VAZ 2114 luxury - equipment, luxury door cards, luxury trim

What is included in the package of the Luxury VAZ 2114?

VAZ 2114 Lux is an improved version of the “four”. It has additional options and is considered more comfortable. The interior of the VAZ 2114 Lux is trimmed with artificial leather with the addition of velor elements. The rear seat has head restraints. There are also ashtrays for passengers in the rear. The backlight has a function for adjusting the brightness of the light. The seats are equipped with inertial seat belts.

The Luxury VAZ 2114 package contains:

• Dashboard with a clock and temperature indicator, as well as other data indicators;
• Adjustment of instrument lighting;
• On-board computer;
• Heated front seats;
• Heated rear window;
• Electric windows for front windows;
• Athermal glass;
• Anti-glare side mirrors;
• Fog lights;
• Immobilizer.

The regular configuration does not have these options. Also in the luxury version the ventilation system has been improved. The dashboard has received additional functionality. It is made from higher quality materials. Therefore, the tidy of the luxury VAZ 2114 does not creak while driving.

The car comes with a full-size spare wheel, which is not available in the regular version. Improvements to the heating system made the interior warmer. But at the same time the noise level of the heater increased. Therefore, such powerful equipment causes complaints from some owners.

The presence of adjustable lighting for the instrument panel and interior lamp made driving in the dark more comfortable. This is also facilitated by the PTFs installed at the factory.

The answer to the question of how the VAZ 2114 Lux differs from the Standard is also the presence of door locks and an immobilizer. According to the manufacturer, this should increase the safety of the vehicle. But often, especially on used cars, these functions cause additional electrical problems. Sometimes they require an immediate solution. The same applies to electric windows, since the electrical equipment of this car turned out to be far from perfect. Perhaps it's poor design or build quality. But the VAZ 2114 is a budget car. Therefore, such problems are excusable for him. Fog lamps, anti-glare mirrors, and inertia belts are designed to increase vehicle safety. These decisions turned out to be successful and timely. And the advent of an on-board computer has made it much more convenient to independently diagnose and repair a car. After all, many errors are now easy to detect even without a special scanner. And all the codes are available on the Internet. But, despite the improvements, the car, according to many owners, lacks such modern functions as:

• Airbags;
• Anti-lock braking system;
• Power steering;
• Air conditioning or climate control;
• Factory audio preparation;
• Standard audio system.

The lack of audio training especially often irritates owners. To install music in a VAZ 2114, you have to install wires yourself, cut out seats for the speakers and carry out other related work. The car allows you to install only a simple 1din radio and speakers without significant effort and expense. Installation of more complex acoustic devices requires significant modification of the machine. And a weak generator may not be able to pull it at all. Also, some motorists complain about the fragile plastic trim on the sills. It cracks in the cold. Therefore, you have to either put up with the shortcomings or modify the finishing yourself.

The VAZ 2114 in the Lux version has become much more comfortable and safer. Therefore, the version is popular among fans of this model. And the convenient dimensions and excellent dynamic performance of this car sometimes allow you to turn a blind eye to a rather outdated design. VAZ 2114 is a good car for tuning. You can change the technical characteristics or appearance, and repairs are simple and cheap. Spare parts are inexpensive and are sold in every auto store. You can repair the “four” yourself without any special technical knowledge or professional equipment.

Reviews from car owners

Reviews from car owners will help you make a complete conclusion about the car’s reliability.

“I purchased a VAZ 2114 in 2004. By those standards, the car was fresh and stylish. But somehow it grew old too quickly: in the second year of operation, the engine liners were wrapped. Invested there. Then the exhaust pipe burned out. Replaced. Then the door handles began to break. This is generally the weak point of this unit. In winter, snow freezes under the tongue - until you push it off, you won’t get into the car. In summer, this tongue falls inside the handle, which also prevents access to the interior. I suffered a lot and invested a lot of money in the car. Finished off by the appearance of through rust in the bottom of the car. I always kept it clean, kept it in the garage, and did not go off-road. And here is the result: corrosion. I sold the “fourteenth” 5 years after the purchase and now I don’t even want to look in their direction. A real designer."

Yaroslav, Orenburg

“For me, the “fourteenth” is a real workhorse. For more than ten years now I have been making money from it: I take vegetables to the nearest city to sell. Because All spare parts for the car are inexpensive, repairs allow you to save money. It is roomy, easy to control, and starts reliably in cold weather. I have a basic configuration and the simplest engine - 1.5 liters. It is not a pity to use it to its fullest extent, and so far it copes with its tasks quite easily. A couple of years ago I only noticed that the body began to rot. I took it to a service center, painted it, and now the car looks like new. There were problems with the engine, but I fixed them myself.”

