If you turn on the TV at least sometimes (and you shouldn't do it often), you are probably aware of the latest trends in advertising fashion. So, if earlier in advertising all sorts of fashionable powders were compared with "ordinary" and "cheap", now, due to difficult times, the promotion of products is under the slogan "Why pay more." And this advertising strategy fits perfectly into the general frame of mind. Therefore, today we will take a closer look at one of the most affordable and versatile cars, which has not won real recognition among Russians, through this prism.

We write "affordable" - and this is a fact: for such money, such a Priora has no analogues. However, among the others, the Lad station wagon based on the Priora is just the most expensive, moreover, in the entire history of AvtoVAZ. True, the sedan is cheaper by only 10,567 rubles, and the hatchback is even less - 5350 rubles.

The cost of the car, which you see in the photographs, is a little more than 357,000 rubles. This is the "Lux" grade. What is offered for this money? ABS, power steering, two airbags, parking sensors, power accessories, air conditioning, rain and light sensors, athermal glass, roof rails, fastenings for the net in the trunk ... But the net itself, alas, is not included in the package. There is no radio tape recorder - it is offered only in the "Deluxe" version at a price of 362,000 rubles. But in such superlads there will be no less than Bluetooth and a USB port.

There are cheaper options - for 314,000 rubles, but there is already frankly empty.

It is noteworthy that anti-corrosion treatment, as before, is done for an additional fee and is not included in the standard equipment. But the guarantee against through corrosion without any anticorrosive is 6 years.

From a technical point of view, the revolution did not happen with the release of the station wagon - under the hood is still the same engine familiar from Priore (1.6 l, 98 hp and 145 Nm) and a 5-speed manual transmission, in which, according to reviews, everything the curtain also vibrates. Countless loans from the government have not allowed to deal with this "joint". However, the Priora project management assures: a little more - and the mechanism will be radically reworked, and it will be possible to forget about past worries like about a nightmare.

However, in a number of cases, Togliatti residents decided to follow the path of least resistance and, stepping on the throat of their own song, turned to specialists. Suffice it to say that the world's leading manufacturers have worked hard for the new Priora: AVL, Bosch, Federal Mogul, Halla Climat Control, Panasonic. In total, during the preparation of the station wagon, 227 original parts were mastered and another 407 positions were modernized.

As a result, the car turned out to be international: the interior of the cabin was redesigned by Italian, airbags - by French specialists, individual engine elements were originally from Germany, all stamps for new body elements of the car were made in Japan, the air conditioner was developed by Koreans, and the proprietary (!) Music system - by the Japanese ...

Wouldn't it be worthwhile, by analogy, to attract ZF to develop an automatic transmission and stop throwing money away?

Perhaps this is partly why the body, on the design of which the staff of AvtoVAZ worked, turned out to be generally successful. At least, there is no trace of absurdity, which was distinguished by its predecessor - a station wagon based on the "tenth" model.

The new Priora has received an expressive sidewall, elaborated rear fenders, and a tailgate can boast of original lighting technology, which looks quite modern. Thanks to this, the station wagon came out more harmoniously than a sedan and even more so a hatchback - one would not be tempted to call such a car a barn. Well, perhaps in quotes. And if you also remember its functionality - a spacious trunk, which can be increased by folding the rear seats and getting 777 loading liters? .. If you wish, you can even spend the night here.

Unfortunately, it is not interesting to discuss what a car is in motion. Firstly, it differs little from the Priora we know about, about which we can only state: the car is driving. Secondly, there is no need to wait for miracles - Lada never tried to flirt with driving pleasure. One can say only about visibility - as in many station wagons, it is not very good, so the parking sensors, which the car is equipped with in the "luxury" version, is not an extra option at all.

Despite the lack of funds, AvtoVAZ's plans are truly Napoleonic.

In the near future, the designers promise to release a version with automatic transmission, start production of 1.8-liter engines, add a couple more options for the SuperLux like a standard navigation system and side airbags. And one more body will help get rid of the "retirement" image of the model. Yes, yes, coupe!
Such are the plans. The main thing is that the government agrees to finance all these undertakings, because so far, despite multimillion-dollar infusions and the containment of prices for components, AvtoVAZ is one of the most unprofitable auto enterprises in the world.

