If you carefully pay attention to which cars that drive on our roads, you will notice that most of them are Lada Granta or Priora (except Moscow, of course). These cars differ both in price and in appearance, and each of them has its pros and cons. The purpose of today's article is to help the buyer in choosing between them and answer the question "which is better, a grant or a prior?".
The prototype for this car was the outdated Lada Kalina. The new car received an engine equipped with noise insulation, as well as a more modern design that meets all European standards. Among other things, the grant contains a fairly roomy trunk, the volume of which reaches 500 liters. Nevertheless, if you fold the rear sofa on the prior, you can get not 400, but 700 liters, but with damage to the rear passengers.
This car is most suitable for middle-aged people or pensioners, as it cannot boast of impressive speed characteristics. In addition, among the drivers were noticed complaints about too sensitive control, which takes a long time to get used to.
However, Grant can also be equipped with a 16-valve engine, which is so famous among motorists. This equipment is much more expensive, and it is also inconvenient to use, since the volume of the engine compartment of this car is very small.
Priora is a continuation of the VAZ 2110 car, and, accordingly, was created entirely on its basis. Naturally, the car inherited many qualities from its predecessor. The Priora has good handling and a fairly powerful motor, which allow it to behave well on the track.
Among the shortcomings of the car, one can note a very poor cross-country ability and, like the tenth model, a very dubious build quality. Priora is in good demand among young people.
Design
Perhaps Grant wins in appearance, which has more modern body features and makes this VAZ model revolutionary, which brings it on a par with all foreign cars. Priora, on the other hand, does not have the necessary streamlining and has the same primitive design. Although if we are talking about a new prior, then one can argue, since she received a new front end. In general, this is, of course, a matter of taste.
If we judge convenience, then the grant also wins here, as it has smaller dimensions, which is convenient in cramped urban conditions.
If we talk about the modernity of the interior, then the Prior is much more familiar to most Russian drivers, since it has much more space and the same familiar torpedo with the necessary functionality. The grant is assembled with an emphasis on European design, as evidenced by the special shape of the dashboard and other instrument ergonomics. In addition, the salon grants worked out much more competently, in terms of the appearance of "foreign" sounds.
Power point
Granta is more suitable for city driving, as it has much higher fuel consumption on the highway. This is an interesting and inexplicable feature, since the engines of these cars are exactly the same. Priora wins on the track, both in terms of dynamic performance and consumption.
The grant gearbox is far superior to its competitor, as it uses short-stroke wings that reduce the likelihood of crunches and reduce gear shifting time. In addition, there is a configuration in which it is equipped with an automatic transmission, which Lada Priora clearly cannot boast of.
Lada Granta is equipped with a more modern suspension, which makes the car much softer and more comfortable, but the principle of its operation remains the same.
As you already understood, Grant has much more advantages than Priora. However, in this case, the “new” VAZ may come as a surprise, since all its factory flaws have not yet been discovered, and Priora has become time-tested, which makes it much more predictable.
We hope that this article will help you make the right choice and you can easily determine which is better, a grant or a prior.

Currently, cars of the Volga plant are increasingly popular with motorists. And this is an understandable fact, since the cost of this brand is much lower than that of 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: - Priora hatchback or Grant hatchback. These models are especially popular among other Lada cars, and the choice often falls between them. Such a solution only at first glance seems simple, but in fact, these almost identical models have a number of individual properties.
And more recently, the AvtoVAZ plant began producing the Lada Granta Liftback model. This is Granta's novelty, tuned to a foreign body model and having exterior advantages over other cars on the Russian market. But we are talking about the choice between Priora and Grant in the back of a hatchback.
If you miss the fact that they have a decent difference in cost, they still have common characteristics and there are quite a lot of them, which makes the choice very difficult. Therefore, the main assistant here should be exactly a comparative analysis and individual feelings of the buyer.
Inside, outside and under the hood
The interior and exterior is the first thing that catches the eye of the buyer in the showroom. It is he who is evaluated in the first place when choosing models. Comparing Lada Priora or Lada Granta with foreign cars, you can see that their appearance is much poorer and more modest. What is now being done in Russia has long ceased to be produced abroad, although this is not surprising, the Soviet auto industry has always acted more as a catch-up rather than an advanced link in the automotive industry. And the Hatchback body is increasingly being replaced by the Liftback variant.
