Apparently the cheapest “standard” equipment on the Lada Priora will appear a little later. For now, only the middle and top versions of the car.
Despite the appearance of a large number of inexpensive foreign cars, similar in price to models from AvtoVAZ, the interest of Russian motorists in domestic cars has not weakened, but even vice versa. Moreover, if we take into account the economic situation, an increasing number of motorists are looking towards AvtoVAZ products. And not in vain, because the new Priora was released. The manufacturer kept the configurations, as well as the prices, secret until recently. But journalists have already received the car in the press park and carefully examined it. In general, we can say that it turned out to be bright due to new and modern lighting technology. The body, of course, remained the same. But due to small decorative elements, the once legend of the domestic automobile industry of modern times is recognizable on the roads.
Let's look at what this Priora is. Equipment, cost, owner reviews - all this is of great interest to fans of the brand. By the way, like the previous series, this car is available in several body styles. These are a hatchback with five and three doors and a sedan.
Exterior
Owner reviews say that the front part has a solid and even dynamic appearance. The main concept in creating the new appearance was X-design. The side X-stampings and narrow chrome trims look especially impressive, highlighting the new head optics. The fog lights also stand out interestingly. On the sides, the designers also used the X-style. The wheel arches turned out to be modest, but at the same time they do not look unnatural - they complement the overall picture. The roof line is made in the form of a dome. The line under the windows is smooth, as before. The rear of the car will also not leave anyone indifferent. The back is made very elegantly. The rear window has a large slope due to the roof. The trunk, which has now become a little shorter, with a protruding rib, now looks more massive. In the new post-restyling version of the car, a new hood was added. It is made in the shape of the letter U. If you look at the photographs, it is the front bumper that especially stands out.
In its new version, it has received rather intricate forms. Now it has significantly more transitions and original elements. The Priora body kit includes folding mirrors equipped with LED turn signal repeaters. The bumper has acquired a very massive appearance with a deep space for a license plate.
dimensions
The exterior of the car has changed, and along with it the overall dimensions. The length is now 4351 mm. The height of the body was 1412 mm. Width - 1680 mm. The ground clearance remained unchanged and is 165 mm.
Interior
The interior of the Priora (Standard trim level) has major changes.
This is especially noticeable on the front panel. Now it has become more informative, reviews say. The instrument panel was moved under the dome-shaped visor, and the on-board computer screen was placed between the speedometer and tachometer dials. The center console has also been updated. This is a truly updated Priora. The Luxury package also includes a multimedia system with a touch screen. As for the finishing materials used, it must be said that they have become noticeably better. Moreover, this did not affect the cost of the car. The only thing that's a little disappointing is the old seats. The front seats may not be very comfortable for overweight people.
The rear row of seats is firm, but there is plenty of legroom, which is a big plus. The new Lada Priora car's equipment includes improved sound insulation - everyone who has tested the car says that the cabin is much quieter.
Engines and transmission
Priora is offered with three engines. They are distinguished by performance and power, and also have good elasticity. Paired with these engines, the manufacturer offers a standard five-speed manual transmission. Will there be an automatic machine in the Lada Priora? There is no such configuration yet, but in the future the manufacturer intends to expand the line of gearboxes.
Speaking of mechanics. The 1.8-liter engine will be equipped with a 5-speed reinforced gearbox with cable drive. in the main pair is 3.7. There is also information that the car will be equipped with a robotic transmission from ZF. Now about the engines themselves. The first engine is a 1.8-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 123 hp. With. It is capable of accelerating the car to a maximum speed of 175 km/h. The car accelerates to the first 100 km in 10 seconds. Fuel consumption is from 7 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on the operating mode. The second unit is a 1.6-liter with a capacity of 106 horsepower. Maximum speed - 170 km/h. Acceleration to hundreds takes 11.5 seconds. Fuel consumption is slightly lower. However, these are only passport numbers. Reviews say that in fact the “engine” consumes a liter more than the previous one. A 1.6-liter engine with a power of 98 hp is also offered. With. Quite a lot has already been written about him. He is well known to everyone who is interested in the domestic automobile industry. Priora has been equipped with it for quite a long time, starting back in 2007. Since that time, the lineup has included an 87-horsepower unit. Car enthusiasts who managed to test this car in action liked the 1.8-liter engine more.
About the suspension
As for the suspension, the manufacturers claim that the new version is more reliable. The front has MacPherson struts, the rear has a dependent structure. The car handles confidently on the track. The tendency to roll has been reduced, and stability has appeared.
Options
The manufacturers themselves assure buyers that the car turned out to be budget-friendly, simple and concise.