Pavel, s. Yantishevo

“I have no confidence in this car. My son bought it not long ago. The copy seems to be fresh - 2011, but inside it is like being in a tank. The engine is very loud, the suspension rattles, and there seems to be no sound insulation at all. It is unsafe to drive such a car - it will fall apart at any moment. He bought a car to work as a taxi, but he already invested more into it than he earned. And he’s even a little ashamed to transport passengers in this “domestic carriage”. Now the fourteenth one is in the garage - its starter has once again failed. Selling such a car further is a real crime. The only way out is to sell it for scrap.”

Inna, Tyumen

“I’ve been driving a 2010 VAZ 2114 with a 1.6 engine for four years now. I actively use the car and am amazed at how durable it is. Yes, there were problems with the power plant, but they were all easily resolved. On the fourteenth, my family and I go to nature, visit relatives 300 km away, and it always functions properly. On light off-road conditions, the car obeys the steering wheel and does not slip. It also handles quite confidently on a snowy track. There have been times when I got stuck in the winter, but this problem is common to all front-wheel drive cars. The only significant shortcomings of this machine are in the electrics. In severe frost, the rear lights periodically stopped working. I had to tinker with the wiring, rewind the wires and now the optics work properly. I recommend the car to those who like a quiet, measured ride and are not afraid to repair the car themselves.”

Andrey, Ekaterinburg

Features of the VAZ-2114

The VAZ-2114 car was conceived as a restyling of the “nine” - VAZ-2109. Therefore, it retained the main internal “filling” of its predecessor - the design features of the transmission and other car systems remained virtually unchanged.

But at the same time, an electronic vehicle control system was added, and the volume and number of engine valves was changed.

2114 lux

As engine power increased, the braking and damping system was modified. The gearbox has been improved with sealed bearings.

Like the Nine, the VAZ 2114 is a five-door hatchback. But the changes also affected the appearance - the outline of the hood changed, becoming less sharp, and moldings were added. The bumpers, made of durable plastic, were painted in the color of the car body. Fairings appeared on the door sills.

Description of appearance

The company's constructors and designers used new ideas and forms that allowed the model to stand out from the crowd. At first glance at the photo, you will notice the headlights, made in the form of narrow rectangles. This allows you not only to save space, but also to give the Lada 2114 an aggressive look. The company's engineers decided to use simple headlights, without modern LED technology. Of course, because of this, the radius and quality of the glow deteriorate slightly, but not critically.

Between the headlights there is a small radiator grille. This is due to the fact that the power unit does not require a large air flow for cooling. It is in this place that the handle for opening the hood is located, which is quite practical. This solution was invented quite a long time ago, but has only now been implemented. As for the bumper of the Lada 2114 car itself, everything is simple and monotonous.

The automaker's designers used simple plastic and special material to increase the service life of parts. A small feature worth mentioning is an interesting solution taken by the engineers. They raised the bumper slightly relative to the ground. This allows the car to move without problems not only on the city highway, but also on country roads.

On the side of the model there are rear-view mirrors made in the shape of rectangles. This solution allows the driver to monitor everything that is happening behind. The doors of the Lada 2114 car, which are equipped with a special opening mechanism, deserve special attention. This allows you to avoid discomfort when boarding and disembarking passengers.

The company's designers stated that the door opening angle is almost 90°. Not every car is capable of providing this kind of comfort for passengers and driver. Wheel rims are made using casting. This technology makes it possible to obtain very light and durable parts that last for many years.

The rear part of the Lada 2114 car is made using new ideas and solutions. In the photo you can see modified headlights that combine three signals: stop, reverse and turn. This solution is very practical and interesting, and also saves a little space. This kind of technology is used by almost all automakers.

A small feature of the Lada 2114 model is the spoiler, which allows you to increase road grip and dynamic characteristics of the car. The basic vehicle kit already includes the mentioned part. This means that even at a minimal cost, the client will receive additional dynamics and traction of the car with the road.

Some Lada 2114 drivers may encounter a problem during a shopping trip: the tailgate is not equipped with a special hand ledge. This can cause your fingers to get dirty if the door is dirty. If we talk about dimensions, the Lada 2114 is not very big. The length is about 4 m, but the width is 1.5 m. Despite all this, passengers and the driver will be quite comfortable during a long journey.

