To understand which car is better, let's look at the technical facts in this article. Grant until 2013, or 14, was more budgetary than Priora. What is better: a frank state employee, or a car with a hint of more high class? Everything changed with the advent of the liftback body. Lada Granta has become less budgetary, or even with a hint of good door closing! Priora, even in restyling, did not receive such improvements. Choosing a car for yourself domestic production, several “closer” cars immediately stand out.

Until 2018, Priora was manufactured in hatchback, station wagon and coupe bodies. Granta comes in Hatchback, Liftback, sedan or Sport body styles. The Priora was not produced in a liftback body, and then you will have to figure out what kind of body it is and how it differs from a standard sedan. For comparison, we will take the Priora in sedan, hatchback and station wagon bodies and the Granta liftback - the most popular body shapes of these models among domestic car enthusiasts.

When choosing, all the pros and cons are weighed according to the main parameters, and only after that the prices of the cars are compared. The Granta luxury costs the same as the base Priora, but this should not be the deciding factor when choosing. Remember, when it comes to inspecting the car and the acceptance certificate, a lot will depend on the quality of the assembly - it varies from batch to batch, and there is a risk of running into a poorly assembled car.

Model design

When choosing between several cars, they often look first at the design and interior - the car should be pleasing to the eye. It’s impossible to say which is better: the Granta liftback or the Priora station wagon – “there’s no match for the taste and color of a friend.” It will be enough to give an objective overview of the design concept of these models.

Serial production of the Lada Priora (VAZ-2170) began in 2007. The car became a continuation of the “ten” family, the body underwent minor changes, but someone still recognized the “ten”. In 2013, it was restyled, DRLs were added to the “droplet headlights”, the rear lights and bumpers were changed, slightly “modernizing” the body. Priora looks rather modest, but is quite consistent with its class of budget cars.

Granta is the first car with smoother design features produced by AvtoVAZ. The model was developed on the basis of the Lada Kalina and received the number VAZ-2190 (sedan body). Started in 2014 mass production Granta liftback (received the number VAZ-2191). In 2018, there was a global restyling of the entire Grant line and their design underwent significant changes, now the car began to look more aggressive and modern.

Comparison of bodies and wheelbases

Continuing to think about which is better: Granta liftback or Priora sedan, we also pay attention to the dimensional parameters: it shouldn’t be cramped in your favorite car.

For the Lada Priora sedan, the parameters are as follows:

Length – 4350 mm;
Width – 1680 mm;
Height – 1420 mm;
Wheelbase 2492 mm;
Front track width 1410 mm;
Rear track width 1380 mm.

For Lada Granta liftback:

Length 4246 mm (after restyling - 4250 mm);
Width 1700 mm;
Height 1500 mm;
Wheelbase 2476 mm;
Front track width 1430 mm;
The rear track width is 1414 mm.

The body dimensions of the two models are approximately the same (except that the Granta is taller), but the Granta looks larger than the Priora due to the raised hood and wider radiator grille. In the liftback body, the trunk lid turns into a mixture of the fifth door of a hatchback and the trunk door of a sedan, due to which it looks a little higher than Grants in other bodies. The Granta's wheelbase is about 1.5 cm longer, which is not so noticeable on the road - the cars are equally good off-road.

Body paintwork and metal thickness

Continuing the conversation about which is better: the Priora hatchback or the Granta liftback, we cannot fail to mention the thickness of the metal and paintwork. The thickness of the metal and the thickness of the paint and varnish coating (and the quality of its application) determine how the car will look after several years of operation. The thickness of the metal also ensures passive safety– the larger it is, the less damage from an accident.

At Granta, the paint and varnish coating is applied in 6 layers - according to the standard for the production of foreign cars, its thickness on average is 98 microns, the thickness of the metal is 0.6 mm. Priora has a paintwork thickness of 67 to 100 microns, and a metal thickness of 0.8 mm.

Gas tanks

The gas tank of the Lada Priora was inherited from its predecessor - the VAZ-2108, the first generation Samara. Very for a long time The tank volume on VAZ cars did not change and remained the same - 43 liters. The Lada Grant has an enlarged gas tank with a volume of 50 liters.

Chassis, ground clearance

The Priora has a ground clearance of 165 mm in the pre-facelift version and 170 mm in the restyled version. The chassis is extremely simple: the front suspension is independent spring, the rear suspension is semi-independent spring. There are ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear.

For the Granta in the liftback body, the ground clearance in the pre-restyling version was 160 mm, in the restyled version it was 190 mm. The Granta has an independent spring suspension at the front, made by McPherson, and a semi-independent spring at the rear. New front strut supports were installed, the longitudinal stabilizer was increased and the stabilizer was modified lateral stability. The front brakes are ventilated disc brakes, the rear brakes are drum brakes.

Both front-wheel drive cars are city cars, and in terms of cross-country ability in rural areas, the Lada Priora is still inferior to the restyled Granta liftback. Thanks to the improved suspension and higher ground clearance, the restyled Grant passes through bumps and holes better than the pre-restyling version.

Box

The Priora is equipped with a five-speed gearbox, which it inherited from the VAZ-2110, only with a gearbox drive mechanism with closed bearings. Since 2013, the car has also been equipped with a five-speed robotic gearbox, which was developed on the basis of a closed project for a manual transmission. It has been modified so well that it reduces consumption when traveling around the city by 1 liter per 100 km, but it also develops errors after several thousand km of driving around the city - an electronic error.

In Grant you can choose:

Five-speed manual transmission (developed by AvtoVAZ, index – VAZ-2181. Equipped with a new gear selection mechanism, double-cone synchronizer for first and second gears, cable drive and reduced filling capacity);
Five-speed “pure” automatic transmission (developed by Jatco based on an automatic transmission project from the 90s);
Four-speed robotic automatic transmission (developed by VAZ, index – VAZ AMT 2182. Equipped with multi-cone synchronizers).
You can always choose a reliable manual transmission and not be afraid of the difficulties of repairs or changing the oil in the box. But if you love comfort, then take a closer look at a car with an automatic transmission - despite the fact that the box is built on the basis of an automatic transmission from the 90s, it works very well.

Engine performance and fuel consumption

The pre-styling Priora works with eight-valve engines:

With a power of 81 hp. Maximum speed– 172 km/h. It accelerates to hundreds in 13.5 seconds. Fuel consumption in the city per 100 km – 9.8 l;
Engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 87 hp. Maximum speed – 176 km/h. Up to a hundred – 12.6 s. Consumption in the city – 8.6 liters per 100 km;
Engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. Maximum speed – 183 km/h. It will accelerate to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. Consumption in the city is 9.8 liters per 100 km.

The restyled Priora works with “old” and new sixteen-valve engines:

“Engine” with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 106 hp. Maximum speed – 183 km/h. It accelerates to “hundreds” in 11.5 seconds. In city mode it consumes 8.9 liters per 100.
“Engine” with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. Maximum speed – 183 km/h. Accelerates to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. In the city - 9.1 liters per 100.
“Engine” with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 123 hp. Maximum – 190 km/h. Acceleration to 100 km/h in 10 seconds. Consumption is 7.2 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle. This is a sports version - Lada Priora Sport.

The pre-restyling Grant is equipped with:

Engine 21116/11186 only with manual transmission: 8 valves, 87 hp. With. (Maximum speed – 166 km/h, acceleration to 100 km/h – 12.4 seconds, urban consumption – 9 l per 100),
Engine 21126 only with automatic transmission: 16 valves, 98 hp (Maximum speed - 167 km/h, acceleration to 100 km/h - 13.7 seconds, city consumption - 10.1 l/100 km),
Engine 21127: 16 valves, 106 l. strength, with dynamic charging system
with mechanics: Maximum speed – 179 km/h, acceleration to 100 km/h – 10.9 seconds, city consumption – 8.6 l/100 km;

with a “robot”: Maximum speed – 179 km/h, acceleration to 100 km/h – 12.3 seconds, city consumption – 9 l/100 km.

