Until what year was the VAZ 2114 produced: a brief history of the model

VAZ 2114 is a favorite car produced by the Lada concern, which is part of the Samara-2 family. The history of the VAZ 2114 began when the public saw the first models in 2001, then 50 test copies were produced. Full-scale production of the VAZ 2114 started in April 2003, and the last production of the VAZ 2114 was recorded on December 23, 2013.

The fourteenth model replaced the well-known VAZ 2109, called the “nine”, it lasted on the assembly line for seventeen long years from 1987 to 2004, but until 2011 it was assembled in Ukraine from kit cars. Little has been preserved from it in the form of the restyled VAZ 2114.

VAZ-2114

The five-door hatchback VAZ-2114 from the Lada Samara-2 family was a modernized version of the VAZ-2109 model. It differed from the previous model in design (the headlights, hood, bumpers had changed), an adjustable steering column, a different front panel, new instruments and a steering wheel. The rear part of the “fourteenth” model remained the same, the same as that of the “nine”. Initially, the designers planned to change the rear lights and increase the trunk opening - like the VAZ-2115 sedan, but such alterations were considered too costly.

Small-scale production of the hatchback at the AvtoVAZ pilot production began in 2001, and the model moved to the main conveyor in 2003.

Hatchback VAZ-2114 "Lada Samara-2", 2001–2013

At first, the VAZ-2114 was equipped with an injection 1.5-liter engine with a power of 77 hp. s., in 2007 it was replaced by a 1.6-liter engine developing 82 hp. With. At the same time, the interior of the car was slightly modernized. All versions were equipped with a five-speed manual transmission.

Since 2007, the Togliatti company has produced hatchbacks in small quantities, equipped with a sixteen-valve 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 89 or 98 horsepower. Also, these cars had modified suspension, gearbox and braking system.

Debut

The first time the new Lada white 2114 was shown back in 2001. More than 18 years have passed since then. Yes, it is based on 2109, but it is different in many ways. The front panel has become more prestigious and presentable, the steering wheel has become adjustable as in 2010. A more efficient interior heating system has been added. Yes, the exterior has become completely different. The hood is more sleek, the front optics have become completely arched, the radiator grille and other little details have become completely different, lending themselves to a different style and taste. The bumper was very nice and aggressive, which is a huge advantage. However, the designers sacrificed quality for the sake of beauty - it is made of plastic and collapses with every touch. The old part from the VAZ-2109 was much stronger, therefore better. We can say that this is just a matter of taste and preference, however, according to reviews from the owners, no one likes it.

What engines drive the VAZ-2114

"VAZ-2114" was produced from 2001 to 2013. Until 2007, it was equipped with a 1.5 77 hp engine. With. It easily lasted 200 thousand km, but was disappointing with noise, knocking and thermostat failure. In the 2007 models, a 1.6 engine with 81 hp appeared. With. It has more torque, but makes noise like a diesel engine.

Both versions work with a five-speed manual transmission. Sometimes there are cars with a 16-valve 1.6 engine with a capacity of 90 or 98 hp. With. It is one of the best from AvtoVAZ, especially for those who like to tune and modify the engine.

Design

All modifications of the engine installed on the VAZ 2114 have a block cast from cast iron and a fuel injection system. Despite the design solutions used to improve dynamic and environmental performance, the design of the VAZ 2114 engine has retained its simplicity and reasonable maintenance cost.

Operation and resource availability

An oil change should be done every 9-11 thousand km. Regardless of the modification, 3.2 liters will be required to change the oil. Recommended viscosity: 5W-30, 10W-40, 5W-40, 15W-40.

According to the manufacturer, the engine life is 150 thousand km. (200 thousand km for Priora motor). Practice has shown that with proper maintenance, the engine can cover up to 250 thousand km.

Failure to comply with maintenance standards and improper tuning of the VAZ 2114 engine significantly reduces its service life.

Features and Disadvantages

1.5l:

• after a timing belt breaks, the valves remain unharmed;
• Regular adjustment of valve clearances is required;
• wear of cooling system components;
• oil leaks from under the valve cover;
• oil leakage from under the ignition distributor and fuel pump;
• poor fastening of the exhaust manifold (solved by replacing steel nuts with brass ones);
• unreliability of early injection systems.

1.6l:

• A broken timing belt does not deform the valve;
• the need for periodic valve adjustment;
• increased noise and vibration load.

