What's new in UAZ Patriot of the Year. UAZ Patriot has become “closer to the city. Advantages and disadvantages

Thank you for taking the time to read this report, about this (generally good) car: UAZ-Patriot, new, 2015 (February).

Since, for the last couple of decades, I have been using exclusively Japanese brands, you will not hear "patriotic" praises in my performance! Everything that I will write below is my purely personal opinion, and I ask you to treat it with understanding! Supporters and opponents of the domestic auto industry, I also ask you not to make shit in the branch! Let's respect each other's opinions!

Since the UAZ was bought by the family not the first (and not the second) car, I will involuntarily compare it with another car I have: "MMC Pajero 4" 2012, which in general, in my opinion, is fair. Having similar configurations, dimensions, weight and engine volume (2.7 vs 3.0), they can be called classmates without a stretch, despite the different transmissions and price category.

So, the background of the purchase:

What can you do? Well, I love auto tourism! But since our region is remote and does not have a developed road network, accordingly, all travels in Kamchatka are closely related to off-road transport. Last years, on the streets of our towns you can see a lot of prepared vehicles from compact SUVs such as "Suzuki Jimny" to rotational vehicles based on GAZ-66, Uralov, Kamaz. There really is something to see in Kamchatka, therefore, especially in the summer months, this all-terrain community is sharply activated. Someone carries tourists, someone is looking for entertainment himself. Carried away a few years ago by ATVs, I have visited many beautiful places Kamchatka Territory. But the ATV, in addition to its amazing cross-country ability, has one very big drawback. This is a problem in overcoming fords on mountain rivers! In addition, it is problematic to go to a quad train with a family, especially along an extreme route. Gradually "kvadrobanda" dried up to two people, and the ride became boring. But new familiar jeepers appeared ...

In general, the question arose about purchasing a jeep within 600 thousand rubles, for outdoor trips in the summer and for a trouble-free ride on snowy winter days for my son, since his front-wheel drive Teana 2 is not the most the best remedy movement along the snow-covered hills of P-Kamchatsky. In the fall of 2014, I started a leisurely search. The emphasis in search was on the Prado and TLC 80s of the late 90s. Although the Kamchatka market has the highest density of jeeps per capita in the country, good car in a small region, it turned out to be another task ... Within the limits of the planned amount, there were copies "squeezed out" to zero. And the price for "live" ones started from 1 million rubles. (Yes! Do not be surprised! This is for almost twenty years old cars!) In addition, the complicated economic situation in November reduced the possibility of a successful purchase to almost nothing! Just at this time, I came across an article from the magazine "Behind the wheel" about the restyling of the car "UAZ Patriot". After reading reviews on the Internet, I realized that by the manufacturer's efforts the car was almost cured of serious ailments, leaving, however, a bunch of "childhood" illnesses!

I will say right away: of course there were fears, but I was not very afraid to buy a Russian car. From my own experience, I know that an almost nameless ATV from the Rybinsk plant (after skillfully performed after-sales preparation) is capable of delivering less problems in two years of tough operation than a branded Kawasaki in six months. In addition, a huge number of "Pariots" on the roads indirectly indicated that the car in the region is popular, despite being spoiled by reliable Japanese.

In general, I went to meet him at a car dealership. There were still pre-styling cars there, but they were all already sold. The manager offered a choice of only two free (already restyled) cars at a price of 815 thousand rubles, but with delivery in January 2015. Everything, in connection with the beginning of the excitement, has already been bought out. After sitting in the car, looking into all the cracks, he noted for himself that the impression was better than expected. Sit comfortably and spaciously. The design is generally competent. He did not dare to conclude an agreement right away, but called his son so that he would also come and see if, with his tall stature, it would be convenient for him to manage the Patriot. When the next day I arrived at the salon with the money, all the cars had already been sold, and the next delivery was expected in March-April at an unknown price so far. That's how I ended up, in the blink of an eye, managed to lose several tens of thousands of rubles ...