Grant hatchback looks more solid than its rival Priora. A more modern and beautiful design shows it in a favorable light. The difference in age (the Grant was released 4 years later), of course, affects the appearance of the car, as there is a more modern approach and obsolete body parts have been removed from the design.
However, in terms of interior decoration and convenience, Priora Hatchback maintains leadership. The interior of the Priora uses better material and more comfortable (albeit outdated) seats.
They are the main ones for the motorist when choosing a means of transportation. Engine power, fuel consumption and many other criteria are taken into account. Priora and Grant 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.
Grant hatchback is ahead of Priora, especially the modifications of the last years of production. This is due to the fact that they began to install improved mechanics on Grant, which surpasses the outdated checkpoint on Prior. 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 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 Lada Priora has not yet acquired an “automatic”, lovers of such a transmission will prefer to choose Grant. But you should not hope for a simplified life, since automation is still an innovation in the Russian automobile industry and therefore you can expect more problems from automatic transmissions than from old but true mechanics.
The condition of the suspension for Priora and Grants is the same. In modern models, it has been improved and is highly reliable. But still, the Grant is a more modern model and its suspension will be newer and more perfect. This plays a significant role in car repair or tuning. It is easier to find and replace a modern part than to find an alternative to an outdated model.
Price offers and packages
An analysis of 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 prioritize. And really, why pay for an empty Priora, if for the same money you can take yourself a fully stuffed 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 also popular 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 is possible to sculpt both a unique sports car and an excellent country "wagon" from it.
Of the shortcomings of the Priory, racks should be noted. But part of the blame for their rapid wear and tear can be blamed on the quality of the roads, and besides, the racks on the Priora are not so expensive. Therefore, even if, with terribly poor operation, they “fly” in 5-6 years, they can be easily obtained and replaced.
Presented with the presence in the car of power steering, air conditioning, ABC system, with 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. Engines Grants develop power of 80, 90 and 98 horsepower, depending on the configuration. Improved dynamics and aerodynamics have reduced the acceleration time of the car to 100 km / h to 12 seconds. Salon Lada Grants is made in European style and is distinguished by special comfort and silence.
Here the buyer is offered a wider choice of trim levels: "norm", "standard" and "luxury". A more capacious trunk is a clear advantage, as our car owners, in the old fashioned way, strive to put almost a whole sofa in a passenger car. Well, if jokes aside, then 500 liters is quite an impressive volume for a hatchback class car.
Of the shortcomings, the driver will notice a small crack after a few thousand kilometers and the absence of an engine temperature sensor. But there are no complaints about safety. Some are also captivated by the later date of the 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 that is taken from Europe in personal experience will be much better. But why is the price of Priora still higher? This is already a question of pricing and the so-called "secret of the company."
What to choose?
Prior or Grant - the choice is more symbolic than some kind of technical. Almost identical cars with minor differences, created at the same enterprise. It is captivating that Lada Granta is 4 years younger than Priora, but an older, more experienced and already proven car can still give odds to the younger generation.
Fewer parts in the Grant may have been the reason for its cheapness. This also simplifies the design of the car, reduces weight and improves driving performance. Grant, as mentioned above, is a relatively new model in the automotive market, and no one yet fully knows how it can behave. This uncertainty and lack of knowledge scare buyers. Adding fuel to the fire is the price, which is perceived as "cheaper means worse."
Significant factors when choosing a car between Lada Granta hatchback and Lada Priora hatchback will be both 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 advised to purchase a Lada Grant because of the roomy trunk. Priora suits young people, lends itself perfectly to chic tuning and, as 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 at the moment it is much easier to get inexpensive used spare parts. But for Grants, you will have to look for either new ones or analogues from foreign cars that have already been in use, since the analysis of these cars is just beginning to take off.
