In mid-2018, AVTOVAZ released the last car from the Lada Priora series, announcing new and modern models. According to factory reports, sales last year significantly declined. Therefore, such a decision was made.
Notably, the market reacted instantly to the discontinuation of the model line. New cars in dealerships did not increase in price. However, the secondary market surprised everyone – prices in Russia increased by 10-20%. In neighboring countries (CIS countries), sellers raised prices for used cars by 30-50%. Interestingly, the popular brand AvtoVAZ did not lose demand.
Lada Priora – a car for all occasions
Ease of maintenance and availability of spare parts are the main advantages of the “people’s” car. Youth and pensioners alike claim that in terms of technical specifications and ease of operation, there is no alternative. Naturally, in the budget class.
What is needed for comfortable driving? A car that doesn’t break down, consumes less fuel, and performs well on the highway. And the Lada Priora perfectly fits these criteria. Plus, the car is available in various body styles (sedan, hatchback, station wagon, coupe). For family trips outside the city, fishing with friends, or a ride with your beloved girl.
Soundproofing, automatic window lifts, power steering, air conditioning, programmable computer – a full set for “pennies”. And considering its sporty appearance and excellent potential for tuning, Lada Priora has few competitors on the market.
How can we forget the legendary “Niva,” which has been discontinued multiple times? The all-terrain vehicle, perfect for all occasions, has proven itself well in Russia and CIS countries. Moreover, Europeans also seize the opportunity to acquire a cheap-to-maintain Russian SUV. And what do we see – the updated Niva has returned to showrooms. Based on reviews from car enthusiasts on forums, the Lada Priora is likely to be revived as well. Within AVTOVAZ, a restyling is being planned, and production may resume.
Priora is a great car. Attractive exterior, economical, and practical. Therefore, people are unlikely to switch to something else. And despite what global experts claim, insisting that AVTOVAZ is “cobbing together” old models, we, the buyers, know that the truth is different.
