VAZ-2171
VAZ-2171 LADA Priora - Russian passenger car with a body type of a wagon. Created on the basis of sedan LADA Priora (VAZ-2170). Serial production of commercial cars began on may 27, 2009. Until the end of may on the plan was 250 new universals, and sale via the dealer network began with a June 20, 2009 .
The car is a deep modernization of the VAZ-2111 with completely changed the design of the body, including the back part of the original body panels and lighting. Rear side Windows are installed without the plastic pads, changed their form (expanded up). The rear lights with the doors were transferred to the body, established with a vertical layout. The wheel arches trunk appeared bracket for fastening of a cargo.
For the first time Lada Priora station wagon was officially presented in October 2008 at the Krasnodar выставкеMobi 2008, but in fact the all-Russian presentation of the model, the family Priora took place at the Motor show Auto+automechnika in St. Petersburg on October 29, 2008. In December 2008, JSC "AVTOVAZ"has produced the first pilot batch of universals Lada Priora. In January 2009, under mass production of wagon was переналаженоштамповое production. Planned for the year 2009 the volume of production of universals Priora - 20 thousand. moreover, according to the representatives of AVTOVAZ, this figure can be adjusted in the direction of increase in connection with the rise of the interest to the family LADA Priora.
Model history
When the representatives of «AVTOVAZ» two years ago, said that they want to do Priora wagon, the wild delight of the news did not cause. Especially for those, who appreciates in the car not only its practical possibilities, but also the beauty. Because wagon on the basis of «dozens» not was refined forms. It was a barn.» The new station wagon, too, does not Shine grace, but he looks noticeably more interesting! Put a number of Priora and Lada-111 and you will understand everything. Thanks to sweaters up window line, other wings and the bumper, as well as a completely new lights, which are located right on the back of the truck, Priora is not already brings suicidal thoughts. Terrible to say, but designers Lada especially do not even want to blame! Except that the old «десяточные» the door a few spoil a very balanced appearance of the car. Yes, and that these doors were small changes - they got a new door handles under the «the natural fix».
Lada Priora station wagon (on-site index VAZ-2171) is produced in Togliatti since may 2009. The vehicle was built on the platform of sedan Lada Priora and differs from its соплатформенника, of course, other rear part and a spacious Luggage compartment. In the context of the review will try to find dignity, as well as disadvantages, Russian car with a body station wagon model Lada Priora.
The appearance of VAZ 2171 universal copies exterior design sedan and hatchback Priora entirely, but only to the door of the second row, then there are distinctions, positively affecting the landing of passengers rear of the series and the tonnage of the cargo compartment. The straight line of the roof and almost smooth scope of glass made it possible to significantly increase the doorway at the top, and get on the wagon to the rear seat definitely better than in sedan or hatchback. Фургоно-shaped feed, of course, does not look as a masterpiece of the designer's art, but a really well thought out and well from a practical point of view. Auto't look «the barn» in the profile, behind - the vertically situated lighting allowed to enter the correct rectangular door of the Luggage compartment cover, which is important with no great loading height.
Exterior and interior
Overall dimensions Priora station wagon: 4340 mm in length, 1680 mm in width, 1508 mm in height, with 2492 mm wheelbase and 165 mm ground clearance. The plant are installed tires with rims 175/65 R14 - 185/65 R14. In General, the body of the car makes a good impression, and in the production of more than half of the body parts are made of galvanized steel and low-alloy steel (not will roam rust, at least within a period of six years).
Now, let's see what's inside the new Lada Priora station wagon (VAZ 2171). Unlock, remote "to the key”, Central lock the car. And look - it should be noted that the rear (fifth) the door in Priora "universal” could be opened and at a greater angle. But at the opening of the problem - there may be problems with the loading of the position of things. By the way - there are three ways to open the back door - the standard key of the ignition lock button on the remote key alarm or from the interior of the car.
The Luggage compartment of new wagon deserves only praise - it is very spacious, and if you add up the rear seat (which now, in contrast to the first Prior hatchbacks, are easier), it turns out decent "Playground” with a flat floor and the volume of the Luggage in 777 litres, where there are bracing for the fixation of cargo.
Inside of us the first thing is interested in the rear seats (we are talking about universal car for the whole family), their transformation and, most importantly, the port capacity of the trunk. Sit down in the universal Lada Priora convenient and sit more comfortably than in the sedan and хэтчбеке Priora. Space for your legs in short supply, but over his head and, in General, significantly freely and comfortably. The trunk is in the stowed position with five passengers can seat up to 444 liters (loading on the bottom edge of the glass), folded the seats of the second row (have to remove the head restraints and invest a lot of effort and skill), we obtain 777 litres (by the glass). In the back seat, by the way, will be enough space not only for two passengers, but it is enough for three.Experimentally verified, that the loading of "ceiling” will provide the volume of about 1200 liters.
Luggage compartment is really impressive by its dimensions, refrigerator without any problems come, but how much of sacks of potatoes can be downloaded... it all depends on the owner. Do not forget that the capacity of the universal Приоры” is 505 kilogram. The trunk can be safely attributed to the merits of a car, but drawbacks of the interior, as well as the whole family of the prior - inconvenient front seats, floating the build quality of the interior and of the materials used, the inconvenient transformation of the seats.
Plus a large capacity of internal storage compartment, the Lada Priora even "in the database” there are already reylingi. These rails with three mounting on the roof (it is appreciated by those who remember the rails "the eleventh” model with two anchors - as they often broke).