The restyled Grant is equipped with:

Engine (works with manual transmission) with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 87 hp. Maximum speed – 171 km/h, acceleration – 11.8 seconds to “hundreds”, city consumption 9.1 liters per 100 km;

Engine (works with automatic transmission) with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. Maximum speed – 174 km/h, acceleration – 13.3 seconds to “hundreds”, city consumption 9.9 liters per 100 km;
Engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 106 hp. Max. speed – 183 km/h
with manual transmission: acceleration to “hundreds” – 10.6 seconds, consumption in the city – 8.7 l/100 km;

with the “robot”: acceleration to 100 “hundreds” – 12.1 seconds, consumption in the city – 8.7 l/100 km.

Salon

When choosing between Priora and Granta, one cannot help but discuss. In the Priora there is much less space than in the Grant, but the contents are different - even in the days of the pre-restyling version, the Priora had a good center console, which would “wipe the nose” of the pre-restyling Grant, but the seats in the Grant were better than in the Priora.

Restyling of the Priora in 2013 gave the car comfortable seats with slight lateral fixation (in the manner of sports cars), as well as a modern multimedia system in the maximum configuration. The multimedia display on the maximum configuration of Grants, according to reviews from owners, does not immediately respond to presses. Granta can boast of comfortable seats even in the first generation. In the restyled version, the basic player began to vaguely resemble the new Renault Logan.

Price for minimum and maximum configurations

Production of the Priora has already ended, but car dealerships continue to sell off the remaining stock. The cost of the basic configuration excluding discounts is 424,900 rubles, the maximum is 533,400 rubles. Please note that discounts can be very serious (up to 100,000 rubles), and the gift may include something useful - insurance or the necessary driver’s kit, as well as free service from the dealer for a certain period after purchase.

The cost of the minimum configuration of Grants liftback is 419,900 rubles, the maximum is 608,800 rubles. Pre-restyling versions are sold at a discount, but not as serious as that of the Priora - you can count on a discount of 80,000 rubles from at least one salon.

Trunk

The Granta has a trunk volume of the pre-restyling version - 440 liters (restyling - 435 liters), with the seats folded down - 760 liters (restyling - 750 liters). The Priora sedan has a trunk volume of 430 liters, but the station wagon may be of interest - the trunk volume is 444 liters, and with the seats folded down - 777 liters.

LADAvodov's opinion

Lada Priora Sedan

My opinion

Based on experience, I can answer the question which car is better - Lada Granta or Priora. When purchasing, I leaned toward the second option due to the higher cost. Plus, it is positioned as the flagship of the domestic automotive industry. There is not much space in it, but it can safely be called B-class.

Initially, the creation of the Priora was aimed at improving the version of the 10th family. And Granta is a cheaper version of Kalina, which replaced the Zhiguli. This is a simple budget car, improved for modern roads.

From all of the above, we can conclude that a car produced by VAZ is like a lottery. Each model may have a successful or problematic option. Priora is a model that has been proven for decades, and Granta is a more modern car, assembled using new technologies. And, judging seriously by technical specifications, then in terms of the latest versions, Grant is superior to Priora in many criteria, including cost, which today is one of the main selection criteria for some.

Lada Priora liftback. "Granta" or "Priora"

Lada Granta or Priora - which is better? Comparative characteristics and reviews of owners, photos, videos.

Every person at least once in his life is faced with a choice - which car to take: domestic or foreign, used or new... If you choose from affordable options, then the Russian auto industry will come to the rescue, which also gives reasons for thinking about the choice . In addition, favorable prices will be taken into account in the future - regarding maintenance, repair and replacement of parts.

Just recently, the leading manufacturer AVTOVAZ has improved most of its models and also released new ones, which are becoming increasingly popular every day. To help buyers with their choice, I decided to discuss the topic - which is better: Lada Granta or Lada Priora. According to the latest statistics, these are the best-selling cars of this company. These models differ from the well-known Lada Kalina and from each other, so let's look at what exactly.

Exterior - appearance

First, let's look at the external data. Priora has a traditional body shape, similar to the previous version. After restyling in 2014, it acquired improved headlights, bumper and rear dimensions.

Lada Priora Sedan

Granta has now acquired youthful, stylish shapes reminiscent of a foreign car. The running lights, bumpers and headlights have been improved. In this category you can give it preference.

Interior - interior overview

If we take the Priora as an example, its interior has changed for the better. Modern soft-look materials were used in the interior.

Lada Priora Lux Salon

While in Granta the plastic dashboard looks cheap. But it has a more spacious interior.

Price and quality

In this comparison, what better than Priora or Granta liftback, the second option wins, since today the new Priora without additions costs the same as Granta in a luxury package. This price difference was achieved thanks to a new design that uses fewer small parts. This is what contributed to the noise reduction.

Priora has two trim levels for all models: Norma and Lux. Granta also has a third one - Standard, which is the cheapest. At the same time, the inexpensive configurations of the first model are better equipped than those of the second. But their cost is much higher. But there are practically no differences between expensive trim levels. They include:

• front airbags;
• electric power steering;
• multimedia system with on-board computer;
• heated seats, etc.

Specifications

This criterion is of most concern to domestic car enthusiasts, so we will analyze in detail all the available parameters.

Headlights

If you choose from cars which is better - Grant or Priora regarding the light, then opinions are divided here. Granta wins in the low beam category, while Priora has good high beam. It also has an advantage in the design of the headlight - lamps for different lights are installed separately, so this makes replacement easier and cheaper in the future. Full characteristics looks like that.

• DRL/GO P21/5W 12V/21W/5W.
• Low and high beam h5 12V/60W/55W.
• Turn signal lamp PY21W 12V/21W.

Lada Granta:

• Low beam (H7).
• Far (h3).
• Turn signal lamp PY21W 12V/21W.

Clearance

For both brands of cars, regardless of body style - liftback, sedan, sport or hatchback - ground clearance identical – 16 cm.

Trunk

What makes the Grant better than the Priora is the trunk volume.

In the first case, it is equal to 520 liters, in the second – 430. But if you fold the rear sofa, this figure increases to 700.

Suspension

If you are wondering what is better to buy - Priora or Grant, then opinions are also divided on this characteristic. The first model is bought due to its good handling. Due to the increased travel of the steering rack, it becomes more “obedient”. In the sports version, the suspension has been significantly improved. The second option is taken by those who value comfort. The Granta has fewer revolutions from lock to lock, compared to the Priora - 3.1 versus 4.1. It is also more rolly in corners and is perfect for older drivers. Accelerating over 120 km/h, it will not feel very good. Although this is the latest, therefore more modern development of the creators.

Engines

If we compare which is better - Grant or Priora regarding engines, then in reality they are almost the same. But my personal opinion is that the 16-valve Granta is faster than its opponent (especially in the “sport” version - this was also proven in test drives).

IN model range Priora has only two positions - 98 and 106 hp, while Grant has added two more - 82 and 87. In addition, they are equipped with a noise insulation system.

The fuel consumption declared by the factory also does not differ much - about 9-10 liters in the city, and six on the highway.

Transmission

When choosing between two - Grant or Prior - which is better, regarding this characteristic, the first option wins. I declare with confidence that the new cable gearbox beats the old Priora one.

This is a modernized version of the gearbox from the VAZ-2108, which, although noisy, still provides clear operation of the scenes. Gears can be engaged literally with your little finger. The Priora has a manual transmission, while the Granta has a choice of manual, robotic and automatic.

LADAvodov's opinion

It was also interesting to read personal experience and reviews from owners of cars in different body styles - hatchback, liftback, sedan or sport - regarding which car is better: Priora or Grant. Here opinions are divided. Many people who buy Grant claim that it is of better quality. With it, you need to go to the service much less often for relatively minor breakdowns (according to some users). The good news is that the car arrived for maintenance, and was not brought in. Most often, malfunctions of small units occur: stove, generator, window regulator, etc. The Granta's price is lower, and many are satisfied with the exterior. The only thing is that the brakes are squealing. Even in the service department this is already considered normal, since this is observed in almost every model.

Regarding which is better - Priora or Grant, reviews were different. Many people respond well to the fact that the Granta has more space in the cabin, especially for legs. It is roomy, comfortable to sit in and has a large trunk. This is especially true for those who need it for work, and in everyday life too. The Granta has a rich set of equipment, plus a new platform. There are large doors, like in the Kalina station wagon or hatchback (video is presented below).

Others like the Priora more – its configuration and engine power. Its fans tend to believe that Granta has more visits to the service. But many consider the price of the Priora to be too high according to expectations. Although it is simply dictated by modern realities. Foreign cars have also risen, like everything else in this world. The restyled versions have already acquired all the necessary elements - a short steering rack, a cable link and other things that are so praised in Grant.