However, it just so happened that the new Priore will have to play on an empty field with herself. And not because the opponents folded or didn't come to the match. It's just that no one else is represented in this League. Station wagons Focus, Lacetti, Fabia, Ceed are more expensive by an average of 150,000 rubles... And by the way, even with this, the equipment is poorer. More affordable hits of Russian sales Renault Logan or Chevrolet Lanos are presented exclusively by sedans. And therefore, quality issues and the need for further modernization lie entirely on the conscience of the management of the Volga Automobile Plant. The potential to make a car not only affordable, but also good is there. There would be a desire.

And then we will say with a clear conscience: why, in fact, pay more when you can save money by experiencing as a bonus a surge of patriotic emotions?

Dimensions and other parameters

Let's compare some of the sizes of these modifications.

The length of the car in the sedan modification is 4350 mm, the curb height is 1420 mm with a wheel track of 1410 mm for the front wheels and 1380 mm for the rear.

Cars with this type of body are equipped with a softer suspension and have a good balance (weight distribution) along the axles.

It is no coincidence that the word "hatchback" means "shortened" in English. The length of the Lada Priora car in such a body is 4210 mm with a height of 1435 mm. The hatchback's shortened rear overhang makes it easy to park and operate. The good aerodynamic shape also contributes to this. At the same time, cars in both modifications have the same ground clearance (135 mm under the exhaust system and 170 mm under the power unit), overall width (1680 mm, excluding the size of rear-view mirrors) and wheel track width of the rear and front wheels, weight specifications. Fuel consumption differs slightly.

Of the differences, I would also like to note the differences in the installation of child seats (UF or U).

Price

Prices for cars with different body shapes in the same configuration differ only slightly, although the hatchback is still slightly cheaper due to its shorter length.

This is where the differences between sedan and hatchback modifications for cars of this model end.

Priora sedan or hatchback: which is better

The pride of AvtoVAZ

Lada Priora is a fairly high-quality domestic car that has a pleasant appearance and a relatively low price. But when choosing a car, car owners are wondering which body they prefer: a hatchback, a station wagon or a sedan? To answer it, it is worth considering the features of each configuration. It is important to make the right choice, because you want the car to please you for many years.

Choosing any Priora car, you will be satisfied with the quality and comfort. The model that best suits your requirements will provide you with the maximum convenience. And here it is important to understand what type of body is best suited for the realization of your goals.

Each of the presented body types has certain characteristics that distinguish it from the rest. When choosing, it is very important to consider not only ride comfort. Pay attention to the vehicle's capacity and maneuverability.

Back to the table of contents

Sedan

The Priora in this configuration has been produced since 2007 and is the first model in the line. The sedan may resemble the VAZ 2110, but the modified interior, the new engine and the presence of electrical equipment speak of a higher level of the car. Although the changed elements are not striking, a lot of work has been done.

The model has a classic body design. Externally, the car looks more solid than others, so it can be used for representative purposes. The car has a softer suspension and a separate trunk.

It is worth paying attention to the shortcomings of the equipment. The first is less comfortable handling due to protruding parts of the machine. The second is that the trunk is smaller than that of the rest of the line. If the solid appearance of the car is important for you, and capacity is in second place, you can safely choose this model.

Back to the table of contents

This body type has been produced since 2008. Lada Priora in this configuration is devoid of those design flaws that the previous car model possessed. Changes were made to:

• the rear lane of the lanterns, which was located from side to side in one piece;
• a rear wheel arch, often criticized by car owners;
• elements of the side surface of the body.

Hatchback modification

Hatchback cars are characterized by good maneuverability compared to a sedan or station wagon. In addition, the owner of this car can increase the luggage compartment by folding the rear seats. This allows you to transport large enough loads.

The hatchback reflects a sporty style. Thanks to this design, the machine is very popular among young people. The fuel consumption of this model is no more than that of sedans. Due to its economy and capacity, as well as its attractive appearance, the car is very popular among active people.

