The car "Priora" (sedan): description, photo

Vases – perhaps the most popular car manufacturer in Russia. The cars of this brand can be found on almost every street. Was no exception and «Lada Priora" sedan. This car replaced the “ten” and was produced in the period from 2007 to 2016. During this time the car has undergone several upgrades. What is a "prior" (sedan)? Photos, specifications and operating experience – further in our article.

Appearance

Few people know, but the first prototype of the "priors" was presented to the public in 2003. It was then that "AVTOVAZ" has presented new sedan with an index 2170. Since that time, the appearance of the machine almost not changed, except for the lack of black modelingof. So, since 2007, the car was produced in the following form (see photo below).

The design of the machine was a little fresher “dozens”. But to call exterior modern expressive or not. Reviews say that the machine is not allocated from the General stream. The exterior is bordered by the cars of the mid-nineties. So, in front of "AVTOVAZ" used rounded halogen optics and a simple bumper with the small foglights. In contrast to the “tens” “prior" (sedan) received a different design of the fenders and rear roof pillars. With this car not seem so angular and "clumsy". By the way, "Prior" there are no such runs in the gaps, as the VAZ-2110. Changed the design of the side mirrors. Now they are painted in the body color and go with led repeaters bends. The manufacturer knew that the appearance of the machine is not modern. So in 2011 the car has undergone cosmetic changes.

The problem with the body

Every motorist knows how poorly protected from corrosion “ten”. She literally rotted in her eyes. After two years on the paintwork behind the mushrooms and beetles. "prior" is just a modified version of the VAZ-2110. But eliminated it this disease? As the experience of operating the machine are also subject to corrosion (though not to the same extent as “ten”). What color would "prior" (sedan) was, after three years the enamel is formed swelling. Particularly subject to the wheel arches and sills. Another problem faced by the owners of the "priors" is water in the trunk. According to the manufacturer, this disease can be cured by removing the factory plugs to drain condensation.

Clearance and dimensions "priors" (sedan)

Judging by the dimensions, the car is bounded between C - and b-class. So, the length of the body is of 4.35 meters, width – of 1.68, height – of 1.42 meters. Clearance – one of the main advantages of "priors". Thus, the value of clearance on a standard 14-inch wheels is 16 inches. In addition, the machine has high and exit angles of arrival. If you do not change the suspension configuration (to make an understatement), this car is safe to move on the road out of asphalt surfaces. Clearance perfectly adapted for our road conditions.

Interior

The interior Design is also hardly modern. Architecture front like the old "Ford Mondeo”. Center console – silver in color, with a mechanical “krutilki” the stove and analog clock. There is also a plug under the radio that from the factory here is not installed. Chetyrehspitsevy steering wheel with airbag. The instrument panel contains a minimal set of scales and indicators. By the way, there's a digital odometer. Lights in the night green, not blinding. The visibility of the car «Lada Priora” (sedan) at a decent level – stands do not form dead spots, mirrors quite informative. By the way, the mirror is not used the blue coating, as “dozens”, which is impeding visibility.

The architecture of the seats, reminiscent of “ten”. Here still lacks the normal lateral support. Door cards changed in appearance and appeared a niche for small things.

Most complaints caused by the build quality of the cabin. In "Prior" as the rest of the Vases, there is practically no insulation and applied very hard, squeaky plastic. The noise of the motor and arches came after 30 kilometers per hour. To resolve this problem, the owners produce extra sound insulation. And “soundproofing” doing everywhere: on the roof, floor, doors and even the trunk. As shows operating experience, additional sizing can significantly reduce the noise inside the car.

Note that the Deluxe in picking a car "prior" (sedan) is equipped with air conditioning, electric drive of mirrors and Windows. But as the experience of exploitation, these mechanisms can fail. To normal the a / C worked, should be every two to three years to check the system for leaks and refuelfreon. Also refuse to run Windows. There are several reasons. It burned the electric motor, lack of lubrication on the rail lowering mechanism of the glass or oxidized contacts on the unit. Often a bad power window starts working for a second reason. The workaround is simple – disassembly of the door card and greasing the rails on the rail.

The Trunk

In the car "prior" (sedan) the trunk is quite roomy. Its volume is 430 liters.

However, to expand it when needed is impossible. Of the facilities - only a hatch for skis. The rear backrest of the sofa does not fold and are not regulated. Under the floor in the trunk "priors" (sedan) is a full-size spare tire.

Specifications

The engine Range «Lada Priora” consists of several inline-four-cylinder units. All of them are diesel and have fuel injection. Some mistakenly think that motor "priors" is identical to ice with “doneski”. But it's not. They look similar, but the piston and they are different.

