We present to your attention a test drive of Priora Luxury, a video review of the most expensive and exclusive version of Priora.
The factory comes with a mobilizer and central locking with remote control. Moreover, only the driver’s door opens with one click; to open the passenger doors, you need to press again. The central locking is closed with one press of a button on the key. This means that there is a rather primitive anti-theft system.
Priora in standard configuration | PrioraPRO
Today, the domestic auto industry offers consumers fairly high-quality cars. They may, of course, not be on par with the Germans or Japanese in terms of build quality or the range of various functions, but the desire for perfection is never superfluous, and proof of this goal are the cars produced annually, which gradually satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customers.
The Priora in the standard configuration is a car that, in principle, almost everyone can afford. This particular set is designed for the average wallet. But this does not mean at all that it is too much inferior to the “luxury” and “standard” trim levels. Of course, there are significant differences, but Lada Priora retains its face in any form.
Italian designers from the Carcerano studio worked on the external appearance of the Priora together with Russian manufacturers. Thanks to this, the Lada Priora standard looks quite attractive and has a fabric interior, which is practical and inexpensive. This car model also has bumpers painted in body color and stamped rims.
In addition, in the Lada Priora car, the standard equipment means the presence of a driver’s airbag, ABS, tilt steering and front electric windows.
The standard package includes a 1.6-liter engine with a power of 98 horsepower. In the “luxury” configuration there is already a little more horsepower - 106. Priora is capable of reaching speeds of up to a maximum of 183 km/h. If desired, the car owner can install an additional audio system, air conditioning and heated windshield, for an additional fee, of course.
The standard equipment of the Lada Priora may seem meager to some, but in comparison with the VAZ 2110 model that preceded the appearance of the Priora, changes are obvious. Fans of this car change the struts, install widened rims and lower the “belly” in such a way that, in combination with a body kit, makes the Priora more sporty and even somewhat formidable. The buyer has a choice of hatchback, sedan and station wagon.
The car behaves well on the roads, a fairly strong suspension allows you to easily pass through potholes and speed bumps, although it is better not to drive it off-road, like any other car that is valued and taken care of.
Anti-corrosion treatment in Priora is designed so that the owner does not worry about moisture or heavy precipitation. And the reinforced body, which has passed crash tests with a score of 4 points, also with a bonus in the form of an airbag, makes the Lada an attractive car with a low price.
Driving performance
A test drive of the Priora Lux showed that the suspension is even more comfortable than that of some more expensive cars. Such as Polo, Rio or Solaris. There it is denser, here it is a little softer, but this is better for our roads. She walks normally even over bumps. If it were a little stiffer, handling would be better, but comfort would suffer. Anything softer would be too soft. Here it is quite balanced.
The discs are small, but the suspension was made specifically for them and it handles the road well. The steering wheel is new and comfortable. It's tight when we drive on the highway. When we drive around the city, the electric power steering automatically turns on at low speeds.
The pedals are located normally and work well. Soft, smooth, sensitive brake, electronic pedal. The engine speed does not immediately drop, the car does not jerk when switching.
They installed new type boxes, but this did not affect the switching. The gears are not always engaged the first time; on the Grant they work better. Average fuel consumption is 7.1 liters.
The car has understeer.
There is also ABS, an emergency braking assist system. The engine is quite noisy, but it is the same on cheap foreign cars.
Lada Priora luxury: equipment, what is included?
These cars differ from each other in equipment:
In the basic configuration of the “standard” type, key design elements have been retained, which affect the high level of safety, namely:
- driver's airbag;
- reinforced body.
The “norm” version of the Priora is widely known to car owners; it was with this that the production of the Lada Priora sedan started.
Lada Priora "luxury"
Not so long ago, Priora was released in a luxury configuration. In addition to the “norm” configuration, these cars received:
- heated front seats;
- passenger airbag;
- anti-lock braking system;
- front fog lights;
- electric rear door windows;
- front seat belt force restrictions;
- doors and seats are upholstered in velvet in a wide range of colors;
- pretensioning mechanisms;
- central interior lighting lamp;
- Illumination of open doors and much more appeared on the front door trims.

Hyundai tucson 2016 (Hyundai Tucson) video review and test drive
“First impressions: the car needs to be rolled out, it doesn’t drive. There is no sound insulation, locks and door handles require improvement. The standard tires are noisy and dull. You’re riding like you’re on stumps.”
“In two difficult months, the car covered 18,000 km, but did not cause any problems. The chassis, in my opinion, is quite tolerable, the only thing is that a knock is heard in the right pillar when passing speed bumps. I came to the service, looked at it - everything is fine, they say it’s their illness. The brakes are not bad, 4"...
I compare the impressions of Moscow Prior owners with my own. The cars have the same 98-horsepower engines, so there are no fundamental differences in movement. The suspensions regularly absorb large bumps, but shake on small bumps. However, the gray car is more interesting at the level of nuances: it is more composed in corners, a little more stable on the way out, and absorbs road bumps more smoothly.

