Good day to all.
While the car is waiting for a salary to replace the heater core, I decided to wash the seat upholstery (my family). No sooner said than done. I’ll make a reservation right away - I only removed the passenger seat and the back seat without a backrest (I’ll explain why a little later).
And so let's go: for removal we will need a 10 socket, as well as an 8 socket (or an asterisk, I don’t remember which one). I had exactly 8 in stock. The rear sofa has 4 nuts for 10, and the front one has 4 bolts for an asterisk (the head for 8 is ideal).
And so we unscrew the seats and take them home (someone removes the upholstery on the spot, but I think it’s more convenient and easier to bring it home. Moreover, the seats can be easily removed).
Let's move on. Disassembly. For disassembly you will need a Phillips screwdriver (to remove decorative plastic) and a flat screwdriver (to remove the upholstery itself. Some use pliers, but in my opinion a screwdriver is more convenient).
After removing the elastic, you need to either bend or cut the wire holding the upholstery with the foam. The fastening of the upholstery on the back of the front seat is slightly different. On the sides and bottom there is a groove in the groove, when disassembling it is clear without explanation
You also need to remove the headrest guides and the Kalina emblem. The latter is attached through paralon to a plastic crap (I don’t know what to call it) and to fabric with staples.
The upholstery is removed and you can start washing.
The springs on the front seat were sagging, so it was decided to turn them over. On the back, I left the top 2 as they were (curved back, but turned the rest over. Like lumbar support)

What exactly does a driver feel when he or she gets behind the wheel of a car for the first time? What is an indicator of driving comfort, especially on long trips? By what criterion do passengers who board your car for the first time say whether they find it comfortable or not? There are not many answer options, but perhaps the main thing is the car seats, in particular the front ones for the driver. Let's go further and figure out what we get from the factory in terms of seats, and specifically let's take the domestic car Lada Granta. Yes, we are getting modified seats of a new type, different from the same “nine”, where the back hurt after already 20 km. Ways. Yes, the new upholstery/covers look nicer than previous versions. But not all of them are equipped with heating (depending on the configuration), about which there is a separate discussion on our website, by the way, it is very useful to familiarize yourself with. Whatever one may say, look or look for the pluses, but the conclusion will be the same. Grant's standard seats are far from perfect in terms of comfort and practicality.
Now let's make a comparison with the seats of expensive foreign cars. Why are they so convenient for drivers? It's simple. This is lumbar support that relieves stress and allows your back not to get tired. This is lateral support that holds the body tightly during sharp or long turns.
This is a comfortable headrest that allows you to actually rest your head on it, rather than resting your head on the foam that is pressed against your head. This, again, is heating, with a built-in shutdown function when a certain temperature is reached, which allows you to keep the heat evenly, and not fry the fifth point endlessly.
Quite weighty arguments, right? Imagine that you can put all this on your grant. “You need to buy sports buckets, which have all these advantages, but they are inconvenient in everyday driving,” you say.
But no. All these wonderful advantages exist and have long been used in anatomical seats for VAZ cars. We present you a huge selection of such interesting details. And the assortment is really rich to choose from.
Our online store motorring.ru offers you seats for all tastes and needs. All anatomical chairs are equipped with all the parameters listed above: lumbar and lateral support, built-in heated seats with a relay for maintaining a certain temperature and a comfortable headrest. They also differ in type and shape for different configurations and driver heights. This way you can choose the most convenient and comfortable seat for yourself and your passengers. Among other things, the set we offer includes 2 front seats, as well as full rear upholstery, i.e. You receive a cover for the back seat and headrests, which will ultimately make your interior very beautiful, because... everything will be made from the same fabric, the same texture and the same color. All these changes will significantly transform the overall appearance of the interior and provide unprecedented comfort for a domestic car, which will allow you to happily go on long trips. In conclusion, it is worth saying that our managers will always give you competent advice and select anatomical seats specifically for you, according to your parameters and capabilities.