The manager called a couple of weeks later and made me happy with the news that you can come to make an advance payment for the car if I agree to pay for it ... 870 thousand! They promised to release it in February and deliver it to Kamchatka in April. Since the deferred amount, in dollar terms, had already dropped below the plinth by that time, in mid-December, cursing, I went and signed a contract for a petrol, yellow-silver Patrick in the "Limited" configuration. For the remaining pennies, even at the old prices, I bought a Come Up 12000 winch and Nokian Hakkapelitta LT 265 / 75-16 studded tires on R16 disks with ET 15 offset. So strangely, I have never completed my cars before - a year before possible use having acquired dopas for a car that does not exist in nature)))

Months of waiting flew by… In the evenings I was poking around on the Internet, smoking the UAZ forums.

I'll start with the look.

Exterior: (my score is 4 points on a five-point system).

As they say, tastes differ, but its appearance I like, like the overwhelming majority, the moss of my acquaintances. In a word - a classic that never gets old! The view is spoiled only by disproportionately small wheels. A comfortable wide footrest (more comfortable than Pajero's) allows you to stand up with your entire foot. Although I would have preferred the pre-styling version of the footpegs (it was possible to back up behind them in the mud). The quality of the painting is, to put it mildly, lousy! A clean car in the sun, if you look closely, looks spotty. This problem is only with silver cars and is seen not only on my copy. Rather, the problem is in low-quality painting equipment or in the curvature of factory painters. If you look at the light along the side, you can see that the entire tin is wavy. The lines of the body embossings are uneven and do not line up with the lines of the doors. The gaps (except for 4 doors) seem to be even. I draw a conclusion: You cannot take a car assembled after the New Year holidays! (the whole January the plant did not work and in February, the workers clearly left with a headache ...)

Interior: (solid four)

This is what I have a minimum of complaints about, because it is about the interior. It is really done quite well and with good materials(Of course, adjusted for the price category of the car!) The instrument panel and the front panel as a whole look quite modern and do not cause rejection. The seats are comfortable, with fairly dense padding, moderate lateral support and adjustable lumbar support (driver's). The lumbar support either does not work at all, or it works in such a way that I do not notice the difference by turning the wheel. Sitting with medium to tall height is comfortable. There is a lot of space. The ease of landing spoils the narrow doorway and the lack of additional handles on the A-pillars. Well, if you have to put up with the first inconvenience, then I have already solved the second problem. On disassembly, I bought used rear handles from Toyota Surf and installed them on the racks windshield... It has become more convenient to get into a rather tall car! Landing behind the wheel is high, so to speak "stool". I could not find a comfortable steering position for me. The steering wheel is adjustable in tilt angle in a fairly wide range, but this is not enough. On departure, the steering wheel is not regulated! If I move forward, so that it would be convenient to press the pedals, the steering wheel is too close. I had to fold back a little back of the seat in the "passenger" manner. Personally, though, I would have preferred a more vertical fit. Visibility forward and to the sides is excellent! Backward visibility is worse here, but the rear view camera helps out. Moving back, I find the royal space for rear passengers... There is simply an indecent amount of space (in Padzherik it is closer and the feet do not climb under the seat). True, the fit again suffers from the lack of additional handles. Over time, I will deliver from Prado or eighties. The ride comfort in the back seat, in contrast to the spaciousness, is far from royal. Affected by the presence of a rather shaking spring suspension. In the front seats you feel more comfortable and as a passenger you quite feel like in a foreign car. The rear seats recline forward, but, alas, there is no flat area in the luggage compartment! To top it off, with the rear seats folded down, it is difficult to close the side doors. The door trim rests against the folded back backrest - a clear ergonomic miscalculation! Under the seat there are small boxes for small things. The trunk is spacious and comfortable.

Engine: (Four Plus)

I will not evaluate the potential reliability - time will tell! Despite its 128 liters. with. the engine is quite good luck. In the city, it allows you to quite confidently start from traffic lights and has good elasticity. You don't have to switch often. Confident acceleration starts after 1600-1800 rpm. On the track, there is still a little lack of relics. The three-liter Padzherik carries more vigorously, which is natural!

