for ergonomics by sitting in the cabin of the same car as the donor car.
We improve the interior with covers
If the design of the seats to some extent suits the owner of the VAZ 2114, then the main problem in the cabin is the presence of secondary factors:
- wear and tear of upholstery materials;
- all kinds of pollution;
- greasy spots.
Naturally, such an arrangement is unlikely to suit any owner of a VAZ 2114 car. The upholstery of domestically produced cars wears out very quickly - all this is the result of the use of low-quality materials.
If the upholstery in the car has not yet lost its original appearance and is in good condition, then it would be advisable to protect the seats with special covers.
In fact, this is one of the cheapest tuning options, which contributes to the following improvements:
- improving the appearance of the interior and giving it some individuality;
- comprehensive protection against abrasion and contamination;
- Some manufacturers offer products with special inserts that improve the comfort of the driver and passengers.
Car covers are inexpensive and easy to clean from all kinds of dirt. There are a large number of options on the market today, among which you can easily get lost. First, just decide whether to buy ready-made covers or have them made to order.
Ready-made solutions include covers with padding polyester inserts that provide back support. Such products, as a rule, have increased resistance to wear. Variations of available colors will allow you to choose covers to match other interior elements so that everything looks harmonious.

Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to remove seats on a VAZ 2114 or how to replace them?
Seat vaz 2114
The reasons for such manipulations can be very different:
- wear or serious damage to seats;
- the need to replace the floor covering;
- the need to glue the floors with soundproofing material;
- reupholstery of seats with new material (for example, leather);
- installation of alternative seats (both rear and front).
When choosing new seats to replace the basic ones, you should first of all pay attention not to their convenience and performance, but to the compatibility of their fastening with the fastening of the car.
In addition, various other situations may arise in which it may be necessary to dismantle and subsequently install the seats. We’ll look at how to do this as quickly and correctly as possible below.
Cover tension problem
Whatever material the cover is made of, it must be pulled over the rear and front passenger and driver's seats of the VAZ 2109. The fabric is easily stretched onto a convex surface, but you cannot stretch it onto a concave surface. Which seats are suitable for tensioning depends on their design.
The seats of the “nine” are quite significantly concave in the transverse direction, but, fortunately, slightly convex in the longitudinal direction. This allows you to attach the cover to the back and seat cushion of the Nine, although not too confidently. The problem of fixing the cover on the back is solved by two additional attachment points in the middle of its field.
Replacing rear passenger seats
In addition to replacing or repairing the front seats, quite often the question arises of how to remove the rear seat on a VAZ 2114. In most cases, such an operation becomes necessary when the car is often used to transport passengers in the rear seats, and the existing seats are for some reason reasons are not satisfied.
In this case, you can dismantle the base seats and install new ones in their place - more appropriate to the anatomical data of the passengers (currently, the choice of such seats, having a wide variety of shapes and sizes, is quite wide).
In addition, many car enthusiasts install rear seats from various foreign cars, most often from Ford or Audi - since they are much more comfortable than the “original” VAZ seats, and at the same time can be installed in the car with minimal changes to the design of the fasteners.
Replacing the rear seat of a VAZ 2114
In order to remove the seats themselves, you need to perform a number of simple operations:
- use a flat screwdriver or a strong blade to pry off the protective lining located just below the seat cushion;
- unscrew the two fastening bolts holding the pillow from the sides (a 10 mm socket is required);
- unscrew the bolts located at the bottom of the seats (with the same head);
- remove the vacated seats (they are no longer secured by anything).
New rear seat
Installation of new passenger seats in place is carried out (as in the case of the front seats) in exactly the same order, but in reverse order.
If, instead of the basic one, a seat from a different brand of car is installed, then there is a possibility that additional changes will need to be made to its design (nominally, additional mounting holes will be drilled, but in most situations these changes may be much more).
What is needed to install seats in Lada?
At car service stations, you could ask this question and receive a skeptical look from the mechanic in response. This is a rare task for workshops; not all bodywork specialists can perform this task. However, you can go in three ways to solve the problems that arise:
- Self-remodeling. To do this, you will need to find good seats for a specific foreign car on the classifieds website. Next, the fasteners are cut off from the original seats and welded onto the purchased seats. After that, all that remains is to install the update in the car interior.
- Search service station. Today there are many stations that are ready to do this job for you. In big cities there are even entire companies that install good seats in domestic cars. So it won't be too hard to find.
- Purchasing ready-made refurbished chairs. It is quite possible that on the same advertisement site you can find seats for the VAZ 2110 that are ready for installation. The specialists themselves will digest the mount after receiving your order and send you the finished product.
Which option to prefer, choose for yourself. But before installing such a seat, it is worth checking the quality of welding. If the base is welded poorly, it is worth correcting this defect. For example, a crooked mount will force you to constantly sit with a small rotation of the body. And too flimsy installation will cause poor security. For example, in the event of an accident, such a seat can break off its fastenings and cause irreparable damage to the driver and front passenger.
Alternative seating
As we can see from the above, the answer to the question - how to raise the rear seat of a VAZ 2114 - is quite simple, since it is attached using a minimum number of fixing elements and does not require the use of a large number of tools. But another, no less important issue is the choice of new, alternative seats.
Many motorists, as already mentioned, install on their VAZ 2114 seats from other models and even other brands of cars (for example, seats from Ford). At the same time, when choosing them, you should pay close attention to their dimensions and fastening features (although very often motorists look specifically at the “performance” characteristics - convenience, wear resistance, anatomy, etc.).
New front seats
The same rule applies to the front seats - the fewer modifications that need to be made during installation, the better. It should also be noted that when replacing the front seats, you should pay attention to the so-called “anatomical” seats (for example, manufactured by UNP).
They allow you to spend long periods of time driving and travel for many hours without feeling any fatigue or discomfort in your back and joints (such seats are especially recommended for frequent and long drives in urban environments).
Covers or seats?
For many, buying new car seats is associated with the desire to transform the appearance of the interior of their car. That is, they care little about the issue of comfort or they have only recently started driving. That’s why they don’t think about the issue of convenience.
If you have ever driven modern cars from top manufacturers, you have probably felt the difference between the seats. But you can’t buy such a car for yourself yet. So why not bring your fourteenth to this level of comfort by purchasing new seats? Good idea.
The covers only create the appearance of a beautiful, cozy interior. The landing was uncomfortable and will remain so.
Set your priorities and think about what is more important to you - a healthy back or a beautiful picture. In addition, by replacing the seats, you can put very beautiful covers on them.
First, let's look at the types of seats that you can purchase for your VAZ 2114. There are three categories in total, the advantages and disadvantages of which are described in more detail in our table.