About the material of car seat covers
Cases made of artificial leather. If the leatherette is of high quality, then products made from it will be durable, reliable and practical (it is easy to wash and clean, breathable). Such cases can be a good alternative to genuine leather.
It is prestigious to have genuine leather cases. Leather products are highly wear-resistant, elastic, and the texture of the material is pleasant to the touch. This is the best choice, and the only thing that can be off-putting is the high cost.
Velor covers have a low cost, an original design (can be of different colors), good durability and do not require maintenance. This material takes on a streamlined shape and fits tightly onto the seats. Covers made of 100% velor are the most practical option.
If the covers contain synthetic polyester, keep in mind that this dense material does not allow air to pass through well, causing the skin to sweat.
Covers made of plush, tapestry. Inexpensive materials that absorb moisture well and are easy to wash. The main disadvantage is rapid wear.
Jacquard covers. This fabric consists of a complex weave of chemical and natural fibers. Durable and well breathable. Disadvantage: high price.
Fur covers can protect seats from wear, as well as keep you warm in winter or prevent you from sweating in summer. With such covers, the car interior becomes more prestigious. Universal fur covers
When purchasing, you should pay special attention to the quality of the fur.
Eco-leather covers are artificial leather without PVC. Modern material that “breathes” well, at the same time does not allow water to pass through. This material does not “melt” or smell in the heat, and does not crack in the cold. Eco-leather is pleasant to the touch and durable.
Very often the material is combined, for example, leatherette is used along the edges of the covers, and the central insert is made of velor.
Users of the Lada.online website have the opportunity to buy eco-leather covers for Vesta at a competitive price.
We invite you to take part in the survey and determine which covers are best suited for modern cars Lada Granta (sedan and liftback), Lada Kalina 2nd and 1st generation, Lada Priora or Lada Vesta. Case reviews will be especially helpful.
By the way, high-quality and inexpensive seat covers can be bought on our website:

Old Kalina or Granta, which is better for modern drivers?
The design features of the models and their appearance are not too different. More precisely, Granta is built on the Kalina platform, although it includes some modifications. Therefore, when determining which is better Kalina or Grant, you need to remember their initial similarities. The cost of transport differs according to the year of manufacture and the innovations received.
When comparing both models, it is worth considering the installed power systems. The data obtained will allow us to determine which is better than Lada Kalina or Lada Granta for city driving and driving along the highway.
Kalina, equipped with an 8-valve engine, produces only 82 hp, and Grant, due to its lightweight connecting rod and piston mechanism, has a power of 90 hp. But, if it breaks, the latter will require expensive repairs from the owner. While the restoration of its predecessor will require lower costs.
The gearboxes of the models are the same, so when choosing Lada Granta or Lada Kalina, you should pay attention only to certain ones. Both cars can be had with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.
In the future, developers may design a new robotic box for Granta
Novice drivers should pay special attention to this
It differs significantly for models. To the question of who requires refueling more often, Lada Kalina or Lada Granta, a positive answer concerns the latter. Granta requires around 7.4 liters in mixed driving.
Kalina is more economical in this regard and will need only 7 liters for 100 km in mixed mode. If the driver plans to make frequent trips and does not want to overpay for fuel, purchasing Kalina will be a practical option.

Which seats are suitable?
Replacing standard seats with a seat from a foreign car would be a completely logical decision, since for little money you can purchase good products that will still have a large residual life, thereby improving such parameters as:
- Lateral support
- Pressure adjustment
- Folding
- Electric heating
- Upholstery quality
- Height adjustment
As a rule, installing a non-original seat requires minor modifications, since if you install seats on foreign cars, they will differ significantly. But you can find ones that are more similar. It is best to choose a seat from a coupe, since they fit best in a three-door Niva as they allow passengers to get into the cabin without any problems.
The most suitable seats are from such foreign cars as:
But it is worth knowing that the demand for them is very high and it is not so easy to find them. Therefore, if you have a three-child Niva, then you can pick up a foreign car with four doors, but you will have to modify them yourself.

