The hatchback VAZ - 2172 Lada Priora has been produced since 2007 and is a worthy successor to the line, which was initiated by the legendary "nine" - VAZ-2109. Lada Priora 2172 actually replaced the VAZ-2112. This copy rolled off the assembly line in 2008 and over the period of operation has accumulated 30 thousand km. There were no special complaints about the car during this time, but first things first. So, as always, let's start with the appearance, because they are greeted by clothes. In front, it is an ordinary Lada Priora, the same as a sedan or a station wagon, but in profile the hatchback looks prettier than its counterparts. Perhaps the side view is the most advantageous for this car, it looks dynamic and harmonious. In front, the impression is slightly spoiled by excessively large headlights, and there are practically no complaints about the stern. But, as they say, the taste and color ... If we talk about the rear of the car, then it should be said that the rear door opens a fairly large opening in the luggage compartment, there are no problems with loading and unloading. The hatchback's trunk volume is 400 liters, with the rear seat folded down, it almost triples. It is worth noting that the folding mechanism remains "ten", it is not very comfortable and the seat folds only entirely. You can open the trunk not only with a key, but also with a lever from the passenger compartment. Let's move on to the interior. Here are all the same "nine-tenth" seats. Personally, they do not seem very comfortable to me - the knees are high, I have to sit reclining, my back gets tired during long trips. After that, the high seating position of the driver on the Chevrolet Aveo is perceived much better. Thanks to the ability to adjust the steering wheel, the driver of any height will be able to get comfortable behind the wheel. But, with my height of 186 cm, it is already problematic for me to sit behind "behind me". True, in this class it is difficult to find a car with a "limousine" saloon;) If access to the front seats is good, then not only the backrests of the front seats, but also the doorway itself, interfere with accommodating in the back, but this probably already refers to "nit-picking"; ) I will not dwell on the beauty of the cabin, because everyone has their own opinion and everything can be seen in the photo, I can only say that the salon did not impress me, everything was done somehow "clumsy", the plastic is loud, and the "silver" of the center console in general "No comments". I'd rather share my impressions of the functionality. Doors open and close with a characteristic VAZ sound. Handles for opening doors inside and outside are comfortable. The car is equipped with front electric windows, control buttons are located on the doors, which, of course, is convenient and understandable. If we talk about glass lifters, then it is worth noting one caveat - the glass does not go down to the end. On the "dozens" it was so with the glass in the rear doors, but here the front windows do not go down to the end. In addition, on the driver's door there are buttons for controlling the electric drive of the mirrors (also very convenient) and locking the doors. It is worth noting that the mirrors are heated, as is the rear window. The dashboard is comfortable and informative (I liked it), there is an on-board computer with control on the steering column lever. Apparently, due to this, the light control unit is placed on the panel under left hand , does not cause inconvenience, but you need to get used to it. As for the paddle shifters, they did not present any inconvenience to me. The plastic of the panel is also not the most pleasant, although not as loud as on the "nine". The "silvered" center console is especially depressing. There are no complaints about ergonomics - the control of the "stove" is convenient, the air duct deflectors are in place, but the view is not impressive. The watch looks good, but it's not clear why they made a cover on the niche under the radio tape recorder. Apparently for unnecessary noise, because with this cover closed, even a CD-ROM does not fit in there. The glovebox is quite roomy, in addition, there is a "eyeglass case" on the ceiling and niches in the doors, although not very roomy. As for the plastic, although it is not as loud as on previous models, it causes problems, not only with a creak. Some plastic elements of the interior simply fall off over time due to broken fasteners. The steering wheel does not look very good, but it is generally unpleasant to the touch (the exit is a cover), it is equipped with a hydraulic booster, it is adjustable only in height (tilt angle). Driving is easy enough, but at the same time, "thanks to" the power steering, the steering wheel is not very informative, so you need to jump to the car so as not to "cheat", especially on the highway. The Lada Priora hatchback is equipped with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder 16-valve engine that produces 98 liters. With. and a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine behaves rather sluggishly at low revs, but if you spin it up to 3000 rpm, the car becomes faster. Of course, I'm not a racer, but the power of the car is quite enough for me, in any case, the truck can be overtaken without problems. At the same time, the engine is quite economical - on the highway, the consumption is about 6 liters per 100 km. (sometimes 5.5). In the city, about 10-11 liters per hundred, of course, it all depends on the specific conditions and driving style. Sometimes there are problems with the inclusion of the first gear, you need to do a "reset". The same problem was encountered on previous models of VAZ cars. As for the chassis, it repeats that of the cars of the "tenth" family and does not present any particular problems. Everything is already familiar from previous models, simple and inexpensive to maintain. I think that the suspension is well suited for our roads, or rather for their absence. As for the cost of spare parts, there are special breakdowns for 30 thousand km. was not observed. Recently, the timing belt tensioner jammed, I had to change the belt and roller. All other costs related only to periodic maintenance. Of the inconveniences, it is worth noting the squeak of the brake pads, the noise in the cabin, the insufficient rigidity of the "floor" of the trunk covering the spare wheel. Should you buy a Lada Priora hatchback? In my opinion, the answer is not so straightforward. The new Lada Priora VAZ - 2172 in Ukraine starts from UAH 82 thousand, it is much cheaper to buy its older brothers and even Lada Grant. A used VAZ-2112 with almost the same characteristics is cheaper. And for similar money, you can buy ZAZ Vida (Aveo) or Lanos. The choice is yours.
