"Lada Grant" or "Priora"? What is better for the domestic consumer?

A lot of bad and good things are said about the domestic automobile industry. Each Russian brand has its own admirers and there are people who do not name the domestic cars differently than the "bucket with nuts". We will not go into details of the known confrontation between fans of foreign cars and "patriots", but let's try to find out and answer the question of motorists: "Grant" or "Priora" - what is better from the point of view of the ordinary Russian consumer? "

"Lada Priora"

This car came out a long time ago, in 2007. At first glance, it is rather difficult to distinguish between "Prioru" and "ten", on the platform of which this model was created. But the manufacturer swears to the consumer that there are more than a thousand differences and modified parts.

At a cursory examination, everything seems to be decent and stylish. If you discard the "cloned" appearance, then the rest of the car is consistent with the European style. Not for nothing was the Italian designers working on the interior. But one thing - design ideas, and quite another - hastily completed the assembly. It's no secret that after a short time of operation, crickets appear in the salon, something is creaking somewhere, something is scratched somewhere - this is a consequence of a large number of elements in the planking connected somehow. In general, ergonomics with difficulty pulls on the "four". Now, in order to complete the picture and more accurately determine what is better, "Priora" or "Grant", we will conduct an inspection of the "Grants".

Lada Granta

By external design, "Grant", of course, will give odds to "Priora". 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.

As a basis for "Grants" developers took the platform "Kalina". But only the platform, the exterior of "Lada Grant" got its own. If you compare car data on platforms, then say, "Kalina", "Grant" or "Priora" - which is better, it is very difficult. A lot of shortcomings are there, and there, and there. But let's talk about everything in order and return to Grant.

Compared with the "Priora", it is collected more qualitatively, at least, we are still judging by the salon. No "crickets" and creaks. The number of details of the inner skin significantly decreased, the quality of the assembly increased. However, between the compared models, the difference in output is more than four years, so that it is problematic to say objectively to the consumer, "Grant" or "Prior" - which is better of them. At foreign manufacturers for four years the model undergoes not one restyling, and technical possibilities of cars with such difference in release in general are not subject to comparison. But Russia is not a foreign country. Therefore, although the "Grant" and acquired silent and efficient power units, when their modernization will be carried out, it is not known.

"Grant" or "Priora" - which is better? conclusions

If we take into account the difference in "age", then the four-year interval in the release between these two models clearly went to the benefit of "Grant". It looks more fresh, and the design is closer to European cars. But if we start from the price, then the Russian consumer does not need to explain, "Grant" or "Priora" - which is better. For most ordinary motorists, which is cheaper, it is better. In this respect, the "Grant" with its base value of 259 thousand is more attractive than its rival "Priora" with a price of 330 thousand. That's just not clear why such a big difference in value. The complete sets are almost identical, the driving characteristics are similar. Is the time control really influencing pricing? Still, "Priora" is 4 years older.

Thus, the article answered the question for so long tormenting the consumer: "Kalina", "Priora", "Granta" - what is better for everyday use? ". Good luck to you choice.