16V 1.6i l (124):

• Thanks to the holes on the pistons, even with moderate sports shafts, if the timing belt breaks, the valves do not bend;
• Every 15 thousand km you need to tighten the timing belt.

16V 1.6i l (126):

• a broken timing belt leads to bending of the valves (the problem can be solved by installing plug-free pistons.

Popular faults

Due to the imperfect quality of the unit and the large number of low-quality spare parts, the motor and attachments require increased attention.

Main problems and possible causes:

1. Unstable idling of the VAZ 2114, the engine stalls after starting. Cause – Coking of the idle speed controller (IAC), throttle position sensor, vacuum seal “drizzle”, unreliable signals from the mass air flow sensor;
2. Starting has deteriorated, the engine is running rough - the reason may be: incorrect valve adjustment, lack of compression in one of the cylinders (the valve may have burned out), wear of the valve springs, air leaks (check the connections of the hoses and pipes going after the mass air flow sensor and to the vacuum valve, valve hose purging of the absorber, tight fit of the injectors to the cylinder head), malfunction of the ignition module, spark plugs do not produce a spark, inoperability of high-voltage wires, incorrect valve timing (the timing belt may have slipped a few teeth);
3. The VAZ 2114 engine has lost throttle response and does not pull. The breakdown is possible due to a malfunction of the ignition module (symptoms appear when the engine is warm), a clogged catalyst, the fuel pump does not create the required pressure, a dirty air filter, air leaks, carbon deposits on the spark plugs, lack of compression;
4. Extraneous knocking, noise and vibration of the VAZ 2114 engine. Breakdown may occur because valve clearances need adjustment, sagging valve springs, sagging seats, wear of the main bearings of the crankshaft or connecting rod bearings (it is possible that the pistons themselves are knocking), hydraulic compensators, wear of the engine mounts (pillows);
5. Does not show the engine temperature of the VAZ 2114. Occurs due to a malfunction of the coolant temperature sensor (the sensor screwed into the cylinder head is responsible for the readings on the instrument panel), open circuit, oxidation of contacts, a malfunction in the indicator on the dashboard;
6. The engine is heating up. Thermostat failure (liquid circulates only in the engine cooling jacket). When buying a thermostat, look in the instructions for what engine operating temperature it is designed for (for the engines in question this is 95-103 degrees); Damage to the water pump impeller, malfunction of the fan switch sensor, or the fan itself does not work.

What is the salon equipped with?

The exterior of the VAZ is not for everyone. In order for the car to somehow correspond to the spirit of youth, the manufacturer gave the body sporty features: it rounded the hood, extended the headlights and moldings, and decorated the sill and bumper with body-color trims.

The interior is simple, but corresponds to the era of the early 2000s. The seats can hardly be called comfortable, so many people install an adapter or change the driver's seat. Although there is a Europanel, there is no glove compartment there. The only options available are power windows and an illuminated dashboard.

An unexpected bonus from AvtoVAZ is an adjustable steering column. It will allow you to raise and lower the steering wheel to the desired height to suit the height and build of the driver.

The trunk of the “fourteenth”, like the glove compartment of a jeep, is 330 liters. This will include a suitcase and a couple of bags from the supermarket. With the rear seats folded down, cargo space nearly doubles.

Pros and cons of the “four”

Owners about the peppy engine. Acceleration dynamics are 17 seconds/100 km, which is not bad at all for domestic cars. Fuel consumption is 7 liters per 100 km in city mode and 5 liters on the highway.

The ground clearance is not bad - 16.5 cm. The car is adapted to “killed” roads and goes well in the snow. The suspension is strong and rarely breaks. But when hitting a hill, the front suspension extension fasteners may be damaged. The reason is the fragility of the aluminum “crab”.

Fuel consumption

Hatchbacks of this model are known for their efficiency. They consume little fuel, both on the highway and in the city. We invite you to compare the gasoline consumption of the VAZ 2114 for modifications with different types of power plants.

Engine	Highway consumption l/100 km	Mixed mode, l/100 km	Urban cycle, l/100 km
1.5l, 8-valve	5,7	7,3	10,0
1.6l, 8-valve	6	7,5	10,3
1.6 l, 16 valve	5,4	7,2	9,8

What kind of breakdowns will a novice driver encounter?