The configuration of the new “Priora” is a choice of “Standard” and “Norma”. Perhaps luxury models will appear in the future. Well, for now we have to be content with only two versions.
Basic "Priora"
As standard, the manufacturer offers only an 8-valve 87-horsepower unit and a manual transmission. The price of the car is 389,900 rubles. The package includes a standard set of airbags and child seat mounts. The database already offers daily ABS and EBD. "Priora" ("Standard" trim level) is equipped with a trip computer on the instrument panel, and there is a comfortable armrest with a compartment for all sorts of small items. A small armrest is provided for rear passengers. If you open it, a ski hatch will appear. The rear seat is one-piece, with a folding backrest. Additional options include a 12 V socket for charging gadgets and a case in which you can hide your glasses.
As for options for comfort, the Lada Priora of the Standard configuration is equipped with an electric power steering. The steering column is now conveniently height adjustable. An option to adjust seat belt height has also been added. There are air and power windows for the front doors. By the way, for future owners of Lada Priora cars: the new “Standard” equipment provides only audio preparation. Exterior options include color-keyed door handles, stamped 13-inch wheels, and a full-size spare tire.
"Priora Norma"
The starting price is 438 thousand rubles. Additionally, there is an airbag for the driver. Head restraints were added for rear passengers. There is also a built-in immobilizer and alarm system. There is a stamped steel engine splash guard. Inside, everything is the same as in the “Standard”.
Except that this version of the new Priora additionally offers a sun visor for the passenger with a mirror. There is also nothing special to talk about comfort - a hydraulic amplifier, electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, and again audio preparation are added. On the exterior, the wheels have become larger. But these are the same stamped 14” wheels with a full-size spare wheel. There are wheel caps. A 106-horsepower 16-valve engine is available in this configuration. There are other configurations and prices of the new “Priora”, for example “Norma Climate”. They are asking 478,900 rubles for it. This version differs in its climate system. The car has audio equipment, electric power steering, and central locking. As for the safety and interior options, they are the same as in the simple “Norma”.
Results
The advantage of this budget car is that there are practically no competitors in its niche. Nowadays it’s difficult to buy a new, decent car for a family for 500 thousand. Therefore, people will buy the Lada Priora car. Options and prices deserve attention.

I bought a LADA GRANT at a car dealership on Varshavka, 56. I was very pleased. The price when I called on the phone and when I arrived was the same. I was very pleased with the discounts and gifts, as well as the efficiency of the showroom employees. 01/06/2019 I came to the dealership and left a deposit for the car , and on 01/09/2019 I took the car, although it was ready earlier. My personal manager was Alexander Litvin. I would like to express my deep gratitude to him for his cooperation and wish him further success in his work and adequate clients. Everything is clear, clear and to the point, without exaggeration and self-praise. Well done guys! Keep it up!
There is nothing to be done; in a crisis, Priora was forced to turn to the path once taken by the famous “seven” - VAZ-2107. Remember? The once richest and most prestigious model of the rear-wheel drive family has become the latest “classic” in AVTOVAZ’s production program. Toward the end of its release, it was made as cheap and simplified as possible, turning the car from a luxury one into a budget one.
So the Priora was first depleted of bodies: the hatchback and station wagon were discontinued at the end of 2015. And now there are only two options left - this is “Norma” at a price from 437,700 to 474,000 rubles for the option with air conditioning (for this money AVTOVAZ has more interesting offers) and “Standard” with a shortened list of options, thanks to which it was possible to reduce the price to 389,000 rubles.
For comparison: the smaller Granta in the basic configuration costs 383,900 rubles. We can assume that we are equal. And not only the price. Both models have an 8-valve VAZ-21116 engine with a power of 87 hp under the hood. With him, Priora does not seem too sluggish. It accelerates well and brakes well, fortunately the anti-lock braking system and electronic brake force distribution were not cut. The small wheels are not visible from the interior, but the Priora handles tolerably well on them.
I think that the Priora will still live in the “many car for a ruble” scenario. It does not have a fatally outdated appearance, a high-quality interior and a comfortable interior. The former prima donna is let down by the design features of the tenth family platform, originally from the 90s: suboptimal ergonomics of the driver’s seat, a small gas tank and trunk for a car of this size, as well as vibrations and noise. All this shows age and makes no sense in further attempts to design expensive luxury versions. Therefore, Priora cannot avoid the fate of the “Seven” - the affordable modification now has a better chance of finding a buyer.
PLUS: the interior is still nice
MINUS: the trunk is smaller than that of the Granta
