maybe it will be useful for someone to install a subwoofer)) Google says that the trunk volume is 430 l, I think I’ll believe it)
Before purchasing any car, the future owner carefully studies the main characteristics. The selection of a vehicle is primarily based on its power, efficiency, and safety.
Data on new modifications of familiar models is very important. For example, for a Lada Priora hatchback, the technical characteristics will indicate the updates received, modifications to the car and advantages over analogues in a different body.
Dimensions and dynamic data of Priora hatchback
The solid hatchback has small but sufficient dimensions: length - 4.21 m, width - 1.68 m, height - 1.43 m. The internal space was reduced due to the small external dimensions, but had minimal impact on the comfort of travel for second-row passengers.
The technical characteristics of the Priora hatchback also had a slight impact on the trunk volume. In the sedan, the luggage compartment volume is 430 liters, and in the hatchback it is 360 liters.
The model is equipped with 1.6 liter petrol engines. The power plant is combined with manual or 5-speed automatic transmissions. Engine power is 87, 98 and 106 hp, the maximum possible speed is 176 (183) km/h. The technical characteristics of the hatchback indicated for the Lada Priora lead to the following fuel consumption in mixed mode: from 6.6 to 7.3 liters. The maximum figure applies to a model with an automatic transmission.
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, and therefore lighter and sportier - its dimensions: length 4210 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1435 mm;
— the heavier sedan has dimensions: length 4400 mm, width 1680 mm, height 1420 mm;
— a 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. The open front and rear wheel arches, which are pulled up to the wheel arch by the rear bumper, add uniqueness.
This combination makes the car raised 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.

Features of operation of Priora hatchback
It is important to further study the internal features of the model before purchasing a car. For example, the Lada Priora hatchback technical characteristics, which are quite good, have a high-quality immobilizer and trip computer.
The model is equipped with electric power steering, electric windows, and heated exterior mirrors. No less important car settings include:
1. Precise steering wheel height adjustment.
2. The presence of a front airbag and emergency braking system.
Trunk
In a hatchback, the body is one-volume, since the trunk is not separated from the passenger compartment. Its cover is an additional door. This makes loading and unloading easier and makes it possible to get inside the car if, say, the locks of other doors freeze in winter. On the other hand, its opening quickly cools the air inside the car. Since the luggage compartment does not have sufficient sound insulation, the overall noise level inside the car increases. This is also facilitated by the knocking of the rear shelf, which appears when it is not securely fastened.