The driver who bought the “fourteenth” as his first car receives a real simulator for real driving. But the car is Russian, something will always break down in it. Here is what the former owner of the VAZ-2114, Igor Bolshakov from Yekaterinburg, said about the breakdowns:

“I drove a three-year-old “fourteenth” for several years. I bought it in 2010 with a mileage of 58 thousand km. This was my first car, so I didn’t choose alone, but with knowledgeable people. They pointed out to me the rust in the front wheel arches. Therefore, immediately after the purchase, according to the advice, I carried out anti-corrosion treatment, and also changed the oil and installed a spacer.

There were no engine knocks at idle, but the gearbox hummed and the lever vibrated. In winter, antifreeze was quickly used up. I was also surprised by the considerable gas consumption (a tank lasts 250-300 km). There were minor breakdowns: the generator belt broke, the lights needed to be replaced and minor electrical repairs were required.

However, there were also advantages: the car started well in cold weather, there were no complaints about the suspension or engine, the high seating position was pleasing, and, most importantly, the car drove. Overall, there were no big disappointments: I knew what I was buying. But we still had to invest in repairs and maintenance.”

If a novice driver does not have repair skills and money to visit auto repair shops, a broken car may be laid up.

Golden mean

In those days they understood that people needed to be given their choice. So that they understand, it is better to choose a chic look, “show-off” or modesty and rational options and body features. It is worth noting that young people really like Soviet cars, because they can be easily learned to drive. They are difficult to operate, but this is how the VAZ-2114 taught millions of citizens of the Russian Federation to drive. And they learned to drive it precisely because it was the most affordable, best and most profitable among other domestic cars.

How much does a used VAZ-2114 cost?

Despite its modest equipment and unpresentable appearance, the VAZ-2114 is very popular in the secondary market. In 2022, it became the best-selling car in Russia, far ahead of the more advanced Focus, Corolla and Solaris.

Now almost 12 thousand copies are available on the secondary market at an average price of 142 thousand rubles. For the earliest ones they ask for an average of 60 thousand rubles. For 55 thousand, I found a copy with a mileage of 125 thousand km:

The “freshest” VAZs, from the 14th year of production, cost an average of 196 thousand rubles. For 175 thousand you can get a model with a mileage of 36 thousand km:

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:

Is accessibility a priority?

Compared to other cars that beginners choose as their first car, the VAZ-2114 does not look at all advantageous. A meager interior, an ugly body, and modest driving performance do little to please those who value aesthetics. Due to the lack of modern safety equipment, the risk of accidents and injuries is high. But the affordable price and inexpensive repairs play in favor of the “four”.

If a novice driver chooses this particular car, we advise you to buy a newer version so that you can drive for some time without looking under the hood.

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.

TUNING THE CHASSIS

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.

POWER UNIT 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.

OWNERS' 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.

About the car [ ]

Presented to the public in 2001, serial production - from April 2003 to December 2013.

The interior of the VAZ-2114, unlike the 2109, has a new instrument panel, an adjustable steering column, a steering wheel from the “tenth” family, a new heater design, and front power windows. The car was equipped with a 1.5-liter eight-valve engine (VAZ-2111) with distributed fuel injection. The first copy of the VAZ-2114 was assembled on the factory assembly line in October 2001.

Since 2007, the car has been equipped with a new 1.6-liter eight-valve engine (VAZ-11183) of Euro-3 environmental class, the model receives the VAZ-21144 index. Distinctive features from the old engine - the catalyst is located not under the bottom, but near the engine, a plastic decorative cover is put on the engine, instead of an aluminum receiver, a plastic one is installed. In addition to the new engine, the car receives a new dashboard, a new instrument panel with an on-board computer function.

In 2008, there were minor changes in style: instead of wide moldings, narrow ones began to be installed on the doors.

In 2009, a subsidiary of AvtoVAZ OJSC, Super-Avto CJSC, modernized the VAZ-2114, namely, it supplied the car with a 16-valve 1.6-liter engine; The car's power became 89 horsepower. With a 16-valve engine, the car model receives the index 211440-24. The dynamic characteristics of the car have increased. In addition to the engine, the suspension, gearbox, clutch and brakes were changed. This model is equipped with 14-inch wheels on stamped rims.

In 2010, Super-Avto CJSC prepared for production a car with a 16V 1.6-liter engine from the Lada Priora with a power of 98 hp. This model received the index 211440-26.