Summarize

LADA Samara was popular in the early 2000s due to its low cost, maintainability and novelty. They bought it because... It was difficult to find a foreign analogue in good condition. However, now there are no problems with competitors - they are all available in abundance on the secondary market. It’s hard to say what makes car enthusiasts buy domestic “fourteeners”. Possibly savings. Perhaps a desire to support AvtoVAZ.

However, in any case, when purchasing this car, it is worth remembering that it is no different in safety and reliability. And it is better to give preference to foreign competitors in which manufacturers have invested at least minimal options to ensure safe movement. Especially if you plan to use the vehicle to transport passengers. Savings are not appropriate here.

Characteristics of VAZ-2114 luxury

Like the base model, the VAZ 2114 Lux has the following characteristics:

• dimensions – 4122 mm (length)/1650 mm (width)/1402 mm (height);
• weight – 970 kg, payload – 425 kg;
• wheelbase – 2460 mm (front track – 1400 mm, rear track – 1370 mm);
• ground clearance - about 160 mm;
• gas tank volume – 43 liters;
• engine - depending on the date of manufacture: 1.6 liters, eight- or sixteen-valve. The first VAZ-2114 models were equipped with an eight-valve injection engine from the VAZ-2109.

A characteristic feature of both the “basic” model and the VAZ 2114 full luxury is its excellent aerodynamic performance.

The modified braking system allows for shorter braking distances. A spring suspension with an improved shock-absorbing system ensures vehicle stability and provides good grip on the road surface even under adverse conditions.

Both the braking system, the improved gearbox, and depreciation are the development of exclusively Russian engineers, aimed at optimizing and comfortable using the car.

Global automakers are always trying to invent something new. So the domestic automaker decided to keep up and release a car that will appeal to many car enthusiasts - the VAZ 2114 Lux.

A small feature of the model is its durability and ease of use: repairs do not require additional knowledge or large investments. All parts and spare parts are inexpensive. The first models were released back in 2008. It was this period that became a kind of breakthrough for the domestic automaker. Many experts even said that the 2114 model is a super car that keeps up with the times.

Car body and suspension

The VAZ 2114 is produced in the form factor of a 5-door hatchback B class with the ability to accommodate up to 5 people in the car. The vehicle dimensions are:

• The case length is 4122 mm;
• Width – 1650 mm;
• Body height – 1402 mm;
• Wheelbase – 2460 mm;
• Car body height – 160 mm;
• Front wheel axle width – 1400 mm;
• Rear axle width – 1370 mm;
• Wheel size – 175/70/R13

The front of the car has an independent spring type suspension, the rear structure is equipped with a semi-independent spring mechanism.
The front braking system is represented by brake discs that do not have the possibility of forced cooling through ventilation, the rear system is equipped with classic drums. The VAZ model 2114 of the last years of production has only 2 configurations, presented in a hierarchical line - the maximum vehicle support package, in addition to some improvements, completely duplicates the functions of the standard one.

Competitors

The VAZ 2114 has had many competitors at all times, and many drivers were amazed: why, with such a variety of foreign analogues, many car enthusiasts prefer the domestic “designer”. It's simple: getting spare parts for foreign cars was often problematic. You can repair a VAZ using improvised means. However, among the competitive models, several cars should be highlighted. The first of them is the Chevrolet Lacetti. This nimble and attractive car has excellent dynamic characteristics, great endurance and rich technical equipment. Its design, developed by the Italian studio Pininfarina in 2002, is still relevant today. The car, discontinued in 2014, is still in high demand on the secondary market.

Chevrolet Lacetti

The Opel Corsa is another compact car, famous for its high engine life and excellent handling. From the outside it seems that the Corsa is cramped and uncomfortable, but when you look into the interior, you are pleasantly surprised - everything here is laconic and thoughtful. The history of the Opel Corsa began in 1982 and continues to this day. In the line of its generations one can trace the history of improving engineering. The manufacturer switched from broken lines to exaggerated futuristic design back in 2000, a year later AvtoVAZ released the “square fourteenth”. In 2006, an updated version of the Corsa was born - with huge headlights, stylish moldings in the front part and an elegant body bevel. In the VAZ 2114, in addition to engine modifications, there were no more significant changes until the end of production.

Basic equipment from a domestic manufacturer

In its minimal equipment, the AvtoVAZ 2114 does not stand out for luxury, but the standard package in the car is enough for comfortable movement both around the city and during long trips. The minimum “Standard” package boasts the following assortment:

• Safety bars at the side doors of the body;
• Side mirrors with anti-dazzle function;
• Standard immobilizer and central locking;
• Function of electric door locking when the vehicle starts moving;
• Inertial seat belts for the front part of the cabin;
• Spare full-size wheel in the standard luggage compartment niche;
• On-board central panel with measuring sensors;
• Option to adjust the brightness of the central panel;
• Power windows for front doors;
• Ashtray for passengers in the back row of seats.

