Nothing different from a hatchback. But it only seems, in fact, everything is not so. It is worth noting right away that the Priora coupe is assembled completely by hand. In addition, this assembly does not take place on a general assembly line, but in a specialized workshop of an automobile plant.
If you look at the car from the front, then apart from the bumper, you won’t be able to notice anything outstanding - the usual Priora in the “luxury” configuration. The bumper, although at first glance it is not such a significant detail, makes the front of the Priora coupe sport completely different from other models of this brand. If you look from the side, it immediately becomes clear why this car is a coupe. This vehicle has only one door on each side. But their length was increased.
On the fender you can see the nameplate "SE" instead of the turn signal, that is, the sports version. The turn signal itself can be found on the side mirror. It is worth noting that the sports model of the Priora coupe is supplied only in a luxury configuration. In other words, the owner of this vehicle will be able to have parking sensors, seat heating, fog lights, air conditioning, an alarm system, two airbags, power windows, etc. in this model.
In appearance, the car seems a little shorter than a hatchback. But it only seems. Specialists immediately install a spoiler on the sold car, on its back door.
Due to the lack of two doors, sitting in the driver's seat has become more comfortable. But passengers seated in the back will feel less comfortable. But still, there is comfort there, there is where to put your feet. The interior for the Priora coupe was developed by an Italian company, and the effect of this is immediately noticeable, one has only to pay attention to the solid leather upholstery of the seats. The sensors on which were painted in a different color have also changed. In addition, immediately and four columns.
The trunk of the sports version also pleases with its volume - it reaches about three hundred liters. You can, of course, increase it by removing the shelf and folding the seats, but this will be difficult to do due to the design characteristics of the transport. Well, this is a sports version, not a cargo model.
Engine with sixteen-valve head. Its power reaches 98 hp. The electronics have changed, due to which the speed and dynamic performance were immediately increased. The engine of the Priora coupe calmly maintains a speed of about 140 km / h. Noise isolation is also at a high level. After about 85 km / h, it completely turns off which is a pleasant surprise. The suspension on the car is a little stiffer than in other models, but this is correct, since the sports version should stay on the road confidently.
We can say that for a person who wants to buy an inexpensive and reliable car, Priora coupe is a worthy option. Tuning is always possible to do. So it is not worth giving up such a vehicle.
The small-scale Priora coupe first appeared in 2010 and has been gaining popularity among fans of AvtoVAZ products every year. At the end of last year, the coupe was restyled, which gave the car more sportiness, and already at the beginning of this year, the list of available trim levels for the three-door Lada Priora was expanded, making the new product much more attractive in terms of price.
The Lada Priora coupe was built on the basis of the hatchback of the same name, from which the sports car inherited not only the chassis, but also most of the body panels. A more sporty look is given to the novelty by new bumpers, a spoiler and aerodynamic alloy wheels available in the Sport package. As for the dimensions, the length of the coupe is 4210 mm in the base and 4243 mm in the top version, the width of the body in all cases is 1680 mm, and the height is 1435 mm. The wheelbase of the coupe is 2492 mm. The curb weight does not exceed 1185 kg.
The interior of the Lada Priora Coupe is also based on the hatchback interior, so we won’t dwell on it much, but we’ll only note that in the top version of the Lada Priora coupe, the Lada Priora gets a different instrument panel, seat upholstery and steering wheel made of artificial leather, as well as chrome inserts and gloss in the design of the front panel.
The boot space of the coupe is similar to that of the hatchback and in standard condition holds 360 liters of cargo, but if you fold the rear row of seats, the usable space will expand to 705 liters.
Specifications. If before restyling the Lada Priora coupe was offered with only one available engine, now the engine lineup has been replenished with a flagship power unit, previously announced on Priora sedans and hatchbacks. The base engine remained the same 1.6-liter in-line four-cylinder engine capable of developing no more than 98 hp. power at 5600 rpm. The engine torque at its peak is 145 Nm at 4000 rpm, which allows the coupe to accelerate to a top speed of 180 km/h, while spending about 6.9 liters of gasoline for every 100 km of travel in the combined cycle.
