Lada Priora 2011 technical specifications, configurations and prices

The popular domestic Lada Priora borrowed the tank volume from its predecessor. And many potential owners are interested in the question, how many liters are in the tank? We will definitely answer this pressing question in this material, and also tell you a lot of useful information about the Lada Priora tank, including what troubles to expect, how much it costs and most importantly, what is the capacity of the gas tank.

A short excursion into history, the legendary VAZ-2108 was equipped with a tank, the volume of which was absolutely the same as that of the VAZ-2110 later. The “Ten” has long been discontinued, and the Priora is being produced, but the capacity of the gas tank has not changed since the days of the “Eight”. At the same time, Lada Priora has its own personal article number (that is, catalog number) for the tank. The number is identical for each body: sedan, exactly the same for a station wagon and, accordingly, for a hatchback. According to numerous owners of the car we are considering, its tank volume is the most optimal, and all because Priora is a 100 percent city car with average fuel consumption in urban conditions and low fuel consumption on the highway. According to information from the car manufacturer, the tank volume is 43 liters, however, Lada Priora owners have found through experience that the tank capacity is actually up to 49 liters.

Catalog number and cost of the standard Priora fuel tank

The official article number for the Priora fuel tank is: 21082110101370. Its cost is 3.5-5.5 thousand Russian. rub. In addition, now you can easily purchase a used gas tank for our car in excellent condition. The price for such a tank varies between 1-2 thousand Russian. rub. You can also take into account that the Priora’s tank is exactly the same as that of the “eight” and “ten”, with the same volume.

General characteristics

Initially, the car was equipped with an 8-valve engine from the VAZ 2114, about which car enthusiasts in practice know all the characteristics, in particular, what kind of service life it has in different modes. Therefore, the first “Priors” did not receive rave reviews from customers.

Subsequently, the car was equipped with its own 16-valve unit modification 21126 with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 horsepower, which made the VAZ 2170 truly competitive. Dynamic performance has been improved, emissions into the environment and fuel consumption have been reduced. Relatively recently, an updated version of the 21127 engine with a power of 106 hp appeared. which has been installed on Priora since 2013. Comparative characteristics of all three units are given in Table 1.

How to remove and install a fuel tank yourself

In order to replace a faulty tank on a LADA Priora you will need the appropriate set of tools:

• Pliers.
• Wrenches included in the set.
• Screwdrivers, both Phillips and flathead.
• Heads included.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the fuel tank on a Priora with your own hands:

• The fuel tank of the Lada Priora should contain as little fuel as possible. Therefore, it is better to first use as many liters of fuel as are left in the car.
• The car will have to be driven onto an overpass, or, if desired, into a pit.
• At this stage, you have to remove the rear sofa and fold back the carpet, under which the fuel pump cover is actually located.
• The cover is secured with a pair of screws, which must be unscrewed and the cover removed. You will see a device called a fuel pump.
• The wire block can be disconnected by bending the special clamp.
• We start the engine and wait until it stalls.
• Let's compare the pressure. This is done with the help of a starter, which needs to be turned for 3 seconds.
• Remove the “-” terminal from the battery.
• Squeezing the plastic clamp, disconnect the fuel pump tube from the fitting.
• We do the same with the second fitting.
• Now you should loosen the clamp of the air outlet hose and remove it from the pipe.
• We remove the tube that is responsible for draining the fuel from the special compartment of the separator. This can be done by clamping the latches on the sides.
• We also disconnect the hose going from the filler pipe to the tank nozzle.
• Remove the 2 clamps holding the gas tank.
• If you need to completely replace the tank, you will need to change all the supply hoses without exception. Don't forget to remove the air outlet hose from the tank fitting.
• Return to the place where you removed the cover under the rear seats. Make sure that the nut securing the “-” is removed.
• We remove the wire.
• Remove the pressure ring; for this purpose you need to remove 7 nuts.
• We remove the pump very carefully; when removing it, you need to tilt it slightly to the side so as not to damage the fuel sensor.
• There is a rubber O-ring on the gas tank flange. It needs to be replaced because it becomes cracked over time.
• The neck plug through which fuel is poured into the pipe must be removed, after which we remove the lower bracket on which it is supported. It is important to remove the top bracket only after this.
• We remove the upper end from the filling pipe, or rather from its facing part, then remove the pipe. After this we remove the facing part. You can put the elastic back if it is not damaged.
• Remove the hose from the filler neck.
• After everything has been removed carefully and in the correct order, you can install a new unit, and if necessary, replace all seals, gaskets and hoses that are damaged, even if they are minor. Correct work will ensure stable operation of the fuel sensor and fuel pump.

