• Condition and choice of Lada Priora and Lada Kalina

At first glance, the question sounds like “do you want black or green tea?”
On the second one, actually, too. Before the arrival of foreign engineers and managers, VAZ riveted surprisingly identical cars, even if they formally belonged to different classes. On the secondary market, the second Kalina and the first generation restyled Priora cost almost the same - 314 and 312 thousand rubles, respectively. Offers for them are also almost at the same level - 140-155, but Priora is most often bought and sold. In May, it was checked 22,730 times through avtocod.ru, placing it in second place among all models. “Kalina” ended up in 16th place with 12,997 checks. What is better to buy on the secondary market - Priora or Kalina, let's figure it out.

Heading optics contains 4 lamps

Let's look at how the directional optics, that is, the front headlight, is designed. The block contains four compartments, each of which contains one element:

• High beam lamp (H1);
• Low beam lamp (H7);
• Combined lamp for running lights and “dimensions” (W21/5W);
• Turn signal lamp (P21W yellow - PY21W).

The standard size of the element is indicated in parentheses.

If we talk about low and high beams, standard power lamps (55 watts) are installed from the factory. It is not recommended to greatly exceed this value. Lighting fixtures of sizes H1-H7 look like this:

H1 – high beam, H7 – low beam

When making a purchase, the main thing is not to confuse an H7 lamp with a halogen lamp of a similar size (H4). Also, some companies produce 24-volt lighting devices.

When replacing halogen light sources, adhere to the following rules: do not touch the glass with hands without gloves; it is recommended to degrease the lampshade before installation. “Secunda” is suitable as a cleaner.

The following text shows the side and running lights:

There will be two filaments in the headlight bulb and DRL

Its standard size is W21/5W. Well, the turn signal bulbs in the directional optics use standard ones. They are equipped with a metal base, their standard size is P21W (PY21W).

The yellow lampshade looks like orange

Features of Lada Kalina

Many car enthusiasts were skeptical about the presentation of the Lada Kalina. It was not easy to convince our people that the domestic auto industry is capable of creating a worthy competitor to foreign analogues. According to some, the new model is just a modified body of the “tens”. Is it really?

It is true that the Lada Kalina and the “ten” have a lot in common. But the desire to make a car that would meet the requirements of the West forced manufacturers to use completely new technologies that had not previously been used in the CIS automotive industry. One of the goals of creating Kalina was to adjust it to the state standards of many European countries.

Lada Kalina is perhaps the first Russian car whose safety complies with EuroNCAP (European Committee for the Assessment of Automotive Safety). The most important parts of the machine are made of steel, which has a sufficient reserve of dynamic resistance. This allows the car to withstand impacts without significant damage.

Anti-corrosion protection, which was improved in Togliatti, allows us to guarantee the successful operation of the car for up to 6 years. 49% of the body is made of galvanization and is treated with a special protective paint. This is 20% higher than the VAZ 2110.

The electrical equipment of the Lada Kalina has been improved with a new generator, new wiring harnesses and sealed connectors. The car's battery is protected by a thermal cover. At the same time, there is enough energy to ignite the engine even in 30-degree frost.

The instruments on the panel have high precision characteristics. Lamp signaling devices have been replaced with modern LED ones. The window control unit, created using new mechanisms and technologies and eliminating the possibility of injury when closing the window, is located on the driver's armrest. The on-board computer is superior to the “tens” analogue.