Lada Priora Sedan

Many also prefer appearance Priora, while in the second Lada I don’t like the shape of the stern, especially in liftback, hatchback and sedan bodies. Priora looks more modern, so it can be called a youth version. Convenient for both driver and passengers.

My opinion

I myself was the owner of a Priora for two years. In two years new car I have ridden more than 30,000 km. During this period, there were a lot of minor breakdowns, but during all the time she never got stuck on the road. The battery died once, due to my fault - I didn’t turn off the ceiling light.

Based on experience, I can answer the question which car is better - Lada Granta or Priora. P

Priora Hatchback or Granta Hatchback: characteristics of the models

Currently, cars from the Volzhsky plant are increasingly popular among car enthusiasts. And this is an understandable fact, since the cost of this brand is much lower than a foreign one, and maintenance is quite simple. And also, if necessary, you can get any components and spare parts in a short time.

Buyers often face the problem of choosing: which car is better and more modern - Priora Hatchback or Granta Hatchback. These models are especially popular among other Lada cars, and the choice often comes between them. This solution seems simple only at first glance, but in fact these almost identical models have a number of individual properties.

And most recently, the AvtoVAZ plant began producing the Lada Granta Liftback model. This is a new Granta, adjusted to a foreign body model and having exterior advantages over other cars on the Russian market. But we are talking specifically about the choice between Priora and Granta in the Hatchback body.

If we miss the fact that Grant and Priora have a decent difference in cost, still General characteristics They have quite a lot of them, which makes the choice very difficult. Therefore, the main assistant here should be precisely comparative analysis and individual feelings of the buyer.

Inside, outside and under the hood

The interior and exterior are the first thing that catches the buyer's eye at a car dealership. This is what is assessed first when choosing models. Comparing the Lada Priora or Lada Granta with foreign cars, you can see that their appearance is much poorer and more modest. What they are making now in Russia has long since ceased to be produced abroad, although this is not surprising, Soviet auto industry has always acted more as a catch-up than as an advanced link in the automotive industry. And the Hatchback body is increasingly being replaced by the Liftback option.

The Granta Hatchback looks more solid than its rival Priora. A more modern and beautiful design shows it in a favorable light. The age difference (Granta was released 4 years later) naturally affects the appearance of the car, since there is a more modern approach and outdated body parts have been removed from the design.

However, in terms of interior decoration and convenience, the leadership is maintained by the Priora Hatchback. The interior of the Priora uses higher quality materials and more comfortable (albeit outdated) seats.

Technical characteristics are the main ones for a car enthusiast when choosing a vehicle. Engine power, fuel consumption and many other criteria are taken into account. Priora and Granta are practically equipped with the same power units, and their difference depends more on the configuration than on the model, which cannot be said about the gearbox.

The Granta Hatchback is ahead of the Priora, especially the modifications of the last years of production. This is due to the fact that they began to install improved mechanics on the Grant, which is superior to the outdated gearbox on the Priora. It is distinguished by a more convenient switch, easily amenable to commands, as well as the absence of vibration, which has practically become an indispensable feature of the Soviet automobile industry.

The fuel consumption of both Lada models is the same, and this is due to the similarity of the engines and their characteristics. However, the newer Granta model is better adapted to the roads and improved, so you should not be surprised if it still surpasses its rival in fuel consumption by 1-2 liters.

Automatic transmission is a separate issue. Since the Lada Priora has not yet acquired an automatic transmission, lovers of such a transmission will prefer to choose the Granta. But you shouldn’t hope for a simplified life, since automatic transmission is still an innovation in the Russian automobile industry and therefore you can expect more problems from automatic transmissions than from the old but faithful mechanics.

The suspension condition of the Priora and Granta is equivalent. In modern models it has been improved and is highly reliable. But still, Granta is a more modern model and its suspension will be newer and more advanced. This plays a significant role when repairing a car or tuning it. It is easier to find and replace a modern part than to choose an alternative to an outdated model.

Price offers and configurations

Analyzing the cost of models will help you get closer to deciding which one is better to take. Considering that the Priora, at the price of the minimum configuration, costs the same as the Lada Granta in the luxury configuration, you can immediately set your priorities. And indeed, why pay for an empty Priora, if for the same money you can get a fully loaded Grant and be happy if you are satisfied with all the characteristics?

Lada Priora is a more ergonomic model. She has already earned herself a “name” and earned respect among young people. The model is popular even with a minimum configuration, and this is due to the possibility of easy tuning. Since the car has already been well studied by users, it can be used to fashion both a unique sports car and an excellent country “cart”.

Among the disadvantages of the Priora, it is necessary to note the racks. But part of the blame for their rapid wear can be laid on the quality of the roads, and besides, the struts on the Priora are not that expensive. Therefore, even if, with terribly poor operation, they “fly” after 5-6 years, they can be easily obtained and replaced.

The luxury package includes power steering, air conditioning, an ABC system, power windows and airbags for the passenger. The “norm” package differs from the first in the absence of rear automatic windows, fog lights, alloy wheels and, of course, parking sensors.

Lada Granta attracts buyers with a fairly quiet engine, due to the presence of modern and high-quality sound insulation. Grant engines develop power of 80, 90 and 98 Horse power, depending on the configuration. Improved dynamics and aerodynamics have reduced the car's acceleration time to 100 km/h to 12 seconds. The interior of the Lada Granta is designed in European style and is particularly comfortable and quiet.

Here the buyer is offered more wide choose trim levels: “norm”, “standard” and “luxury”. A more spacious trunk is a clear advantage, since our car owners, in the old fashioned way, strive to fit almost an entire sofa into a passenger car. Well, jokes aside, 500 liters is quite an impressive volume for a Hatchback class car.

Among the shortcomings, the driver will notice a slight rattle after a few thousand kilometers and the absence of an engine temperature sensor. But there are no complaints regarding safety. Some are also captivated by the later start of production of the car. After all, the Russian mentality has developed in such a way that everything released later than the previous one will be much better, and everything taken from Europe as a personal experience will be of much higher quality. But why is Priora’s price still higher? This is already a question of pricing and the so-called “company secret”.

What to choose?

Priora or Granta is a symbolic choice rather than a technical one. Almost identical cars with minor differences, created at the same enterprise. It is captivating that the Lada Granta is 4 years younger than the Priora, but an older, more experienced and already proven car can still give a head start to the younger generation.

The fewer parts in the Grant may have contributed to its cheapness. This simplifies the design of the car, reduces weight and improves driving performance. Granta, as mentioned above, is a relatively new model on the automotive market, and no one yet fully knows how it can behave. This uncertainty and lack of knowledge frightens buyers. Adding fuel to the fire is the price, which is perceived as “cheaper means worse.”

Significant factors when choosing a car between the Lada Granta Hatchback and the Lada Priora Hatchback will be the operating conditions and the purposes for which the car is purchased. For example, girls and women prefer to choose a car with an automatic transmission and a more modern look. For summer residents, it is recommended to purchase a Lada Granta because of the spacious trunk. Priora is suitable for young people, lends itself well to luxurious tuning and, like a transforming robot, can be converted into a car with an individual character.

Significant information for choosing a car will also be the fact that for Priora it is currently much easier to get inexpensive used spare parts. But for Grants you will have to look for either new ones or analogs from foreign cars that have already been used, since the dismantling of these cars is just beginning to take off.

As for the used Lada Granta and Lada Priora, here all the characteristics indicated above lose their validity, and it is necessary to compare solely by operational characteristics. Because it doesn’t matter which engine is better if one of them has already been rebuilt three times, and it doesn’t even matter which gearbox, automatic or manual, if the first one becomes faulty immediately after signing the sales contract. Every car enthusiast makes a choice for himself, and therefore it is primarily up to him to decide what to drive.

"Granta" or "Priora" - which is better? Comparative characteristics and reviews of owners about "Grant" and "Prior" :: SYL.ru

Currently among the population Russian Federation Vehicles produced by the Lada company are very popular. This is a domestic company. It produces a considerable number of car models, and therefore people who decide to give preference to the company’s products often wonder whether “Granta” or “Priora” is better.