Checkpoint (Four)

The switches are pretty crisp. The picture is slightly spoiled by the location of the shift lever: When you turn on the third gear, your fingers stick to the climate panel, and when you turn on the fifth gear, you have to fully extend your hand. The gear ratio of the fourth and fifth gear does not differ much. When driving over 100 km / h, you always want to turn on the sixth gear, which is not there.

Controllability: (Three points).

Whatever the advertisement says, but, in my opinion, driving a UAZ in the city is a dubious pleasure. The steering wheel is heavy. The handbrake is tight. The turning radius is more than expected. At first, parking in the evenings in the cramped courtyard, after Pajero the first time I could not park in the right place. But the most unpleasant sensations are given by driving on the highway. The car prowls. At speed, it is simply dangerous to go around a sudden obstacle! The Patriot does not want to return to the original trajectory. You get the impression that you have a heavy trailer hanging on your tail. Perhaps, after checking the vanishing angles, the situation can be improved, but it will probably not be possible to completely get rid of the shortcomings! The only positive thing I can say is that you get used to the features of management very quickly and begin to take it for granted.

There is nothing special to say about the brakes. At least bad ...

Comfort: (Four minus)

In terms of ride comfort, the rear leaf spring suspension is not conducive to comfortable travel. The goat effect and all that ... The contents of the trunk, when moving the "speed bumps", tends to jump up to the ceiling. Pits and potholes are quite comfortable. On the crossroads, I have not tested it yet, but I am afraid that on serious off-road it will shake my whole soul out of me ... Otherwise, I will have to redo the spring suspension for a spring suspension (which is clearly not part of my plans so far).

As for the salon attributes to ensure comfort, everything is quite normal here. The air conditioner works, the windows function. Multimedia center with a rear view camera, bluetooth and navigation "Navitell". It is annoying that it must be remembered to turn it off and on, since there is no key position in the ACC in the ignition lock. The sound of the head, however, I did not like. There are no low frequencies at all. The speakers in the doors are very tiny. But changing them to good ones will simply not work, since the axis of the speakers does not coincide with the axis of the grill in the door trim. We'll have to get confused with the manufacture of podiums, or the displacement of the speakers in the door with all the ensuing difficulties ...

Noise isolation suited me. At speed, you can talk without raising your voice. It seemed to me that the main noise comes from the motor and exhaust system from the trunk side.

Another awesome little thing is in Patrick's arsenal, which you will not find in every foreign car! This is glass with heating filaments over the entire area. Very convenient even in summer! Pajero nervously smokes on the sidelines ...

Fuel consumption: (???)

I confess I did not make exact measurements! The first hundreds of kilometers, Patrick consumed gasoline in some indecent quantities! Now everything seems to be normalized and subjectively, fuel consumption does not differ from Padzherik. Separately, I would like to say about the tanks: there are two (not lockable) small volumes. Until I started refueling myself, I didn’t feel how inconvenient it was. Instead of filling up with 2.5-3 thousands at once, you have to visit the gas station twice as often, or drag the hose from side to side. Moreover, compassionate neighbors at the gas station tell you smiling: "You have a tank on the other side!"

Production culture, jambs and malfunctions: (Two points)

This is the Patriot's Achilles heel! Well, perhaps I'll start in order: The Jackie Chan light came on for the first time after a couple of kilometers after leaving the car dealership. A day later, it was joined by a “Check 4wd” light. After a couple of days, I noticed that fuel was not being pumped from the left tank to the right one. I drove my son to the officials. They extinguished only the first, since the second went out on its own. Servicemen chased something about the rich mixture. The fuel pumping was also repaired. Since then “Check 4wd” has been on and off several times, but it has not yet been possible to catch this moment for diagnostics!

A little later, it began to wedge the passenger door when opening - closing. I looked at the castle, and there was peeled paint. It turns out that on the pillar, the central bolt securing the lock bracket was unscrewed. I started checking all the doors - all the bolts were not tightened!