As for the Lada Priora, here all the characteristics mentioned above are already losing their force, and it is necessary to compare exclusively by performance. For it doesn’t matter where the motor is better if one of them has already been moved three times, and it doesn’t even matter which gearbox, automatic or mechanic, if the first one becomes faulty immediately after signing the contract of sale. Each motorist makes a choice for himself, and therefore it is up to him to decide what to drive in the first place.
Currently, vehicles manufactured 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, in connection with which people who decide to give preference to the company's products often wonder whether Grant or Priora is better.
Introduction
The choice of our compatriots is determined by a number of parameters. The first and, I think, the most important is, of course, the price of the car. Compared to foreign cars, Lada products are not so expensive. Yes, and components, spare parts for cars on the market can be found much easier. They will also come out 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 article. These two vehicles, according to statistics, have become the best-selling copies among all models. It is possible that you just decided to buy a Lada. And here, logically, the question arises before the buyer. "Grant" or "Priora" - which is better? There is nothing strange in this, and we will try to deal with each of the cars in the most detail, find out its advantages and disadvantages. These two models have a lot in common. It is interesting that they are at the same time in quite different price categories. And this clearly does not play into the hands of the choice between the two cars. So the only method that will help us answer the question of whether "Grant" or "Priora" - which is better, will be a detailed analysis with all comparisons for similar types of car characteristics.
Comparison of external and internal appearance
At the very first stages of a detailed comparison of two cars (and we are talking not only about deciding whether Lada Granta or Priora is better), you must first of all pay attention to their interior and exterior. Perhaps someone will not agree with this, but this is not a personal opinion, but simply a statement of fact obtained from surveys of motorists.
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, much depends on the foreign "opponent". But again, based on foreign standards, we can safely say that in terms of its appearance, the Grant is much closer to the conditional bar than the Priora.
Thus, we are already beginning to form the prerequisites for answering the question of which is better: "Priora" or "Grant-liftback". Indeed, the latter looks quite nice compared to the other model. Although the “Priora” is far from a miss, it still lacks something in the fight in the “Grant”. Previously, some experts compared three models at once. They tried to answer the question of what is better: "Kalina", "Grant" or "Priora". The results were highly expected. But the topic of our article is somewhat different, so we will not be distracted by the analysis of the issue of three models already.
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 a complete set of the first car costs much less than the second. Here it is already unambiguous to say that in its appearance the Priora (although it is simply impossible to say that it looks terrible) is still inferior to the Grant. It seems that the scales at this moment should tilt in favor of the latest model, but nothing of the kind is happening. The fact is that in terms of seats, the Priora will be much more comfortable. You need to take into account the quality of the material from which they are made. Thus, “Lada Priora” equalizes the score. And we will continue to consider the characteristics of these two cars to find out which is better: Priora or Granta-sport.
Analysis of the technical equipment of cars
Probably no one will argue with the fact that many people, when choosing a car, pay special attention to the study of the so-called “fuel efficiency”. That is, attention is drawn to how much fuel an automobile 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 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 in the overwhelming number of them, for sure. Switching between gears has become much more convenient. Vibration almost completely disappeared somewhere.
Complete set
If we take two identical configurations, then in terms of fuel consumption, these car models will practically not differ. If you are among the motorists who prefer the automatic transmission, then most likely, like many of your like-minded people, cast your vote in favor of the Lada Grants. Let's not forget that the "Prior" 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 of the fact that they have a fairly reliable, high-quality suspension. But, no matter how reliable it is, Lada Granta will still have it better, since the model itself entered the market later than Priora. So, the suspension was developed by designers and engineers improved. So let's sum it up. Grant has a certain advantage in terms of technical characteristics. But in general, the models differ insignificantly from each other. Therefore, the advantage can be written not as a whole point, but only as a half. Next, we will consider how the cost of cars in different trim levels correlates, in order to then answer the question of what is better to take: "Grant" or "Priora".
The next stage of comparison
Of course, a review of technical characteristics, as well as their step-by-step comparison, is an excellent move, which in some cases allows drawing preliminary conclusions, preparing a preliminary result of the entire comparison. But relying on the opinion 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 vehicle configurations presented on market.