In 2007. the “LADA-110” was replaced by the new “Lada Priora” family, which is still being produced. At first, AvtoVAZ produced about 1,000 VAZ-2170 sedans, but already in February 2008. began to produce a model with a "hatchback" body shape VAZ-2172. Then, in October 2008. in Krasnodar for the first time they showed the Priora model with a station wagon VAZ-2171. By the beginning of 2009. the Priora family finally pushed the production of “LADA-110” off the assembly line. By May 2012, there are about 650,000 cars produced. In addition, AvtoVAZ took up the development of a convertible on the basis of limited-edition coupe modifications.
Thanks to the design and internal equipment that meet European standards, the car initially began to claim the role of modernity.
The basic equipment of "Priora" steel: electric power steering, electric mirrors, airbag, four-cylinder gasoline engines with a connecting rod-piston group, volume 1.6 with 8-valve and 16-valve heads, alarm with remote control, improved suspension. More modern optics and a spoiler built into the rear boot have significantly rejuvenated the car.
According to the results of the crash test according to the EuroNSCAP method, the Prior scored 23.56 points and received a score of “4”. According to environmental standards, the car complies with Euro-3 and Euro-4 standards.
The unique interior of the car was developed with the participation of the Italian studio "Carcerano", thereby significantly increasing the level of equipment, safety and comfort of the Priora.
One of the essential accessories for a car is a radar detector, which can be purchased at an affordable price on this website - http://www.auto-target.ru/catalog/silverstone.html.

The article tells about the best-selling passenger car in Russia - the Lada Priora car. Where did the Priora come from, how it differs from its derivative ("tens"), what characteristics it possesses and how it is planned (and whether it is planned) to modify and improve the Priora further - all this can be found in the presented article.
Lada Priora is a Russian-made front-wheel drive vehicle, the best-selling model of the LADA family, produced by AvtoVAZ since 2007. According to the European classification, it belongs to the class "C".
VAZ Priora is a modernized car of the 10th family of AvtoVAZ. The first batch of sedans was released in March 2007, and mass production began in April of the same year. Other body types appeared in Priora the following year: a hatchback - in February, a station wagon - in October 2008 (serial production began in May 2009). At about the same time, Priora completely pushed the Lada 110 family off the assembly line.
There is a lot of controversy as to what Priora is: a slightly modernized "dozen" or a full-fledged new car. The history of VAZ Priora begins back in 2003, when an American auditing company, hired to calculate the possible development paths of the plant, offered to restart the "tenth" family, designed back in the 1980s. Restarting means gradually, unit by unit, without stopping the conveyor, to replace practically everything that can be replaced in the car taken as a basis. The work is difficult and not for one year: in order to represent the volumes, I will say that there are more than three thousand parts in the "ten", of which a little less than one and a half thousand have been replaced in Priora. Almost half of the car is made differently - but is it different?
Simultaneously with the "insides" and the external appearance of the car changed. The exterior is the work of the Russian designer Sergei Taranov, the interior is the fruit of the efforts of the designers of the Italian company Carcerano. And I must admit that such a Russian-Italian synthesis looks quite modern and stylish, and therefore invariably attracts the attention of potential buyers.
Specifications
VAZ Priora carries a modernized engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters (with eight- and sixteen-valve cylinder heads), nearly a hundred "horses". The connecting rod-piston group has been lightened to the limit, which made it possible to reduce power losses by about 9 hp. With all this, the engine complies with Euro-3 standards in the standard version, Euro-4 - in the "export" version, and now the process of bringing the characteristics of the motor into compliance with Euro-5 standards has been launched. But the announced increase in the working volume of the engine to 1.8 liters did not happen and is not even planned.
