New Lada Priora hatchback, price, photo, video, equipment, technical specifications Lada Priora hatch

We offer an overview of the most practical car from the entire Lada Priora family. This is of course new Lada Priora station wagon (VAZ 2171)

. In our article you will find photos, characteristics, prices and other information about this car.

The first Priors station wagon

appeared on sale back in 2009, two years after the start of sales of sedans. Lada Priora station wagon is the most spacious and roomy car of the entire Priora family. However, the length of the station wagon is 1 centimeter shorter than the sedan, but longer than the hatchback. At the same time, the wheelbase of all three body options is the same.

The luggage compartment volume of the Priora station wagon is 444 liters

, however, if you fold the rear seats, the volume of loading space increases to 777 liters. The most interesting thing is that the seats still do not fold into a perfectly flat floor.

As for the latest restyling, which took place in 2013, the car has remained virtually unchanged in appearance. Apart from the new radiator grille, bumpers, turn signals built into the exterior mirrors and optics with daytime running lights, by the way, the rear lights now have LEDs.

However, the technical part and interior have undergone more serious changes. Thus, a more powerful power unit of 106 hp appeared on the new generation Lada Priora station wagon. This engine is not a new development, but a modernized 98 hp engine. As for the transmission of the front-wheel drive station wagon, Avtovaz designers modified the manual gearbox, and a new cable clutch appeared. There is no automatic transmission option yet, but as the manufacturer promises, Lada Priora with automatic transmission will hit the production line at the end of summer 2014

. In addition, the sound insulation of the Lada Priora station wagon has been slightly improved.

But the first thing that clearly catches your eye on the new Priora is the interior. There are new seats with a fabric that is more practical and pleasant to the touch. By the way, in rich trim levels, the front seats have built-in side airbags and heating with three power levels. The steering wheel is now three-spoke. The center console has a color monitor, which is not only an element of the stereo system, but can also act as a navigator screen.

Technical characteristics of Lada Priora station wagon

Dimensions for Priora station wagon

, after restyling, they changed a little due to new bumpers.
So previously the length of the car was 4,330 mm, now it is 4,340 mm. It is also worth noting that the ground clearance of the Lada Priora station wagon
is 5 mm greater than that of the sedan and hatchback and is equal to
170 mm
.
This difference is explained by the reinforced suspension, since the station wagon is designed not only for transporting passengers, but also for transporting all kinds of cargo. In particular, the car's rear springs have more coils. The height of the car is also greater when compared with its siblings. There is no big secret here, it’s just that all Lada Priora station wagons come standard with roof rails. See the detailed overall dimensions of the Priora station wagon
below.

Station wagon

Today, three types of bodies are produced: sedan, hatchback and station wagon. Since you already know everything about the first two, we’ll tell you about the station wagon. This is a very practical car, the luggage compartment is spacious enough to carry large loads, and you can easily convert the rear seat into a bed.

If you look at this type of body from a technical point of view, its volume is 444 liters, and with the sofa folded - about 800 liters (up to the level of the windows).

Characteristics of the trunk volume of the station wagon (mm):

width – 1500, between wheel arches – 930;
length – 985 and 1640 with the sofa folded;
the distance from the floor to the trunk shelf is 560, and to the lid – 845;
trunk door opening size – 820.

The station wagon car itself has very serious dimensions (mm):

in length is 4340;
width – 1680;
in height – 1508;
ground clearance - 170.

For those who are interested in purchasing a Lada Priora station wagon, the technical characteristics of the body, engine and suspension are equally important. "Lada Priora" is the direct heir and successor of the flagship family of VAZ 2110 models of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. Several hundred changes were made to the design of the car, so the VAZ-2170, VAZ-2171 and VAZ-2172 models (sedan, station wagon and hatchback, respectively) are considered to be a separate family. The first sedans went on sale in 2007, and station wagons in 2009. The Lada Priora station wagon is the most practical and spacious car in the family. At the end of 2020, AvtoVAZ stopped producing and accepting orders for this model.

