You decided to buy a domestic car because the price attracts. True, Grant is cheaper than Kalina by about 30 thousand rubles. But you still doubt which model is better: Granta, Kalina or Priora. These cars belong to different classes, they have their own advantages and disadvantages. Let's try to figure out which Lada is better.
Compare appearance
Both models are available as a hatchback. Both models have the same side doors. Lada Kalina outwardly seems a little smaller. Lada Priora has a slightly longer body, because it seems larger. If you need a more modern model, then you should take a closer look at Lada Kalina. It is better developed by the designers. 
Did you know?The first domestic car to receive an airbag is Lada Priora.
Granta's front view is more interesting than Priora's. And Priora's rear view is prettier than Granta's.
Salon
Let's figure out which is better - Grant or Kalina - in terms of cabin comfort. Kalina's interior is 5.5 cm higher and 3.6 cm wider. Both salons are quiet enough. The disadvantage of Lada Grants is that after a run of a couple of thousand kilometers, the car starts to crack. Noise isolation on Kalina is better than on Grant.
The dashboard on the Grant does not emit extraneous sounds, and on Kalina some noises and rattling may come from the panel. There is no room for an ashtray in the Grants salon. Lada Grant has an engine temperature sensor, but Kalina does not have such a sensor. In the cabin of Grants there is an automatic transmission, on the Priore there is a 5-speed manual transmission. The seats of the Lada Grants salon are not comfortable enough. They are cheap, tough. And Kalina has anatomical seats, which creates convenience for the driver and passengers.
Note! The advantage of anatomical seats is that they follow the shape of the body of the seated person, and thus create a comfortable ride.
We will study the complete set of cars and decide which is better: Priora, Kalina or Grant. Kalina has a short steering rack, electric power steering, power windows for the front doors, an air filter, athermal glass. There are foglights on the Grant, there is an electric drive and heated exterior mirrors, power windows for front and rear doors. Inside the Priora, the plastic is more pleasant to the touch than the Grants. The appearance of the Grants salon is better than Priors or Kalina.
Trunk capacity
There are three body types: sedan, hatchback and station wagon. The wagon turned out to be the most practical. 
Note! The station wagon body allows not only to expand the space for the carriage of goods, but also can be transformed into a bed for spending the night in the car.
Kalina vs. Grants inferior in trunk capacity. A large trunk on the Grant (about 480 liters) appeared by increasing the length of the body. However, this trunk closes loudly. The boot capacity of Kalina is approximately 360 liters. And if the rear seat backs are folded down, the volume increases to 700 liters. The loading height on the Lada Priora is less, and the side is 2 times lower than on Kalina.
Did you know?Lada Kalina has been produced since 2004. At first, the cars were sedans, and after 2 years they began to roll off the assembly line in the back of a hatchback.
Suspension and chassis
Consider which is better in terms of suspension and chassis. All models have improved suspension. But on Grant, the suspension is more energy-intensive, behaves better in the pits. On bumps Grant behaves better than Priora or Kalina. On Grant, there is no impact on the steering wheel and there is no rattling of the steering rack, and Kalina has such a defect. Lada cars are front-wheel drive. Lada Granta is more controllable, since it has a short steering rack (the distance between the stops is 3.1 turns). On the Priore, 4.1 turns from lock to lock.
The brakes on Grant are better due to the fact that they are ventilated and equipped with BAS. The weak points of Lada cars are considered to be stabilizer struts and shock absorbers.
Engine and transmission
If we talk about which car is better, Grant or Kalina, in terms of the motor, then it should be noted that the engines are slightly different. Although Grant has a "Kalinovsky" engine with the same number of valves (older models have 8 valves, new ones - 16) and a volume of 1.6 liters, but the power of the Lada Grant engine is higher (110 horses) than Priora (90 horses) and Kalina (82 horses). This advantage is explained by the fact that a lightweight connecting rod-piston group is installed on the Grant. This allows you to increase power, reduce noise and vibration levels, and reduce consumption of gasoline consumed. All Lada models consume 95 gasoline. The gas pedal on the Grant is better, it works softer and more informative, because it is electronic.
On 16-valve engines with a volume of 1.4 liters and 1.6 liters, the valves will bend when the timing belt breaks (this is a feature of engines from Lada Priora).