In the top modification Lada Priora Coupe also receives a 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol unit, but with a new system of electronically controlled distributed fuel injection and dynamic boost, due to which the maximum engine power is increased to 106 hp. at 5800 rpm. At the same time, it was not possible to achieve a significant increase in torque, its peak in the flagship engine is 148 Nm, developed at 4000 rpm, which is enough to make a starting acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in an average of 11.5 seconds. Note that with an increase in engine power, it has become a little more economical than the younger model and consumes an average of about 6.8 liters per 100 km. Both motors are aggregated only with a 5-speed “mechanics”, which in the future is planned to be replaced with a similar one in terms of steps, but already with a cable drive.
As mentioned above, the Lada Priora Coupe chassis is borrowed from the updated Priora hatchback. This means that the coupe received an independent front suspension on MacPherson struts and a dependent design at the rear. At the same time, the suspension settings have not changed much and have undergone only minor adjustments, which should contribute to a more dynamic driving style.
Options and prices. The Lada Priora coupe is offered in three trim levels: "Standard", "Norma" and "Sport", while the coupe remains the only car in the Lada Priora line that has the basic "Standard" package, in which the manufacturer included only 14-inch stamped wheels, frontal airbags, power windows, audio preparation, trip computer, central locking, cabin filter, tilt steering column and alarm.
The price of Lada Priora Coupe for 2015 in the basic version starts at 446,000 rubles. For the top-end Sport version, which includes alloy wheels, an aerodynamic body kit, ABS + BAS, a leather interior, a 106-horsepower engine, a rain sensor, fog lights, electric/heated side mirrors, a multimedia system, electric power steering and climate control, you will have to pay more less than 488,900 rubles.
The Lada Priora line consists of a hatchback, a sedan, a station wagon and a stand-alone Lada priora coupe. The only three-door model on this list brings a touch of sportiness to the family. However, it soon became clear that the car could be in even greater demand if its cost were reduced.
The appearance of the coupe
The front and rear of the coupe are visually very similar to the hatchback taken as a basis. However, a side view immediately puts everything in its place. Immediately striking is its three-door design and modified wings. However, do not think that this is a budget option, by no means. The idea of AvtoVAZ engineers: to create a powerful sports horse for everyday use. The car demonstrates a serious top-end sports equipment, an attractive appearance with a touch of sporty style, which belongs to the original bumper, spoiler and alloy wheels.
The absence of rear doors did not affect the dimensions of the car in any way, it did not become more compact. The original front doors received an enlarged design. But in the process of landing the rear passengers had to make adjustments.
Access to the rear seats opens only after folding the front seats, which are attached with a special folding mechanism.
base model
Sales of the unique car Priora coupe sport started back in 2010. For the production of an experimental model, a whole branch of the OPP (pilot production) of the Volzhsky plant was allocated. Hand-crafted with improved body fit and 150 custom-made parts for the model lift the car above its peers in terms of build quality and equipment.
Technically Lada Priora coupe 2009–2013 looked like this.
Initially, the base was the top of the range sports. In 2013, Lada Priora coupe saw the light in standard and norm modifications.
Complete sets of models depending on the modification
The first version of the Lada Priora coupe, produced from 2009 to 2013, was offered only in the top configuration with one type of engine: a 1.6-liter 16-valve with a power of 98 hp. With. The restyled version has a more powerful 106 hp engine. With. with a new electronically controlled distributed injection system. She gave, though insignificant, but still a decrease in fuel consumption - up to 6.8 liters, and this with an increase in engine power. The gearbox in all cases is a 5-speed manual.
Cabin filling is very similar to hatchbacks, this is not surprising, because he was taken as a basis. However, there are still differences that bring their own flavor to the interior of the Lada Priora coupe:
- modified instrument panel;
- artificial leather on the steering wheel and seat upholstery;
- soft upholstery covering the shield;
- chrome and gloss inserts.
The Priora sports coupe is larger than its more modest counterparts. With a body length of the base model of 4210 mm, the sports modification has an increased length - 4243 mm (due to the original bumpers). For the first time, it was decided to change the configuration of the model in the direction of reduction in order to reduce the cost and increase demand.
After the completion of the Lada Priora Coupe Sport, a modification of the norm saw the light. The car lost the front passenger airbag, climate control, light / rain sensors, heated / electrically adjustable mirrors, rear power windows, alloy wheels, while retaining ABS, heated front seats, steering wheel adjustment, central locking with remote control. However, the sports equipment cannot boast of the presence of parking sensors and an on-board computer.
