Priora, the fuel consumption of which can be the most diverse, in some cases is not a very economical car, but this is more often the fault of the motorist himself than the manufacturer. After all, in order for the car to carefully consume gasoline, you need to follow a number of requirements and know the features of your car.
Light Priora can consume less fuel?
This is an economical car.
Firstly, it is interesting that fuel consumption can depend on the color of the car. The ubiquitous Americans conducted tests, during which it was found that light-colored models consume 1.2% less fuel, because at high temperatures (in the sun), the temperature in the cabin of a silver-colored car is 5 degrees lower than in a black model . Therefore, 13% less energy is used to cool the passenger compartment.
Lada Priora, unlike its domestic predecessors, is equipped with an air conditioning system, so the color of a car in the southern regions of Russia can play some role. What specific equipment is in the car - Taiwanese (Panasonic) or Korean (Halla), you can find out from the specification.
According to user reviews, both lines of cooling devices work with high quality, so it really may turn out that in a car of the color "white cloud", "snow queen" or "poplar fluff" fuel consumption will be less than in a car with colors in the style of "space", " panther", "Sochi" (sea green) or "port wine" (plum).
The increase in fuel consumption due to the use of air conditioning is about 3%, which is not always noticeable. But in the heat, when the cooling is running at full capacity, the engine takes more energy for the functioning of the air conditioner, which is why there is an increase in consumption up to 10-12%.
Getting rid of excess
Fuel consumption is directly affected by the operation of additional headlights.
Many Priora drivers pay extra at gas stations because of their own laziness, because they often carry unnecessary cargo in the trunk, forgetting that an extra centner inside the car changes the average fuel consumption by 100 km per liter upwards. The same should be said about those who, having used the trunk after trips, do not remove unnecessary racks from the roof, increasing aerodynamic resistance. Experts believe that without special need it is not necessary to use the following nodes.
since it has been established that for every hour of heating, for example, the rear window, about 100 g of gasoline is consumed. Fans of "body kits" should also think about the fact that additional "beauty" can increase costs during refueling Priora.
Those owners of a Priora sedan who do not follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the choice of tires and wheels of a certain configuration, not only risk their health and life on the road, but may also increase their fuel costs. This is due to the fact that, for example, wide wheels give more aerodynamic resistance than narrow ones, so gasoline is consumed in the first case in a larger amount. In addition, a significant increase in consumption (about 5%) gives an incorrectly set wheel angle.
Checking the angle of the Priora car is carried out on special stands, in running order. In this case, the camber can be 0 degrees ±30’, the toe-in is 0±1 mm at the angle of longitudinal inclination of the axis of rotation of 1 degree 30’±30’. With the correct setting of this parameter, fuel costs are reduced, which is especially noticeable when driving long distances.
Gasoline consumption also depends on how much pressure is pumped into Priora tires. It is recommended to check this parameter at least once a month, because at low pressures (0.4 atmospheres lower than usual), rolling resistance increases and because of this the car consumes more gasoline (up to 10%), tires wear out faster.
Additional fuel consumption due to faulty equipment
Priora sedan claims to be a car that is close to the European class in terms of environmental standards, so it has catalysts - devices in which the exhaust mixture is burned to an environmentally friendly one. They are located on the receiving pipe or behind it and often fail due to burning or destruction. In this case, no matter what the economical mode of gasoline consumption, the car will “eat” it additionally (+ 10%), since additional exhaust resistance is created, which the ECU analyzes as a large load and gives a signal to increase consumption. Sometimes replacement (or dismantling) gives good results, in other cases, you need to pay attention to the operation of adjacent machine systems.
On-board computer of the machine
The vehicle control ECU may also incorrectly read information from sensors that measure air consumption and, accordingly, give the wrong signal which carburetion mode to use for the engine. And the reason for this is a clogged air filter, which you just need to change in a timely manner.
Also, the Priora sedan can additionally consume fuel if the ECU receives data from unadjusted coolant temperature sensors, throttle valve, intake air flow rate, air mass discharge in the intake manifold or oxygen sensors. To eliminate them, electronic diagnostics are needed, since it is very difficult to find a malfunction here by brute force.