Configurations and price of Lada Priora station wagon

It is worth noting that the price of the most affordable Lada Priora station wagon

in the “norm” configuration today is
384 thousand rubles
, at the same time the most affordable sedan is offered for 364 thousand, and the hatch can be bought for 369,700. In the “luxury” configuration, a station wagon can be bought for 458,300 rubles, a sedan for 449,700 rubles, and the Priora hatchback in the same configuration has a price of 454,500 rubles. That is, the more expensive the equipment, the smaller the difference in price between different body versions.

Today the luxury version of Lada Priora station wagon

has all the necessary options. In terms of safety, the car is equipped with front and side airbags, ABS, exchange rate stability systems, rain and light sensors, advanced seat belts, and special energy-absorbing inserts have appeared in the bumpers. In terms of comfort, Lada Priora station wagon buyers are offered a multimedia system with a large screen in the center console, climate control, and cruise control. Light alloy wheels measuring 14 inches.

But even in the “norm” configuration, the car’s equipment is quite good. So, all cars already have a driver airbag, rear seat head restraints, an ISOFIX child seat mounting system, and an anti-lock brake system with emergency brake assist (ABS and BAS). Instead of the latest electric one, they offer a traditional hydraulic booster, steel wheels, and a full-size spare wheel. Of course there is no multimedia system, but there is audio preparation. As noted above, roof rails on the Lada Priora station wagon

present in all restyled cars.

Drawing conclusions

For the money, the Priora is a great car. Both in the city and on the dirt road he behaves purposefully. The body type has practically no effect on its “filling”. That is, the presence of air conditioning or electric power steering does not depend at all on whether you are driving a sedan or a hatchback.

We recommend: The best compact crossovers: review of car models

The technical differences between the sedan and the hatchback are not that fundamental. This means that when choosing a Lada Priora sedan or hatchback, focus more on appearance. What do you like? A roomy classic car or a sports car with fancy taillights?

Also keep in mind that for a sedan you will pay a minimum of 345 thousand rubles, and for a hatchback they ask for a minimum of 354 thousand rubles. The cost of luxury versions starts from 442 thousand rubles for a sedan and from 446 thousand rubles for a hatchback.

Versions of the Priora station wagon

For the Lada Priora station wagon, three configuration options are possible:

“Standard” is the cheapest (not produced since 2014).
“Norma”, which includes an airbag for the driver, a brake system with a vacuum booster, front disc brakes, power steering, inertia seat belts, an anti-theft alarm, running lights for daylight hours, a fabric interior, and electric heated exterior mirrors.
The “Lada Priora” station wagon “Lux” is distinguished by the fact that it has airbags for passenger seats in the first row, a rain sensor, electric windows in the rear doors, and alloy wheels. The interior finishing material is Alcantara (artificial suede). The front seats can be adjusted. In some cases, the Lada Priora Lux station wagon is equipped with parking sensors and a navigator.

In 2013, the car was restyled. Externally, the 2013 station wagon and the 2014 station wagon differ little. The new version features an updated radiator grille, side collars on the side mirrors, the front and rear bumpers have changed, and LEDs have been installed in the headlights.

The interior of the 2013 Priora station wagon has undergone major changes. It was modernized with the participation of the Italian design studio Carcerano. The car is now equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel, and a color monitor is installed in the center console to control the stereo system and display navigator information. In older trim levels, the front row seats are equipped with additional airbags and adjustable heating.

Vehicle body and layout

Body type VAZ 2171 is a five-seater, five-door station wagon. The fifth door is solid and opens upward. The overall dimensions of the Lada Priora station wagon (body length, width and height) are 4210, 1680 and 1420 mm, respectively. The height is indicated taking into account the roof rails, which are not removable. For the Lada Priora station wagon, 10 body color options are offered: from black and dark red to white and silver. The "Lada Priora" station wagon in "Snow Queen" color is most suitable for southern regions, since it heats up less from the sun. In summer, cars of this color will not be so hot.