Motor Grants runs without extraneous noise. On Kalina, the sound of a running engine resembles the operation of a diesel engine (a characteristic bubbling appears). On Kalina, the material of the plastic covers is better. Lada Granta has an electric throttle.
If the timing belt breaks on the 8-valve Lada engine, the valves do not meet the pistons. This allows you to save the valves (not bend) when the timing belt breaks.
For intensive cooling of the pistons, Grant has oil nozzles. There are spacer washers on the Grants knee shaft. The Grants ignition system does not use coils. The resource of the Granta engine is about 200 thousand km, Kalina - about 250 thousand km.
Important! To extend the engine life, it is recommended to change the oil every 15,000 km, and the timing belt every 50-60 thousand km.
Safety
Let's figure out which is better to choose - Grant Kalin or Prior - in terms of security. Lada Grant has one airbag, but Kalina does not.
Autoreview magazine tested machines for safety. The Granta model we tested did not have front pretensioners or front seat belts stoppers, but that didn’t stop the car from earning 8.4 points in its EuroNCAP crash test.
Did you know? According to the results of the crash test, only Hyundai Solaris (8.5 points) came out ahead of Grants, which has 2 airbags, pretensioners and front seat belt limiters.
We hope that our article helped you figure out which is better: Kalina, Priora or Granta.
The Russian auto industry is always criticized, but in the sales ratings, VAZ cars are in the first lines. For what reasons does the buyer forgive inexpensive finishing materials, errors in assembly and design? This question is easy to answer - price plays an important role. After all, it is absolutely impossible to buy a European foreign car of a simple type for that kind of money.
Each of these cars has three body types. If you look at Kalina and Priora, then, of course, Kalina looks smaller. But in fact, the Priora body itself is only slightly longer. Sitting in a car, it is not easy to see such differences. Kalina's salon, when compared with Priora's, is 55 mm higher and 36 mm wider. 
You can buy the Prioru with a coupe body. The release of such cars is produced in small batches, so you rarely see them on the roads. The version of the Priora "coupe" is more expensive than the others. Kalina has her own answer to this - Kalina in the "sport" package. Its production is limited, but promotion is much better. Another plus confirming that the "coupe" is better than the Priora is the fact that it is cheaper.
In addition, an airbag was installed in the Priora. This happened for the first time in the Russian car industry. Changes in the Prior are observed only in design and exterior decoration. AvtoVAZ does not want to seriously update the car due to the fact that in a few years it is planned to be removed from production. Of course, the model will be modernized, for example, it was promised to deliver a new cable-operated gearbox and a power unit.
The engineers worked on Kalina more thoroughly. The appearance of the car has changed markedly, and it also acquired a new interior and an automatic transmission. It was on Kalina that VAZ first installed an automatic transmission. There are good reviews about this transmission. The engine and suspension were also improved. We saw the light of the configuration with and climate control. Kalina has more space in the cabin than Priora. Priora passengers are not so comfortable, here is a plus in favor of Kalina.
The power unit also works without noise, all this thanks to a good finish and sound insulation. At Priora, during operation, the noise in the car is very well audible, even at idle. It can be seen from most parameters that when choosing cars Priora or Kalina, the first one is still slightly inferior. Acceleration is the same for each car. Perhaps Kalina will accelerate a little faster due to its low weight. But you shouldn't pay much attention to this difference.
If there is a choice between Kalina and Priora, then it is better to give preference to Kalina. First of all, there are more pluses in its production. She has the best. It is not going to be removed from production. Kalina is ahead of Priora - it is better matched and more modern. Having compared the Lada Kalina and the Lada Priora and having found out that the Kalina is better, we will consider and compare the Priora and Grant now.
Priora or Grant
The price category for Grants and Priors is different. But these machines also have a lot in common, which complicates the choice. Consider the automotive interior and exterior. If you take the cars separately, then in appearance it is better than Grant. It favorably surpasses the Priora car with its modern design.
All Grants equipment costs less than Priora. In this case, it should be concluded that Granta will be better in appearance than Priora. The quality of the used material and convenience are in favor of the Priora. Granta is equipped with a quiet engine. ... Grants have 3 types of engines. Gasoline consumption is another important detail when choosing a car. The characteristics of the motors should also be taken into account.