In the luxury version of Priora 2 we see exclusive interior trim and ebony panel trim. Chrome gear lever surround. The steering wheel has the same finish. In principle, a good design decision.
The Priora luxury salon looks much better than the salon of a regular Priora, and even more so a Granta. They could have added more sparkle to the seats. They are also a new model, and by themselves they already cost 19 thousand rubles. They have protection, but there are no height adjustments. They are adjustable only for the angle of inclination, but the mechanism for this has become better. There is a headrest, but it is not adjustable. We adjusted the armrest and made it at an angle. There is a cup holder.
There is also a rain sensor that automatically turns the wipers on and off. The light sensor also works (for example, the headlights automatically turn on when entering a tunnel). There is an option for automatic light control, front and rear fog lights, headlight height and backlight adjustment.
Side airbags. Moreover, the Lada Priora 2016 has them, not like in foreign cars in the roof or pillars, but in the backs of the front seats. There are also front airbags for front passengers, one of them in the steering wheel.
There is climate control, it works surprisingly quietly. Quite simple, the desired temperature is set and there are “Auto” modes or manual adjustment. It works well, maybe not as accurate as on foreign cars.
One of the changes in the luxury version is a heated windshield, but the negative point is that there are small stripes on it.
Another new option is stability control. But it is not visible on the panel whether it is turned on or not. The icon appears only when you turn on the ignition. A radio with a touch screen that can be activated by pressing a button. The speakers play well.

Description of the 2014 model
At the MOTOREXPO 2013 automobile show, which took place on September 27 and 29, the domestic auto industry VAZ presented the latest model VAZ 2172 hatchback. Its presentation was carried out in 4 body variations. The car has changed a little externally, but has received excellent additions inside the cabin and now has better technical features. With all this, it should be noted that after restyling the price increased slightly.
VAZ 2014 engineers worked a little on the exterior of the brand. The model is equipped with the latest optics, the daytime lights turn on automatically, you just need to turn the ignition key. Both bumpers have changed slightly, the grille is now mesh, fog lights with LED headlights. But otherwise, this modification has the same appearance, you can recognize the same dimensions and body.
The new Lada Priora is now available in 4 body versions: hatchback, coupe, station wagon and sedan. The wheelbase of the hatchback is 2492 mm, the ground clearance is 165 mm, this brand is 15 mm higher than the sedan.
VAZ 2172 is a Russian car with a hatchback body. This body model is in the same demand as the sedan. Their characteristics are almost indistinguishable from the sedan brand. They differ only in body data and interior trim. The Priora hatchback trunk has a larger capacity, especially if the rear seat is folded down.
Decor of plastic components
The sedan is equipped with a lot of plastic parts in the interior; fortunately, many of them have light colors and can be easily repainted. The process of painting plastic from an aerosol can requires not only a respirator and gloves, but also a degreasing liquid and a primer
During operation, it is important to prevent the formation of drips
Another way to improve the appearance of plastic elements is to cover them with carbon film. According to many car enthusiasts, this material is durable and looks impressive. The blanks are cut with a margin of 20-25 mm at the edges, after which the film is glued to a degreased surface. Edges and curves are blow-dried to prevent kinks and kinks.
Priora 1 salon – pros and cons
The interior of the VAZ-2170 received several basic details from its predecessor, the VAZ-2110, but the old car can only be recognized by its similar seat. Also, Priora pleased the driver and his passengers with softer seats. They were still not provided with lateral support, but a certain “breakthrough” was already felt. The internal design was radically different from the “ten”. The buttons on the instrument cluster housing have disappeared, and the center console has become brighter. If the instrument panel of the dozen was made in the style of the eighties, the Priora received a modern look - four scales standing next to each other were decorated with indicators on top, and there was a green display below. The interior of the Lada Priora is made in gray and black colors. If the steering column, dashboard and even the steering wheel were completely black, they decided to make the center console gray. On top it was decorated with an analog clock, which many owners changed to digital after purchase. Later, audio preparation and heater switches were installed. The interior of the first car turned out to be strict and ascetic - there are several pockets to put something you need, a spacious glove compartment, and there was only enough space in the back for three children or two adults. At the same time, it was difficult for an adult to fit his knees while sitting on the back sofa. After the start of operation, creaks appeared in the panel. The mileage winds up, and after 100,000 it begins to rattle - all this became a consequence of the fact that the fastenings of the casing began to loosen, the gaps between its individual parts increased, and narrowed.
But we should be upset about one important parameter of comfort - there is no sound insulation, so any rumble can be heard.