Back to the table of contents

Station wagon

This configuration is the most practical. The modified roof, redesigned bumpers, as well as doors and fenders make the vehicle attractive and interesting. Provided:

• large trunk compartment;
• fog lights;
• heated seats;
• power steering;
• air conditioner.

A station wagon is a good option for those who often travel with the whole family. The machine is comfortable and spacious. You can even sleep in the car without experiencing any discomfort. But keep in mind that the handling of this configuration is slightly worse. In addition, the station wagon is equipped with a stiffer suspension.

Determine for yourself what exactly you need. When choosing between spaciousness, sporty style and personable appearance, do not stop at analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the car. Try to understand what type of Priora body you like best. And if possible, get behind the wheel of each of the three models.

First of all, of course, you need to be guided by considerations of practicality. If you are a family man, it is better to buy a roomy car. When using the machine for business trips, you should not purchase a sports-style model that will give the impression of frivolity. A varied lineup of Lada cars will allow you to choose exactly what you were looking for.

sedan or Priora hatchback? + video

Choosing the right car for yourself is almost a whole science in the world of the instantly developing car market. If you remain faithful to the domestic brand, then Lada Priora is an excellent, fairly inexpensive and high-quality option. However, it also has its own variations. Let's take a closer look at each of them and find out which is better: a hatchback or a Priora sedan?

Priora sedan.

Priora in the sedan body began to be produced in 2007 and at the same time became the 1st model in its line, a kind of quality addition to the VAZ 2110 of a higher level.

There is also an improved interior, modern electrical equipment, and a powerful engine. At the same time, the car has a representative classic appearance. It is created by a solid body, a separate trunk and a softer suspension.

The disadvantages of the Priora sedan are:

1. protruding parts of the car, giving it not the best handling;
2. the smallest trunk in relation to other representatives of the selected line.

If the capacity of the chosen car is not important to you, you can safely stop at this model.

Priora hatchback.

Speaking of a hatchback car, it can be noted that it has been produced since 2008. And also that this model does not have the design flaws that were mentioned in the previous configuration of the car, and all because the hatchback Priora has undergone certain modifications: they changed the rear lantern strip, the rear wheel arch (the previous version was criticized by car owners), elements of the side surface body.

The Priora hatchback is distinguished by quite attractive maneuverability relative to the sedan. In addition, the owner of such a car can effortlessly increase his luggage compartment several times by folding only the rear seats, which can allow transporting considerable loads.

Also a distinctive feature of the Priora hatchback is its sporty style, thanks to which this model is in demand among young people.

The fuel in the model under consideration is consumed as much as in the sedan (no more).

Conclusion.

The Priora hatchback is more aerodynamic, it has a spacious luggage compartment and a comfortable free interior (no less than a sedan's interior). With all this, the hatchback is also 14 centimeters shorter than its "colleague" in the line. But because of its appearance, this body is not suitable for everyone (for example, those who often travel in their car for work). However, there is no dispute about tastes, so you should always choose what is more “to your liking” - it will be better for you directly.

Review of the owner of LADA Kalina hatchback 1.6 MT (I generation). Lada Kalina sedan or hatchback which is better

Kalina or Priora - which car is better to choose?

Need a new car? Is there a choice between LADA Kalina and LADA Priora? Let's compare both models, find out the drawbacks and decide which one is better.

Lada Kalina

The development of the Kalina model began in 1993. But it was only in 2005 that AvtoVAZ launched a car on the market. This is no longer a modification of the produced cars and not an upgraded version - it is a new car. In 2013, the production of the second generation of Kalina started in a new body and with sporty features in character.

The engine power reached 106 horsepower, and in the sports model - 114 hp, the maximum torque was increased from 120 to 148 Nm. Fuel injection has become electronically controlled.

Lada Priora

Priora appeared on the market in 2007. For ten years, the car's appearance has changed, safety has increased, noise insulation has improved, and the gearbox has been modernized. The engine volume reached 1.8 liters. This model did not defend the right to be unique and is considered the prototype of the VAZ-2110. In 2019, the release of Priora is planned to be stopped.

