Which seats are suitable for Lada Kalina or Granta from a foreign car?

What I wanted to find

I decided to find something more convenient to put on this car. The main search criterion was that the width of the runners be the same as in the Lada Grant. The width distance between the fastening bolts is 45 cm. The length of the main skids that are attached to the car body is 41 cm.

If the runners are narrower than on the Grant, then the plates will have to be welded on. But I didn’t want this, since this is already re-equipping the car. If I screw the seats back to the standard places, there will be no conversion. The seats will hold securely and will definitely not come off. If there is welding, then it is unknown how it will all turn out.

I looked on the Internet, read, studied this topic. I decided on seats from Hyundai Solaris. They also have a width at the centers of the mounting holes of 45 cm. The length of the runners is also 41 cm. The only drawback is that the “ear” is riveted in front.

There is also a reinforcement at the back that will have to be removed.

After removing these elements, what remains are completely bare runners, which will be screwed into the Lada Granta. There is no need to drill anything, everything matches the standard fasteners - very convenient.

Let's sum it up

The procedure for installing more comfortable seats is quite acceptable. This is a good opportunity for every car owner to make their vehicle more comfortable, beautiful and enjoyable to use. But for this you need to find smart products and a good craftsman. Seats on disassembly do not always inspire confidence. Many of them are smoked, some have broken plastic adjustment knobs, frayed fabrics or altered shapes. Therefore, you should buy seats carefully, checking all the factors. It is better to agree with the seller that you will return the seat if it turns out to be of poor quality.

The process of installing a new seat on a VAZ 2110 is quite complicated. But the most difficult process will be the digestion of the fastener. If you entrust this work to a specialist, you will not experience any significant problems with further actions. The choice of chair is important. Don't go for the width of the back and leather trim. It is better to buy simple and practical products from a reputable manufacturer. Such products will serve you for a long time and will not cause trouble in the future. What kind of seats would you like to put in your car?

Step-by-step installation instructions

I'll tell you in what order I worked:

1. I unscrewed 2 bolts front and rear in the cabin.
2. I pulled out the old seats.
3. When installing a new seat from Solaris, I used the second internal hole. A standard bolt was screwed into it.
4. The outer runners are a little tight, so I had to put a little pressure on them. But the tension is very small.

The inner runners fit well. The alignment with the original hole is one to one. But I had to put a washer in, since the hole is slightly larger than the required diameter.

The seats stood up like family. They are slightly worn, not new. As a result, the size of the seats takes up exactly the same amount of space as standard ones.

If you measure the distance between the seats, it is a little more than 12 cm. Standard armrests are 12 cm wide, so it turns out that they will be flush. But there is such an accessory from Granta Sport, which is 11 cm wide. I ordered such an armrest and want to install it.

Now the armrest will not interfere with the adjustment of the backrest - there are no twists. They are now on the outside, and not knobs, but levers. This is more convenient - you can quickly recline and fold the seat.

The driver's seat now has a lift that can be used to adjust the height. With minimal lowering, it turns out to be slightly higher than on Grant.

That's why I'm riding in the lowest position for now. The seat belts fit without any problems.

What exactly does a driver feel when he or she gets behind the wheel of a car for the first time? What is an indicator of driving comfort, especially on long trips? By what criterion do passengers who board your car for the first time say whether they find it comfortable or not? There are not many answer options, but perhaps the main thing is the car seats, in particular the front ones for the driver. Let's go further and figure out what we get from the factory in terms of seats, and specifically let's take the domestic car Lada Granta. Yes, we are getting modified seats of a new type, different from the same “nine”, where the back hurt after already 20 km. Ways. Yes, the new upholstery/covers look nicer than previous versions. But not all of them are equipped with heating (depending on the configuration), about which there is a separate discussion on our website, by the way, it is very useful to familiarize yourself with. Whatever one may say, look or look for the pluses, but the conclusion will be the same. Grant's standard seats are far from perfect in terms of comfort and practicality.

Now let's make a comparison with the seats of expensive foreign cars. Why are they so convenient for drivers? It's simple. This is lumbar support that relieves stress and allows your back not to get tired. This is lateral support that holds the body tightly during sharp or long turns.

This is a comfortable headrest that allows you to actually rest your head on it, rather than resting your head on the foam that is pressed against your head. This, again, is heating, with a built-in shutdown function when a certain temperature is reached, which allows you to keep the heat evenly, and not fry the fifth point endlessly.

All these parameters together allow you to feel “at ease”, as well as to control the car as precisely and precisely as possible during dynamic driving, without being distracted by holding yourself back.

Quite weighty arguments, right? Imagine that you can put all this on your grant. “You need to buy sports buckets, which have all these advantages, but they are inconvenient in everyday driving,” you say.

