Lada Priora hatchback is a deep restyling of a popular domestic car. The design of the car has retained notes of lightness and smooth lines that are characteristic of a sedan loved by many.
Headlights,
taillights and open wheel arches became more elegant. The car looks quite stylish.
Compared with the said sedan, pronounced flaws in the proportioning of some elements of the sidewall were corrected, which allowed to remove a certain absurdity of the previous image. Spoiler and more modern elements of lighting, of course, rejuvenated the exterior of the car, but still the feeling that they worked on the design at the end of the last century does not leave.
Separately, a few words about the luxury configuration Lada Priora hatchback. Tuning like this will cost buyers an extra $ 700, it includes air conditioning, airbags and ABS.
By the way, a luxury sedan is a little cheaper. It is supposed to be another complete set (deluxe suite) in which the Priora hatchback will be available. Tuning of this model, among other things, includes parking sensors, automatic headlights and
rain sensor.
Priora hatchback fully complies with today's safety requirements. Three-point seat belts, an airbag, reinforced side racks, reinforced sills and a reinforced roof are designed to protect the driver and passengers. In addition, the design of the front door trim provides special damping inserts that should increase the safety of the driver and passenger in the event of a side impact. Also carefully selected energy intensity of the bumper. Its design allows you to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision with a pedestrian. The strength of the bumpers, however, is quite enough to fully absorb impact energy when colliding with another car at a low speed, without causing damage to other body parts.
Priora hatchback shows very good dynamic performance on the road. Under its hood is a 6-valve engine (1.6 liters, 98 hp). The designers managed to significantly reduce the mechanical losses in the motor, which, of course, is their great merit. The modern electronic system of the latest generation not only ensures compliance with the standards of toxicity of emissions, but also stable engine start in the cold season.
Electric power steering and a modern
vacuum brake booster, as well as high-quality tires - all this made it possible to achieve excellent indicators of stability and controllability of the car.
The general impression that the Priora hatchback left is positive. Yes, there were some flaws from the sedan, for example, ambiguities in shifting the mechanical gearbox (and they promised to fix it), not the most convenient folding mechanism for the rear seat, which obeys only physically strong people, etc. There were no serious shortcomings, therefore, in general, the impressions of expectations were quite justified.