AvtoVAZ completed the production of cars of the Lada Samara family - on December 24, 2013, the last VAZ-2114 rolled off the assembly line.

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.

Last year of production of VAZ 2114

The answer to the question of what year they stopped producing the VAZ 2114 will be 2013 . In December, the last “fourteenth” rolled off the assembly line. The popular hatchback was discontinued to make way for the more modern Lada Granta and Lada Priora.

By the time production ended, the car was a budget, inexpensive model. Its cost was about 300,000 rubles. For this money, the car was equipped with the most minimal set of options. It practically did not have even the most basic safety and comfort features.

Predecessor

Yes, 2114 is a direct descendant of model 2109, but it had a completely different design and some features. It was precisely because of this that she was more popular than the “nine”. However, another important factor was practicality. After all, the white color of 2114 was very good, it didn’t get dirty that much. The parts took a long time to wear out and were cheap. In general, a great car for a long journey.

It is worth noting that more respectable, wealthy people paid attention to the 2114 model. Therefore, although it was not in fact a higher class, it was believed that only the rich rode it. And 2109, 2108 - for more ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation. Yes, and they were not as high quality as 2114. And it itself was much better: more space, better design, style, and so on. It is worth noting that the parts for 2109 were even a little more expensive than those for 2114. Therefore, this model was completely uncompetitive. Yes, even though cars are more functional now, no one has managed to outperform all these parameters and become better than the white VAZ-2114. Each will have expensive parts, a lot of wear on all components, very incompetent colors, and so on.

Differences between the 2013 and 2012 models

Those who remember the year the VAZ 2114 was produced will be interested to know how the 2013 car differed from the 2012 car. There were no significant differences between the latest cars. There was no restyling in 2013, only the last fourteen cars stopped installing spoilers. But towards the end of production, cars in luxury configurations and modernized “four” “Super Auto” models were more often rolled off the assembly line. They had the following differences from the standard version:

• Improved suspension;
• 16-valve engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 89-98 horsepower;
• Front electric windows;
• On-board computer;
• Modified heating and cooling system;
• Fog lights in the front bumper;
• 4 headrests on seats;
• Heated front seats;
• Audio preparation;
• Electronic gas pedal.

There were also some other minor features. But at the same time, the production of older modifications of the VAZ 2114 was not formally stopped. It is believed that they were all discontinued on the same day.

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.

Top 10 interesting facts about VAZ 2114

The Fourteenth became a landmark model for AvtoVAZ. Despite the obviously outdated design, the car had many positive aspects. It still attracts the attention of domestic motorists today. Therefore, it’s a good idea to remember not only in what year production of the VAZ 2114 ceased, but also what interesting features it had. Here are the top 10 facts about this car.

1. This car is a restyled version of the VAZ 2109. During the transformation, it received a more modern design and some technical innovations. Also, over time, the car began to be equipped with relatively powerful engines. There were other improvements as well. But at the same time, the VAZ 2114 remained a modified Soviet “nine”.
2. The “Four” was equipped with three types of engines of different power. The first engine had a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of only 77 horsepower. The second is 1.6 l and 82 hp. 16-valve 1.6-liter engines can produce 89 or 98 horsepower.
3. Throughout its history, the car was equipped only with a manual transmission with five gears. It was never equipped with an automatic, robot or CVT, despite the fact that there were Kalinas with automatic transmission.
4. The car did not have power steering in any modification. The Lada Kalina, which appeared in 2007, acquired this option. But the “fourteenth” never received it.
5. The car has never been equipped with air conditioning. Despite the fact that for some time it was produced in parallel with Kalina, which had an air conditioning system, the VAZ2114 never acquired it.
6. The car has a very weak body. The metal is thin, bends a lot and breaks in an accident, and is subject to active corrosion.
7. Acceleration to 100 km/h averages 13 seconds, with some nuances depending on the configuration.
8. The car was produced in three main versions: Standard, Lux and Super Auto.
9. The VAZ 2114 was not equipped with airbags, ABS and other similar systems, unlike, for example, Lada Kalina or Priora.

“Fourteenth” is still a favorite car among many Russians. It is often bought on the secondary market by both young people and mature car enthusiasts. The machine is incredibly simple, cheap to maintain, unpretentious, fast, maneuverable and relatively reliable.

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 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.