Updates and shortcomings

The table clearly shows how many horses the Priora had with the old power plant and how the power and torque changed as the update progressed. Here is a description of how the design features of the new units changed compared to the old ones:

1. The number of valves has increased, there are 4 of them for each cylinder. It's no secret what a positive impact this factor has on engine performance. The filling of the cylinder with the combustible mixture improves, the chamber is qualitatively emptied of combustion products (exhaust gases), the operation of the unit becomes more stable, power increases while fuel consumption decreases.
2. The compression ratio is increased by increasing the piston stroke. The new engine 21126 and 21127 now uses gasoline with a higher octane number, but at the same time the efficiency of fuel combustion increases, which has a positive effect on power. It’s impossible not to notice how the working volume of the Priora’s engine has increased thanks to the increased piston stroke.
3. In modification 21127, compared to 21126, the intake manifold was modified. How this affected the engine performance of the Priora can be seen in the table. Power increased by 8 hp. in addition, performance at low and medium speeds has improved.
4. The new engines on the Priora have better environmental performance and lower fuel consumption. This was achieved through such improvements as modernizing the crankcase ventilation system and reducing the weight of the piston group. Now crankcase gases are burned more intensively in the cylinders and the emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere has decreased.
5. Over the many years of operation of VAZ vehicles, a definite opinion has developed that the power units of Zhiguli cars do not last 150 thousand km until they are overhauled. Now, due to the use of new, higher quality components, the engine life has increased to at least 200 thousand km.

Despite the fact that the updated Priora engine is almost the most advanced domestic unit, it has its drawbacks. For example, when a timing belt breaks, the valves inevitably collide with the pistons and bend - this is its most serious drawback. How to eliminate it without waiting for trouble? It is necessary to replace the standard pistons with new ones, with special selections for the valves.

The remaining shortcomings are not so significant and they are usually associated with some kind of defect that can still be found on domestic cars. This could be increased noise from the operation of hydraulic compensators (often found on VAZ cars), an unexpectedly burnt gasket under the cylinder head, or floating idle speed. Or some unit of the attached equipment fails:

• a drop in fuel pressure in the system leads to difficulty starting the Priora engine and loss of its power;
• sensor malfunctions;
• air leaks in the fuel tract through the pipes;
• problems with the injector throttle valve.

How long does a full tank last in a Priora?

Like any other car, the Lada Priora in a sedan body, and even in a station wagon body, and accordingly a hatchback, has a certain gas tank capacity. How long you can drive if your car's tank is full depends greatly on where you're driving (in the city or on the highway), as well as on your driving style.

Not everything depends on the human factor; how many liters of fuel will be consumed while driving is also influenced by the cost of the power unit. LADA Priora is equipped with a 1.6 liter engine. with 8 and 16 valves, power 81l/str, 87l/str, 98l/str, and even 106l/str. Plus, after restyling in 2013, the car began to be equipped with a robotic gearbox. However, the most popular option among consumers remains a 16-valve engine with a power of 98 l/hp with a manual transmission. Based on this aggregate, we have given approximate calculations.

Chip tuning of the Priora engine

For fun, you can play with the sports firmware, but there will be no obvious improvement; see how to properly increase the power below.