These cars were equipped with identical motors. The differences are only in the configuration. Grants have a better PPC than Priora. The creators updated Granta and installed a new manual transmission. It surpasses the previous one, and it cannot be overlooked. At the moment, there are no vibrations in the car, and gear shifting has become more comfortable. Priora and Grants have identical technical characteristics, therefore, the fuel consumption will be corresponding.
The car interior is presented in European style. It has a high level of comfort and is fairly quiet. The only drawback of Grants is that, having driven several thousand kilometers, the car starts to "crack". There is no sensor in Grant that would show the temperature of the engine. If we talk about safety, then the car meets all standards and requirements. In the presence of these shortcomings, this model is still considered to be successful. Granta has an automatic transmission, which cannot be said about the Priora. The Priora and Grants have the same quality suspension.
But remember that Granta appeared on the Russian car market later, which means that her suspension is newer and improved. In addition to all the characteristics of the technical plan, the prices of both machines should be compared. Priora in comparison with Grant is inexpensive. It can be noted as a fairly economical model. Priora is popular among young people. The disadvantage is in her stances. Due to the quality of the roads, they just start to fall apart. But overall the model is not bad.
Which is better - Priora or Grant? After comparing both cars, it's safe to say that it's better than Grant. She has more comfort, she meets all the basic requirements. It remains to compare only two cars and choose which one is better.
Lada Kalina or Lada Granta
A large group of engineers worked on the design for both machines. Each one looks modern and looks like a foreign car. Granta's design was created from the very beginning by analogy with Kalina. The engines on both machines are practically the same. Both have improved suspension. The gearbox is also identical.
Granta's metal body is very thin. Manufacturers explained this by the use of a completely different type of metal. But it can bend easily, as it is made of thin metal. They also decided to save on the plastic bumper. On the new Grant, at first, the doors are locked and opened well, but after some time you will have to make an effort for this procedure. Kalina has no such defects.
The seats are also different. They are cheap at Grants and cannot boast of comfort. Kalina has anatomical seats that follow the shape of the human body, they are more comfortable when landing. The salon is wide for each car. Grant cannot be called quiet when riding on gravel. When a stone hits the body, the sound will be clearly audible. In terms of sound insulation, Kalina, of course, is also not ideal, but still it is much quieter in it.
To keep the cost of the car lower, Grant was supplied with low-quality plastic. It is very easy to scratch and looks cheap. There is no such thing in Kalina. High speed can develop Granta due to aerodynamic performance. However, the difference with Kalina is small. Fuel consumption is also not significantly different. If you look at the little things, then Grants do not have limit switches on the doors and a headlight hydro-corrector.
If we consider Grant, then it does not look like Russian cars, but the side doors unite it with Kalina. Kalina is inferior to Grant in terms of trunk parameters. Due to the increased length of the body, Granta's trunk is large, but it looks unaesthetic and at the same time closes loudly. However, Granta wins with her dashboard, which makes no sounds, which cannot be said about Kalina. Grants have another plus - a short steering rack. But there was no room for an ashtray.
Grant has an engine from Kalina, but it has some advantages. With the same number of valves, Grants engine power is greater than that of Kalina. This is due to the installed lightweight connecting rod-piston group. In general, Kalina moves more slowly Grants. The Granta engine runs without any noise, but Kalina has the best plastic covers.
If we compare the safety of cars, then it should be noted the airbags in Grant, which are not in Kalina. With the budget class, Granta is a big plus. Even if you evaluate these two cars fluently, it can be argued that Grant is not worse than Kalina, although it is made on its basis. When comparing parameters, it can be called even the best. Kalina is more expensive than Grants by about 30 thousand rubles. Grant can be considered an alternative to Kalina.
Granta will be produced, like Kalina, in a hatchback body. From this point of view, Granta looks youthful. Each of the cars is somewhat inferior, and in some ways good and even superior to the other, but at an insignificant level. If we talk about the price category, it is better to take the Lada Grant.
However, everyone chooses a car for themselves, so everyone has their own preferences for the car. When choosing, everyone looks at those parameters that are more important to him.
Which car is better and what to choose: Granta or Kalina?