Climbed under the car with the keys - there are all the rules!

After some time, a creak appeared in the rear of the cabin, which began to progress rapidly. The car began to creak like an unlubricated cart, and so much that it was a shame to drive up to the house. Since the officials are not very close to me, I climbed to look for the source of the squeak myself. And along the way I found another blooper! I am surprised that I did not immediately notice that the rear door support plate is not held on two bolts as it should, but on one. Moreover, it is clearly installed with a bias. I unscrewed this bolt, and there ... WOW! In the second hole there is a fragment of either a tap or a drill! Most likely, the plate did not fit into its place, and the "caring" hand of the Ulyanovsk worker, aligned this place with a sledgehammer! So much so that the metal was deformed, and all the paint in the area cracked. At the present time, this place is already covered with rust. Back to the creak: here the forum of the site http://uazpatriot.ru helped me. The reason is the creak of the breakaway stops. Unscrewed to see. Indeed, it rubs metal on metal. The riveting to which the rubber stop is riveted, for some reason ??? sticks out more gum. He grinded it down with a grinder, glued it with rubber - only twenty minutes and the squeak was gone.

The car, despite the crude design, is still worth the money. The closest brand competitor (in my opinion, this is “MMC Pajero sport”) Costs twice as much. But be prepared to roll up your sleeves and do something yourself sometimes. I strongly advise against white collars and lazy people to buy!

My future plans:

Snorkel and fender came. One of these days I will install.

Also in more distant plans:

1. Replacement of bumpers with power ones, since the current shells are no good.

2. Replacement of the main pairs from 4.2 to 4.6.

3. Installing a lock in the rear axle.

4. Winch (already in stock, but waiting for item 1)

5. Installation of hand-out protection.

6. Body lift 5 cm.

7.33 wheels (a set of tires Federal Kuragiya MT has already been purchased)

8. Re-flashing the brains.

Phew! Perhaps it's time to finish.

Good luck on the road!

In October 2014, a presentation of the UAZ Patriot 2015 model year took place, in a new body, it is also worth noting that a video test drive of the car is already available on the Internet. The history of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began during the Second World War, when all-passable cars were needed for the Russian army.

The history of the creation of UAZ

After the end of hostilities, the car began to enjoy an unprecedented demand, because there was simply no alternative to it. These were the only off-road vehicles on the territory of the USSR. Of course, now the market is full of an abundance of crossovers, but domestic ones still remain in the top sales, due to their low cost, maintainability and excellent cross-country ability.

UAZ Patriot has improved production, so now the front and rear glass the machines will be glued at the factory and not put on a rubber seal as in previous models. The number of body welding elements will also decrease due to the launch of the newest stamping and pressing production line.

And, introduced, German technologies of anti-corrosion metal treatment will certainly increase the characteristics of the body's wear resistance. Also in the very near future, manufacturers promise to install automatic transmission... In the meantime, the car is presented with a five-speed manual transmission. Still appeared new system primers, cataphoretic priming, designed to increase the wear resistance of metal for 10-12 years of service.

Exterior UAZ Patriot 2015 model year

The exterior of the car has significantly changed, simple straight lines are gone. Now, the UAZ Patriot looks like some Korean SUV more than itself. The body shape has become more streamlined. The front, massive, bumper is now attached to the body, and not to the frame, as it was in the last series of cars.

For production, this, of course, is better, but for a domestic driver, who is accustomed to overcome any obstacles on the Patriot, this is a minus. Now you can't trim the bumper with an ordinary sledgehammer.

The very same radiator grille, consisting of three horizontal stripes twisted to the top, as if enveloping the front of the car. The front, massive bumper has integrated fog lamps. The passenger footpegs are built into specially made niches, which is very practical for off-road driving.

Salon interior

The interior of the salon has become much more pleasant and comfortable for a person. The level of upholstery and plastic has increased, as well as the build quality. A shortened gear lever appeared, which made it more convenient for the driver to use, the rear row of seats was shifted, which allows the front seats to be folded down into a practically recumbent position. It is now possible to adjust the seat adjustment without leaving the car interior, the seats have become more ergonomic, the lateral support on the seats has been significantly improved.