Introduction

The choice of our compatriots is determined by a number of parameters. The first and, I think, most important is, of course, the price of the car. Compared to foreign cars, Lada products are not so expensive. And components and spare parts for cars can be found much easier on the market. They will also be cheaper than for foreign-made cars. It is worth noting that in all this variety of models sold, a special niche is occupied by those two cars, which we, in fact, will talk about throughout the entire article. These two vehicles, according to statistics, have become the best-selling vehicles among all models. It is possible that you have just decided to buy a Lada. And here, logically, the buyer faces a question. "Granta" or "Priora" - which is better? There is nothing strange about this, and we will try to understand each of the cars in more detail, find out its advantages and disadvantages. These two models have a lot in common. The interesting thing is that they are in quite different price categories. And this clearly does not play into your hands when choosing between two cars. So the only method that will help us answer the question of whether “Granta” or “Priora” is better will be a detailed analysis with all comparisons made for similar types of vehicle characteristics.

Comparison of external and internal appearance

At the very first stages of a detailed comparison of two cars (and we are not just talking about deciding whether the Lada Granta or Priora is better), you must first of all pay attention to their interior and exterior. Perhaps someone will disagree with this, but this is not a personal opinion, but simply a statement of fact obtained based on surveys of car enthusiasts.

So, if we took one of these models as a basis and tried to compare each of them with foreign-made cars, then, most likely, both models would fail. Here, of course, a lot depends on the foreign “opponent”. But again, based on foreign standards, we can safely say that in terms of its appearance, the Granta is much closer to the conventional standard than the Priora.

Thus, we are already beginning to form the prerequisites for answering the question of which is better: “Priora” or “Granta-liftback”. Indeed, the latter looks quite nice compared to the other model. Although “Priora” is far from a miss, it still lacks something in the fight in “Grantoy”. Previously, some experts compared three models at once. They tried to answer the question of which is better: “Kalina”, “Granta” or “Priora”. The results were quite expected. But the topic of our article is somewhat different, so we will not get distracted by analyzing the issue of three models.

First conclusions

So, “Granta” has a more modern, more beautiful design than “Priora”. It is worth noting the fact that both models have a certain basic configuration. And such equipment for the first car costs much less than for the second. Here we can definitely say that in terms of its appearance, the Priora (although it is simply impossible to say that it looks terrible) is still inferior to the Granta. It seems that the scales at this moment should tip in favor of the latest model, but nothing like that happens. The fact is that in terms of seats, the Priora will be much more comfortable. You also need to take into account the quality of the material from which they are made. Thus, “Lada Priora” evens the score. And we will continue to look at the characteristics of these two cars to find out which is better: Priora or Granta Sport.

Analysis of technical equipment of cars

Probably no one will argue with the fact that many people, when choosing a car, pay special attention to studying the so-called “fuel efficiency”. That is, attention is paid to how much fuel a car engine consumes. These two models are equipped with almost the same engines. The manufacturers of the concern decided on such an interesting move.

If we take both cars in the same configuration, then in terms of technical characteristics we are unlikely to notice any special differences between the models. However, it is worth saying a few words about the gearbox that the Lada Granta has. It is certainly better than that of the Priora. The fact is that today in this vehicle more built in a new version manual box gear shift. It surpasses the previous one, if not in all parameters, then certainly in the overwhelming number of them. Switching between gears has become much more convenient. The vibration has almost completely disappeared somewhere.

Options

If we take two identical configurations, then in terms of fuel consumption these car models will practically not differ. If you are one of the car enthusiasts who prefer an automatic transmission, then most likely, like many of your like-minded people, you will vote in favor of the Lada Granta. Let's not forget that in Priora there is no automatic transmission switching speeds. Whether this is a plus or a minus is not for us to figure out. Both models can boast that they have a fairly reliable, high-quality suspension. But, no matter how reliable it is, the Lada Granta will still have a better one, since the model itself entered the market later than the Priora. This means that the suspension was developed by designers and engineers to be improved. So, let's summarize. “Granta” has a certain advantage in terms of technical characteristics. But in general, the models differ from each other insignificantly. Therefore, the advantage can be written not as a whole point, but only as a half. Next, we will look at how the cost of cars in different trim levels compares, so that we can then answer the question of what is better to take: Grant or Priora.

Next stage of comparison

Of course, a review of technical characteristics, as well as their step-by-step comparison, is an excellent move, allowing in some cases to draw preliminary conclusions and prepare a preliminary summary of the entire comparison. But relying on opinions only about them will not be entirely correct. Therefore, at the very beginning of the article, the topic of the external and internal appearance of cars was touched upon, and now we will try to answer the question of whether “Lada Granta-liftback” or “Priora” is better, based, among other things, on information about the trim levels of cars presented at market.

In general, about the price ratio

So, the cheapest version of the Priora will cost approximately the same amount as the Granta, presented in a luxury package. If anyone still doesn’t understand what we’re talking about, let’s try to explain it a little more accessible and in more detail. If we take the above-mentioned “Grants” package, then it will contain electric amplifier steering wheel, air conditioning (which has recently become very important in the summer, especially in the south of Russia, where the temperature during the day jumps to 50 degrees). Also, the Grant will have a built-in airbag. But if we take a “Priora” for comparison for the same money, you simply won’t see all these elements in it, because they are not there. With similar bells and whistles, the Priora will cost much more.

“Priora”: advantages and disadvantages

If we analyzed the models separately, then the latter could, of course, have several strengths. It is enough to remember that the Lada Priora is ergonomic. Rating it on a five-point scale, you can give it a four. And confident, strong. This model is in great demand among our youth. Its production, as you know, started several years ago, in 2007.

But the car's struts are a real minus of the model. Considering how unreliable the roads are in our country, the racks simply fall apart. If we make a verdict based on some general parameters, then it should be noted that in this regard, the Lada Priora is not bad. The model still has many buyers. “Priora” is supplied to the market in two trim levels. These are “Normal” and “Lux”. The first includes front power windows, on-board computer, airbag, headlight range control. The second has the same elements, but adds air conditioning, as well as ABC, EBD. There is a noticeable difference between the trim levels and in the appearance of the cars. The luxury model has fog lights, alloy wheels, and parking sensors.

“Grant”: advantages and disadvantages

And the Lada Granta is equipped with an engine that produces significantly less noise. This is achieved through the use of modern sound insulation modules in the design. The Lada Granta line is represented by three modifications, the engine power of which is, respectively, 80, 90 and 98 horsepower.

The interior of the car is designed, one might say, in a European style. It is distinguished by its characteristics, namely a high level of silence and riding comfort. Production of the model started not so long ago, only in 2011. The basis was the design of the previous car - Lada Kalina. The very next year, three trim levels appeared on the car market under the names “Lux”, “Standard” and “Norma”.

The trunk of the Granta is more spacious than that of the Priora. Its volume is 5 hundred liters. But the model also has its drawbacks, like every car. After traveling several thousand kilometers this car, all drivers are faced with the fact that the transport begins to crackle simply. There is no sensor that shows what temperature the engine is.

Who is Granta suitable for?

But in terms of safety, the car meets absolutely all standards and requirements. It is difficult to enter a turn while moving at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. People between 30 and 59 years old often buy a car. But if, again, we answer the question of which is better: “Priora 2” or “Granta”, based on average characteristics and facts, then the answer is obvious: “Granta”. The model turned out to be very successful, you can’t argue with that.

Which is better: “Grant” or “Priora”? Owner reviews

Almost all owners note that the technical equipment of Granta will be better than that of its rival. Very often Priora has problems with the pump. Since “Grant” was developed later, it is not at all surprising that the car was modified in technically. Many drivers who had previously used the Kalina as a car switched to the Granta, citing its advantages.

Which is better to choose - Lada Granta or Priora? Comparison and reviews

Often people who decide to buy a car are faced with a difficult choice. Which car is better, domestic or foreign? New or used? Which car is the leader or, conversely, not very popular? Let's try to understand this difficult situation and give novice car owners some practical advice.

Unfortunately, another round economic crisis led to the fact that the leading popular brands of foreign cars became practically inaccessible to the average Russian buyer. And more and more often he began to turn his attention towards domestic auto products.

As a result, interest in our cars increased, and sales began to grow steadily. Moreover, right on time, the leader of the Russian automobile industry, AVTOVAZ, launched several new models on the market and made serious updates to existing ones.