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, on the contrary, is not very popular? Let's try to understand this difficult situation and give novice car owners some practical advice.
Unfortunately, the next round of the economic crisis has led to the fact that the leading popular brands of foreign cars have become practically inaccessible to the average Russian buyer. And he more and more often began to turn his gaze towards domestic auto products.
As a result, interest in our cars has increased, and sales have begun to grow steadily. Moreover, just in time, the leader of the Russian car industry, AVTOVAZ, launched several new models on the market and made serious updates to the existing ones.
We can safely say that the most bought cars of 2015 were the Lada Granta and Lada Priora models. Let's take a close look at these machines, compare their prices and characteristics. Let's determine which is better than Priora 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 it is probably not ethical enough to compare them. But it is precisely this question that constantly worries our audience.
So Lada Priora is a logical continuation of the tenth model already out of production. Its logical modification, the outlines of which are clearly visible in the silhouette of Priora. And Lada Granta was conceived and executed as a completely new car designed to replace the outdated "classics" on the market. Let's go to meet customer demand and look for an answer to the question: "What is better than Grant or Prior?" just by comparing these cars.
Comparison of appearance
Let's start, as is customary, with the appearance of cars. Let's see what interior and exterior options are offered to us. Priora has the outlines of a classic sedan, a bit like 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 looks better, but not much. But inside there were more drastic changes.
New materials of the “soft-look” line were applied and the interior began to look much richer. Although the old problems remain - if you have impressive dimensions, then you will be a little cramped in the driver's seat.
But Grants have more than enough space, the interior is spacious and comfortable. The picture is spoiled by the cheap plastic from which the dashboard is made.
I would like to say separately about the appearance. It is modern, stylish and interesting. The car has swift contours, original headlights and bumpers, new running lights. And the Lada Granta, produced in the back of a liftback, is practically indistinguishable from a good foreign car. Comparison of Grant or Priora, which looks better, certainly wins the Lada Granta.
Comparison of configurations and prices Grants and Priors
Now about the trim levels 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 Priora has no competitors.
Grant is not issued in this body. It is marketed as a sedan, liftback and sports car. If Priora has two configurations for all models, Norma and Lux, then Grants added the third (cheapest) Standard.
Interestingly, the low-cost configuration of the Priora is equipped much better than the similar configuration of the Grants. But they are also much more expensive. But in the Lux trim levels, the differences in the issue of Priora or Grant practically disappear.
The same set of expensive options assumes the presence of electric power steering, front airbags, heated seats, a modern multimedia system, an on-board computer with many functions, and much more.
And again, Lada Granta in the most expensive Lux configuration costs 10 -15% cheaper than the same Priora. This is achieved due to the fact that in the design of Lada Grant, the number of small parts used in the assembly of the body is significantly reduced.
Hence the reduction of the noise level, and the elimination of all sorts of rattles and squeaks, which so annoyed the previous vase owners. The presence of a wide variety of picking is a huge plus for Lada Granta, since the car is becoming available to almost all, major segments of the population.
We do not specifically provide specific prices for this or that model, but we are trying to show the main trends, because the price gap for different sellers can be very different from each other. Let us conclude that the comparison between Grant and Prior, with regards to pricing policy, again remains with Grant.
Comparison by technical characteristics
When asked which is 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 cars - they are equipped with the same motors and almost the same gearboxes.
The Priora lineup 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 box is represented by mechanics, a robot and an automatic.
Much more attention is paid to discussions on eliminating the eternal shortcomings of the Priora - repair of struts and electric power steering. Although, according to the manufacturer's assurances, they are eliminated in the restyled version of the Priora.
Priora's really serious technical problem is that when the alternator belt breaks, the valve bends. And it was not possible to solve this problem in the new 21127 engine, which was developed for the updated Priora. It seems that the problem will not be solved, since there are persistent rumors that the Priora is being produced for the last year.
Three years of operation of the Lada Grant did not reveal such serious problems (common), the solution of which must be sought by the whole world. An exception is the generator bearing, which often fails. When deciding for yourself Lada Granta or Priora which is better, you must have all of the above in your head. And our sympathies are again on the side of Grants - she is fresher and more technological.