But no. All these wonderful advantages exist and have long been used in anatomical seats for VAZ cars. We present you a huge selection of such interesting details. And the assortment is really rich to choose from.

Our online store motorring.ru offers you seats for all tastes and needs. All anatomical chairs are equipped with all the parameters listed above: lumbar and lateral support, built-in heated seats with a relay for maintaining a certain temperature and a comfortable headrest. They also differ in type and shape for different configurations and driver heights. This way you can choose the most convenient and comfortable seat for yourself and your passengers. Among other things, the set we offer includes 2 front seats, as well as full rear upholstery, i.e. You receive a cover for the back seat and headrests, which will ultimately make your interior very beautiful, because... everything will be made from the same fabric, the same texture and the same color. All these changes will significantly transform the overall appearance of the interior and provide unprecedented comfort for a domestic car, which will allow you to happily go on long trips. In conclusion, it is worth saying that our managers will always give you competent advice and select anatomical seats specifically for you, according to your parameters and capabilities.

Refurbishment or not

Some may consider this a refurbishment, but I think not. I installed the seats on the Grant from a foreign car in the standard places. Skids without welding, also with 4 attachment points. Therefore, the reliability and installation method have not changed. And I doubt that it will be noticeable.

I ordered covers for the front seats and armrest.

It is secured with 3 screws. You need to unscrew them and install the armrest on them.

The armrest mounts fit well, everything fit together. Does the armrest interfere with the handbrake? If you fold it back, you can freely grab the handle with your hand. If you lower it, then using the handbrake is not so convenient. The height of the armrest turned out to be slightly higher than the gearshift knob.

Rear sofas - what to replace them with in the VAZ 2110?

If everything is approximately clear with the front seat options, then the rear sofas require a special approach. We are talking about an unconventional size and rather strange types of fastening of a sofa from AvtoVAZ. If you are far from automotive, it is better not to modify the rear seats yourself. To do this you will need the help of specialists

It is important to find a car of the same size, as wider cushions and backrests will have to be redesigned. The installation process is quite complicated:

you need to choose good rear sofas from models such as Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris, KIA Rio, Renault Logan, and you can also pay attention to Toyota Corolla; Next comes the dismantling of the seats of your car, which is not particularly difficult - just unscrew a few fasteners to get all the structural parts without any difficulties; Next, you should try on new seats, it is quite possible that you will have to order their re-upholstery at a studio, since it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to guess the size perfectly; the next step is the installation of fasteners, it is necessary to remove the fastening parts from the VAZ seats and rearrange them on the purchased pillows and backrests for high-quality fastening; after that, all that remains is to install the finished seats in place and enjoy the updated interior of your car, also don’t forget to take a photo and share it on the forums and in the logbook.

Of course, this sounds much simpler than it is done. The process may take more than one day, especially if the seats need to be altered, shortened or lengthened. When choosing seats for the rear of a car, it is best to buy a whole interior set. This will help significantly reduce the cost of further alterations. After all, if you install chairs of different colors, you will have to sew covers or change the upholstery and spend extra money.

Installation of covers

They sent me the covers that I ordered only for the front seats. Separately for the bottom, backrests and headrests.

I took it from the category of universal covers, since you can order 2 of them, without the rear seats. They cost only 2000 rubles. The material is soft and thick. Quite a budget option. The middle is a little convex, the bottom fits better.

I did everything I planned. I installed the seats on Granta from Solaris, the armrest, and put on the covers.

Other parameters of Lada Granta:

Caution: the above data are the official figures of the manufacturer, however, please note that the information is for reference only and does not guarantee absolute accuracy.

For finance

How much does the whole remodel cost?

1. I bought 2 seats from a car dealer for 7,500 rubles.
2. Armrest – 2150 rubles.
3. Covers – 2000 rubles.

The total cost was 11,650 rubles for all my re-equipment. The most budget option, since I didn’t take original covers, but universal ones. They don't fit the pattern a little, but it's not noticeable. Original covers cost 6,500 rubles. To be honest, I regretted spending money on them.

Whether you want to make such a modification to the seats or not, decide for yourself. I was confused, I liked it - the Lada Granta became completely different. It became more comfortable in it.

Specifications

Under the hood of the 2022 Lada Granta, one of three 4-cylinder gasoline engines is installed. All engines have a volume of 1.6-liters, but depending on the configuration, power units can produce 87, 98 and 106 hp, while the maximum torque for each of them is 140, 145 and 148 Nm, respectively. The manufacturer recommends refueling cars with AI-95 gasoline, of which 50 liters fit in the tank. Power units of 106 and 87 hp. are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 98-horsepower version is available with a four-speed automatic transmission. Regardless of the engine or transmission, the power is supplied to the front wheel drive without alternative.