Priora engine tuning for the city

There are legends that the Priora’s engine produces 105, 110 and even 120 hp, and the power was underestimated to reduce taxes, various measurements were even taken in which the car produced similar power... what everyone decides to believe, let’s focus on the indicators declared by the manufacturer. So, how to increase the power of a Priora engine, how to charge it without resorting to anything special, for a small increase you need to let the engine breathe freely. We install a receiver, a 4-2-1 exhaust, a 54-56 mm throttle body, and we get about 120 hp, which is quite good for the city. Boosting the Priora engine will not be complete without sports camshafts, for example, STI-3 camshafts with the configuration described above will provide about 140 hp. and it will be fast, an excellent city motor. The refinement of the Priora engine goes further, sawn cylinder head, Stolnikov 9.15 316 shafts, light valves, 440cc injectors and your car easily produces more than 150-160 hp.

Compressor for Priora

An alternative method of obtaining such power is to install a compressor, for example, the most popular option is an Auto Turbo kit based on PK-23-1, this compressor is easily installed on a 16-valve Priora engine, but with a lower compression ratio. Then there are 3 options: 1. The most popular, lower the coolant gasket with a gasket from a twelve-wheeler, install this compressor, exhaust on 51 pipes, Bosch 107 injectors, install it and go to the track to watch the car go down. But the car doesn’t run very well... then running to sell the compressor, writing that the Autoturbo doesn’t work and all that... is not our option. 2. We lower the coolant by installing a thick cylinder head gasket from 2112, for a St. Petersburg supercharger at a pressure of 0.5 bar this will be enough, we select the optimal narrow-phase shafts (Nuzhdin 8.8 or similar), exhaust 51 pipes, Volga BOSCH 107 injectors, receiver and throttle valve standard. To fully push the configuration, we give the cylinder head to cut the channels, install larger lightweight valves, this is not expensive and will provide additional power throughout the entire range. This whole thing needs to be configured online! We’ll get an excellent engine that can perform in any (!) range with a power of more than 150-160 hp.3. We lower the coolant by replacing the piston with a tuning one for the turbo, you can put a proven Nivov piston with a puddle under the turbo on 2110 connecting rods, on such a config you can put a more efficient compressor, a Mercedes one for example, blowing 1-1.5 bar with a power well over 200+ hp . and act like the devil! ) The advantage of the config is the ability to install a turbine on it in the future and blow out at least all 300+ hp. if the piston doesn't go to hell))

Boring the Priora engine or how to increase the volume

Let's start with how you don't need to increase the volume, an example would be the famous VAZ 21128 engine, don't do that)). One of the easiest options to increase volume is to install a motorcycle kit, for example STI, we choose it for our 197.1 mm block, but do not forget about the jambs of the 128 engine, do not rush to install a long-stroke elbow. You can go the other way and purchase a high block 199.5 mm Priora, 80 mm crankshaft, bore the cylinders to 84 mm and a connecting rod 135.1 mm pin 19 mm, this will give a total of 1.8 volume and without damage to R/S, the engine can be twist freely, install evil shafts and squeeze out more power than a regular 1.6l. To spin your engine even more, you can build up a standard block with a plate, how to do this, how it spins on a 4-throttle intake and wide shafts, and most importantly, how it runs is shown in the video below, watch:

Attention MAT (18+)