Owners' opinion about cars
A separate line would like to dwell on the comparison of which is better than Priora or Grant liftback (hatchback). Because this question is very common in various automotive forums. The liftback is just a kind of Grants, another modification of it, and not another car. Naturally, in appearance it surpasses the Priora completely, and in terms of technical characteristics they are quite similar.
Studying the opinions of users on the network, what is better than Priora or Grant, reviews can be divided into several categories. Most people prefer Grant, although they are afraid of her novelty. Others stand in the position of Priora, motivating them with vital reliability. And there are still others, whose opinion boils down to one thing - a VAZ car is like a lot in the lottery, you will be lucky and you will not know any problems. And if you're unlucky, no model will help.
Comparison of sports modifications Grants and Priors
When comparing Priors and Grants, one cannot fail to mention sports models. If the sports Priora is a logical continuation of the classics of the model, then Granta Sport can claim the title of a car that has its own new face.
Here and a new sports suspension, and an improved gearbox, and adjustable camber. The exterior of the car is distinguished by an aggressive character, rapid modern lines. Numerous test drives of Priora against Grants have shown that if the usual Grant loses to the Priore in dynamics, then in the sports version of Grant it is much faster.
Outcome
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 trim levels. But, ultimately, Priora or Lada Granta is up to you to decide. Read, think, choose.
To understand which car is the best, let's break them down by technical facts in this article. Grant until 2013, or 14, was more budgetary than Priora. What is better than an outspoken state employee, or a car with a hint of a higher 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 of domestic production for yourself, several "familiar" cars immediately stand out.
Prior to 2018, the Priora was produced in bodies, hatchback, station wagon and coupe. Grant is available in Hatchback, Liftback, sedan or Sport bodies. The Priora in the body of the liftback was not produced, and then it will be necessary to figure out what kind of body it is and how it differs from the standard sedan. For comparison, Priora will be taken in sedan, hatchback and station wagon bodies and Grant's liftback - the most popular body shapes of these models among domestic motorists.
When choosing - all the pros and cons are weighed according to the main parameters, and only after that there is a comparison at the prices of cars. The Granta suite costs the same as the Priora of the basic configuration, but this should not be a decisive factor when choosing. Remember, when it comes to inspecting the car and the acceptance certificate, a lot will rest on the build quality - it differs 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 cannot be said which is better: Granta liftback or Priora station wagon - "there is no comrade in taste and color." It will be enough to give an objective overview of the design concept of these models.
Serial production of Lada Priora (VAZ-2170) began in 2007. The car became a continuation of the “ten” family, the body underwent minor changes, but still someone recognized the “ten”. In 2013, it underwent restyling, added DRLs to the “droplet headlights”, changed the taillights and bumpers, slightly “modernizing” the body. Priora looks quite modest, but it 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 Lada Kalina and received the number VAZ-2190 (sedan body). In 2014, the serial production of the Granta liftback began (it received the number VAZ-2191). In 2018, a global restyling of the entire Grant line took place 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 should not be cramped in your favorite car.
For Lada Priora in the sedan body, 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;
Rear track width 1414 mm.
The body sizes of the two models are about the same (except that Grant is higher), but Grant looks larger than the Priora due to the raised hood and wider radiator grill. In the body of the liftback, the trunk lid turns into a mixture of the fifth door of the hatchback and the tailgate of the sedan, due to which it looks slightly higher than the Grants in other bodies. The wheelbase of Granta is about 1.5 cm more, which is not so strong 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 Grant liftback, one cannot fail to mention the thickness of the metal and the paintwork. The thickness of the metal and the thickness of the paint and varnish coating (and the quality of its application) determines how the car will look after several years of operation. The thickness of the metal also provides passive safety - the larger it is, the less damage from road accidents.
At Granta, paint and varnish is applied in 6 layers - according to the standard for the production of foreign cars, its average thickness is 98 microns, the metal thickness is 0.6 mm. Priora has paintwork thickness from 67 to 100 microns, metal thickness - 0.8 mm.
Gas tanks
The Lada Priore's gas tank was inherited from its predecessor - VAZ-2108, "Samara" of the first generation. For a very long time, the volume of the tank on VAZ cars did not change and remained the same - 43 liters. Lada Grant has an enlarged gas tank with a volume of 50 liters.