The update also affected the appearance: decorative elements, such as a spoiler, were discarded. All these abolitions made it possible to reduce the price tag by more than 40 thousand rubles. In defense of a simplified configuration, in addition to the price tag, you can put forward the main argument for lovers of adapting a car “for themselves”: it is much easier to carry out in a dismantled one.
At one time, the car enjoyed a certain popularity, but the falling demand at the end of 2015 forced AvtoVAZ to stop producing this model. Although the car came out sporty for the most part due to visual elements, in any case, the owners of the Prior coupe can be sure that their car is almost exclusive.
In our hands - Lada Kalina Sport! Not in the yellow color of the Premier, but still ... And in a couple we took a three-door Lada Priora Coupe with the same 98-horsepower engine. These are the most expensive native Russian cars - 385 thousand rubles for Kalina and 408 thousand for Priora!
But instead of the race track, we, as real owners of tuned VAZs, had to go to the service.
Both Kalina Sport and Priora Coupe are produced in small batches in the OPP, the pilot production of AvtoVAZ. Kalina has 15-inch KIK wheels, large cells of the radiator grille, a wide mouth of the front bumper, an imitation of a diffuser in the rear bumper and a neat spoiler on the fifth door. Sporty. The three-door Priora looks worse - the sidewall, divided by a single pillar, is heavy. Thanks to the long door, getting behind the wheel is easier, but the first thing the tall Oleg Rastegaev did, pushing the seat all the way back, was to turn on the right turn signal with his knee. Alas, even though the seat moves 35 millimeters further than on a regular Priora, and is located 32 mm lower, this did not solve the problem.
Lada Kalina Sport
Lada Priora Coupe
White kokoshniks only spoiled the laconic instrument panel of Kalina, and the orange backlight is not as pleasant as the green one on the Priora's informative panel
And the chair itself ... Twenty years ago, on the "eights" backlash backlash in the same way! It’s good that the stuffing here is denser than usual: you don’t drown in the foam rubber of the pillow. But the steering wheel is shifted to the left, you have to reach for the gear lever, and turning on the fifth gear is not complete without the traditional bow to the VAZ people: thanks, they say, dear ones ... The same ritual is repeated when landing back, and in addition, you need to make sure that your foot does not fall into the loop hanging seat belt.
Another thing is Kalina - the front seats manufactured by AvtoVAZagregat with personalized embroidery are hard and comfortable, the back hugs the waist pleasantly. Too bad the seats are too high. But the range of longitudinal movement will suit anyone. The ball of the gear lever itself sticks into the palm of your hand, and your feet stand on the pedals with nice metal lining. Go!
It's nice to attack turns on Kalina Sport! Banks are much less than ordinary "berries", and the steering wheel is more informative and sharper. You can’t say the same about Priora Coupe ...
The motors of the "athletes" are the same - sixteen-valve 1.6 with a power of 98 hp, but subjectively Kalina is more powerful than twenty forces! In Priora, you can hear the gears in the gearbox making noise, the antifreeze gurgling in the expansion tank, and when the air conditioner is on, a loud whistle of a slipping drive belt is heard from under the hood. With such a "service" accompaniment, turning the motor is scary, but necessary. Firstly, the cars have already been run-in, and secondly, the Priorov engine, although it pulls well from idle, is quickened just at the “tops”, after 3500 rpm. The cut-off roughly cuts off acceleration at 6100 rpm, but by 4000 rpm the combined ensemble of gears, pulleys and shafts begins to play such cacophonous chords that you involuntarily think about the imminent death of the motor.