How to remove a VAZ 2114 seat to install other components or replace old passenger seats? On the one hand, the question is simple, but on the other hand, it is necessary to choose the right replacement for the old chairs. How to do it?
Step-by-step installation instructions
I'll tell you in what order I worked:
- I unscrewed 2 bolts front and rear in the cabin.
- I pulled out the old seats.
- When installing a new seat from Solaris, I used the second internal hole. A standard bolt was screwed into it.
- The outer runners are a little tight, so I had to put a little pressure on them. But the tension is very small.
The inner runners fit well. The alignment with the original hole is one to one. But I had to put a washer in, since the hole is slightly larger than the required diameter.
The seats stood up like family. They are slightly worn, not new. As a result, the size of the seats takes up exactly the same amount of space as standard ones.
If you measure the distance between the seats, it is a little more than 12 cm. Standard armrests are 12 cm wide, so it turns out that they will be flush. But there is such an accessory from Granta Sport, which is 11 cm wide. I ordered such an armrest and want to install it.
Now the armrest will not interfere with the adjustment of the backrest - there are no twists. They are now on the outside, and not knobs, but levers. This is more convenient - you can quickly recline and fold the seat.
The driver's seat now has a lift that can be used to adjust the height. With minimal lowering, it turns out to be slightly higher than on Grant.
That's why I'm riding in the lowest position for now. The seat belts fit without any problems.
Lada Kalina 2 or Lada Granta?
AvtoVAZ has recently taken up the production of new cars and, with a difference of just over a year, introduced two new models: the Lada Granta car and the second generation Lada Kalina. It would seem that the cars are not very different, but before buying, everyone wonders what will be offered to the buyer on Grant or Kalina 2. Let’s look at them in order.
Design of Granta and Kalina 2 cars
A whole group of engineers worked on the design of both cars, and this time they did a much better job. The cars turned out to be quite modern, similar to some foreign cars, but have their own recognizable features.
The Granta's design was created from scratch and is not similar to previous AvtoVAZ cars, and the second Kalina is not very different from the first, but looks much more modern and aggressive.
Engines Grants and Kalinas 2
AvtoVAZ practices using one engine model on several models at once. The difference is small - if on the Grant in the “standard” configuration the heart of the car is the “old” 8-valve with 81 hp, then such an engine is not installed on the Kalina 2 at all.
Rear sofas - what to replace them with in the VAZ 2110?
If everything is approximately clear with the front seat options, then the rear sofas require a special approach. We are talking about an unconventional size and rather strange types of fastening of a sofa from AvtoVAZ. If you are far from automotive, it is better not to modify the rear seats yourself. To do this you will need the help of specialists
It is important to find a car of the same size, as wider cushions and backrests will have to be redesigned. The installation process is quite complicated:
you need to choose good rear sofas from models such as Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai Solaris, KIA Rio, Renault Logan, and you can also pay attention to Toyota Corolla; Next comes the dismantling of the seats of your car, which is not particularly difficult - just unscrew a few fasteners to get all the structural parts without any difficulties; Next, you should try on new seats, it is quite possible that you will have to order their re-upholstery at a studio, since it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible, to guess the size perfectly; the next step is the installation of fasteners, it is necessary to remove the fastening parts from the VAZ seats and rearrange them on the purchased pillows and backrests for high-quality fastening; after that, all that remains is to install the finished seats in place and enjoy the updated interior of your car, also don’t forget to take a photo and share it on the forums and in the logbook.