The vehicle's wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear axles) is 2492 mm. The front track is 1410 mm, the rear is slightly larger, its size is 1380 mm. Ground clearance (or ground clearance) is 170 mm. The trunk of the Priora station wagon has a volume of 444 cubic dm, and with the rear row seats folded, the volume will increase to 777 cubic dm, but the seats do not fold flat. Lada Priora 2171 has a front-wheel drive layout with a front transverse engine. The wheel arrangement is 4×2 (the car has 4 wheels, 2 of which are driving).

In the AvtoVAZ Lada Priora model line, the station wagon is closest to the Kalina station wagon. Which is better: a Kalina station wagon or a Priora station wagon, it is impossible to determine for sure. “Kalina” is 30 cm shorter, and its trunk is 30 liters smaller. But the Priora is no longer produced, so it is impossible to buy a completely new car, just as it is impossible to test drive a Lada-Priora station wagon at a car dealership.

Overall dimensions of Priora | PrioraPRO

Lada Priora cars are designed specifically for dynamic and fast-paced city roads. Their appearance is distinguished by its composure, versatility and agility. The overall dimensions of the Priora emphasize its individuality - each model, be it a hatchback, sedan or station wagon, has its own dimensions:

A hatchback by nature, the car is more youthful, due to this it is lighter and sportier - its dimensions are: length 4210 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1435 mm;

The heavier sedan has dimensions: length 4400 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1420 mm;

The squat and solid station wagon meets the following parameters: length 4340 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1508 mm;

The handsome Coupe, fast and dynamic, has dimensions: length 4243 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1435 mm.

The overall dimensions of the Lada Priora are gently combined with the style of its body. This is emphasized by geometric lines, an elegantly designed radiator grille, and elegant headlights, both rear and front. Adding uniqueness are the open front and rear wheel arches, which are pulled up to the wheel arch by the rear bumper. This combination makes the car elevated and attracts attention.

In addition, the overall dimensions of the Priora can confidently be compared with excellent aerodynamics. When driving at high speeds, the car provides a balance of lifting and downforce on the front and rear axles, and the air resistance coefficient in the sedan body is 0.34, which corresponds to the level of the world's best analogues.

During crash tests, the Lada Priora, whose overall dimensions are quite small in comparison with cars in its price segment, showed itself in the best possible way: it meets the latest European requirements for side and frontal impacts. Absolute safety is ensured with seat belts for each passenger, an airbag for the driver, and in the “luxury” configuration also for the front passenger.

Also in the Priora, the side pillars and floor sills were improved, and steel door safety bars were installed. Special damping inserts are built into the door trim, which provide increased safety in the event of a side impact.

In the event of a possible collision at low speeds, the safety of the front passenger is increased thanks to the soft pad on the instrument panel.

Vehicle powertrain

Three engine options are available:

8-valve VAZ-2116 engine with a power of 90 horsepower;
16-valve VAZ-21126 engine with a power of 98 horsepower. The station wagon modification with engine 21126 (factory designation VAZ 217130) is the most affordable on the secondary market;
The 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine, which produces 106 horsepower, wins in terms of efficiency and reliability.

The base engine of the Lada Priora 2171 model is a gasoline, four-stroke, four-cylinder (cylinders are arranged in a row) 16-valve VAZ-21127 engine with distributed injection. This engine appeared after the VAZ-21126 engine was modified to improve the intake system. On the VAZ 21127, instead of one mass air flow sensor, two are installed: absolute pressure and air temperature. This made it possible to get rid of the known problem of the previous model - fluctuations in the crankshaft speed at low speeds.