Priora on throttles

To increase the stability of the engine and the response of the gas pedal, 4 throttle bodies are installed on the intake. The bottom line is that each cylinder receives its own throttle valve and, thanks to this, resonant air vibrations between the cylinders disappear. We have more stable engine operation from bottom to top. The most popular method is to install a 4-throttle intake from Toyota Levin on a VAZ. You need to purchase: the unit itself, make an adapter manifold and pipes, in addition to this you need a nulevik filter, Bosch 360cc injectors, DBP (absolute pressure sensor), fuel pressure regulator, wide shafts (phase over 300), sawing cylinder head channels 40/35, light valves, Opel springs, rigid pushers, spider exhaust 4-2-1 on 51 pipes, or better yet, on 63 pipes. There are ready-made 4-throttle intake kits on sale that are quite suitable for use. With the correct prior configuration, the engine produces about 180-200 hp. and more. To go beyond 200 hp. on a VAZ atmosphere, you need to take shafts like STI Sport 8 and spin them at 10,000 rpm, your engine will produce more than 220-230 hp. and this will be a completely hellish drag cramp. The disadvantages of chokes include a reduction in engine life and this is not surprising, because even city engines on pipes spin at more than 8000-9000 rpm or more, so you cannot avoid constant breakdowns and repairs of the 21126 Priora engine.

Priora turbo engine

There are many methods for building a turbo Prior, let's look at the urban version as it is more suitable for use. Such options are most often built on a TD04L turbine, Niva pistons with grooves, ideally Stolnikov 8.9 shafts, USA 9.12 or similar, 440cc injectors, 128 receiver, 56 damper, exhaust on a 63 mm pipe. All this junk will give more than 250 hp, and how it will go, watch the video

Attention MAT (18+)

What about the serious Valilov? To build such engines, we leave the bottom the same on a reinforced block, sawn head, Nuzhdin 9.6 shafts or similar, rigid studs from the 8th valve, pump more than 300 l/h, injectors plus or minus 800cc, install the turbine TD05, direct-flow exhaust on the 63rd pipe. This set of iron will be able to pump 400-420 hp into your Prior motor; for a light car weighing a little more than a ton, this is enough to fly into space)

How much fuel does Priora consume?

The configuration indicated above on the LADA Priora consumes: for every 100 km of travel in city mode 9.8 liters, while driving on the highway - 5.6 liters, and accordingly in the combined cycle the consumption will be 7.2 liters. If you fill the entire volume of the car’s tank, it will be able to cover the following distances: when driving around the city it will be enough for 439 km, while driving on the highway the distance will be 768 km, and accordingly in the combined cycle – 598 km. Of course, these are average figures, and it is unlikely that every driver will have exactly these figures. As mentioned above, everything depends on many factors. However, theoretically, the capacity of the gas tank allows you to travel approximately above the specified distances.

Exterior

Lada Priora 2008 technical specifications, equipment and prices
Reviews from owners say that the front part has a solid and even dynamic appearance. The main concept in creating the new appearance was X-design. The side X-stampings and narrow chrome trims look especially impressive, highlighting the new head optics. The fog lights also stand out interestingly. On the sides, the designers also used the X-style. The wheel arches turned out to be modest, but at the same time they do not look unnatural - they complement the overall picture. The roof line is made in the form of a dome. The line under the windows is smooth, as before. The rear of the car will also not leave anyone indifferent. The back is made very elegantly. The rear window has a large slope due to the roof. The trunk, which has now become a little shorter, with a protruding rib, now looks more massive. In the new post-restyling version of the car, a new hood was added. It is made in the shape of the letter U. If you look at the photographs, it is the front bumper that especially stands out.

In its new version, it has received rather intricate forms. Now it has significantly more transitions and original elements. The Priora body kit includes folding mirrors equipped with LED turn signal repeaters. The bumper has acquired a very massive appearance with a deep space for a license plate.

Factors affecting the service life of the VAZ 2170

According to the manufacturer, the ICE 21126 with sixteen valves has a stable operation duration of 200 thousand kilometers. After a certain mileage it is necessary to carry out major repairs. Taking good care of the VAZ 2170, proper maintenance (MOT) and timely replacement of damaged components and parts will lead to a long service life of the vehicle.

Reasons affecting the service life of the power unit:

1. Engine overheating. Elevated temperatures of a running engine negatively affect the overall service life of the motor. Maintaining the operating temperature of the power unit elements at a constant level significantly extends its operating time.
2. Fuel. The vehicle's owner's manual contains detailed information about the recommended brand of gasoline. Filling the 16-valve Priora engine with fuel must be of proven quality.
3. Machine oils. Which oil is best to fill, its brand and how much lubricant is needed is indicated in the accompanying documentation for the car. The 126 sixteen valve engine accepts semi-synthetic and synthetic motor oils most well. A complete oil change should be carried out annually or after a mileage of 15 thousand kilometers.