It is better for tall “high-altitude climbers” to bend down - here the door hangs a little closer to the head. But it is much more important that it is easier to lift the boxes: the loading height is less, and the side is half as low as in Kalina. Are you packed? Why did one of the boxes seem to have fallen through somewhere? It turns out that the side elements of the raised floor hang over the niches in the wings without any support. This means that a heavy load should be placed only in the middle of the floor, above the spare wheel. And so they did. And we realized: there is more free space here. True, the ill-fated generator with a ladder was left behind. Let’s resort to transforming the salon “furniture” again.
Suspension characteristics
The Priora's chassis was designed for smooth driving over bumps and obstacles, as well as driving along a country road. Of course, the VAZ-2170 is not an SUV, but it can easily go through many places. The front part of the suspension is independent, and the rear part is semi-independent, which makes the car softer.
Many owners almost immediately replace the anti-roll bar arms along with the struts with a sports kit - so that the car does not wobble when making a sharp turn. Telescopic shock absorbers consistently dampen vibrations when driving over obstacles, so there will be no problems with it. The VAZ-2170 is a front-wheel drive car.
- Front suspension is MacPherson type with longitudinal braces.
- The rear suspension is also with trailing arms. It has a U-shaped transverse beam, to which a torsion-type anti-roll bar is attached.
As for the ground clearance, for the pre-restyling version it was 165 mm, and for the restyled version it was 170 mm. The wheelbase is 249.2 cm, the front track width is 141 cm, the rear track is 138 cm. The suspension can be lowered or raised if desired - ready-made kits for modernization are available for open sale.
Station wagons LADA Kalina, Priora
Well, what is it like for our installers behind the wheel? There are no revelations here - both cars are already familiar. High seating position, good visibility, decent cabin width - the layout of the Kalina's interior space deserves high praise. In addition, one cannot help but notice how much the build quality has increased compared to copies from earlier batches. What will the passengers say? After you unload some of the equipment to seat your household, they will rejoice at the unexpected space. But here’s what’s not good: even in the event of a minor accident, it is the occupants of the rear sofa that will be at risk - there are seat belts, but not a single headrest!
Comparison of trunk parameters with other Lada models
Thanks for subscribing!
To compare the capacity parameters, consider other AvtoVAZ models:
- Vesta's predecessor, Lada Granta (sedan) has 520-liter luggage space. Folding the seat backs increases the volume to 840 liters. Parameters of Grants in a hatchback body – 440 liters and plus 320 liters when access to the interior is opened. Grants in the station wagon body have the smallest volume, which is 355 (670) liters.
- The internal luggage space of the Lada Priora sedan is 430 liters, the station wagon – 444 liters, the hatchback – 360 liters.
- Lada Kalina has parameters: 240/550 (hatchback), 355/670 (station wagon)
- The Lada Largus station wagon can accommodate up to 2350 liters of luggage, and the van body is even larger - 2540.
As you can see, the last point especially stands out in this list due to the fact that Largus was created for the transportation of bulk cargo. The other models are approximately at the same level, and Vesta is only ahead of Grant by 40 liters.

However, our installer friends do not live by their luggage alone - we still need to get to construction! On the move, Kalina evokes conflicting feelings. It seems that the 1.4-liter engine (this is the version tested) can be confidently called modern (and economical), but its power is not enough even for an empty car. How will it accelerate when fully loaded? The station wagon loses all semblance of dynamics and, like a KamAZ with a full tank, becomes an obstacle to the flow. What a flow there is - even at the start the engine choke, you have to add gas, fire the clutch.
Replacing trunk supports of Priora
You will need : two open-end wrenches “13”, a handle.
- Open the tailgate and install a wooden strip as a stop.
- We unscrew the lower ball pin of the stop using an open-end wrench “13”.
- While holding the stop, use the same key to unscrew the top pin and remove the stop from the car.
With a more powerful gas stop, the trunk lid will open already from the middle of the journey, but closing the trunk will have to be done with great effort.
By the way, do you know how to solve another well-known problem of hatchbacks and station wagons, getting rid of trunk squeaks?

Station wagons LADA Kalina, Priora
“Priora” is somewhat similar to its rival. The same “empty” steering wheel (its rotation is accompanied by a quiet but annoying buzzing of the electric booster), quite decent smoothness. But the dynamics are much better, even with the air conditioning on. It is clear that with it the car accelerates not as quickly as with it not working, but there is no need to be ashamed. And if you remember that, according to the passport data, the fuel consumption of both station wagons is almost the same, then the conclusion which one wins suggests itself. However…
Installation of springs of different lengths and stiffness
Gearbox for Lada Priora
The amount of ground clearance of a car directly depends on the installed spring. The body rests on it, and not only how much the car will rise above the road, but also the operation of the entire suspension depends on its rigidity and length. There are several options for springs on the Lada Priora. These are classes “A” and “B”, the first one is considered the more severe. In addition, there are several types of springs that were installed directly at the factory at different times.
When choosing springs, you should always look for a reasonable compromise, since installing an overly stiff part and using it on an unloaded car will not allow the suspension to work smoothly, and the car will bounce on every bump.
One of the options for increasing ground clearance is to install intercoil spacers on the spring. These elements do not allow the spring to compress completely, and the stiffness of the suspension increases. However, at the same time, the compression of the shock absorber is limited, which reduces the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle's suspension. This method is justified when using the car on bad roads, since it additionally helps prevent breakdown of the suspension and protect the shock absorber and spring from destruction.
Another simple way to increase ground clearance is to install a spacer under the spring between the body and the spring. This part, made of high-strength rubber, easily copes with the pressure of the vehicle's weight on it, while the suspension settings practically do not change. You need to understand that if the spring sag, installing such a spacer will not be able to increase the rigidity of the part. Therefore, the spring must be changed.
Dimensions of the restyled Lada Priora
have not changed significantly. Although due to the new front and rear bumpers the length of the Lada Priora
changed by a few millimeters.
Still restyling Lada Priora sedan
has the longest length, which in the new version is 4,350 mm. The length of the station wagon is 1 centimeter shorter, but the Priora hatchback is even smaller, the length of this version of the body is 4210 mm. The width of the entire family is 1,680 mm and the wheelbase is the same for all 2,492 mm. But everyone’s height is different, the Lada Priora sedan is 1,420 mm, the hatchback is 1,435 mm, but the station wagon is generally 1,508 mm in height. The high height of the Priora station wagon is explained by the presence of roof rails. In a hatchback, the design of the rear part of the body is such that the car turns out to be taller than a sedan.