On the driver's door, like the rest of the Prior, there are controls all the power Windows, mirrors and Central locking of the castle. The right hand of the driver can put on the arm, in the niche of which Lekko fit small and not very small things. Front seats in the "Lux” are equipped with heating.
The driver of the average growth will be quite enough space behind the wheel, you can adjust the tilt. And that's a tall drivers, may well miss the longitudinal adjustment of the seat. Glass up to the end do not fall in either the front or in the rear doors.
Technical equipment
For Lada Priora station wagon offered only one petrol engine 1.6-litre 16 CL. (98 HP). with 5 ITUC. Engine power, enough for a confident movement with a full cabin passengers and loaded to the max boot, but with the air conditioner on traction motor
He is quite powerful and тяговитый, its balanced characteristics of a good fit of the model and the conditions for which it is intended. Even with a full load machine easily accelerates, confidently pulls on from 2,000 to 2,500 rpm and quite vividly - 3000 rpm. Cruising speed easily be maintained at the level of 130-140 km/h. The main trump card of the engine in the other. The measured rate of movement on highway staff trip-computer showed fuel consumption 5.0 l/100 km. With the active drive on the same 300-kilometre stretch of the device showed the result of 6.0 l/100 km. The car when it was carrying three people, and the trunk was full of " no, not oranges, and more matter-of-fact cargoes.
Electric power - it is a pleasant and convenient opportunity to "turn the steering wheel with one finger” in the Parking lot. But when cornering, the speed, the better hold on with both hands - difficult to choose the right path. Which, by the way, not a few prevent and strong body roll of the body (but this is normal - it is all the same not hatchback).
Yes! - about the body, which became longer. In the universal Lada Priora rear visibility is not the same as on the saloons and хэтбеках, the cause, and increased the length of a body and head restraints on rear seats, which hindered the review. Therefore, the Declaration of the rear this system is no longer just a "trick”, but the harsh necessity.
The most important and necessary in a sling Lada Приоры is its energy intensity. When driving on rough country roads Harmony Priori only shakes, and during the test, she never touched the bottom of the earth.
Suspension of new wagon almost got rid of the disease of the last generation: «приоровские» shock absorbers (the same for all three bodies) bad coped with the work in the end, the car «козлила,» and riders - seasick. Even on the broken asphalt - which, by the way, in Kaliningrad and around quite a bit, machine now is quite comfortable, good holding trajectory.
Do not spoil the picture and stiffer springs, laid universal: the smoothness of the good. By the way, «Kalina-wagon», the impression of which are still alive after the slaughter of the test in the steppes of Kazakhstan, to behave on the speed, too, adequately; then, with the settings of the chassis of the new models of the «Vase» sorted out.
And will investigate further: in the future on the rear axle must be new, enlarged to the size of the buffers hang up, shock absorbers, and perhaps - and themselves shock absorbers with improved characteristics. And yet «Приоре» predicted automatic gearbox, 1.8-litre motor, side airbags...
Brake system «Приоры» - that's where, perhaps, disputes and there was no doubt at all. The eighth generation of ABS Bosch works precisely and predictably, ensuring good performance on braking and control on slippery surfaces.
It is particularly worth noting that there is no early response of the safety relief valve, the brake master cylinder - shiver on the pedals feel only when the wheel is already close to loss of traction. This affects not only comfort, but also the sense of the feedback from the brake pedal.
Disadvantages
On the shortcomings of the Lada. They, of course, are present. A drawback of the car can be attributed still not perfectly working mechanism of switching speeds. The complaints against him were still in the spring of 2007, when the sales were first sedans Priora. Then speed in the 5-step «mechanics» switched fuzzy (and sometimes they did «not want to» be the first time), the vibration on the lever were too large, and when you try switched on back of hand slammed into the driver's seat. Two years later, fundamental changes in the mechanism has not occurred. But all the same we shall note, that the rate began to be a little clearer, but the vibrations on the wings reduced. And there is a hope, that soon the situation with a box will improve dramatically - the head of the project Lada Priora Vitaly Козенков promised us that in the near future there will be a completely new mechanism of switching speeds.In the list of shortcomings need to be attributed, and the old chairs with no side support, in which people with bad backs feel is not the best way. But still, those seats are a bit better than the sedans Priora model of 2007 - they had a more prominent waist support, even though it is not about any of adjustment here speech does not go. And of course we to say about not ideally precise elements of the interior and front glass, which is omitted not completely.
As expected, in the movement of universal nothing of principle not different from the sedan or hatchback. Yes, of course, is not the stiffness of the body as to the same 5-door «хэтче», and stressed turns it felt. But it is not about any laxity of speech does not go. After all, universal received an additional amplifier on the roof, thanks to which he became noticeably stronger than its predecessor. Is that the visibility ago in the new model became worse (largely at the expense of others rear pillars and installed on the second row of seats head restraints). So simple this system, which is put on the version of «Lux», the Declaration is not luxury, but the means of security.
There is the «engine» and minus: the sound of his work can be heard in the cabin. But what is interesting - only with the dispersion and at low speed, and at 80-90 km/h noise power unit is not so audible. Contrary to expectations, in our car quietly behaved gearbox, familiar to two-wheel drive VAZ howling shafts and gears was not. However, four of the CP took the other - the «rut» lever, tight inclusion of first transfer, and the reverse. However, this binding is typical for many Russian models on the first thousand kilometers.