In general, about the price ratio
So, the cheapest version of the "Priora" will cost about the same amount as the "Grant", presented in a luxury configuration. If someone still does not understand what is at stake, we will try to explain a little more accessible and in more detail. If we take the above-mentioned “Grants” package, then it will have an electric power steering, air conditioning (which has recently been very important in the summer, especially in the South of Russia, where the temperature jumps up to 50 degrees during the day). Also, the “Grant” will have a built-in airbag. But if we take Priora for the same money for comparison, you simply won’t see all these elements in it, since they are not there. With similar "gadgets" "Priora" will cost much more.
"Priora": advantages and disadvantages
If we analyzed the models separately, then the latter, of course, could have several strengths. It is enough to remember that the Lada Priora is ergonomic. Evaluating it on a five-point scale, you can give a four. And confident and strong. Among our youth, this model is in considerable demand. Its production, as you know, started a few years ago, in 2007.
But car racks are a real minus of the model. Considering how unreliable roads are in our country, the racks are simply falling apart. If we pass a verdict on the basis of some general parameters, then it should be noted that in this regard, the Lada Priora is not bad. There are many buyers of the model at the present time. 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 air conditioning is added to them, as well as ABC, EBD. There is a noticeable discrepancy between the trim levels and in the appearance of the cars. The luxury model has fog lights, alloy wheels, parking sensors.
"Grant": advantages and disadvantages
And the Lada Granta is equipped with an engine that produces much less noise. This is achieved through the use of modern sound insulation modules in the design. The Lada Grants line is represented by three modifications, the engine power of which is, respectively, 80, 90 and 98 horsepower.
The interior of the car is carried out, one might say, in the European style. It is distinguished by its characteristics, namely a high level of silence and ride comfort. The production of the model started not so long ago, only in 2011. The basis was the device of the previous car - “Lada Kalina”. Already next year, three trim levels appeared on the car market under the names “Lux”, “Standard” and “Norma”.
The trunk of the "Grants" is more spacious than that of the "Priora". Its volume is 500 liters. But the model has its drawbacks, like every car. Having traveled several thousand kilometers on this car, all drivers are faced with the fact that the transport begins to crackle corny. There is no sensor that shows what temperature the engine has.
Who is Grant suitable for?
But in terms of safety, the car meets absolutely all standards and requirements. Entering a turn, moving at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, is difficult. Often people from 30 to 59 years old buy a car. But if, again, to answer the question of which is better: "Priora 2" or "Grant", based on average characteristics and facts, then here the answer is obvious: "Grant". The model turned out to be very successful, you can not argue with that.
Which is better: “Grant” or “Priora”? Owner reviews
Almost all owners note that the technical equipment of Grants will be better than that of its rival. Very often Priora has problems with the pump. Since the "Grant" was developed later, it is not at all surprising that the car has been technically improved. Many drivers who had previously used Kalina as a car moved to Grant, citing its advantages.
Choosing the best option
Lada cars today are very popular among our compatriots. This is due to the relatively low cost of cars, the availability of auto parts and components. At the peak of sales are two models: Priora and Grant. If you have definitely decided to purchase Lada, it will be quite difficult to choose between these two models.
The choice is complicated by the fact that Grants and Priora have a lot in common, although they are in different price categories. To think about the question of which is better should be after a thorough study of the characteristics of both models. Therefore, we present you a comparative analysis that will help you make a choice: Grant or her older brother Priora.
Characteristics of Lada Priora
This car is familiar to a large number of motorists under the index 2170. The model first appeared on the market 5 years ago, which is why it is quite famous and has already managed to gain fans. Priora was assembled on the basis of the VAZ 110 and on the side it is very reminiscent of the "top ten". The manufacturer's specialists claim that there are more than 1000 modified parts in the assembly of this model.
Everyone knows Priora
The hood, trunk, fenders and optics of the Priora are quite spectacular, especially if you take into account the year of its release. Everything looks harmonious and modern. Tires 185-65-P14 are great for a quiet and comfortable ride. The Priory salon was created for AvtoVAZ in Italy, it is comfortable and thought out almost to the smallest detail. The door trim has a huge number of details, however, after a while, a door creak characteristic of domestic cars may appear.