The volume of this engine is 1596 cubic cm, the diameter of each of the four cylinders is 82 mm, the piston stroke is 75.6 mm, the compression ratio is 11. The octane number of gasoline used is 95. This engine develops power up to 106 horsepower at crankshaft rotation speed 5800 rpm, and its maximum torque is 148 Nm at 4200 rpm. It is obvious that the characteristics of the VAZ Priora with the 21127 engine are 8 horsepower and 3 Nm higher than those of a car of the same brand with the 21126 engine.

The maximum speed of the Priora station wagon with engine 21127 is 183 km/h, acceleration to hundreds is possible in 11.5 seconds with a total weight of 1578 kg. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 6.8 liters per 100 km, and on the highway fuel consumption is 5.4 liters per 100 km. The fuel tank holds 43 liters of fuel. The manufacturer claims an engine life of 200 thousand km.

Lada Priora station wagon (in-plant index VAZ-2171) has been produced in Tolyatti since May 2009. The car is built on the platform of the Lada Priora sedan and differs from its co-platform, of course, by a different rear part and the presence of a large and voluminous luggage compartment.

As part of the review, we will try to find the advantages, as well as disadvantages, of the Russian station wagon model Lada Priora.

The appearance of the VAZ 2171 station wagon copies the exterior design of the Priora sedan and hatchback entirely, but only up to the doors of the second row, then differences are observed that have a positive effect on the seating position of the rear row passengers and the cargo capacity of the trunk. The straight roof line and almost even glass frames made it possible to significantly increase the doorway in the upper part, making it definitely more convenient to sit in the station wagon in the rear seats than in a sedan or hatchback. The van-shaped stern, of course, does not look like a masterpiece of design art, but in fact it is thought out and competent from a practical point of view. The car does not look like a “barn” in profile; from the rear, the vertically positioned lighting equipment allowed us to fit the correct rectangular tailgate door, which is important given the low loading height.

Overall dimensions of the Priora station wagon: 4340 mm long, 1680 mm wide, 1508 mm high, with a 2492 mm wheelbase and 165 mm ground clearance. Tires with rims 175/65 R14 – 185/65 R14 are installed at the factory. In general, the car body makes a pleasant impression, and during production, more than half of the body parts are made of galvanized and low-alloy steel (they will not allow rust to develop for at least six years).

Inside, we are first interested in the rear seats (after all, we are talking about a universal car for the whole family), their transformation and, most importantly, the cargo capacity of the trunk. It is more convenient to get into the Lada Priora station wagon, and sit more comfortably than in the Priora sedan and hatchback. Legroom is in short supply, but headroom and overall space are noticeably free and comfortable. The trunk in traveling condition with five passengers can accommodate 444 liters (loading along the lower edge of the glass), folding the second row seats (you will have to remove the headrests and put in a lot of effort and skill) we get 777 liters (on the glass). It has been experimentally verified that loading “under the ceiling” will provide a volume of about 1200 useful liters. The luggage compartment is really impressive in its size, the refrigerator will fit in without any problems, but how many bags of potatoes can be loaded... it all depends on the owner. Do not forget that the carrying capacity of the “universal Priora” is 505 kilograms. The trunk can easily be considered one of the advantages of the car, but the disadvantages of the interior, like the entire Priora family, are uncomfortable front seats, poor build quality of the interior and the materials used, and inconvenient transformation of the seats.

Specifications

. For the Lada Priora station wagon, only one petrol engine is offered: a 1.6-liter 16 cl. (98 hp) with 5 manual gearboxes. The engine power is enough for confident movement with a full passenger compartment and a loaded trunk, but with the air conditioning on, the engine thrust is not enough, and fuel consumption in mixed mode with a full load rarely drops below 9 liters. The suspension with reinforced rear springs is stiff, especially when operating with an empty trunk. The gearbox is an unsuccessful design, inconvenient control and switching algorithm; over the years of production, its criticism has already set everyone’s teeth on edge, but it continues to be installed on cars.