We can safely say that the most purchased cars in 2015 were the Lada Granta and Lada Priora models. Let's take a closer look at these machines, compare their prices and characteristics. Let's determine which is better Prior or Grant?

By what parameters will we compare Grant and Priora?

By and large, each of these models occupies its own niche in the car market and comparing them is probably not ethical enough. But this is precisely the question that constantly worries our audience.

So Lada Priora is a logical continuation of the tenth model that has already been discontinued. Its logical modification, the outlines of which clearly appear in the silhouette of the Priora. And the Lada Granta was conceived and executed as absolutely new car, designed to replace outdated “classics” on the market. Let's meet consumer demand halfway and look for an answer to the question: “What better than Grant or Priora? just comparing these cars.

Appearance comparison

Let's start, as usual, with the appearance of the cars. Let's see what interior and exterior options are offered to us. The Priora has the outline of a classic sedan, a bit similar to its predecessor. The shape of its body, unfortunately, can no longer be called modern; it is most likely more traditional.

Despite the restyling of the model in 2014, the body has not undergone major changes. Priora received new headlights, a new bumper and rear dimensions. The car looked better, but not much. But inside there were more drastic changes.

New materials from the “soft-look” line were used and the interior began to look much richer. Although the old problems remain - if you have impressive dimensions, then you will feel a little cramped in the driver's seat.

But Granta has more than enough space, the interior is spacious and comfortable. The picture is spoiled by the cheap plastic from which the instrument panel is made.

ABOUT appearance I want to say separately. It is modern, stylish and interesting. The car has sweeping lines, original headlights and bumpers, and new running lights. And the Lada Granta, produced in a liftback body, is practically indistinguishable from a good foreign car. Comparing Grant or Priora, which looks better, the Lada Granta certainly wins.

Comparison of configurations and prices of Grants and Priors

Now about the packages and prices. Lada Priora is the only car in our country that is available in four body styles - sedan, hatchback, station wagon and coupe. If you are a fan of station wagons, then the Priora has no competitors.

Granta is not available in this body style. It is represented on the market as a sedan, a liftback and a sports car. If Priora has two trim levels for all models, Norma and Luxury, then Granta has added a third (the cheapest) Standard.

Interestingly, the inexpensive Priora configurations are much better equipped than similar Grant configurations. But they also cost significantly more. But in the Lux trim levels, the differences between Priora and Grant practically disappear.

The same set of expensive options includes electric power steering, front airbags, heated seats, a modern multimedia system, an on-board computer with many functions, and much more.

And again, the Lada Granta in the most expensive Lux configuration costs 10-15% cheaper than the same Priora. This is achieved due to the fact that the design of the Lada Granta has significantly reduced the number of small parts used in assembling the body.

Hence the reduction in noise levels and the elimination of all sorts of rattles and squeaks that so annoyed previous VAZ owners. The presence of a wide variety of configurations is a huge plus for the Lada Grant, as the car becomes accessible to almost everyone, the main segments of the population.

We deliberately do not provide specific prices for this or that model, but try to show the main trends, because the price gap between different sellers can be very different from each other. Let us conclude that the comparison of Grant and Prior with regard to pricing policy again remains with Grant.

Comparison by technical characteristics

To the question what better than Lada Grant or Priora in terms of technical characteristics, the opinions of car owners are almost the same. There are not many fundamental differences between the cars - they are equipped with the same engines and almost identical gearboxes.

The Priora model range is represented by two engines 98 and 106 hp. with a manual transmission, and Granta has four engines - 82 and 87 hp are added, and the gearbox is represented by mechanics, robot and automatic.

Discussions of eliminating the eternal shortcomings of the Priora - repairing struts and electric power steering - receive much more attention. Although, according to the manufacturer, they have been eliminated in the restyled version of the Priora.

Really serious technical problem The priority is that when the generator belt breaks, the valve bends. And it was not possible to solve this problem in the new engine 21127, which was developed for the updated Priora. It seems that the problem will never be solved, since there are persistent rumors that the Priora will be in production for the last year.

Three years of operation of the Lada Grant did not reveal such serious (general) problems, the solution of which needs to be sought by the whole world. The exception is the generator bearing, which quite often fails. When deciding for yourself which Lada Grant or Priora is better, you need to have all of the above in your head. And our sympathies are again with Granta - she is fresher and more technologically advanced.

Owners' opinions about cars

In a separate line, I would like to dwell on the comparison of which is better than the Priora or Granta liftback (hatchback). Because this question comes up very often on various car forums. A liftback is just a variation of the Granta, its next modification, and not another car. Naturally, in appearance it is completely superior to the Priora, and in terms of technical characteristics they are quite similar.

Studying the opinions of users on the network, which is better than Prior or Grant, reviews can be divided into several categories. Most people prefer Granta, although they are afraid of its novelty. Others take the position of Priora, citing their reliability in life. And there are still others, whose opinion boils down to one thing - a VAZ car is like a lottery lottery, you’ll be lucky and you won’t have any problems. And if you are unlucky, no model will help.

Comparison of sports modifications Grants and Priors

When comparing Priora and Granta, one cannot fail to mention sports models. If the sporty Priora is a logical continuation of the classic model, then the Granta Sport can claim to be a car that has its own new face.

There is a new sports suspension, an improved gearbox, and adjusted wheel camber. The appearance of the car is distinguished by its aggressive character and rapid modern lines. Numerous test drives of the Priora against the Granta have shown that while the regular Granta is inferior to the Priora in terms of dynamics, the sporty version of the Granta is much faster.

Results

Summing up what to choose Grant or Priora, we can say that in our comparison, Lada Granta still looks preferable. It is fresher and more modern and has a wider range of equipment. But, ultimately, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s Priora or Lada Granta. Read, think, choose.

Which is better: Lada Priora hatchback or Granta liftback

Very often, when choosing a car, future car owners wonder which car to give preference to, including the nuance of whether the foreign option is better or should they turn their attention to a fellow countryman. Let's understand the issue.

Taking into account the fact that the crisis has slightly crippled the previously large turnover in the car sales market, it would be fair to clarify the point that more and more car owners are choosing technology Russian production. So, which is better - Grant or Priora? If you think about it, both of these models are good, each in its own way. In theory, Lada Priora is quite similar to the tenth model, which has already ceased to be produced. But the Lada Granta was released with the goal of bringing something new to the Russian automobile industry market, for people who are tired of the classics that have long been boring to everyone. But, nevertheless, we will not immediately put a car on a pedestal if it is newer, so let’s get started.

Grant or Priora?

The Lada Priora has four body options, which distinguishes it from many other cars, because this is the only brand in Russia that has so many body variations and other features. Granta cannot boast of such a variety of bodies, but it has a set of rather expensive options, electric power steering, for example. Although, the same can be said about Priora. In terms of equipment, the Priora is insignificant, but it stands out from the Granta, because it is equipped inexpensively, but effectively. But if Priora has only two configurations for all models, then Granta also has a third, the most affordable for purchase, which is called Standard.

Which option is better and where to stop - let's try to figure it out

• The Priora lineup consists of two engines: 98 and 106 hp. with manual transmission. The same cannot be said about the Granta, because this type of car has as many as four engines, and the gearbox is not only mechanical, but also represented by a robot and an automatic transmission, which is very convenient, you will agree.
• But when making a comparison between these models, although similar, but still slightly different in nuances, it is worth mentioning the sports models. The sporty Priora is a direct continuation of the classic version of the car, but the Granta Sport stands out in this regard, because it is thought out a little differently. Granta has a new sports suspension, a completely improved gearbox, and a more fashionable aggressive appearance. It is worth noting that Priora is slightly inferior to its opponent in agility, which has been proven by numerous tests.
• Strictly speaking, the Granta’s interior is equipped a little worse. The seats are not as soft and comfortable as we would like. The landing is less comfortable than that of the Priora, which characterizes the Grant as a model intended exclusively for moving around the city.
• If we take both of these cars in the same configuration, then we are unlikely to find serious differences between the models in technical indicators. But it’s worth saying a few words about the gearbox that the Lada Granta has. It is certainly superior to that of Priora. The thing is that now the most updated version of a manual gearbox is built into the vehicle provided. It exceeds the previous one, if not in absolutely all characteristics, then in a huge number of them, that’s for sure. Switching between gears has become much more comfortable. The vibration actually completely disappeared somewhere. So which is better, Lada Granta or Lada Priora? The next comparison would be that:
• The trunk of the Grant is many times larger than that of the Priora. Its size is equivalent to five hundred liters. However, the model also has its shortcomings, like any car. After traveling a number of thousands of kilometers in the provided car, all drivers are faced with the fact that the vehicle simply begins to crack. There is simply no meter that indicates what temperature the engine is.
• If we touch on the topic of safety, then it is better to choose Granta, since this model meets all the required quality standards. Agree, it is quite difficult to fit into a turn at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and Granta copes with this task perfectly.
• Almost all car owners notice that Granta’s technical equipment is slightly better than that of its competitor. Quite often Priora has difficulties with the pump. Since the Granta was invented later, it is not at all surprising that the car was modified in a technical version. Almost all the drivers who had previously used the Kalina as a car moved to the Granta, arguing for its superiority.