Of course, this sounds much simpler than it is done. The process may take more than one day, especially if the seats need to be altered, shortened or lengthened. When choosing seats for the rear of a car, it is best to buy a whole interior set. This will help significantly reduce the cost of further alterations. After all, if you install chairs of different colors, you will have to sew covers or change the upholstery and spend extra money.
Refurbishment or not
Some may consider this a refurbishment, but I think not. I installed the seats on the Grant from a foreign car in the standard places. Skids without welding, also with 4 attachment points. Therefore, the reliability and installation method have not changed. And I doubt that it will be noticeable.
I ordered covers for the front seats and armrest.
It is secured with 3 screws. You need to unscrew them and install the armrest on them.
The armrest mounts fit well, everything fit together. Does the armrest interfere with the handbrake? If you fold it back, you can freely grab the handle with your hand. If you lower it, then using the handbrake is not so convenient. The height of the armrest turned out to be slightly higher than the gearshift knob.
Installation of covers
They sent me the covers that I ordered only for the front seats. Separately for the bottom, backrests and headrests.
I took it from the category of universal covers, since you can order 2 of them, without the rear seats. They cost only 2000 rubles. The material is soft and thick. Quite a budget option. The middle is a little convex, the bottom fits better.
I did everything I planned. I installed the seats on Granta from Solaris, the armrest, and put on the covers.
Modernization of interior and seats
OJSC AvtoVAZagregat produces and supplies seats for any VAZ model, including Lada Kalina Sport cars. A wide range of materials are used for seat upholstery with a different range of colors. The design of the seat includes a metal frame, which is made by welding, and padding elements, in the production of which elastic polyurethane foam is used. Textiles or artificial leather are used for upholstery. Specialists from AvtoVAZagregat OJSC have modified some elements of the Lada Kalina’s interior.
- Now, in the production of seats, components of Russian and foreign production are used. Lada seats are distinguished by innovative padding and more pronounced lateral support. They have become much more comfortable, safer and meet standard requirements.
- Pedal pads 11196 Sport 1.6L 16V are supplied as standard equipment for a VAZ car. A thick layer of polished stainless steel also has rubber inserts. They are fastened without drilling or riveting, using special clamps with bolts.
- The salon is distinguished by the dark graphite color scheme of the instrument panel and other interior elements. The luxury package includes a climate system and a number of other options provided for it.
Advantages of seats in Lada Kalina Sport:
- the design solution in the layout plan made it possible to optimize the area of the internal space;
- the seating height can provide sufficient visibility;
- the chairs are comfortable and ergonomic;
- large angles when opening doors adds convenience when passengers enter/exit;
- the rear seats can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of cargo sizes;
- The presence of glass with athermal properties can protect the car interior from seat burnout and interior overheating, and the luxury version of the model is equipped with a front seat heating system.
Due to the fact that modern materials are used in the Lada Kalina, the car's sound insulation is good. They are also currently developing seats for the Sport model, covered in artificial leather with performance characteristics corresponding to high-quality German-made samples.
In addition, the rear seats for the Lada Kalina car were designed using L-shaped headrests, which passed homologation testing at UTAK, in France. A project with seats for the Lada-2190 is at the development stage. The assembled seats are capable of withstanding 80,000 kilometers of testing for the condition of structural connections and installation.
Step-by-step installation instructions
I'll tell you in what order I worked:
- I unscrewed 2 bolts front and rear in the cabin.
- I pulled out the old seats.
- When installing a new seat from Solaris, I used the second internal hole. A standard bolt was screwed into it.