General characteristics in different cars

The family of VAZs under consideration is presented in a sedan, hatchback and station wagon type body. Prioru and Kalina are produced with a complete set of "Standard", "Norma" and "Lux". The difference lies in the price and the availability of additional features.

The "Standard" includes only the essentials for getting around. An electric power steering and central locking are installed here. Only audio preparation completed. Power windows - front.

"Norma" is equipped with a power steering, burglar alarms, 14-inch discs and minor options.

Well, in the "Luxe" power windows are installed for all windows, head restraints are already present in the rear seats. The airbags will deploy for the driver and front passenger. Fog lights, heated seats, multimedia and navigation system, alloy wheels, ABS, air conditioning are also in the "Lux" package.

Each model under consideration has an engine located in front, its volume is 1596 cc. Fuel tank - 50 l. For refueling you need A-95 gasoline. The front suspension is independent, the rear suspension is semi-independent. There are 5 passenger seats in the car. Manual Transmission.

The toxicity standards for modern cars of this line are Euro-5. And this means that you can ride in European countries without any problems. The same cannot be said about the first generation cars. Their toxicity standard is Euro-3.

What are the differences between Priora and Kalina?

For the purity of the "experiment" for comparison, let's say cars in a station wagon, with an engine capacity of 1.6 liters, with 16 valves and 106 horsepower, with a capacity of 5800 rpm (1.6 L 16-CL. (106 HP). ), 5MT).

1. Priora is longer, but narrower and lower. Visually, the differences are not noticeable. But three passengers in the rear seats will be more comfortable in Kalina.
2. Kalina's ground clearance is 5 cm less. Which is not important in this case. Both cars can easily drive over uneven country roads or holes on asphalt roads.
3. The luggage compartment of the Priora is 75 liters more.
4. Kalina in 11 s. accelerates to a speed of 100 km / h. Its maximum speed, declared by the manufacturer, is 181 km / h. Priora, on the other hand, accelerates to 100 km / h in 11.5 s, and its maximum speed is 183 km / h. In this case, without comment, it is clear who is cooler.
5. The fuel consumption for these cars in the extra-urban cycle is 5.6 l / 100 km. In the urban and mixed cycle, Kalina is more economical.

Advantages and disadvantages

Viburnum advantages:

• The modern design distinguishes Kalina from the general traffic flow. And the cost of this car is an order of magnitude lower than the Priora.
• Maneuverable, specially designed for city driving.
• Affordable prices for repair and maintenance. No problem buying spare parts.
• The car is small on the outside, but spacious inside.
• The headlights are bright. The view of the windshield is wide.
• Warm in winter. But service station specialists often have to deal with problems in the operation of the stove.
• The body is less susceptible to corrosion. Even if the car periodically spends the night outside in frost and rain, this will not affect its performance and appearance in any way.
• A person of any height will feel comfortable in the cabin.

Disadvantages of Kalina:

• Power windows love to be capricious.
• The pump quickly fails.
• Noisy gearbox and chassis.
• An extraneous noise appears in the cabin at a speed above 100 km / h. Rigid suspension. Poor insulation.

Positive aspects of Priora:

1. The car has good directional stability, easy and safe cornering.
2. With a large acceleration - the road holds confidently.
3. Bright illumination of controls and instruments.
4. A solid set of options.

Disadvantages of Priora:

• Expensive to maintain.
• Poor interior insulation. Noisy engine and rear parcel shelf.
• There is little space for three passengers in the rear seats.
• The muffler body and resonator are highly susceptible to corrosion.
• Unreliable thrust bearings.
• The electric booster is a weak point.
• Wipers often fail.
• Poor glass seals.