Moreover, the already conducted test drives of the Patriot, model of 2015, in an updated body, prove that the SUV has not lost its previous cross-country ability at all, but, on the contrary, only added them.

With effective technique. This is UAZ Patriot, which was completely renewed in 2015. The most interesting car with productive four-wheel drive among the domestic transport has become completely different, changed its appearance and received the brightness of the design. Many people compare new model with Pajero Sport and talk about the benefits of buying a Russian car. True, UAZ Patriot 2015 cannot yet boast of completely changed equipment. To do this, the manufacturer would have to greatly increase the price, which would reduce the popularity of the model in the domestic market.

Beautiful photos and exciting videos of the car from the first owners perfectly convey the features of the new transport. Most best UAZ Among all the versions that the world has seen before, the Patriot has received many complete sets, has become more self-confident, and the updated appearance will clearly be able to attract more buyers. The question of how much a car costs should now be considered carefully, because the difference in price for representatives of the 2015 model year is really large in different trim levels. Photos alone can convince you that the model has grown a lot and will gain more popularity in the market.

Beautiful photos - the main changes in appearance in the 2015 model year

A Russian jeep, which is efficient in all respects, can get significantly more customers if it changes its appearance. This is exactly what the fans of efficient SUVs said about the UAZ Patriot a year earlier. Manufacturers listened to customers and created a visual hybrid between Pajero Sport and the previous generation UAZ Patriot. The updated SUV turned out to be spectacular, stylish and modern. The review of the photo of the car is a genuine pleasure and arouses pride in the domestic manufacturer. On branded and amateur photos, you can see the following visual differences between the updated version and the old one:

• in different trim levels the car may look slightly different, Unlimited offers a lot of chrome, Limited - excellent wheels;
• most expensive version Expedition has an expensive interior decoration and serious functional improvements;
• the jeep changed the front end, acquired new headlights, increased its visual value and status;
• the owners' feedback on the exterior has completely changed as soon as the world saw the photo of the SUV of the current model year;
• the manufacturer slightly changed the dimensions, which affected the greatness of the car and the sensations from the review advertising photos;
• rough male body parts made the UAZ Patriot 2015 more modern, relevant and aggressive.

The SUV kicked off the current model year with a global facelift. Beautiful photos on the official website fully reflect the features of the real appearance of the jeep. It is worth noting that the UAZ Patriot received not only a design update, the quality of exterior parts also changed for the better. The interior has received a high-quality finish, which has increased the potential value of the vehicle. The Expedition version with a ladder at the stern and a trunk on the roof of the car looks the most expressive.

Technical characteristics and other features of the Russian jeep

This is a real SUV in a new guise, which also changed several important technical details. V technical characteristics oh, and in terms of power, the owners' reviews about the UAZ Patriot have always been dubious. But now there is a diesel engine under the hood, and the concern plans to create a model of a jeep with a machine gun. Optimized fuel consumption, which previously interfered with the enjoyment of driving an SUV. Today the jeep is presented in salons with the following technical characteristics:

• Gas engine for the current model year - a 2.7-liter Russian engine with a potential of 128 horsepower;
• the diesel is represented by a 2.2-liter unit with a capacity of 112 horses - the engine is also Russian-made;
• manual transmission with 5 steps, automatic transmission is not yet provided, but in the next model year may appear;
• a 2-speed transfer case complements the highly efficient 4WD capability;
• about the technical characteristics of the new car appeared really positive reviews owners, even if there are not many changes;
• Changing control and improving the quality of vehicle controls greatly affects the driving experience.

Many people say that a change in appearance is not enough to sell a car well. But this model year for UAZ Patriot 2015 is not only about changing the appearance. The crash test showed reliable protection for the driver, a review of the prices of competitors proves that the company has kept a good value for the jeep.