The driver's seat now has a lift that can be used to adjust the height. With minimal lowering, it turns out to be slightly higher than on Grant.
That's why I'm riding in the lowest position for now. The seat belts fit without any problems.
For finance
How much does the whole remodel cost?
- I bought 2 seats from a car dealer for 7,500 rubles.
- Armrest – 2150 rubles.
- Covers – 2000 rubles.
The total cost was 11,650 rubles for all my re-equipment. The most budget option, since I didn’t take original covers, but universal ones. They don't fit the pattern a little, but it's not noticeable. Original covers cost 6,500 rubles. To be honest, I regretted spending money on them.
Whether you want to make such a modification to the seats or not, decide for yourself. I was confused, I liked it - the Lada Granta became completely different. It became more comfortable in it.
Seats from which foreign cars can be viewed for the Tens?
Fits almost all seats from cars of similar size. This could be a B or C class car, which is famous for its comfort. Thanks to the abundance of disassemblies, buying used chairs will not be a problem. All that remains is to choose the chair model directly. For such a selection, it is worth focusing on already successfully completed projects, which car owners are happy to brag about in in-flight magazines. Here are just some popular examples:
- BMW E60. The seats in these models of Bavarian cars were mostly leather, and also equipped with an electric drive and other additions that the car owner would obviously like.
- Hyundai i40 or Hyundai i30. The seats are very comfortable and well thought out, and the ones from the i30 are preferable, as they leave more space in the cabin. The appearance is good and the side supports also work very well.
- Skoda Octavia A5. The seats are very comfortable and compact, there are the necessary adjustments, and well-defined lumbar support. The quality of the upholstery in this model is also pleasing, so you will definitely be satisfied with these chairs.
- Ford Focus. The alterations will be quite complex, but nevertheless, you will get excellent results. Especially if you can find seats from more expensive trim levels of this car, they are very comfortable and beautiful.
- Recaro. Many sports style lovers would like to see Recaro seats in their car. The easiest way is to find Opel proposals, but there are also solutions from other models; altering them will not be difficult even with your own hands.

This list goes on with most compact models from Volkswagen, Mercedes and other brands. There are a lot of interesting ideas on the market. But before buying chairs, you should find out if anyone has performed such an operation on their Ten before you. This can be found on the Internet, since most owners will definitely boast about such a change. However, you can try something new by posting your experience on the Internet to help others.

Priora or Granta
The price category of Grants and Priors is different. But these cars also have many common features, which complicates the choice. Consider the car interior and exterior. If we take the cars individually, they are better in appearance than the Grant. It compares favorably with the Priora car with its modern design.
These cars were equipped with identical engines. The only differences are in the configuration. The Granta has a better gearbox than the Priora. The creators updated the Grant and installed a new manual transmission. It is superior to the previous one, and this cannot be ignored. At the moment there are no vibrations in the car, and gear shifting has become more comfortable. Priora and Granta have identical technical characteristics, so fuel consumption will be corresponding.
The interior of the car is presented in European style. It has a high level of comfort and is quite quiet. The only drawback of the Grant is that, after driving several thousand kilometers, the car begins to “crack.” The Grant does not have a sensor that would show the engine temperature. If we talk about safety, the car meets all standards and requirements. Despite these shortcomings, this model is still considered successful. The Granta has an automatic transmission, which cannot be said about the Priora. Priora and Granta have the same high-quality suspension.
But remember that Granta appeared on the Russian car market later, which means its suspension is newer and improved. In addition to all the technical characteristics, the prices of both machines should be compared. Priora is inexpensive compared to Granta. It can be noted as a fairly economical model. Priora is popular among young people. The downside is her stance. Due to the quality of the roads, they simply begin to fall apart. But overall the model is not bad.

One of the most important advantages is the possibility of their additional equipment. If you order such chairs directly from the studio, you are given the opportunity to equip them with an electric heating system, an embroidered logo (this can be either the emblem of the manufacturer or just a VAZ logo), adjustable lumbar support, as well as a forward reclining mechanism, which is especially important for Niva owners.
Drivers also note the convenience and comfort of the tuned seats. Each of these options has adjustable lumbar support rigidity, which eliminates driver fatigue on long trips. The seating position of this chair is significantly higher than that of standard ones, and visibility inside increases accordingly. Some models are additionally equipped with locking mechanisms and other technical bells and whistles.
As for reliability, unlike standard VAZ ones, these products are made of high-quality steel, and therefore have a reliable and durable design. Proof of this is the presence of normalized corners (present on almost every tuned chair). They are often made from rolled metal measuring 5x4x0.4 centimeters.
The cost of used products taken from disassembly and those purchased by drivers at a tuning studio is almost the same - about 100-200 US dollars per unit.