The optimal operating engine temperature is 90 - 95 °C. The rules allow the power unit to operate at temperatures reaching up to one hundred degrees, provided that the radiator fan is running. The engine temperature is considered low if it is below +90°C. In cold weather, it takes more time to warm up the engine to the desired mark on the device.

Test drives Lada Priora

The “Priora” family now has a complete set, in addition to the available model variants with “sedan” and “hatchback” bodies, a station wagon has been added. Moreover, changes occurred not only with the car body.

The AvtoVAZ company presented the next version of “Lada Priora”. Two main innovations are the hatchback body and the luxury package, which has such useful functions as climate control, parking sensors, an additional airbag for the passenger, ABS...

The flagship VAZ model represents a further development of cars of the “tenth” family. Undoubtedly, “Priora” differs from them in many ways. However, despite all the innovations, the debutante does not yet reach the level of its foreign competitors.

Clearance priors - indicators and its increase.

When purchasing a car, the future owner evaluates a number of indicators that must primarily meet the characteristics of future operation or the conditions of the region in which the car will be used. Considering the poor quality of roads in certain parts of Russia, such a concept as vehicle clearance plays an important role.

General characteristics of the car. Few passenger cars can compare the design ground clearance with off-road cars, but high ground clearance is only important in combination with other vehicle characteristics. If we consider the ground clearance of the priors, then, on the one hand, everything is very clear here: this figure in this model is 165 mm.

But in order to assess the sufficiency of this indicator, it is necessary to additionally consider such indicators as: 1 Total length of the car. 2 Length of front and rear overhang. 3 Wheelbase of the car. 4 Vehicle track width. 5 The presence of protruding elements under the bottom of the car. 6 Changing the ground clearance of a fully loaded vehicle.

Why does the engine stall?

Frequently encountered breakdowns of this power unit include such defects as unstable operation and engine tripping. Such failures occur due to malfunctions in engine components and parts:

• decrease in fuel pressure;
• defects in gas distribution mechanism elements;
• sensor malfunctions;
• violation of tightness in hoses;
• faulty throttle valve.

The power of the power unit is reduced for the following reasons:

• low compression in one or more cylinders;
• burnout of gaskets;
• wear of cylinder walls;
• erasing piston rings;
• deformation of pistons under the influence of high temperatures.

Engine friction can be eliminated by flushing the injectors. The reasons for unstable operation of the power unit may lie in the malfunction of the following devices:

• spark plugs for Priora 16 valves;
• ignition coil;
• throttle valve;
• idle air control;
• battery;
• starter;
• ignition coil;
• gasoline pump;
• fuel filter;
• fuel pressure regulating device.

You can replace the spark plugs on Priora yourself. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the principles of correct selection and replacement of these nodes, described in special articles on the Internet.

Over the entire period of its existence, this factory version has become the most popular among users of this product. This is due to the low cost, as well as the practicality of the new car. Let's look at Priora Norma Plus: what's included and how it differs from Lux.

Additional roof rack

If it seems to you that even the luggage compartment volume in the Lada Vesta Cross will be small for you, then it’s time to look at a special luggage box on the roof of the car - an excellent solution for everyone who lacks the main space of the luggage compartment of the car. Most often, such options are used by fans of car travel - a plastic box is attached to standard roof mounts, holding from 200 to 400 additional liters. The body of such a trunk is usually protected from moisture, dust and dirt. As for aerodynamics, its streamlined front part copes well with oncoming wind flows. But, nevertheless, there is an increase in air resistance.

Thus, by purchasing a similar gift for your Lada Vesta sedan, you can increase the total luggage space above 1000 liters. An additional trunk is an excellent solution for anyone who often transports large items.