The model's suspension consists of an independent multi-link structure at the front and a semi-independent structure at the rear, which is based on a torsion beam. In addition, the former is equipped with a stabilizer bar. The braking system is built according to a similar scheme: disc brakes are installed in front, and ordinary drums are installed on the rear axle. It is also worth noting that this model has electric power steering. Since the article discusses the Lada Granta sedan, we will provide the dimensions that are relevant specifically for this body. They have the following meanings:

• length - 4,268;
• width - 1,700 mm;
• height - 1,482 mm;
• wheelbase length - 2,456 mm;
• weight - 1,160 kg.

It must be said that the model has a maximum load capacity of 400 kg, therefore the permissible total load of the vehicle is 1,560 kg. The fairly spacious trunk can accommodate cargo with a total volume of 520 liters. The review of the technical characteristics of the Lada Grant can be completed by talking about the ride height. The five-seater sedan rises 180 mm above the road surface at its lowest point.

You will need:

• angle grinder; • Drill; • Welding machine (you can do without it); • Corner 60x60; • Profiled pipe 30x30; • Metal sheet 4 mm, cut into squares (for welding amplifiers); • Key to 13; • M8x14 bolts and cage nuts for them. First, the interior is freed from the old seats using a wrench. This eliminates the floor covering and sound insulation, if any. When starting to mark the location relative to the central tunnel, door cards, top of the pillar, ceiling, additionally take into account the disturbed alignment of the steering wheel in the Niva - by about 5 cm.

After this, the frame is assembled with pre-installed mortgages, welded or screwed to the power elements of the body (using corners) so that the standard amplifier is lower than the seat support.

Then the direct installation of seats on a VAZ from a foreign car is carried out.

The simplest options - almost without modifications

There are legends on the Internet that many seat models fit the VAZ 2110 without any modifications at all. But in fact, without any special modifications, you can only install Recaro from old Opel. All other options will have to be redone and digested. There are also arguments that this is not a safe process at all and could lead to disaster. Let's draw a definite line under all that has been said and give specific recommendations so that nothing bad happens:

• you will still have to weld the slides on the seats, but you don’t have to do it yourself, it’s better to order this work from a good welder, maybe not even a car mechanic;
• after welding, no further alterations are needed if you have chosen the seats correctly, that is, you have not bought too wide or high seat options because of beauty and cheapness;
• it is more difficult to change the rear sofa due to its rather specific size, but there are model options on the market with identical widths; you just need to look for offers at a disassembly site;
• you can keep all the functions of the seats from the foreign car - height adjustment, lumbar support adjustment, electrical adjustments (but they will have to be connected separately from the wiring);
• The conversion is not only possible, it is really worth it, since AvtoVAZ does not install the best seats, with the only exceptions being Vesta and X-RAY.

These are the conclusions that can be drawn from installing foreign-made seats on a VAZ 2110 car. This is a good idea that should result in positive emotions during the trip. In almost any foreign car, the seats are much more comfortable than in domestic cars. It makes no sense to install seats from Kalina or Priora in the Ten, you won’t feel a significant difference, and you’ll still have to struggle with modifications. So it’s better to find a good foreign car.

We invite you to watch a video of remaking seats for a VAZ 2110:

How to fold out the seats in a Grant Liftback

The rear backrest folds in a 60/40 ratio, which is very convenient and practical when transporting non-standard loads. Press the side clamps of the upper backrest and lower the desired side.

If necessary, the back row folds completely onto the floor, forming a flat platform without steps or bends. Folding the seats is easy: just press the side hinges of the upper backrest. The lower sofa is fixed with metal hinges at the base.

We install new seats on the Niva - the advantages of tuning models

One of the most important advantages is the possibility of their additional equipment. If you order such chairs directly from the studio, you are given the opportunity to equip them with an electric heating system, an embroidered logo (this can be either the emblem of the manufacturer or just a VAZ logo), adjustable lumbar support, as well as a forward reclining mechanism, which is especially important for Niva owners.

Drivers also note the convenience and comfort of the tuned seats. Each of these options has adjustable lumbar support rigidity, which eliminates driver fatigue on long trips. The seating position of this chair is significantly higher than that of standard ones, and visibility inside increases accordingly. Some models are additionally equipped with locking mechanisms and other technical bells and whistles.

As for reliability, unlike standard VAZ ones, these products are made of high-quality steel, and therefore have a reliable and durable design. Proof of this is the presence of normalized corners (present on almost every tuned chair). They are often made from rolled metal measuring 5x4x0.4 centimeters.

The cost of used products taken from disassembly and those purchased by drivers at a tuning studio is almost the same - about 100-200 US dollars per unit.