Comparing the pros and cons

To begin with, it should be said that the Lada Priora is considered a B-class adherent, but the Granta belongs to the C-class. Their bodies differ significantly, primarily in volume. The Granta is the most massive, especially for the universal version of the car, which is not always excellent in city conditions. In city traffic jams, the Priora looks better. It fits perfectly into the tightest parking spaces. Therefore, if your task is to continuously move around the city, then it is best to take a Priora. For people who often need to transport a large volume of cargo, Granta is more suitable.

From the outside, Granta looks more durable. There are practically no sporty lines in its features, which makes it a car for serious people. Usually, this option chosen by people with extensive experience in driving a vehicle. Priora seems to be the most attractive, which is probably why young people love it so much. This model is often used as the basis for body tuning. Both cars are manufactured taking into account all safety requirements. Bodies are made taking into account stiffening ribs. There are also areas with programmable crumpling, which does not overload the interior and allows for less damage upon impact. But as a result, they still scored low in the safety assessment. Moreover, due to the more effective Grant airbags, it is considered a safer car.

Priora hatchback or Granta liftback, which is better? Drawing the line on whether to choose a Grant or a Priora, I would like to say that in our comparison, the Lada Granta still looks a little better than its rival. It is the freshest and most modern and has the widest range of parameters for a decent car. Only in the final analysis, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s a Priora or a Lada Granta. Read, reflect, think and choose the brand of car that is ideal for you.

Lada Vesta Hatchback or Liftback???

Internet users involved in automotive topics are actively discussing a photo of a new version of the Lada Vesta, one of the most popular cars in Russia, that recently appeared online. The increased interest of the Internet public is due to the fact that a car with a modified hatchback body was caught in the photo lens. It is assumed that this particular model will continue the line of cars from Russian manufacturer.

Officials first reported on AVTOVAZ's projects to produce the LADA Vesta hatchback in 2016. However, the model show that took place at that time was completely closed, so video and photographic materials were banned. In May of this year, a new car from LADA Vesta was featured in a short video. However, the fragment with the car turned out to be so short that it was impossible to consider the variant of its body. In this regard, various guesses arose, which were even joined by the magazine “Za Rulem”, which published its assumptions regarding the design of the new hatchback.

A photo of a LADA Vesta that has now appeared on the Internet gives reason to think about this type of body. The camouflage fabric carefully hid all elements of the car's appearance from prying eyes, but left the outlines of its silhouette. They indicate that the new product from AVTOVAZ is not a classic hatchback, but a body modification such as a liftback. It is in this type of body that the Lada Granta is produced.

The photo gives reason to believe that the development of a new version at AVTOVAZ is still ongoing. Among the new parts noticed, diode optics should be noted. The manufacturer planned to organize a presentation of the new model in the fall of this year. But specific dates have not yet been officially announced. Perhaps the premiere of the Lada Vesta hatchback will be postponed.

Recently, more and more car owners prefer Lada cars. The leading position in sales of this concern is occupied by. Moreover, those who plan to purchase a domestic car cannot decide on a specific model for a long time. Priora or Grant, what should you buy?

It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally, although these two “brainchildren” of the Lada are in different price categories, they have a lot of common features and characteristics, and this makes the choice even more difficult.

Many people wonder what caused such love for the Russian automobile industry. But here everything is simple, this is due to the low price of “iron horses” and the available components for them. More and more people prefer to own a new car, albeit a domestic one, than a used foreign car. Why this happens is not difficult to explain. Buy good quality hard. Basically, all the cars were repaired after serious accidents, and no one wants to take a pig in a poke.

But how to determine the winner in the Prior vs Grant battle? To do this, it is necessary to carry out a comparative analysis of cars in all positions; this approach will help you decide when purchasing.

Granta vs Priora: comparing external and internal appearance

The first thing we pay attention to before buying a car is its external and internal appearance. And if, for example, we compare the model with imported ones vehicles, then interior and exterior domestic cars will lose dramatically, look poorer and more boring.

If we ignore foreign cars and talk about each car specifically, then the Granta has a more modern body and attractive design than its competitor Lada Priora. Moreover, the Priora in its basic configuration costs much more than its rival. Therefore, in the fight between Priora and Granta, the latter wins in terms of appearance and interior design. And one more plus in favor of Granta - in 2014, the car began to be produced in a liftback body (before that it was only a sedan). This version of the car looks very presentable and modern. If you don’t see the Lada nameplate, then the Granta liftback may well pass for a “foreigner”. Priora is available in sedan, station wagon and hatchback body styles, but the cars do not look as impressive as the Granta liftback.

The appearance of the body is the first thing the buyer pays attention to

In 2014, Lada Priora underwent restyling. True, the body has not changed radically. Lada Priora 2014 differs from the previous version with an updated bumper, radiator grille and modified headlights. The car was also equipped with new LED brake lights and rear lights.

But inside the Lada Priora 2014 has changed dramatically. The front panel attracts with its updated design, and in expensive Priora trim levels you can see cruise control and modern technology.

The backrest tilt mechanism in the Lada Priora 2014 has also been improved; it now functions smoothly and clearly, like in the Grant. The Priora's seat heating system has become three-mode. Plastic covers appeared under the seats to cover the free space. In general, the Priora has changed a lot on the inside, but on the outside - so-so. And here it’s up to you to decide whether you agree to overpay a very decent amount for the interior decoration of the cabin.

Comparing technical specifications

In addition to the attractive appearance and inexpensive price, every car owner pays attention to the various characteristics of the engine. If we return to the confrontation between Grant and Priora, both cars are equipped with almost identical engines. The difference will vary slightly depending on the selected configuration. According to experts, the Granta's gearbox is better than that of its competitor Priora. The Granta is currently available with an updated manual transmission, which is many times better than the previous one. Switching speeds is now much more convenient, and the vibration that was present before has disappeared.

The amount of gasoline that one and another car consumes with the same technical characteristics is not particularly different. Since 2014, Priora has been produced with robotic box gears, like Grant. True, the cost of a Priora with such a box will be about 500 thousand rubles, but that’s not what we’re talking about now.

In terms of suspension quality, the Granda and the updated Priora are almost equal

Both “brainchildren” of the Lada concern can boast of a reliable suspension. And if first in a duel between machines ride quality clearly defeated Grant, then after 2014, when Priora underwent a number of changes, they were almost equal.

But, to the sadness of many car owners, all the changes that happened to the Priora in 2014 did not add power to the car; this car is not for racing. Its potential powers are 98 and 106 hp. but the Granta has a sport modification, and it already has 118 “horses” under the hood. Some will say that this is also not enough, but reviews from owners say otherwise. The car with sports filling is very playful.

Lada Granta or Priora: equipment and price

Of course, everyone wants to have a reliable and modern car, equipped powerful engine, but you shouldn’t forget about the cost of the car. So, the cheapest Priora model in the basic configuration, regardless of the body, will cost approximately the same as (liftback) in the luxury configuration. Of course, not the most equipped one, but still a luxury one.

To make it easier to decide, Priora or Lada Granta, let’s look at each car separately. So, Priora - this model is very ergonomic and on a five-point scale can get a solid four. The car is very loved by the younger generation, who happily tune the Priora, remaking it “to suit themselves.”