Summing up the results. Deciding which car to choose

1. If you need a car for a trip to the dacha and transportation of goods, then it is better to choose Kalina. At Priora, after a year of operation, the backside may sink. You will have to prematurely replace the struts and springs. Friends in the back seats will be cramped.
2. Priora's body is very susceptible to corrosion. This means you have to drive carefully. This car should live in the garage.
3. The characteristics of the cars are almost the same. But Priora is an order of magnitude more expensive than Kalina. And in the service too.
4. According to the crash test, it was found that in the event of an accident, the body of the Priora suffers greatly. The driver and passenger will receive non-life-threatening injuries. In Kalina, the body is slightly damaged, but the passengers are seriously injured.
5. Both considered "samples" with high ground clearance and low fuel consumption. Traveling out of town on moderate off-road for these cars is not terrible.
6. Priora repeats the VAZ 2110 in the design of the body and interior. The appearance of Kalina is not like other cars of the domestic auto industry.

All characteristics of Kalina and Priora are known. The advantages and disadvantages are revealed. All that remains is to make the choice of a car that is right for you.

Sedan or hatchback: what to choose

The dilemma regarding a sedan or a LADA hatchback is eternal! A huge number of people have a conservative love for sedans. However, as we all know, progress is not marking time, innovations have also touched the automotive sphere, and once having tried a unique hatch, you realize that the light did not converge on sedans.

Sedan lovers cite as advantages many advantages that the Hatch allegedly do not have, however, they are opposed by a number of convincing arguments. For example, it is much more convenient to ride a Hatch in a metropolis due to their compactness; there is a function of expanding the trunk by folding the rear seats.

Did you know that interest in the European bodywork began to grow rapidly in 2007-2008, exactly when the AVTOVAZ concern initiated the launch of such models as LADA Kalina and LADA Priora. This option turned out to be not only convenient in operation, but also very affordable, which did not affect its quality in any way. Hence, we observe an increased demand for these vehicles.

As for the sedans, as the auto expert Evgeny Vesel notes, “the sedan model is quite convenient to use, practical and looks advantageous. The trunk is, as it were, in decent isolation from the car interior, thanks to this, there are no unnecessary noises and sounds, and the appearance of extraneous odors from the products in the luggage compartment is completely excluded. The luggage compartment is not heated by the stove, which in turn significantly saves resources spent. As you know, there will be demand - there will be supply, because it is not in vain that foreign manufacturers create the latest sedan models especially for the Russian Federation ”.

In the modern world, cars are treated much more simply: a huge number of motorists do not consider a certain model from the angle of durability and versatility. That is, the desire to purchase a vehicle for decades has sunk into oblivion. Now everything is completely different: I did not like it - after a couple of years I made a replacement. Moreover, car manufacturers are constantly expanding the LADA model range. Therefore, it makes no sense to dwell on one type of car, when you can try, experiment and draw your own conclusions.

What to choose - a sedan or a hatchback?

Since then, as the same models, but in a different design, the body began to roll off the conveyors of auto concerns

xn - 44-6kchdmw3bgiawoo4b.xn - p1ai

Lada Priora sedan or hatchback: which is better, owner reviews

In the sedan, the body is two-volume, that is, the trunk of the car is structurally separated from the passenger compartment. The trunk volume is 430 liters. In winter, when it is opened, cold air does not enter the interior, which also warms up faster. The rear window gets less dirty than the hatchback (which has a tailgate glass washer). In a rear impact during an accident, the cabin does not depressurize. The driver and passengers do not get unpleasant odors (for example, a spare can of gasoline) from the luggage compartment.

Trunk

In a hatchback, the body is one-volume, since the trunk is not separated from the passenger compartment. Its cover is an additional door. This facilitates loading and unloading operations and makes it possible to get inside the car in case, say, freezing of other door locks in winter. On the other hand, opening it quickly cools the air inside the car. Since the luggage compartment does not have sufficient sound insulation, the overall noise level inside the car increases. This is also facilitated by the knock of the rear shelf, which appears when it is not firmly fixed.

Lada Priora 7 years of operation. How much does it cost to repair priors. Review from AS test drive

Despite the fact that the useful volume of the trunk in this case (here it is only 360 liters) is much lower than that of the sedan, with the rear seats folded, its volume almost doubles - up to 705 liters. The rear seats, depending on the size of the load, can be folded either completely or partially. It becomes possible to transport bulky goods: baby carriages, refrigerators, skis, garden tools, etc., which makes it practical in many cases.