Lada Priora Coupe, 2010
I bought this car in 2011 under a special offer with a discount for the year of manufacture. A new car at that time cost 408 thousand rubles. The discount for the year of issue was 50 thousand rubles. The complete set for the “coupe” is one and the maximum: parking sensors, 5 alloy wheels, fog lights, light and rain sensor, heated seats / mirrors, air conditioning, power accessories, ABS, 2 airbags. 98 "horses" for this relatively light machine is enough. Sharp accelerations, overtaking on narrow roads, turns in the city - everything can be done with confidence in the engine and chassis. Management is quite easy (electric power steering) and informative. The steering wheel is not sharp like on the Focus and not rolly like on the Volvo. Something average. The main thing is that the car allows sharp changes from lane to lane when overtaking. Often I drive at speeds of 120-150, sometimes 160-180 (on very good roads). Once we raced with the Passat B5 - we accelerated it to 200, then the arrow hit the limit, and the Lada Priora Coupe could no longer go faster. In such modes, fuel consumption did not exceed 9 liters. Usually I keep it at the level of 8-8.5 (I drive sharply). I fill everything: 92, 95, branded fuels. Eats everything, no complaints. Of the inconveniences - the rattling of the rear shelf (replaced it with an acoustic one - it became quiet) and uncomfortable seats (there is not enough lumbar support and lateral support). It’s very crowded in the back of the Lada Priora Coupe (that’s why such cars don’t work in taxis), but I don’t drive anyone there. This Coupe and she is for me. Of the amenities - wide doors, a nice torpedo design, an inaudible cabin fan, everything is in its place (handles, switches), an armrest. The body is quite rigid, because. 3 doors. But a very weak paintwork - the hood is covered in spots. Weak front bumper - it is pricked for one or two, thin iron of the front fenders. The color "Quartz" is very successful, beautiful and not easily soiled. Ill-conceived sill fairings - when setting up a jack, they can be split. New ones are very difficult to find, and they cost cosmic 3.5 thousand rubles. Reliability 5 points. For a run of 102 thousand km in 22 months, I drove this car from Kostroma to: Arkhangelsk, Sochi, Anapa, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Murmansk and other cities (and not at the same address). For all the time on the road with the Lada Priora Coupe, 2 malfunctions happened: the engine “troubled” for 96 thousand km - the ignition coil burned out (I drove to the store, a new coil 1150, replaced in 10 minutes) and the dipped beam lamps burned out several times. And that's it. There were minor malfunctions when I bought the Lada Priora Coupe. It's no secret that we need to bring our cars to perfection ourselves, and not rely on the factory.
Advantages : reliability. Unpretentiousness. Lots of options. Moderately stiff suspension - good handling.
Flaws : comfort compared to foreign cars. Weak paintwork, thin metal.

Lada Priora Coupe, 2011
I will list all the pros and cons of the Lada Priora Coupe. What I liked: it warms up quickly. 5 minutes and 90 degrees. Autostart - you sit down already in a warm salon. Good light (shines approximately like on 2109). The same dynamics on the 92nd and 95th gasoline. Or the 95th gasoline slipped poor quality. Heated seats and a warm stove. When he slept, he literally fried in the car because of the included stove. An interesting feature is that the Lada Priora Coupe also warms up well at idle. It blows like a good propeller with a powerful stream. Rigid suspension. A little softer. A frisky engine - 170 km per hour travels. Loved the large mirrors with turn signal repeaters. You can see everything and everyone behind the car. The electric headlight corrector is definitely ahead of the hydrocorrector. The appearance of the Lada Priora Coupe is quite personal. Although for an amateur. What I didn't like: low, well, very straight. Flimsy front bumper, unlike 2109. Plastic does not wrinkle, but simply bursts. Although it may have been a hard blow, I did not see it, but there was not a trace left on the car of the offender of my Priora. Something creaked in the left side from birth. As if a piece of foil from a chocolate bar was specially placed somewhere. There is no position of the stove on the sides and in the center. It is very annoying (when driving at -30), either the side or front windows fog up. Somehow not well thought out. Although the stove pleases with its warmth. Noise isolation is bad. Comfortable driving speed up to 140. At -30 it starts longer and worse than an 8-valve engine. There doesn't seem to be anything more to add.
Advantages : frisky engine. Warm oven. visibility.
Flaws : clearance. Plastic bumpers. Noise isolation.