Also among the features of the “Standard” configuration are a combined steering wheel upholstery, as well as an interior reading light, an additional mirror for the passenger in the visor and the ability to adjust the steering wheel for reach.

On the exterior of the car, one immediately notices the stamped 13-inch wheels, as well as moldings and floor fairings. The starting price of the Lada 2114 from the official manufacturer starts from 271,300 rubles, however, for an additional fee, you can enhance the functionality of the car by installing sound insulation in the cabin or fog lights.

Technical part of the 8-valve engine

Structurally, these engines differ significantly from each other, although at first glance this is not the case. Of course, the crankshaft, connecting rods and piston group are all almost the same. The differences are mainly in the upper part, where the valves and camshaft are located. This is the main difference, although if desired, any 8-valve engine can be made into a 16-valve engine, and vice versa. Their cylinder block is almost identical, which means that theoretically you can install any head on it, with one or two camshafts.

An eight-valve engine has one camshaft, while a 16-valve engine has two. In both cases, the camshafts are controlled by the fuel injection system and the removal of exhaust gases from the combustion chambers. In technical terms, everything doesn’t look that complicated.

There are two valves on top of each cylinder: intake and exhaust. The inlet opens to supply fuel to the combustion chamber, the exhaust opens to remove gases. The camshaft regulates the order of their opening. There are protrusions on it in the form of cones, and when rotated they press on one or another valve to open. The engine has 4 cylinders, which means there are 8 valves in total.

pros

Simple is always more reliable, because the fewer parts, the less often the mechanism breaks down. This rule also applies to an 8-valve engine. There is only one camshaft, a minimum of attachments and few structural parts, which makes repairs easier and cheaper. Hydraulic compensators are not used; mechanical pushers are used instead. On the one hand, this simplifies the design and makes repairs cheaper. On the other hand, the thermal clearance of the valves has to be adjusted from time to time.

This engine works great with semi-synthetic motor oil. There are also no strict fuel requirements: both 95 and 92 can be used. Due to its design, the engine is small in size, which means it is easier to service and remove attachments.

Minuses

The main imperfection of this engine is insufficient power. Each cylinder has two valves. Accordingly, intake and exhaust flow slower, therefore the maximum speed is lower, and it will not be possible to develop a high speed. Due to the slow intake-exhaust cycle, there may be a slight increase in fuel consumption. The engine is forced to spend more energy pushing exhaust gases through the only exhaust valve per cylinder.

The disadvantages include increased engine noise when driving at high speed. Camshaft and valve pushers constantly require adjustment of the thermal clearance. If this is not done, production will gradually increase and increased noise will appear. The valves are also adjusted so that fuel consumption does not increase and the engine works better. In general, the engine can be characterized as simple and reliable, but requiring timely maintenance, like any other mechanism.

Salon and its features

The VAZ-2114 interior is equipped with a new dashboard. A heater with an updated design and fog lights appeared. The glass is tinted. Electric windows. The doors have central locks.

The steering wheel is from the “ten”. The steering column is adjustable. Thanks to this, the steering wheel does not interfere with the full view of the instruments on the panel. In addition, the driver’s position has become much more comfortable; the steering wheel is no longer in the way.

Due to the upholstery in light shades, the interior of the VAZ-2114 seems more spacious. The seats are soft and heated. The fabric is pleasant to the touch. The rear seats can be folded down if desired, turning a compact-looking car into a spacious cargo carrier. At the same time, the luggage compartment increases from the standard 330 liters to a full 600.

Interior

In the interior decoration of the fourteenth model, the designers miscalculated a little with the materials. For example, the fabric used for seat upholstery wore out after just a couple of years of active use, which is why drivers always had to use covers. The hard plastic used in the control panel begins to creak strongly in the cold, which causes some inconvenience to the car's passengers.

Torpedo Lada Samara (2114) 2001–13

There is no need to mention the sound insulation of the VAZ 2114 - there is practically none in the car. Meanwhile, the interior of the hatchback is compact and laconic. All control devices are located near the driver. The center console is even turned in his direction for convenience. In front of the front passenger there is only a glove box and a niche for small items.

The cabin capacity is four adults. And only of average height. It will be extremely uncomfortable for tall people in the back seat: firstly, the low ceiling will interfere, and secondly, there is too little distance between the rows of seats for knees.

The main convenience of this hatchback is the folding rear row of seats. By folding it, the driver will receive increased luggage space.