Production of this vehicle began in 2007; in 2014, restyling was carried out, which, as already mentioned, did not particularly change the appearance, but added technical characteristics and interior. The most important improvement in Priora 2014 is the struts, which in the previous version simply fell apart. This was a huge disadvantage of the car. Overall, the model is very good and is in good demand among buyers. The vehicle is presented in two trim levels: standard and luxury, which differ in the presence of additional functions.

Lada Granta began production in 2011. It immediately attracted the interest of many buyers with its attractive design and low price. The machine is equipped with a fairly quiet engine and modern system soundproofing. The interior is not particularly chic, but is quite comfortable while driving. The model rolled off the assembly line in 2011; in 2014, in addition to the sedan, a liftback was also released. Granta is available in three trim levels: standard, norm and luxury. The cheapest and “emptiest” car will cost the buyer a little more than 300 thousand rubles.

If we talk about safety, then Granta coped well with European crash tests. Of course, the car has its shortcomings, but in general this model can be called successful. And if we compare the very first cars of this model and those that began to come off the assembly line in 2014 after a minor restyling, the quality has noticeably increased.

So which car is better?

The differences between the cars are insignificant and the Grant's winnings are more likely related to the year of its release

Of course, each person chooses a car according to his taste and pocket. But taking into account all the characteristics described above, the Grant wins several points over the Priora, if only because the former is more modern than its competitor. Even the fact that Priora was updated in 2014 does not really save it. By the way, there is information that 2015 is the last year that the Priora will be released; it should be replaced by a completely new model.

In addition to appearance and technical characteristics, Granta is cheaper than its competitor. This is also due to the fact that fewer parts are used during its assembly.

But Priora also has undoubted advantages. This machine showed excellent performance in operation. The problems and “sores” of the model have long been known; there is no need to expect any surprises when purchasing it. Granta, although not as “raw” as a couple of years ago, can still unpleasantly surprise its owner.

Therefore, it is the buyer’s prerogative to decide which is better - Grant or Priora. Weigh all the pros and cons of each model, sit in them, evaluate the trunk volume, interior, and technical characteristics. If you listen to the opinions of experts, there is no significant difference between the two vehicles. When choosing, rely on the available funds and your own preferences. Good luck with your choice!

Which is preferable or which is better - Priora or Grant?

Currently, vehicles produced by the Lada company are very popular among the population of the Russian Federation. This is a domestic company. It produces a considerable number of car models, and therefore people who decide to give preference to the company’s products often wonder whether “Granta” or “Priora” is better.

Introduction

The choice of our compatriots is determined by a number of parameters. The first and, I think, most important is, of course, the price of the car. Compared to foreign cars, Lada products are not so expensive. And components and spare parts for cars can be found much easier on the market. They will also be cheaper than for foreign-made cars. It is worth noting that in all this variety of models sold, a special niche is occupied by those two cars, which we, in fact, will talk about throughout the entire article. These two vehicles, according to statistics, have become the best-selling vehicles among all models. It is possible that you have just decided to buy a Lada. And here, logically, the buyer faces a question. "Granta" or "Priora" - which is better? There is nothing strange about this, and we will try to understand each of the cars in more detail, find out its advantages and disadvantages. These two models have a lot in common. The interesting thing is that they are in quite different price categories. And this clearly does not play into your hands when choosing between two cars. So the only method that will help us answer the question of whether “Granta” or “Priora” is better will be a detailed analysis with all comparisons of similar types of vehicle characteristics.

Comparison of external and internal appearance

At the very first stages of a detailed comparison of two cars (and we are not just talking about deciding whether the Lada Granta or Priora is better), you must first of all pay attention to their interior and exterior. Perhaps someone will disagree with this, but this is not a personal opinion, but simply a statement of fact obtained based on surveys of car enthusiasts.

So, if we took one of these models as a basis and tried to compare each of them with foreign-made cars, then, most likely, both models would fail. Here, of course, a lot depends on the foreign “opponent”. But again, based on foreign standards, we can safely say that in terms of its appearance, the Granta is much closer to the conventional standard than the Priora.

Thus, we are already beginning to form the prerequisites for answering the question of which is better: “Priora” or “Granta-liftback”. Indeed, the latter looks quite nice compared to the other model. Although “Priora” is far from a miss, it still lacks something in the fight in “Grantoy”. Previously, some experts compared three models at once. They tried to answer the question of which is better: “Kalina”, “Granta” or “Priora”. The results were quite expected. But the topic of our article is somewhat different, so we will not get distracted by analyzing the issue of three models.

First conclusions

So, “Granta” has a more modern, more beautiful design than “Priora”. It is worth noting the fact that both models have a certain basic configuration. And such equipment for the first car costs much less than for the second. Here we can definitely say that in terms of its appearance, the Priora (although it is simply impossible to say that it looks terrible) is still inferior to the Granta. It seems that the scales at this moment should tip in favor of the latest model, but nothing like that happens. The fact is that in terms of seats, the Priora will be much more comfortable. You also need to take into account the quality of the material from which they are made. Thus, “Lada Priora” evens the score. And we will continue to look at the characteristics of these two cars to find out which is better: Priora or Granta Sport.

Analysis of technical equipment of cars

Probably no one will argue with the fact that many people, when choosing a car, pay special attention to studying the so-called “fuel efficiency”. That is, attention is paid to how much fuel a car engine consumes. These two models are equipped with almost the same engines. The manufacturers of the concern decided on such an interesting move.

If we take both cars in the same configuration, then in terms of technical characteristics we are unlikely to notice any special differences between the models. However, it is worth saying a few words about the gearbox that the Lada Granta has. It is certainly better than that of the Priora. The fact is that today a newer version of a manual gearbox is built into this vehicle. It surpasses the previous one, if not in all parameters, then certainly in the overwhelming number of them. Switching between gears has become much more convenient. The vibration has almost completely disappeared somewhere.

Options

If we take two identical configurations, then in terms of fuel consumption these car models will practically not differ. If you are one of the car enthusiasts who prefer an automatic transmission, then most likely, like many of your like-minded people, you will vote in favor of the Lada Granta. Let's not forget that the Priora does not have an automatic gearbox. Whether this is a plus or a minus is not for us to figure out. Both models can boast that they have a fairly reliable, high-quality suspension. But, no matter how reliable it is, the Lada Granta will still have a better one, since the model itself entered the market later than the Priora. This means that the suspension was developed by designers and engineers to be improved. So, let's summarize. “Granta” has a certain advantage in terms of technical characteristics. But in general, the models differ from each other insignificantly. Therefore, the advantage can be written not as a whole point, but only as a half. Next, we will look at how the cost of cars in different trim levels compares, so that we can then answer the question of what is better to take: Grant or Priora.

Next stage of comparison

Of course, a review of the technical characteristics, as well as their step-by-step comparison, is an excellent move, allowing in some cases to draw preliminary conclusions and prepare a preliminary summary of the entire comparison. But relying on opinions only about them will not be entirely correct. Therefore, at the very beginning of the article, the topic of the external and internal appearance of cars was touched upon, and now we will try to answer the question of whether “Lada Granta-liftback” or “Priora” is better, based, among other things, on information about the trim levels of cars presented at market.

In general, about the price ratio

So, the cheapest version of the Priora will cost approximately the same amount as the Granta, presented in a luxury package. If anyone still doesn’t understand what we’re talking about, let’s try to explain it a little more accessible and in more detail. If we take the above-mentioned “Grants” package, then it will have electric power steering and air conditioning (which has recently become very important in the summer, especially in the south of Russia, where the temperature during the day jumps to 50 degrees). Also, the Grant will have a built-in airbag. But if we take a “Priora” for comparison for the same money, you simply won’t see all these elements in it, because they are not there. With similar bells and whistles, the Priora will cost much more.

“Priora”: advantages and disadvantages

If we analyzed the models separately, then the latter could, of course, have several strengths. It is enough to remember that the Lada Priora is ergonomic. Rating it on a five-point scale, you can give it a four. And confident, strong. This model is in great demand among our youth. Its production, as you know, started several years ago, in 2007.

But the car's struts are a real minus of the model. Considering how unreliable the roads are in our country, the racks simply fall apart. If we make a verdict based on some general parameters, then it should be noted that in this regard, the Lada Priora is not bad. The model still has many buyers. “Priora” is supplied to the market in two trim levels. These are “Normal” and “Lux”. The first includes front windows, an on-board computer, an airbag, and headlight range control. The second has the same elements, but adds air conditioning, as well as ABC, EBD. There is a noticeable difference between the trim levels and in the appearance of the cars. The luxury model has fog lights, alloy wheels, and parking sensors.