Lada Priora Coupe, 2010
So, it was and is my first car. Bought Lada Priora Coupe in June 2010 in Kurgan. For those who are not in the know, this is the city in which BMP 1, 2, and 3 are produced. In general, for a little more than a year and a half of operation, Lada Priora Coupe did not provide any special surprises, the mileage was mainly wound on country roads in the Kurgan and Tyumen regions. The car never provided special surprises in the form of unexpectedly failed mechanisms, units and others like them - and this is a big plus. On the downside: The black plastic sill between the front and rear wheel arches fades quite well in the sun and becomes mottled white, had to be removed and painted in matte black. The LED backlight, built in at the factory, "ordered to live for a long time" due to poor contacts within a week after use. From the factory, my Lada Priora Coupe received a “mowing” power package. His problem was expressed in a faulty electric adjustment of the right outside rear-view mirror, a faulty power window on the front right and the only one on the right side of the door. Well, I won’t even talk about the joints between body elements, all VAZ owners have come across this (a trifle, although unpleasant). Positive aspects: amazing views of passers-by in literally all cities and towns of our country. Whoever has any opinion, but the suspension from the SS-20 company does wonders with the chassis and the behavior of the car. One tanker in one of the districts of the Tyumen region surprised me when he asked how much time I spent to cut out such a body from a 5-door Priory. I changed “consumables” on time at official service stations, though in different regions, I love the car, in my free time I put a “gloss” in it, therefore, she reciprocates me and does not bestow “gifts”. The Saratov-made battery serves faithfully, for the entire period of operation it recharged twice and topped up once. In general, the car, if you put your hands and head on it, will not particularly please, but it will also upset you.
Advantages : appearance. Unpretentiousness.
Flaws : build. WHA quality.

Lada Priora Coupe, 2011
I myself drive a Mercedes in the 211th body, a decent car, but sometimes it’s really a pity to drive it. The idea has matured to purchase something that will be a strong and reliable car for inexpensive money, i.е. the choice fell, of course, on the VAZ 2114, because the 14 is the same 9, which is a very workhorse. While I was waiting and choosing the “fourteenth”, the option turned up with the purchase of Lada Priora Coupe at that moment with the maximum factory equipment (leather interior, climate control, tape recorder with all possible functions, power steering, ABS, body kits, spoiler). The choice was obvious, Lada Priora Coupe surpassed the "14th" in everything and it was decided to take it. Now let's talk about the car itself. After acquiring this car, the following was immediately done: complete sound insulation of the cabin in 3 layers, the engine compartment was insulated, everything that was possible was glued, xenon was installed everywhere, the locks were changed, the alarm system, well, basically everything. Now the mileage is already 44 thousand and during this time it has not let me down even once, the only thing that I can’t beat is the creaking of the rear shelf, but this is not only a problem for Priora, but for all hatchbacks and station wagons. Even on the Lexus GX470, our rear seats creak when folded down. Of course, I try to drive a Mercedes to the track, but I very often drive around the city on the Lada Priora Coupe, I don’t even start a Mercedes. I don’t do maintenance at the dealer on this car, because AvtoVAZ does not give any guarantee for its cars, and in fact, what kind of service? Oil and spark plugs can be changed anywhere.
Advantages : never let me down.
Flaws : small.

Lada Priora Coupe, 2010
First impressions of the Lada Priora Coupe: comfortable seats (exclusively after the Kalinovskys, which absolutely do not suit me) and good headlights. Well, a car is like a car. We were immediately told when buying that the car needs to change consumables. Therefore, all filters, oil, candles were replaced. Did everything myself. This is why I like our cars, you can do almost everything yourself, and inexpensively. And if malfunctions appear, they are easily identified and corrected (by the way, no one at Ford could find out why the central lock refuses to work). Oh yes, almost immediately the pump rustled and was immediately replaced, the rollers with the belt were fresh. The car is economical, both in terms of maintenance and gasoline. Now the onboard consumption is 6.5 l / 100 km. Lada Priora Coupe is operated in everyday mode, in winter there were problems with the battery, it was replaced and now there are no problems. Starts in any weather and goes where necessary. In winter it was up to -35, it was always possible to start. In my Lada Priora Coupe, the stove heats up well, my friend’s interior does not warm up at all. Why so - I do not know. Complete set maximum, there is autotemperature. I was surprised when I saw that it really works. Now I almost always go with auto temperature. I can't remember anything else. And now about the main disadvantages: for sure it is written in all the reviews, I haven’t read it, I don’t know, but the weakest point of the priors is the timing. There are already a lot of cases of breakage, and this is immediately a head repair. But on the other hand, for the same 20 thousand, you can repair the entire internal combustion engine here, and on Ford I only changed the liners. Very noisy. Well, it's just in general, everything that can rattle / creak - rattles and creaks. Again, 20 thousand and you drive in silence. Summary. I sincerely do not understand why everyone is throwing mud at AvtoVAZ. Yes, I will never buy a new VAZ. But slightly used. buy with joy, because cars work out their price.
Advantages : economical in terms of maintenance. Runs in any weather. Comfortable seats.
Flaws : soundproofing. Timing belt.