The gearbox is mechanical, with a problematic gear shifting inherited from the "dozen" during acceleration. The gearless electric power steering is beyond praise: in traffic jams, the steering wheel rotates with just one finger, at speed the help of the amplifier comes to naught. The gearbox drive mechanism with closed-type bearings and reinforced clutch, as well as updated front suspension struts with barrel springs and rear suspension shock absorbers distinguish Priora from the "dozens".
A big and undoubted plus is that with the release of the Priora, the driver's airbags finally appeared in the basic configuration of AvtoVAZ models, and a passenger airbag in the additional one.
Additional available bonuses include heated front seats, air conditioning with climate control and a light and rain sensor - a trifle, but nice.
Unfortunately, the Priora's reliability and build quality leave much to be desired. A poll conducted by Levada Center, the analytical center of Yuri Levada, clearly shows that Lada (Priora and Kalina) break down on average twice as often as foreign cars of the same price category. During the warranty period, 10% of Lada cars have problems with the suspension (versus 3 - 6% for inexpensive foreign cars), 5% have problems with the checkpoint. After the expiration of the warranty period, 10% of Lada cars break down with the electric power steering and some other problems with the engine appear, 20% have problems with the suspension. And if we take into account the fact that Lada Priora breaks down on average more often than Lada Kalina, the picture becomes completely bleak.
VAZ Priora car in the photo:
"Order_by =" sortorder "order_direction =" ASC "returns =" included "maximum_entity_count =" 500 ″] The build quality remains typical AvtoVAZ - that is, terrible. The vaunted rear and windshield seals do not cope with their task, the glove compartment opens and closes solely at its own request, and not at the request of the car owner. Cheap and strong-smelling plastic has been poisoning the happiness of owning a completely new car for a long time - this smell does not disappear from the passenger compartment for several months after the purchase.
Modifications
There are three modifications of the Priora in serial production: a sedan (VAZ-2170), a hatchback (VAZ-2172) and a station wagon (VAZ-2171). VAZ-2172 Coupe (three-door hatchback) and VAZ-21708 Priora Premier (extended version of the sedan) are also being produced in small series.
Lada Priora hatchback (VAZ 2172) is a domestic Lada Priora hatchback car. This body type is in no less demand than sedans. Specifications lada priora hatchback practically do not differ in their performance from the characteristics of their fellow sedan. Below is a table with the technical characteristics of the VAZ 2172.
Technical characteristics of Lada Priora hatchback differ only in body type and interior trim. The Priora hatchback has a larger trunk, especially if the rear seat is folded out. By the type and characteristics of the engines, the cars do not differ. The Priora hatchback is equipped with only one engine - a 16-valve 1.6 liter, which produces 98 hp. power. This is a very good indicator for a car weighing a little over 1.5 tons.

We continue to review new Lada Priora hatchback, a car that has recently undergone a modernization. We offer you a photo, video of the car. As well as technical description hatchback Lada Priora or VAZ-2172, and of course the current prices and configurations.
If the first Priora sedans appeared back in 2007, then Lada Priora hatchback only in 2008. The car has a more dynamic appearance in addition, the folding rear seats and the wide opening of the fifth door make loading more convenient. In the near future, the model can be replaced by the new Lada Vesta 2015, which will also be produced in a hatchback body.
I would like to remind you that apart from the usual hatchback, today Avtovaz also produces a three-door version. coupe Priora... The Coupe is essentially the same hatchback with only three doors instead of five. Today this version is sold in three trim levels “standard”, “norm” and “sport”. Photo Lada Priora coupe just below.
The first small restyling of the five-door hatch took place back in 2011, a larger-scale modernization of the Lada Priora took place in 2013. Under the hood of the car, a new 16-valve 106 hp engine with dynamic supercharging appeared. The box was also slightly modernized, now there is a cable drive. Improved noise insulation, which is a traditional problem on any VAZ model. Interestingly, the more affordable configurations of the Priors are equipped with a power steering, and the “luxury” configurations are equipped with an electric power steering.
Externally new Lada Priora hatchback restyling can be recognized by the new grille, modified bumpers, LEDs in the rear brake lights, daytime running lights in the headlights. The modernization of the interior was deeper, now instead of cheap plastic, soft-bow material is used. There was a multimedia system with a large screen in the center console. Photo of the exterior Lada Priora hatch, just below. We also look at the photos of the updated Salon Priora... By the way, the seats in the restyled version have become more comfortable, with improved lateral support. In addition to the possibility of installing front airbags, now there are side airbags on the Lada Priora, not to mention the cruise control and the stability control system.

The four-spoke steering wheel has been replaced with a steering wheel of a different shape, and the buttons and switches are now nice to touch.