Now consider: Priora sedan or hatchback, which is better for other characteristics.

Many motorists are interested in the question, which model of the domestic auto industry is better: Priora sedan or hatchback? At first glance, there are no tangible differences between the two frequently sold models, the main difference in these modifications lies in the body shape and design. The developers of this car brand presented on the market 3 body options: comfortable sedan, spacious hatchback, station wagon.

Many car enthusiasts choose Priora for its comfort and excellent workmanship. The maximum sense of comfort will be given to names by the model that fully meets all the proposed requirements. When choosing a model for the domestic auto industry, you should pay attention to the level of car capacity and maneuverability.

Priora sedan: general description

Priora in the popular sedan configuration went into mass production since 2007, from that moment it is considered the first model of the automobile line. Visually, the sedan resembles the traditional VAZ 2110, but unlike the latter, the sedan has a modified interior, a new powerful internal engine, and the built-in high-quality electrical equipment indicates a higher level of the car.

The body of the traditional Priora is made in classic design... Externally, the model looks more solid, has a soft suspension and a separate roomy trunk.

In addition to the advantages, this model has certain drawbacks, which every car enthusiast needs to know about. One of them lies in insufficiently comfortable control due to protruding elements. The boot capacity is less than that of other modifications of the domestic auto industry. Those motorists for whom the representative appearance of the car is important, and the total capacity is in the background, should boldly choose this model.

Modification of a car with this body type has been produced since 2008. Lada Priora in a similar design configuration has undergone major changes that previous models had. Externally, the rear lamp strip, a dense rear wheel arch, and individual elements of the side body part have undergone changes.

Hatchback cars stand out from the rest of the configurations excellent maneuver, in comparison with the station wagon and the classic sedan. In the initial position, the trunk is able to accommodate 360 liters of cargo... By folding the rear seats, the driver can increase the total luggage space by up to 705 l, so necessary for the transportation of bulky goods.

The hatchback is executed in a classic sporty style. Thanks to such an interesting performance, sports modification is in demand among young people. It also stands out for its economical fuel consumption during operation. Efficiency, practicality and capacity are the main parameters thanks to which the hatchback has earned love and recognition among active people.

What do they have in common

Cars of both modifications have similar aerodynamic shape, the same ground clearance, in measurement it looks like this: 135 mm above the exhaust system and 170 mm above the power unit. They have almost the same wheel track widths of the rear and front wheels, similar weight parameters. Their fuel costs are hardly distinguishable.

The main differences

Experts note the following differences in these two car modifications:

1. Common parameters... The length of the car in the modification of the comfortable sedan is 4350 mm, the height is 1420 mm, the width of the front wheel track is 1410 mm, and the rear is 1380 mm. The hatchback is shortened in terms of dimensions: length 4210 mm, height parameters - 1435 mm. Thanks to the shortened rear section, parking and driving of the comfortable hatchback are simplified.
2. Trunk capacity... The trunk capacity of the sedan has a capacity of 430 liters, the hatchback is capable of accepting up to 360 liters, when the rear sofa is folded, this space expands to 705 liters.
3. Differences in the installation of mandatory child seats - in the sedan, this is done according to the UF type, in the hatchback - U.

Choice

It is possible to make the final choice of a car according to the body shape only when purchasing a new model that has just left the salon. When selecting a model in the secondary market, it is worth considering the current value and general technical parameters. If for all the listed qualities the car meets all the requirements, then it is advisable to purchase it.

During the inspection of the body, their own needs and wishes are taken into account. The purchased model should be as comfortable as possible and correspond to the operating conditions.

If we analyze the cost of these two options, then the prices for the sedan are more democratic, in the secondary market they ask for a sedan 345 ths rub., but a good hatchback will cost a little more - 354 ths rub.

A solid sedan is suitable for trips to the workplace; accomplished men prefer to choose it. This is a great option for frequent highway driving without additional burdening with cargo. It has good dynamism, it will easily take its owner to the workplace.

If trips to work are combined with visiting wholesale outlets for purchasing food or large shopping centers, then it is better to purchase a Priora with a spacious hatchback body.