The hatchback body combines not only sporty features, but also has a spacious luggage compartment. We decided to take a closer look at the trunk of the Lada Priora hatchback, identify its advantages and find its disadvantages.

According to the technical characteristics, the trunk volume is 360 liters, and with the rear seat backs folded down it increases to 705 liters, and the area turns out to be large and flat.

The popular magazine AutoReview published a review in which the Lada Priora hatchback was compared with its competitors (Chevrolet Lacetti, Renault Sandero and ZAZ Chance). If we talk only about the cargo capabilities of these cars, then the Priora was in first place, because The hold and cargo area (trunk depth) with the seat folded turned out to be the largest.

It is worth noting that the process of transforming the interior is inconvenient and will require at least 2 minutes of time, while competitors do it much faster. To fold the back seat you will have to:

1. lower the airbag lock, pull the strap firmly, holding it with your knee
2. loosen the tight “soldiers” of the backrest
3. remove the headrests by squeezing the awkward plastic washers

Are you planning to transport large cargo? Evaluate the capabilities of the trunk in advance; its main dimensions are as follows:

If you often use the trunk of a car, we recommend installing protective covers on the bumper.

Interior

Inside, the Lada Priora has a modern and attractive interior, although the build quality and finishing materials still require the best. There is a massive 3-spoke steering wheel, decorated with the company's nameplate. Behind the steering wheel there is a dashboard with 2 shallow “wells” and a monochrome screen located between them, displaying information from the trip computer. Visually everything looks good, but readability suffers.

The center console has a 7-inch multimedia system screen, which has touch control. Below it are two deflectors of the ventilation system, which have a rectangular appearance and a neat music control unit. Next comes the climate system settings panel, which is represented by 3 round controls.

During the assembly of the interior of the updated Lada Priora, inexpensive, mostly hard plastic was used. The center console is finished in black lacquer, and the seats are upholstered in fabric. As for the assembly of the sedan itself, no questions arise, but noticeable joints can be seen between individual elements. Top modifications will receive an advanced multimedia system (CD, MP3, USB and Bluetooth). Optionally, you can install a navigation system that recognizes GPS and GLONASS signals.

Common faults and maintenance recommendations

As even the average person knows, perfect technology has not yet been invented. All existing mechanisms have a certain service life, after which they quickly lose most of their operational characteristics, or even fail altogether.

It’s a completely different matter when the problem lies in the vulnerability of some components in a completely serviceable unit. Let us immediately note that the next section of this publication will be devoted to the question of interest to many car enthusiasts, whether the VAZ 21116 power plant bends the valves. The most common problems with this type of engine include:

1. The most vulnerable point of the Priora engine is the gas distribution system. Most often, timing rollers fail. Also, special control is required over the tension of the timing belts and generator;
2. vigilant attention must be paid to the cooling system so as not to miss a radiator leak, which is one of the most common malfunctions;
3. in addition, the condition of the throttle valve requires constant monitoring, since its malfunctions lead to breakdown of other functionally important parts of the unit;
4. Also, a necessary condition for trouble-free operation of the engine is regular checking of the functionality of the spark plugs.

By following a few simple rules for caring for the engine, you can go longer without the manifestation of the listed malfunctions of the VAZ 21116. You can significantly increase the resource of the power plant declared by the manufacturer by following the suggested recommendations:

1. Vigilant monitoring of the thermostat indicators will allow you to detect in time the possibility of impending overheating of the engine. Timely measures taken will make it possible to avoid many troubles;
2. in case of overheating of the power unit, it is strictly not recommended to allow it to cool rapidly in order to protect engine parts and components from deformation;
3. Fill the unit only with high quality lubricant and fuel at proven gas stations. It is also necessary to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the brand of oil and gasoline.

Of course, timely technical inspection is not the least important thing. Regular activities will allow you to detect upcoming problems in time and eliminate them.