Nodes, malfunctions in which increase gasoline consumption
What element can cause unstable fuel pressure, which, in turn, leads to increased consumption? As a rule, this is either a fuel pump (worn out under the influence of the smallest particles from low-quality fuel), or a clogged fine filter, or a mesh in a gasoline pump. The electronic brain of the car in this case is based on a constant pressure, and when it is lowered, there is no way to compensate even with maximizing the injection time of the mixture, so fuel consumption only increases.
On Priora injection engines, an increase in gasoline consumption may be due to contamination on the injectors themselves. In this case, the quality of spraying and the shape of the "torch" of spraying are violated, the result of which is a decrease in efficiency, the appearance of "triple", useless burnout of part of the fuel in the manifold.
Reasons for wasting fuel
What other component of the car can give additional costs at a gas station? It is worth paying attention to possible flaws in the operation of an automatic transmission, where the locking clutch may, due to a malfunction, not allow you to shift to a higher gear, which is the most economical.
Do not forget about such an option that is on the Priora car today, like “cruise control”. What effect does it give? This system maintains the vehicle's speed automatically. During the operation of the mode, there is a quick transition to a higher gear and coasting is actively used, which gives some motorists significant savings in gasoline.
When buying a car, the owner looks at the characteristics of the car, including how much it will cost to spend on gas. If we talk about Lada Priora, the fuel consumption indicated in the description, according to motorists, does not fully correspond to actual indicators. Therefore, it is worth comparing the numbers, taking into account additional factors and fully understanding the matter.
Theoretical indicators
Priora's factory specifications indicate what fuel consumption this car has. But the data are averaged and do not reflect the full picture. The manufacturer claims that this 16-valve car with a power of 98 horsepower and a manual transmission “eats” 6.9 liters per hundred kilometers of the road.
And at the same time, the flagship model, which drives an “automatic” with five gears, spends 6.6 liters per 100 km from 106 horsepower. But a variation of a car without automatic transmission for 106 horsepower "eats" 6.8 liters, passing the same distance. All calculations of the cost of Lada Priora per 100 km are made in a mixed mode.
The table shows the consumption of a 16-valve Lada Priora with a 1.6-liter gas tank on a route passing along a highway or a busy city.
Based on the indicators, we can conclude that the route is the most economical mode. Gasoline consumption at Priore, regardless of power and gearbox, is significantly lower.
In the 8-valve Priora 1.6 MT 90 horsepower on a 100-kilometer country road, 6.2 liters are consumed. While it will travel the same amount along the city streets, but 8.8 liters will already be used up.
But 1.8 MT 123 liters. With. on a long, even path, it will spend 5.4 liters, having traveled a hundred kilometers, and on busy streets, the same distance will require burning 9.8 liters of gasoline.
Actual performance
Experienced car owners know that in practice, values \u200b\u200bcan fluctuate for a number of reasons. And it would be inappropriate to demand accurate calculations from the manufacturer. Indeed, in the winter season, Priora's consumption can reach very high rates, both in the city (12-14 liters) and outside it (8-9 liters). And in the warm season, when driving along the highway at the optimum speed, the value can give the result: the city - from 9 to 11 liters, and the highway - 5.5-6.5 liters.
Causes of increased "appetite"
Lada Priora: fuel consumption per 100 km may suddenly change, although other conditions remain unchanged. This factor makes it clear that a failure has occurred, most often the problem lies in the gasoline supply control system. With the help of specialized hardware, it is necessary to diagnose and troubleshoot.
Priora's fuel consumption may also increase because:
- The pressure in the fuel system is no longer stable and sufficient. This means that the nozzles or filters may be clogged, or the pump simply has a resource shortage.
- The catalytic converter is clogged in the same system.
- The air filter is clogged.
- Constantly the motor has the wrong temperature: excessively cold or overheated.
- There were other problems inside the car.
- Winter season. During bad weather and cold weather, the car is especially vulnerable.
- The driver has a habit of quickly accelerating and braking while driving.
- Unsuitable or poor quality gasoline is being used.
- The air conditioner or other device powered by electricity is turned on.
To identify the reason why the fuel consumption of Lada Priora has changed dramatically, it is worth conducting diagnostics in the service station. If no significant defects are found there, it is recommended to analyze the above list and compare it with your actions, travel conditions.