What is better and for whom?

As a rule, family people with children choose a spacious universal car among the line of the domestic car industry. You can download it necessary for family trips to the country. Adherents of youth sports style prefer to drive a beautiful hatchback.

Conclusion

When choosing a car body type, it is worth considering all its comprehensive features. First you need to understand for what purpose you need a car. This understanding will help you realize your own need and make an informed choice. In this case, you should not rush to the first option that comes across. It is necessary to analyze all the available offers on the market, this also applies to existing car dealerships.

Let's compare some of the sizes of these modifications.

The length of the car in the sedan modification is 4350 mm, the curb height is 1420 mm with a wheel track of 1410 mm for the front wheels and 1380 mm for the rear.

Cars with this type of body are equipped with a softer suspension and have a good balance (weight distribution) along the axles.

It is no coincidence that the word "hatchback" means "shortened" in English. The length of the Lada Priora car in such a body is 4210 mm with a height of 1435 mm. The hatchback's shortened rear overhang makes it easy to park and operate. The good aerodynamic shape also contributes to this. At the same time, cars in both modifications have the same ground clearance (135 mm under the exhaust system and 170 mm under the power unit), overall width (1680 mm, excluding the size of rear-view mirrors) and wheel track width of the rear and front wheels, weight specifications. Fuel consumption differs slightly.

Of the differences, I would also like to note the differences in the installation of child seats (UF or U).

Price

Prices for cars with different body shapes in the same configuration differ only slightly, although the hatchback is still slightly cheaper due to its shorter length.

This is where the differences between sedan and hatchback modifications for cars of this model end.

When choosing a car, we pay attention not only to the engine size, the type of gearbox and its equipment. The choice of body type is important. Many people choose from a hatchback, station wagon or sedan on the principle "I like these", but do not forget that each type of body was designed for specific purposes. Also, each of them has both its pros and cons.

Hatchback

This body type is ideal for city trips. The short wheelbase slightly reduces the turning radius and makes it easy to maneuver among other machines. Also, the hatchback takes up little parking space, which is important in a big city. The rear window is usually quite large, has a good view in the rearview mirror and has its own wiper blade.

But the hatchback also has its drawbacks. First of all - a small volume of the trunk. Of course, if one or two people are driving in a car, then you can fold or remove the back of the rear seat, but four of you cannot go to nature in such a car.

Another negative side - the trunk is combined with the interior. Since the trunk floor of almost all models is poorly soundproofed, the noise level in the cabin is quite high. In addition, hatchbacks are rarely equipped with large-volume engines, so it is not very convenient for out-of-town trips.

Station wagon

Basically, a station wagon is an elongated hatchback with a larger wheelbase. Due to its length, it is less maneuverable, but it has an impressive trunk. Typically, this type of vehicle is used for transportation, so station wagons are often equipped with large engines and diesel engines. On this, perhaps, the pros ended.

The station wagon's cabin is quite noisy, for the same reason as in the hatchback's cabin. The rear window is quite far away from the driver, therefore the view in the rearview mirror is reduced. Due to the fact that the rear part is high, when reversing it is constantly scratched by low tree branches. And parking in such a car is not very convenient. Such a car is suitable for those who rarely visit the big city; rather, it is convenient for out-of-town trips.

Sedan

The base of the sedan is longer than that of the hatchback, in some models it is the same as in the station wagon. The trunk is quite roomy, and given the fact that the backs of the rear seats can be folded or removed, it is quite acceptable for transporting bulky items.

Another positive point is that the trunk is separated from the passenger compartment, so the cabin has a low noise level. As a rule, it is sedans that are equipped with the widest range of engines, ranging from low-volume gasoline engines to large-volume diesel engines.

One bad point is that the sedan has no wiper blade on the rear window. Also, the volume of the cabin can be attributed to the negative aspects of this type of body. As a rule, the distance between the rear and front seats is slightly less than that of a hatchback or station wagon. In principle, a sedan is a car that can be driven both in the city and outside the city, in its own way, it is universal.