The Base for the car "prior" a sedan is a 1.6-liter fuel-injected engine with 16-valve head. This engine has an output of 98 horsepower. Torque agerate – 145 Nm of torque at four thousand rpm. This motor is completed with uncontested five-speed mechanics and propels the car to a hundred in 11.7 seconds. Top speed is 183 kilometers per hour.

In the luxury trim levels available engine 106 horsepower. Remarkably, its working volume is the same 1.6-liter. Head – 16-valve with timing belt. The engine propels the car to a hundred in 11 seconds. The maximum speed does not exceed 185 kilometers per hour. But for many of these characteristics a little. The owners make the chip-tuning, set the stinger, a new spider and straight through muffler. "prior" (sedan) after these modifications it becomes a little more powerful. But with the right tuning, this figure does not exceed ten percent. Therefore, work on the VAZ engine can only avid fans.

Expense

According to the reviews, "prior" (sedan) is a very economical car. 100 kilometers car consumes from seven to seven and a half liters of 95-octane in mixed mode.

If set here gas equipment (a propane tank is placed in the normal niche of spare wheel), consumption will be up to nine litres in the combined cycle.

Note

In 2016, "AVTOVAZ" has released the latest series of "priors". And with the aim to reduce the cost of production at the plant decided to replace the 98-strong motor on the old 8-valve engine, developing 87 horsepower. This "prior" did not Shine a good acceleration dynamics. Hundred she gained over 12 and a half seconds. And a top speed limited to 176 kilometers per hour. The only plus – low fuel consumption. In the combined cycle 87-strong “prior" (sedan) consumes seven and a half liters of gasoline.

Problems on the motor

In General, all three engines are very reliable and do not cause serious problems. But experience has shown that the engines can lose power and unstable work. The reason for that are the different sensors:

• Throttle Position.
• Idle.
• Crankshaft Position (there is motor can not start).
• The Lambda probe.

The latter needs to tell apart. This is the oxygen sensor, which measures the balance of O₂ in the exhaust and depending on concentration give the ECU instructions on how to prepare a combustible mixture. If the lambda sensor fails, the electronic unit will generate the wrong mix. It causes loss of power, motor starts troit, there are jerks in the motion.

In extreme cold, engines "priors" unable to squeeze the plugs in the camshaft, causing the motor starts “sweat”. There are also complaints about the cooling system. Yes, "prior" do not boil or break, as “nine”. But echoes of the past here. And they relate to the thermostat. He starts to go crazy, because of what the motor is bad or not warm enough. The owners say that the effective solution is to install a thermostat from "Grants". He gets up on the engine "priors" with minimal alterations.

Drivetrain

As transmission both engines use a five-speed mechanics. As practice shows, this transmission is not different high reliability. Its major drawback – synchronizers. When they wear the transmission start to engage with the characteristic crunch. Also the operation starts to act up the clutch release bearing. It is better to change along with the clutch disc. Typically, this damage catches up with the owners on a run of 60 thousand kilometers.

Another issue – it is a characteristic noise box that appears after 30 thousand miles. The problem is present not only on "Prior", but «Kalina», and also “top ten”.

Suspension

Pendanton "Prior" is very simple. There are a lot of parts went with “dozens”. Front - McPherson, rear – beam. Among the problems in the operation of the reviews have noted corrosion of the bolted connections of the rear telescopic shock absorbers. They fail after 50 thousand kilometers, and by this time the bolts have time to sour. Also often break on "Prior" bushing stabilizer bar that is installed in front of the car. They go no more than 20 thousand kilometers. It isn't often replace them, owners are advised to purchase reinforced polyurethane bushings. Wheel bearings last up to 50 thousand, and tie rods. Ball joints and bearings front struts go up to 70 thousand. The most durable element in the front suspension is the CV joint. If you follow the boot time and change it if damaged, the joint may pass more than two hundred thousand.

The Rear suspension is simple, and it is no problem. The shock absorbers on the "Lada Priore" wear out to 60 thousand, but they change very quickly compared to the front struts (because they are located separately from the springs). Vulnerability – wheel bearings. There are no protective caps. Because of this, dirt and water straight into the bearing, forming the inner corrosion. As a result, the element begins to liftout and hums at speeds over forty miles per hour.

Conclusion

So, we have found that is «Lada Priora” (sedan). As you can see, the car is not without flaws. Here is a short - lived suspension, uncomfortable interior and corrode the body. However, if you consider the cost of the car, many of the flaws you can forgive him. In the secondary market ten years “Priority” with 16-valve engine can be bought for 200 thousand rubles. Recent instances of 2016 is available at a price of 400-450 thousand with mileage of 50 thousand kilometers. This machine impresses not only with its price but also the cheapness of service. There are no difficult arranged of engines and suspension. Any repairs will be affordable for every owner.