Engine capacity - 1.6 liters, power - 98 liters. With. Thanks to these characteristics, a speed of 100 km / h is reached in 11.5 seconds. At the moment, 2 complete sets of the model are available: “norm” and “luxury”. In the "normal": power steering, central locking, computer, headlight corrector, power windows, etc. In the "suite", in addition, there is air conditioning, ABC, EBD, airbag. These 2 configurations also differ in appearance: in the "suite" there are parking sensors, foglights and alloy wheels.
We can conclude that Lada Priora is an ergonomic car worthy of attention. It has everything that an experienced car enthusiast might like. Reviews about the model are more positive than negative.
Auto features
I would like to say in advance that the comparison of these two cars will not be entirely correct: they were released with a difference of as much as 4 years.
Model Grants 2014 harmoniously continues the classic line. Many analysts believe that the design of the car is noticeably close to European automotive standards. Although Grant is based on Kalina, it differs significantly. New parts, of which there are more than 2000 in the car, are made of alloy steel.
Grant is equipped with 3 types of engine: 80, 90 and 98 liters. With. Acceleration to 100 kilometers is carried out in 12 seconds. This figure is slightly higher than that of the Priora, however, the quiet operation of the motor, which is partly provided by excellent sound insulation, is considered an advantage.
The interior design is completely European, comfort and silence are a definite plus. More recently, information appeared that AvtoVAZ plans to equip Grant with automatic transmission, and this indicates a serious approach to the car. They are not going to install an automatic transmission on Priora, since the model is not prepared for such modifications. Lada Granta is presented in three trim levels: "norm", "standard" and "luxury".
All of the above characteristics showed that Grant against his fellow Priory looks much fresher and more powerful, while not forgetting to take into account the difference in years of production. The cost of cars is also very noticeably different: the price of Priora starts from 330 thousand rubles, Lada Grants - from 259 thousand rubles. This begs the question: why such a discrepancy? The answer is obvious: Grant has significantly reduced the number of details. What is better, Grant, which is still considered "green", or Priora, which has already managed to prove its reliability? All Priora's problems and ways to solve them have long been known, it's too early to talk about Grant.
The best thing to do would be to compare these two models in a few years, when Granta shows how reliable it is. Although, according to manufacturers, both cars can boast of ease of maintenance and operation. Choose Priora or her younger brother, only you. At the moment, Grant looks more modern, and for many it means better.
Recently, more and more car owners prefer Lada cars. The leading position in sales of this concern is occupied. Moreover, those who plan to purchase a domestic car cannot opt for a particular model for a long time. Priora or Grant, what to buy?
It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally, even though these two “brainchildren” of Lada are in different price categories, but they have a lot in common features and characteristics, and this makes the choice even more difficult.
Many are surprised what caused such love for the Russian auto industry. But here everything is just 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 domestic production, than a used foreign car. Why this happens is easy to explain. Buying good quality is hard. Basically, all cars are repaired after severe accidents, and no one is reluctant to take a pig in a poke.
But how to determine the winner in the battle between Priora vs Grant? To do this, it is necessary to make a comparative analysis of cars in all positions, this approach will help you decide when buying.
Grant vs. Priora: comparing the 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 vehicles, then the interior and exterior of domestic cars will dramatically lose, look poorer and more boring.
If we abstract from foreign cars and talk about each car specifically, then Grant has a more modern body and attractive design than its competitor Lada Priora. Moreover, the Priora in the basic configuration is much more expensive than its rival. Therefore, in the struggle between Priora and Grants, the second one wins in appearance and internal design. And one more plus in favor of Grants - in 2014, the car began to be produced in the back of a liftback (before that there was only a sedan). This version of the car looks very presentable and modern. If you don’t see the Lada nameplate, then Grant’s liftback may well pass for a “foreigner”. Priora is available in sedan, station wagon and hatchback, but the cars do not look as impressive as the Grant liftback.
The appearance of the body is the first thing the buyer pays attention to.