Chassis, ground clearance
Priora's ground clearance is 165 mm in the pre-styled version and 170 mm in the restyled version. The suspension is extremely simple: the front suspension is independent spring, the rear is semi-independent spring. There are ventilated disc brakes in the front, drum brakes in the back.
Granta's liftback clearance in the pre-styled version was 160 mm, in the restyled version - 190 mm. Grants have a front suspension - an independent spring produced by McPherson, the rear - a semi-independent spring. New supports of the front struts were installed, the longitudinal stabilizer was increased and the anti-roll bar was improved. The front brakes are ventilated discs, the rear ones are drum brakes.
Both front-wheel drive cars are urban, and in terms of cross-country ability in the countryside, Lada Priora is still inferior to the restyled Grant liftback. Thanks to the improved suspension and higher ground clearance, the restyled Grant passes bumps and pits better than the dorestyled version.
Box
A five-speed is installed on the Priora, which she inherited from the VAZ-2110, only with a gearbox drive mechanism with closed-type bearings. Since 2013, a five-speed robotized one has also been installed on the car, which was developed on the basis of a closed mechanical gearbox project. It has been modified so well that it reduces fuel consumption when traveling around the city by 1 liter per 100 km, but it also has errors after several thousand kilometers of driving around the city - an electronics error.
In the 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 "clean" automatic transmission (developed by Jatco based on the automatic transmission project of 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 repair, or changing the oil in the box. But if you like comfort, then take a closer look at a car with automatic transmission - despite the fact that the box is based on the automatic transmission of the 90s, it is very good at work.
Engine performance and fuel consumption
The pre-styling Priora works with eight-valve motors:
With 81 hp. The maximum speed is 172 km / h. Accelerates to hundreds in 13.5 s. Fuel consumption in the city per 100 km - 9.8 liters;

When choosing between Priora and Grant, one cannot but discuss. There is much less space in the Priora than on the Grant, but the content is different - even in the days of the pre-styling version, the Priora had a good center console, which would "wipe the nose" of the pre-styling Grant, but Grant's seats were better than the Priora's.
Restyling Priora in 2013 gave the car comfortable seats with a small side fixation (in the manner of sports), as well as a modern multimedia system in the maximum configuration. Standing on the maximum configuration Grants multimedia display, according to the owners, does not immediately respond to pressing. Granta boasts comfortable seats back in the first generation. In the restyled version, the base turntable remotely began to resemble the new Renault Logan.
Price for minimum and maximum configuration
Production of the Priora has already ended, but car dealerships continue to sell off the rest. The cost of the basic configuration excluding the discount is 424,900 rubles, the maximum is 533,400 rubles. Please note that discounts can be very serious (up to 100,000 rubles), and something useful can be relied on as a gift - insurance or the necessary driver's kit, as well as free service from a dealer for a certain period after purchase.
The cost of the minimum configuration Grants liftback - 419,900 rubles, the maximum - 608,800 rubles. Pre-styling versions are on sale 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
Grants have a trunk volume of the pre-styling version - 440 liters (restyling - 435 liters), with the seats folded out - 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 out - 777 liters.
Every person at least once in his life was faced with a choice - which car to take: domestic or foreign, used or new ... If you select from the options available at cost, 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 the models, and also released new ones, which are becoming more and more popular every day. To help buyers with a choice, I decided to discuss what 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 see what exactly.
Let's start by looking at external data. The 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 youth stylish forms that resemble a foreign car. The running lights, bumpers and headlights have been improved. In this category, you can give her preference.
Interior - salon overview
If we take Priora as an example, then the interior in it has changed for the better. The salon used modern soft-look materials.
Whereas Granta has a cheap plastic dashboard. But it has a more spacious interior.
Price and quality
In this comparison, which is better than the Priora or Grant, the liftback wins the second option, since today the new Priora without additions is like the Granta in the luxury configuration. This difference in price has been achieved thanks to a new design that uses fewer small parts. This is what contributed to the reduction of noise.
Priora has two configurations for all models: Norma and Lux. Granta also has a third - Standard, which is the cheapest. At the same time, inexpensive configurations of the first model are better equipped than the second. But their cost is much higher. But there are practically no differences between expensive configurations. They include:
- front airbags;
- electric power steering;
- multimedia system with on-board computer;
- heated seats, etc.