What other factors influence
The operation of the engine itself affects the Priora's fuel consumption, and various manipulations cause the nozzles to inject more mixture into the cylinders. This occurs when shifting the gear selector, hard braking or accelerating, as well as during frequent turning of the ignition key.
The next most important factor why Priore's fuel consumption has increased is the air conditioner, especially if it is running at full capacity. If it is necessary to influence the climate, it is not recommended to turn on the maximum to achieve a quick result. It's better to do it gradually.
An unheated engine increases Priora's fuel consumption. Therefore, it is important to take care of reaching the optimum temperature. Approximately the same effect is exerted by headlights on a trip, insufficient tire pressure and open windows (noticeable at a speed of 55 km / h).
Prevention techniques
The high consumption of gasoline on the Priore can be brought back to normal, using logic and common sense. After checking the systems with the master, it is necessary to correct the shortcomings, if any. Or, by eliminating problems of this nature, master the driving techniques that will prevent overspending:
- It is necessary to monitor the pressure in the tires, to prevent a serious deviation from the mark of 2.0 atm. This can be done at gas stations, using purchased equipment at home or at other special points.
- It is necessary to ensure that the windows are closed during the movement, as well as to remove the roof rack from the roof, if there is one. It is not difficult to perform, and the consumption of the machine will decrease.
- Reconsider driving style: take care of a smooth change in speed, do not change it unnecessarily.
- Use engine braking.
- If the engine has not reached the desired temperature, it is important to warm it up, this can be done in the process of movement.
- Do not fill the car with other gasoline than the 95th.
- Turn off the climate controls while driving.
If you follow these recommendations, then the fuel consumption of Lada Priora will significantly decrease. You can additionally consult with a professional, since the combustion of "excess" fuel significantly affects the financial situation of the owner. There is a reason to seriously work on this issue.
Conclusion
Fuel consumption (Lada Priora), according to the manufacturer's specifications, is average. But in practice, the numbers are somewhat different, since a lot depends on the car itself, the presence or absence of defects in it, as well as the driving process. In summer, move economically compared to the winter period, when Priora's consumption reaches the highest levels, as for this model.
You can try to install gas equipment and use its product as fuel. Then there is more chance that gas consumption at Priore will not be as expensive as in the case of 95th gasoline.

A rare motorist does not want to achieve a real reduction in fuel consumption. We will tell you how to do this without buying miracle devices that turn out to be just a scam.
1 The car is eating fuel - what is the reason?
Fuel consumption varies by vehicle and driver. The first group of reasons, when the car, as the drivers themselves say, eats gasoline, is purely technical. It is associated with wear or malfunction of components, parts, mechanisms. It is possible to reduce fuel consumption only by replacing worn parts or repairing, the complexity in each case depends on the mechanism that does not cope with its functions. Other circumstances depend entirely on the driver, his ability to drive a car, what he likes to put on him, how he loads and other things.
Technical reasons include:
- Ignition system malfunctions. Late ignition even by 1° increases fuel consumption by 1%. A large gap in the candles causes interruptions, fuel consumption increases by 4%.
- Wear of the cylinder-piston group, gas distribution mechanism. Increased gaps in the CPG reduce compression, it is required to increase speed, more fuel is consumed. Timing wear causes loss of tightness, power is lost, more expensive fuel is spent.
- Low tire pressure increases resistance, more fuel is consumed: up to 3% at a pressure of 1.5 atm instead of 2.0. Incorrect wheel alignment impairs control, causes drifts, which reduces efficiency.
- Driving on a cold engine increases fuel consumption by up to 10%. Caused by a stuck thermostat or faulty sensor in the cooling system.
- A poor-quality combustible mixture can be supplied even if you refuel with good fuel. The first reason is a dirty air filter, little air enters. If you often use low-quality fuel, the nozzles become clogged, not enough fuel reaches the cylinders, hence poor combustion and overspending. If the ECU receives incorrect information from the sensors, engine power is lost, fuel consumption increases.
It is required to constantly monitor the condition of the car, not to wait for a serious breakdown, but to engage in preventive inspection and repair.