In 2014, Lada Priora underwent a restyling. True, the body has not changed radically. Lada Priora 2014 differs from the previous version with an updated bumper, grille and modified headlights. Also, the car was supplemented with new LED brake lights and rear dimensions.
But inside Lada Priora 2014 has changed dramatically. The front panel attracts with an updated design, and in expensive Priora trim levels, you can see cruise control and a modern one.
The backrest tilt mechanism in Lada Priora 2014 has also been improved, it now functions smoothly and clearly, as in Grant. Priory's seat heating system has become three-mode. Plastic pads appeared under the seats, covering the free space. In general, inside Priora has changed a lot, outside - so-so. And then it's up to you to decide whether you agree to overpay a very decent amount for the interior decoration of the cabin.
Compare specifications
In addition to an attractive appearance and an inexpensive price, each car owner pays attention to various engine characteristics. If we return to the confrontation between Grant and Prior, then both cars are equipped with almost identical engines. The difference will vary slightly depending on the configuration chosen. According to experts, Grants' gearbox is better than that of its rival Priora. Granta is currently being produced with an updated manual transmission, which is many times better than the previous one. Switching gears is now much more convenient, and the vibration that was present before has disappeared.
The amount of gasoline that both one and the other car consumes with the same technical characteristics does not differ much. Since 2014, Priora has been produced with a robotic gearbox, like Grant. True, the cost of Priora with such a box will be about 500 thousand rubles, but this is not about that 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 at first Grant clearly defeated Grant in a duel between cars in terms of driving performance, then after 2014, when Priora underwent a number of changes, they practically became even.
But, to the sadness of many car owners, all the changes that took place with the Priora in 2014 did not add power to the car, this car is not for racing. Its potential power is 98 and 106 hp. but Grant has a sports modification, and she already has 118 “horses” under the hood. Someone will say that this is also not enough, but the owners' reviews say otherwise. Machine with sports stuffing is very frisky.
Lada Granta or Priora: equipment and price
Of course, everyone wants to have a reliable and modern car equipped with a powerful engine, but one should not forget about the cost of a car. So, the cheapest Priora model in the basic configuration, regardless of the body, will cost about the same as (liftback) in the luxury configuration. Of course, not in the most equipped, but still luxury.
To make it easier to decide whether Priora or Lada Grant, we will consider each car separately. So, Priora - this model is very ergonomic and can get a solid four on a five-point scale. The car enjoys great love among the younger generation, who are happy to tune the Priora, remaking it "for themselves."
The production of this vehicle began in 2007, in 2014 a restyling was carried out, which, as already mentioned, did not really change the appearance, but added to the technical specifications and interior. The most important improvement in Priore 2014 is the racks, which simply fell apart in the previous version. This was a huge disadvantage of the car. In general, 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 to be produced in 2011. She immediately interested many buyers with an attractive design and low price. The machine is equipped with a fairly quiet engine and a modern soundproofing system. The salon does not differ in special chic, but it is quite comfortable when driving. The model left the assembly line in 2011, in 2014, in addition to the sedan, a liftback was also released. Grant is available in three trim levels: standard, norm and luxury. The cheapest and “empty” car will cost the buyer a little more than 300 thousand rubles.
If we talk about safety, then Grant adequately coped with European crash tests. Of course, the car has its drawbacks, 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 leave the assembly line in 2014 after minor restyling, then the quality has increased markedly.
So which car is better?
The differences between the cars are insignificant and the grant winning is more likely related to the year of its release.
Of course, each person chooses a car to his taste and pocket. But given all the characteristics described above, Grant wins several points over Priora, if only because the first is more modern than its competitor. Even the fact that Priora was updated in 2014 does not really save her. By the way, there is information that 2015 is the last year when Priora is released, it should be replaced by a completely new model.
In addition to the appearance and technical characteristics, the Grant is cheaper than its competitor. This is also due to the fact that fewer parts are used in its assembly.
But Priora also has undeniable advantages. This machine has performed excellently. The problems and "sores" of the model have long been known, it is not necessary to wait for any surprises when purchasing it.

If you listen to the opinion of experts, then there is no significant difference between the two vehicles. When choosing, rely on the available funds and your own preferences. Good luck choosing!
