About the domestic auto industry said a lot of bad and good. Each Russian brand has its admirers and there are people who do not call domestic cars anything other than a “bucket of nuts”. We will not go into details of the well-known confrontation between fans of foreign cars and "patriots", but we will try to find out and answer the question of motorists: "Grant" or "Prior" - which is better from the point of view of an ordinary Russian consumer? "
"Lada Priora"
This car came out a long time ago, in 2007. At first glance, it’s rather difficult to distinguish “Prior” from the “top ten” on whose platform this model was created. But the manufacturer pledges to assure the consumer that there are more than a thousand differences and modified parts.
A quick inspection seems to be everything looks decent and stylish. If we discard the “cloned” appearance, then the rest of the car is fully consistent with the European style. No wonder the Italian designers worked on the interior. But one thing is design ideas, and quite another is a hastily completed assembly. It is no secret that after a short time of operation, “crickets” appear in the cabin, something creaks somewhere, something scratches somewhere - this is a consequence of a large number of elements in the skin connected somehow. In general, ergonomics hardly pulls on the "four". Now, for the sake of completeness and a more accurate determination of which is better, “Prior” or “Grant”, we will conduct an inspection of “Grants”.
Lada Granta
In terms of the exterior design, Grant will certainly give a head start to Priore. More modern appearance in the classical style, advanced design, more technological equipment - all this brings Grant closer to the European representatives of the classic line.
The developers took the Viburnum platform as the basis for Grants. But only the platform, the exterior of the Lada Grant got its own. If you compare car data by platform, then say, “Kalina”, “Grant” or “Prior” - which is better, very difficult. A lot of flaws and there, and there, and there. But first things first, and back to the Grant.
Compared with the Priora, it is assembled more efficiently, at least we are judging by the interior. No "crickets" and creaks. The number of parts of the inner lining has decreased markedly, the build quality has improved. However, between the compared models the difference in output is more than four years, so it’s quite problematic to tell the consumer, “Grant” or “Prior” objectively, which is better. For four years, foreign manufacturers have undergone more than one restyled model with foreign manufacturers, and the technical capabilities of cars with such a difference in output cannot be compared at all. But Russia is not abroad. Therefore, even though the “Grant” acquired quiet and efficient power units, when their modernization will be carried out, it is not known.
Grant or Priora - which is better? findings
If we take into account the difference in age, then the four-year interval in the release between the two models clearly benefited Grant. She looks more fresh, and the design is closer to European cars. But if you start from the price, then the Russian consumer does not need to explain, “Grant” or “Prior” - which is better. For most ordinary motorists what is cheaper is better. In this regard, Grant, with its base value of 259 thousand, is more attractive than its rival Priora with a price of 330 thousand. It's just not clear why such a big difference in cost. Options are almost identical, driving characteristics are similar. Is pricing influenced by the test of time? Still, Priora is 4 years older.
Thus, the article gave an answer to the question that tormented the consumer for so long: "Kalina, Priora, Grant - what is better for everyday use?". Have a good choice.
