The car LADA PRIORA (project 2170), which replaces the "top ten", was first presented at the 6th Russian International Automobile Salon "AUTO SALON-2003". This is a class "C" sedan, the base model of a new family of front-wheel drive vehicles developed on the LADA-110 platform. About 350 original parts and assemblies were used in LADA PRIORA, which allows us to speak of this car as a new model, according to a press release. Modern head and rear optics, graceful fenders and bumpers, radiator lining with a large branded boat make the appearance of the flagship of the LADA brand solid and attractive. But even more significant innovations lie inside. LADA PRIORA received a 1.6-liter 16-valve engine with increased power. The transmission has a reinforced clutch, designed to transmit torque of 145 Nm. The gearbox is equipped with sealed bearings with extended service life.