Specifications
This criterion worries domestic motorists most of all, so we will analyze in detail all the available parameters.
Headlights
If you choose from cars, which is better - Grant or Priora regarding light, then opinions are divided. Granta wins in the low beam category, and in the Priore, a good high beam. It also has an advantage in the structure of the headlight - lamps for different lights are installed separately, so this makes it easier and cheaper to replace in the future. The full description looks like this.
- DRL / HE 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 Grant is better than the Priora is the volume of the trunk.
In the first case, it is equal to 520 liters, in the second - 430. But if you fold the rear sofa, then this figure increases to 700.
Suspension
If you are thinking about what is better to buy - Priora or Grant, then opinions on this characteristic are also divided. The first model is bought because of its good handling. Due to the increased travel of the steering rack, it becomes more "obedient". In the sport version, the suspension has been significantly improved. The second option is taken by those who value comfort. Grants have fewer turns from lock to lock, in comparison with Priora - 3.1 versus 4.1. It also has more roll in corners and is perfect for older drivers. Accelerating more than 120 km / h, it will not feel very good. Although this is the last, therefore more modern development of the creators.
Engines
If we compare which is better - Grant or Prior relative to the engines, then in reality they are almost the same. But my personal opinion is that the 16-valve Granta is faster than the opponent (especially in the "sport" version - this was also proven on test drives).
In the Priora model range there are only two positions - 98 and 106 hp, while in the Grant two more - 82 and 87 hp are added. In addition, they are equipped with a noise insulation system.
The fuel consumption declared by the plant also does not differ much - about 9-10 liters in the city, and six on the highway.
Transmission
Choosing from two - Grant or Priora - which is better, the first option wins with respect to this characteristic. I declare with confidence that the new cable checkpoint outperforms the old prior's one.
This is a modernized version of the gearbox with the VAZ-2108, which, albeit noisy, but at the same time gives clear work of the wings. Transmissions can be turned on literally with your little finger. In Prior, there is a mechanic, and in Granta, there is a choice - mechanical, robot and automatic.
The opinion of LADAVODS
It was also interesting to get acquainted with the personal experience and reviews of car owners in different bodies - hatchback, liftback, sedan or sport - regarding which car is better: Priora or Grant. Here opinions are divided. Many, having bought Grant, claim that it is of better quality. With it, you need to go to the service of relatively minor breakdowns much less often (according to some users). The good news is that the car came to MOT, and not attracted. Most often, malfunctions of small units occur: a stove, a generator, a window, etc. Grants' price is lower, the exterior suits many. The only thing is the brakes. Even in the service, this is already considered normal, since it is observed in almost every model.
Regarding which is better - Priora or Grant, the reviews were different. Many people say well that the Granta has more room, especially for the legs. It is roomy, comfortable to fit and pleases with a large trunk. This is especially true for those who need it for work, and in everyday life too. Grants have a rich set, plus a new platform. There are large doors, like in Kalina station wagon or hatchback (video is presented below).
Others like the Priora better - the package and engine power. Her fans tend to believe that Granta has more visits to the service. But many consider the Priora to be overpriced as expected. 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 guide and other things that are so much praised in Grant.
Also, many prefer the appearance of the Priora, while the second Lada does not like the shape of the stern, especially in the bodies of the liftback, hatchback and sedan. Priora looks more modern, so it can be called a youth version. Convenient for both driver and passengers.
My opinion
I myself have been the owner of the Priora for two years. In two years on a new car, I skated over 30,000 km. During this period, there were a lot of minor breakdowns, but for all the time it never got in the way. The battery sat down once, through my fault - it did not extinguish the ceiling lamp.
Based on experience, I can answer the question which car is better - Lada Granta or Priora. When purchasing, I leaned towards the second option, because of the higher cost. Plus, it is positioned as the flagship of the domestic automotive industry. There is little space in it, but it can be safely called a B-class.
Initially, the goal of improving the version of the 10th family was invested in the creation of Priora. And Grant 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 VAZ-made car is like a lottery. Each model may have a good 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, in terms of the latest versions, in many criteria, Grant surpasses the Priora, and in cost, including that for some today it is one of the main selection criteria.