Summing up

Beautiful photos, low fuel consumption and completely changed behavior made the new UAZ Patriot 2015 a real surprise for Russian buyers. The machine offers many practical and high-quality solutions, the plant has worked on the elimination of old childhood diseases of transport. As a result, the owners' reviews became favorable, the SUV earned great enthusiastic emotions from buyers.

In terms of technical characteristics, there are much fewer changes, but they are also present. Many positive aspects can be found in the design of UAZ Patriot 2015, including the highest quality, excellent thoughtfulness of each unit and complete readiness for operation in Russian conditions... Such a jeep will become a decoration of your garage.

The popular SUV UAZ Patriot received an upgrade in 2015, after which the sales of this car almost doubled. Not only the appearance of the popular SUV has changed, but also the interior interior. What exactly is the updated UAZ Patriot, we will consider further.

The new SUV UAZ Patriot is a car that combines high cross-country ability with comfort. The new UAZ Patriot 2015 is a true proof of this. Externally, the design on the new car has acquired a new V-shaped grille. Thanks to such a lattice domestic UAZ became like a modern foreign car.

The optics of the car has also changed, both front and rear. The headlights look chic, and the LED strip emphasizes the dimensions of the car, both in the daytime and in the dark. Rear lights on the new Patriot they have a streamlined shape, smoothly transitioning to the side of the body. Front plastic bumper on the new UAZ, it is harmoniously complemented by round-shaped fog lamps with yellow halogen light.

On the tailgate, the same spare wheel remains, but now in an updated cover, more pleasant in appearance.

Side mirrors on the doors received a transformation function, that is, they can be folded when the car is parked. Rear suspension equipped with a stabilizer bar, which makes it possible to maneuver on the road. Among the additions, it is important to include the new light-alloy wheels with a diameter of both R16 and R18.

After restyling in 2015, the new UAZ Patriot looked like a modern foreign jeep. If it were not for the badge on the grill, then, probably, it would be difficult for a foreigner to determine this model car. This configuration of an SUV is closer to its operation in urban areas, although all technical specifications cross-country ability remained the same and even improved.

It is also striking that the manufacturers of the Ulyanovsk plant managed to avoid unnecessary gaps between the bumper and the body of the SUV, as was the case with the pre-styling versions. The gaps were hidden by changing the bumper attachment points on the new Patriot, which is fixed directly to the body, and not to the car frame. The equipment of the UAZ Patriot SUV with a comfortable footboard makes it possible to board passengers without the possibility of injuring themselves. The rear bumper remains the same inconspicuous, but thanks to the updated spare wheel cover, it is not conspicuous and looks simple and compact.

The quality of the paintwork on the new SUV has improved significantly. In order to get as close as possible to foreign models, special equipment was purchased from Europe for painting cars of this brand. Now, at first glance, the SUV leaves an extremely pleasant impression, although if you look at the details in subtleties, you can notice the presence of gaps in the area of ​​the doorways. These gaps make it clear that, after all, the body is a creation of the domestic auto industry and the engineers of the Ulyanovsk plant were engaged in its production. An overview of the updates can be viewed in the video presented on this page:

An important point is the installation of glasses no longer on rubber seals, but through special gluing, which makes it possible to increase the level of sound and noise insulation of the passenger compartment. In addition, in winter, the interior of the car has become much warmer, since now there is no additional air supply to the passenger compartment from under the rubber glass seals. The pillars on the new Patriot, which connect the bodywork to the frame, received upgrades. Now, thanks to the rigid coupling, the car body does not experience vibrations, which gives more confidence in performing various kinds of maneuvers.

The dimensions of the Russian SUV in the updated version have practically not changed and are:

• length: 475 cm;
• width: 190 cm;
• height: 191 cm;
• weight: 2125 and 2165 kg for gasoline and diesel engines, respectively.

Salon characteristics

The 2015 UAZ Patriot SUV has also received an update of the interior. First of all, sitting behind the wheel, the updated instrument panel, which is characterized by greater information content, catches the eye. In the cabin, Korean seats were replaced with domestic ones. Domestic seats are characterized not only by the possibility of a wide range of position adjustment, but also by a thickened profile.