Other reasons depend on the driver. An overloaded car works at the limit, excessive fuel consumption is inevitable. If the driving style is jerky, with sharp accelerations and braking, this also does not add efficiency. Violation of aerodynamic properties by installing various body kits, spoilers, driving at speed with open windows also causes overruns. If you add a constantly on air conditioner, car radio, headlights, illumination in the cabin, you can forget about savings.
2 Reducing gasoline consumption - real ways
If the increased consumption lies in technical malfunctions, we eliminate them - on our own or in a car service. Other, subjective ways to save fuel are required from the driver. If the style of driving, the use of the car does not contribute to savings, we learn to drive in a new way. First of all, you should learn how to operate the gas pedal carefully and thoughtfully. The most economical mode is in the range of 60–90 km/h, even when accelerating fuel is spent much less than in the range of 120–140 km/h.
Profitability is affected by the ability to shift gears in a manual transmission. Each has its own purpose: 1 - for starting, on the second - acceleration, on 3 overtaking and afterburner are carried out, on 4 movement around the city, 5 - for the highway. A long ride in 5th gear is not economical - the consumption on it is more than others. When shifting gears, we try not to accelerate the engine to more than 2 thousand revolutions, except when it is necessary, for example, at busy intersections. Approaching them, we try to choose a speed in order to drive through the green light without stopping.
The following tips are about driving style outside the city. If we notice a large vehicle moving at an acceptable speed on the road, we follow it at a distance of 4-5 meters. We find ourselves in a zone of low pressure, and if we move at a constant speed, the savings are very tangible. At such a distance, increased attention is required, the speed is not chosen too high. Experienced drivers on a good road with sufficient visibility use cutting corners, driving in a straight line. on a long trip it works quite well.
3 Sensors and electronics - impact on fuel consumption
On VAZ cars 2110, 2115, etc., the electronics are not very perfect. Sensors fail:
- throttle and idle - located in the throttle assembly;
- lambda probe - on the exhaust manifold;
- air sensor - on the inlet pipe to the throttle;
- cooling system fluid temperature.
Their malfunctions affect the operation of the engine, incorrect data that is fed to the computer leads to excessive fuel consumption. It is these sensors that are involved in the preparation of a mixture of optimal composition. Diagnostics of sensors is carried out by special devices, sensors change. On a Priora 16 valve car, the increase in consumption is also due to other reasons:
- abnormal fuel pressure - clogged nozzles, filters, faulty fuel pump;
- the catalyst is clogged - an enriched mixture is being prepared;
- dirty air filter;
- the motor overheats or does not heat up.
In increased fuel consumption on the VAZ 2114, an 8-valve injector can be influenced even by such a simple device as a gasoline pump. Signs of its malfunction: unstable idling, power drop.
Summing up, it should be said: in order not to overpay for fuel that burns inefficiently, you should monitor the technical condition of the car and learn how to drive it economically.
This passenger car is produced by the Russian automotive giant VAZ. The car belongs to class C. In 2007, it was first put on sale in a sedan body modification. A year later, a hatchback model began to be produced. Since 2009, AvtoVAZ has been producing the Lada Priora station wagon.
The Lada Priora car is distinguished by quite economical fuel costs. Russian motorists are not very rich people. Therefore, VAZ designers paid special attention to the cost of driving.
Average fuel consumption
In accordance with the data specified in the passport, this car spends:
- when driving on highways - 5.6 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers;
- within the city, fuel consumption is 9.8 liters;
- in a mixed highway / city cycle, 7.2 liters are spent if the car is 16-valve and 7.6 liters if it is an 8-valve counterpart.
It should be borne in mind that in the documents the manufacturer indicated gasoline with an octane rating of 95. If the owner of the car uses 92 fuel, then fuel consumption will be higher.
IMPORTANT! The fuel costs indicated in the Lada Priora passport are considered normal. If your car consumes much more fuel, be sure to check whether its units and components are in good order. You can do this yourself or in a car service.
The reason for the high consumption of gasoline may be a clogged air or fuel filter, a breakdown in the ignition system, etc. If you find any malfunction or defect, contact a service station immediately. It is better to fix the breakdown immediately than to pay for the overhaul of the car later.