Price

. You can become the owner of a Lada Priora station wagon in the “norm” configuration (hydraulic booster, audio preparation, front windows, ABS with BAS, driver’s airbag) by paying 361.9 thousand rubles. The most advanced version of the Lada Priora “luxury” station wagon (two airbags, electric power steering, heated front seats and windshield, electric heated mirrors, climate system, advanced music, light and rain sensors, artificial leather seat upholstery, parking sensors and other options) “ will pull” by 441.2 thousand rubles.

The “Priors” family now has a complete set - a station wagon has been added to the produced versions of the model with sedan and hatchback bodies. Moreover, changes occurred not only with the car body.

COMPETITION in market conditions is a great thing! It seems that Russian automakers have finally begun to understand this. At least the “Lada Priora” station wagon, even with a purely “theoretical” acquaintance, clearly differs in a positive direction from similar models in a similar price segment. In the “Lux” package, for example, rain and light sensors are installed here. In cars of similar cost, you won’t even get such equipment as an option. Well, the VAZ station wagon is already equipped with climate control, ABS, electric windows and alloy wheels in the basic version.

Once inside the cabin, I almost reflexively noticed the quality of its build. After all, on the “Priora” sedan, which I had the opportunity to test two years ago, the glove box was difficult to close, the exterior mirrors vibrated, and the hatch for transporting long objects located in the back of the rear seat jammed..

And in general, everything there somehow creaked suspiciously and did not inspire any confidence. Therefore, with particular passion, I walked my hand over the dashboard and interior trim. But this time I didn’t find any outright hackwork: the gaps between the panels and interior parts became smoother and smaller, nothing in the cabin seemed to creak.. Well, you can get under way.

I have a presentiment of how knowledgeable people are trying to pull me back, to stop me: they say, tell me about the main thing - about practicality, the volume of the luggage compartment! After all, this is a station wagon! And you’re on your way right away...

We must, of course, pay attention to this. Although, unfortunately, there is nothing special to talk about practicality. The trunk volume of the station wagon is exactly the same as that of the predecessor “Lada-111” - 450 liters (if you load luggage up to the window line) and 777 liters (with the rear seats folded). The indicators are mediocre - in other compact class station wagons the cargo compartment capacity is close to, and in some cases exceeds, a thousand liters.

And what’s interesting is that the station wagon is 5.5 cm longer than the “eleventh”, why didn’t the trunk become larger? The fact is that the external dimensions have increased mainly due to the “plumper” bumpers - this has no effect on the internal space.

To be fair, it must be said that the luggage compartment here is well designed. To make loading easier, the edge of the fifth door was placed quite low, for which purpose a recess was specially made in the rear bumper. They provided a net in the trunk and several small metal loops for attaching things. Here the VAZ team also distinguished itself from its competitors.

External and internal view of Lada Priora

New Priors are now equipped with Euro handles from the factory. In our opinion, this is a small plus for design and convenience. You will not receive fog lights in the basic configuration; they are equipped with Priora luxury versions , which are already much more expensive. The trunk opens conveniently, its volume is 360 liters, which is not a bad indicator for a hatchback. With the rear seats folded down, the volume of the compartment increases to 700 liters, so transporting any large cargo should not cause problems.

Let's move on to the interior. The Priora's interior is the most modern of domestic cars. The seats are comfortable and have a sufficient number of adjustments. There is enough space for three in the back; only a tall passenger can reach his head to the ceiling, and his knees will rest against the back of the front seat only if it is pushed back to its fullest position. The door trim and front panel are made of dark gray plastic, the quality of which is much better than that of previous VAZ models. The instrument cluster is traditional and convenient, so we won’t focus much attention on it. The controls are convenient and did not cause us any complaints; everything is quite simple, and anyone can understand them. When driving, there is a lot of extraneous noise in the cabin, therefore, as we already noted in the article about the VAZ 2115, additional sound insulation will not hurt.