If you take a good look around, you will notice that the transmission lever has disappeared, which is not very convenient to control. The interior trim has changed and exclusively for the better. The changes may not be global, but it's nice when some of the shortcomings have been eliminated. For example, the instrument panel has changed, at the base of which the display is located on-board computer.

The on-board computer monitor is presented in the form of a 7-inch LCD monitor, at the bottom of which are the device control keys. Below the display, the keys for controlling the ventilation, heating and air conditioning system are elegantly located. The heating of the passenger compartment is carried out in a matter of minutes, since for this there are 4 modes of power of the heater and 2 stoves are installed.

At night, it is possible to illuminate qualitatively not only the roadway, but also the interior, which is ensured thanks to the modern LED lighting... The interior of the Patriot has become much more comfortable and now, after folding the backs of the rear seats, you can get a comfortable berth for two.

Due attention should be paid to the high-quality sound of music, which is ensured by the updated radio and stereo equipment. Rear seats were shifted 8 cm back to provide comfort for passengers on the back seat. In addition, the new the lineup Since 2015, Patriots have been equipped with a 12 Volt outlet in the trunk compartment, and when you connect a special inverter to it, you can get 220 Volts.

In the cabin, you can also see the new steering wheel, which has received a new skin, pleasant to touch with your hands. The steering wheel received a slight reconstruction and, unfortunately, the manufacturer did not equip it with an airbag. It is promised that airbags for the passenger and driver will be presented no earlier than in 2017. Therefore, the latest Patriot lineup is equipped with the simplest system safety, presented in the form of belts. If we compare the old steering wheel with the new one, then we can say that the new steering wheel is much more comfortable and massive. Driving with such a steering wheel is much easier and more enjoyable, since before that, the foam casing simply did not make it possible to hold it tightly in your hands. The steering wheel was thickened, so it is difficult to call it a steering wheel, but rather a pleasant and comfortable steering wheel. The news about the new UAZ Patriot 2015 is extremely positive, as the review shows that many flaws have been eliminated.

About technical parameters

We continue our review of the new 2015 Patriot and pay attention to technical issues. We have considered new body on an SUV, a salon, so it's time to find out what the Patriot is equipped with from the factory in terms of technical parameters.

The gasoline engine of the SUV has practically not been modernized, which cannot be said about the diesel engine. The volume of the diesel engine is 2.24 liters with a power of 113.5 horses. But even this power is enough to get out of an impenetrable swamp up to 50 cm deep.

Acceleration to 100 km / h is carried out in 22 seconds for a diesel engine and 20 seconds for a gasoline engine. Petrol engine has 128 horsepower, but it is inferior to diesel in terms of torque. Both types of cars are equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox from Daimos. Of course, the gasoline engine from the Zavolzhsky plant ZMZ-409 is rather weak for such a unit, so I would like something more powerful, but, unfortunately, the engineers do not plan to consider this issue yet. Therefore, if it is necessary to increase the power, then the additional installation of the turbine (described in detail here) or the replacement of the motor can help. All-wheel drive of the crook is ensured by connecting front axle... As for the axles, the shafts that transmit torque from the transfer case to the axles are now maintenance-free. That is, if earlier cardan shafts were subject to lubrication every 10,000 kilometers, now this need has been rejected.

An overview of the new Patriot reveals that the car continues to come in three variations: Classic, Comfort and Limited. V basic configuration available: wheels made of steel with a diameter of R16, immobilizer, electric heated seats and halogen optics. The top version of the Patriot has 18-inch alloy wheels and many other additions. All these additions result in a tidy sum for the car, which is 930,000 rubles, but the base one is much cheaper and is 750,000 rubles.

Summing up, it is important to note that the 2015 UAZ Patriot looks like a foreign jeep, only with the UAZ emblem. This car shows excellent results, both on the road surface and off-road, coping with any obstacle and creating maximum comfort in the cabin.