“Grant”: advantages and disadvantages

And the Lada Granta is equipped with an engine that produces significantly less noise. This is achieved through the use of modern sound insulation modules in the design. The Lada Granta line is represented by three modifications, the engine power of which is, respectively, 80, 90 and 98 horsepower.

The interior of the car is designed, one might say, in a European style. It is distinguished by its characteristics, namely a high level of silence and riding comfort. Production of the model started not so long ago, only in 2011. The basis was the design of the previous car - “Lada Kalina”. The very next year, three trim levels appeared on the car market under the names “Lux”, “Standard” and “Norma”.

The trunk of the Granta is more spacious than that of the Priora. Its volume is 5 hundred liters. But the model also has its drawbacks, like every car. After driving several thousand kilometers in this car, all drivers are faced with the fact that the vehicle begins to simply crack. There is no sensor that shows what temperature the engine is.

Who is Granta suitable for?

But in terms of safety, the car meets absolutely all standards and requirements. It is difficult to enter a turn while moving at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. People between 30 and 59 years old often buy a car. But if, again, we answer the question of which is better: “Priora 2” or “Granta”, based on average characteristics and facts, then the answer is obvious: “Granta”. The model turned out to be very successful, you can’t argue with that.

Which is better: “Grant” or “Priora”? Owner reviews

Almost all owners note that the technical equipment of Granta will be better than that of its rival. Very often Priora has problems with the pump. Since “Grant” was developed later, it is not at all surprising that the car was improved technically. Many drivers who had previously used the Kalina as a car switched to the Granta, citing its advantages.

Every person at least once in his life is faced with a choice - which car to take: domestic or foreign, used or new... If you choose from affordable options, then the Russian auto industry will come to the rescue, which also gives reasons for thinking about the choice . In addition, favorable prices will be taken into account in the future - regarding maintenance, repair and replacement of parts.

Just recently, the leading manufacturer AVTOVAZ has improved most of its models and also released new ones, which are becoming increasingly popular every day. To help buyers with their choice, I decided to discuss the topic - which is better: Lada Granta or Lada Priora. According to the latest statistics, these are the best-selling cars of this company. These models differ from the well-known Lada Kalina and from each other, so let's look at what exactly.

First, let's look at the external data. Priora has a traditional body shape, similar to the previous version. After restyling in 2014, it acquired improved headlights, bumper and rear dimensions.

Granta has now acquired youthful, stylish shapes reminiscent of a foreign car. The running lights, bumpers and headlights have been improved. In this category you can give it preference.

Interior - interior overview

If we take the Priora as an example, its interior has changed for the better. Modern soft-look materials were used in the interior.

While in Granta the plastic dashboard looks cheap. But it has a more spacious interior.

Price and quality

In this comparison, which is better than a Priora or a Granta liftback, the second option wins, since today the new Priora without additions costs the same as a Granta in a luxury package. This price difference was achieved thanks to a new design that uses fewer small parts. This is what contributed to the noise reduction.

Priora has two trim levels for all models: Norma and Lux. Granta also has a third one - Standard, which is the cheapest. At the same time, the inexpensive configurations of the first model are better equipped than those of the second. But their cost is much higher. But there are practically no differences between expensive trim levels. They include:

• front airbags;
• electric power steering;
• multimedia system with on-board computer;
• heated seats, etc.

Specifications

This criterion is of most concern to domestic car enthusiasts, so we will analyze in detail all the available parameters.

Headlights

If you choose from cars which is better - Grant or Priora regarding the light, then opinions are divided here. Granta wins in the low beam category, while Priora has good high beam. It also has an advantage in the design of the headlight - lamps for different lights are installed separately, so this makes replacement easier and cheaper in the future. The full specification looks like this.

• DRL/GO P21/5W 12V/21W/5W.
• Low and high beam H4 12V/60W/55W.

Lada Granta:

• Low beam (H7).
• Far (H1).
• Turn signal lamp PY21W 12V/21W.

Clearance

For both brands of cars, regardless of the body - liftback, sedan, sport or hatchback - the ground clearance is the same - 16 cm.

Trunk

What makes the Grant better than the Priora is the trunk volume.

In the first case, it is equal to 520 liters, in the second – 430. But if you fold the rear sofa, this figure increases to 700.

Suspension

If you are wondering what is better to buy - Priora or Grant, then opinions are also divided on this characteristic. The first model is bought due to its good handling. Due to the increased travel of the steering rack, it becomes more “obedient”. In the sports version, the suspension has been significantly improved. The second option is taken by those who value comfort. The Granta has fewer revolutions from lock to lock, compared to the Priora - 3.1 versus 4.1. It is also more rolly in corners and is perfect for older drivers. Accelerating over 120 km/h, it will not feel very good. Although this is the latest, therefore more modern development of the creators.

Engines

If we compare which is better - Grant or Priora regarding engines, then in reality they are almost the same. But my personal opinion is that the 16-valve Granta is faster than its opponent (especially in the “sport” version - this was also proven in test drives).

There are only two positions in the Priora model range - 98 and 106 hp, while Grant has added two more - 82 and 87. In addition, they are equipped with a noise insulation system.

The fuel consumption declared by the factory also does not differ much - about 9-10 liters in the city, and six on the highway.

Transmission

When choosing between the two - Grant or Prior - which is better, with regard to this characteristic, the first option wins. I declare with confidence that the new cable gearbox beats the old Priora one.

This is a modernized version of the gearbox from the VAZ-2108, which, although noisy, still provides clear operation of the scenes. Gears can be engaged literally with your little finger. The Priora has a manual transmission, while the Granta has a choice of manual, robotic and automatic.

LADAvodov's opinion

It was also interesting to read the personal experiences and reviews of car owners in different body styles – hatchback, liftback, sedan or sport – regarding which car is better: Priora or Grant. Here opinions are divided. Many people who buy Grant claim that it is of better quality. With it, you need to go to the service much less often for relatively minor breakdowns (according to some users). The good news is that the car arrived for maintenance, and was not brought in. Most often, malfunctions of small units occur: stove, generator, window regulator, etc. The Granta's price is lower, and many are satisfied with the exterior. The only thing is that the brakes are squealing. Even in the service department this is already considered normal, since this is observed in almost every model.

Regarding which is better - Prior or Grant, reviews were different. Many people respond well to the fact that the Granta has more space in the cabin, especially for legs. It is roomy, comfortable to sit in and has a large trunk. This is especially true for those who need it for work, and in everyday life too. The Granta has a rich set of equipment, plus a new platform. There are large doors, like in the Kalina station wagon or hatchback (video is presented below).

Others like the Priora more – its configuration and engine power. Its fans tend to believe that Granta has more visits to the service. But many consider the price of the Priora to be too high according to expectations. Although it is simply dictated by modern realities. Foreign cars have also risen, like everything else in this world. The restyled versions have already acquired all the necessary elements - a short steering rack, a cable link and other things that are so praised in Grant.

Also, many people prefer the appearance of the Priora, while in the second Lada they do not like the shape of the stern, especially in liftback, hatchback and sedan bodies. Priora looks more modern, so it can be called a youth version. Convenient for both driver and passengers.

My opinion

I myself was the owner of a Priora for two years. In two years, I drove more than 30,000 km on the new car. During this period, there were a lot of minor breakdowns, but during all the time she never got stuck on the road. The battery died once, due to my fault - I didn’t turn off the ceiling light.

Based on experience, I can answer the question which car is better - Lada Granta or Priora. When purchasing, I leaned toward the second option due to the higher cost. Plus, it is positioned as the flagship of the domestic automotive industry. There is not much space in it, but it can safely be called B-class.

Initially, the creation of the Priora was aimed at improving the version of the 10th family. And Granta is a cheaper version of Kalina, which replaced the Zhiguli. This is a simple budget car, improved for modern roads.

From all of the above, we can conclude that a car produced by VAZ is like a lottery. Each model may have a successful or problematic option. Priora is a model that has been proven for decades, and Granta is a more modern car, assembled using new technologies. And, judging seriously by the technical characteristics, then in terms of the latest versions, Grant is superior to Priora in many criteria, including cost, which today is one of the main selection criteria for some.