WHAT TO CALL THEM?
The name of the body type “station wagon” is firmly rooted in world terminology, but there are others. In America, such cars are called Station Wagons - in honor of the horse-drawn carriages that carried passengers from railway stations. In Britain - Shootig Brake, in France - Break (short for Break de Chasse). Both can be translated as “hunting rest” - after the name of horse-drawn carriages for hunting. In Germany, a similar car will be referred to as Variant or Kombi, although the latter definition, strictly speaking, is suitable for any five-door body.
The editors thank Alexey Volobuev for providing the car for the test and for his assistance in preparing the material.
Trunk volume and body dimensions of Lada Largus
This brand is available in 3 versions:
- passenger;
- increased capacity;
- cargo van.
The average trunk size of this car is 135 liters; if you fold the third row of seats, it increases to 560 liters. Exactly the same body volume of a 5-seater station wagon. A maximum capacity of up to 2350 liters is possible if all seats are folded down. With the third row seats folded, the trunk length is 90 cm, and with the second and third row seats folded, it is 174 cm.
As we can see, the cargo van is much more spacious than other Largus options; it is perfect for large shipments. The passenger version and the increased capacity also accommodate cargo, but in small quantities. The first type is generally intended for maximum hand luggage, and the second - for small items.
Features of the bodies of “Ladovo” models
ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"
Since we started with QOL, let’s continue this topic. For the frame of Ladovsky models without glued glass, the quality of life is 14 thousand N*m/degree, which is a very good mark. And with glass this figure is even higher.
The testing of the Lada body in the rear turned out to be especially good. Thus, in the rear door opening, after a tough diagonal pressure test, the changes were recorded as only 1.5 mm, whereas on most foreign cars the same figure was 5-6 mm.
The body design of the Lada Largus and other similar models fundamentally complies with current European standards in terms of protecting passengers and the driver. The front subframe on Ladovsky models is one of the most important body elements responsible for this indicator. It is even considered an auxiliary spar, significantly increasing the strength of the body, as well as absorbing impact force.
The high quality of life of the Ladovsky body also has a beneficial effect on obtaining high-quality sound comfort in a car showroom. The frame does not twist over bumps and bumps, no deformations or anomalies occur between the interior and body elements, which ultimately has a positive effect on the absence of squeaks.
Note. Of course, in addition to the quality of life indicator, the quality of interior elements also affects the high level of sound comfort. They were obtained through proper calculation so as not to come into contact with the body in places where squeaking might occur. This was achieved by fixing the plastic components with special fasteners and minimizing the various gaps that arise one way or another between them and the body.
A lot of original parts, interchangeability of interior elements between Ladovsky models, enlargement of some parts of the body - all this was only a plus. In particular, the increase in some body elements led to a decrease in their number, which reduced production time and had a positive effect on performance.
