UAZ Patriot: the set of trim levels has been revised. Available as an additional kit

UAZ Patriot - strong and reliable SUV, capable of overcoming even the most difficult obstacles. The car has excellent geometric cross-country ability. Ground clearance to the axle housing is 210 mm. The approach angle is 35 degrees, the departure angle is 30 degrees. The robust frame design ensures reliability in the most difficult off-road conditions, and the all-wheel drive system, rigidly connected using a reliable transfer case with gear ratio 2,542. It is complemented by a differential lock rear axle With electronically controlled produced by the American company Eaton.

This is one of the most richly equipped cars Russian production. There was room on board the SUV for the following advanced electronic systems: anti-lock braking braking system(ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA), Hill Start Assist hill climbing (HHC). The car is also equipped with a rear view camera built into the door handle. luggage compartment, and rear parking sensors.

Despite all its external brutality, this SUV turns out to be a very comfortable and well-equipped car. Yes, the salon has modern system climate control and a multimedia system with a seven-inch color touch screen and six speakers. Front and rear seats received a heating function, just like steering wheel with leather trim. The driver's seat can be adjusted in height and lumbar support can be adjusted. In addition, there is a cooled glove box, cruise control with speed limiter and steering wheel controls and many other useful options.

It is known that in 2020, UAZ, also known as the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, is preparing to release a promising and in many ways long-awaited new product, this is new, it will have so many updates that have not been seen since the start of production of this model, i.e. since 2005. Yes, yes, don’t be surprised, the Ulyanovsk SUV has been in production for 12 years. During this time, the car plant engineers who worked on the project have a lot to remember, both good and bad. Auto Patriot has always been plagued by high ups and unfortunate downs.

Since this utilitarian UAZ is important for domestic jeepers, we decided to collect all the information available on the RuNet about the upcoming changes in the new product, which we will see in 2020.

UAZ is preparing a large-scale improvement of the model.

Safety of the new UAZ Patriot (frame)

Many people know the proverb that the archaic design of an SUV practically does not withstand any criticism in terms of its safety. Previous crash tests of the latest version this model (with an improved frame) clearly showed this:

The new generation should finally receive a frame modeled using modern technologies with an energy-absorbing “accordion”, which upon impact will fold as expected, and not as before, when pieces of the floor in the cabin were broken off.

Suspension UAZ Patriot

Along with the frame, the suspension should also improve. The changes, as engineers from Ulyanovsk threaten, should be significant and practically repeat everything that auto designers did when they installed independent suspension on the new generation Gelendvagen. At the front, presumably, there will be a double-wishbone suspension with MacPherson struts, and at the rear, instead of springs, the car’s axle will be suspended on springs.

By 2020, according to rumors, the model will receive rack and pinion steering. Now the UAZ uses the same outdated worm gear as it did a thousand years ago. All this should at least somehow improve the handling of this real SUV.

The engines of the new Patriot will become more powerful

An old friend will soon appear under the hood of the new UAZ, reshaped to new way modernized gasoline atmospheric engine ZMZ-409. Power unit will become more powerful (presumably due to changes in the compression ratio and valve timing) and increase output to 150 hp. (now it develops 135 horses with 217 Nm of torque).

Presumably by 2020, these SUVs will be equipped with several new gasoline turbo engines, the volume of which will be 2.3 and 2.5 liters, and their power will rise to 150 and 170 hp. respectively.

Automatic transmission on UAZ Patriot

Another innovative innovation for the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is an automatic transmission. Most likely it will be a classic six-speed hydro manual transmission transmissions come from China.

Manual transmission

However, cheaper versions of the Russian all-terrain vehicle will still have a manual transmission made in Korea, only this time it is planned to increase the number of speed stages to six.

The brakes will become disc brakes

Another logical car improvement that we will finally see on the Patriot is disc brakes on the rear wheels. However, as Russian automotive media suggest, they will be installed only on top versions of Patriot cars.

Of the upcoming car improvements in detail: the spare wheel from the fifth door will be moved to another place, most likely it will be hidden under the floor so that the door does not sag, the seals of the fifth door will be specifically improved, now there is a place under them back A lot of dust flies into the interior.

The on-board computer will also be improved, perhaps goodbye to the rigidly connected bridge (a very important change, but it has not yet been officially confirmed), and instead a security system will be installed that monitors markings and road signs.

As for the appearance of the car, in three years it should also change. How radical? Right now nothing is known about this, but it is certain that changes will take place.

For domestic auto industry The year was marked by the release of a restyled version of the SUV from UAZ. The car has acquired several modern touches, and the level of equipment and comfort of the car has increased. Photos of changes in the new body, main parameters and cost of the new UAZ Patriot 2020 are further in the review.

There were no fundamental changes to the exterior. The restyling affected the radiator: the type of grille depends on the configuration (three stripes or cells). The front bumper is made with crankcase protection, but the plastic does not provide much functionality. There are two niches for fog lights (see photo).

If you look at the car from the side, the enlarged wheel arches stand out. They were reshaped to allow the installation of new design 16-inch light alloy wheels, as well as 18-inch diamond-cut wheels. These wheels are available as an option, standard with the new 16-inch cast steel body. There are footrests for comfortable entry into the car. They are reinforced so they won't suffer from off-road driving.

Mirrors are already in basic configuration received electric drive and heating. At the rear there is a large trunk door with a handle at the bottom, on which the spare tire compartment is attached. The headlights are xenon, complemented by LED DRLs. At the rear, the optics are located on the sides of the tailgate (see video review). The color scheme consists of seven body shades: six metallic and one pure white.

As for the interior changes, the designers created a new panel (traditionally, plastic). Here you can see the central console, which houses a 7’ multimedia touchscreen and a climate control unit.

The steering wheel of the updated SUV is multifunctional three-spoke. Behind it is the instrument panel: a three-inch computer screen plus an analogue speedometer and tachometer.

The seats of the UAZ Patriot, as well as the upholstery, are made of new stitched textiles or perforated leather (optional). Heated seats in the car are only for the front seats; for the rear sofa the function is available optionally (winter package).

Safety is ensured by two airbags (driver and passenger). The trunk is 1130 liters; with the seats folded down, the cargo compartment measures 2214 liters.

UAZ Patriot 2020: characteristics

Now the crossover is available with only one engine, a 2.7-liter gasoline engine that complies with Euro 5. The main update is that this year the plant abandoned the use of two gas tanks, combining them with one plastic container of 68 liters. This affected the ground clearance: 210 mm trims the one sticking out at the bottom fuel tank. The remaining dimensions have not changed.

Rear disc brakes will replace drum brakes (optional). The crossover suspension is fully dependent, and a stabilizer bar is installed.

UAZ Patriot 2020 with a new 170 l engine

Towards the end of 2020, a version of the UAZ Patriot may appear with a more powerful new engine of 170 hp. Ready option no, but ZMZ + FEV Motorentechnik engineers from Germany are carrying out new developments to improve performance characteristics. The basis is a 2.3 liter engine with a timing chain drive. The new engine is announced with a turbine, gas distribution system and the following indicators: power 170 hp, torque 300 N/m (at 2300 rpm). It will comply with Euro-6 standards, so you can forget about 92-octane gasoline. It will most likely be possible to buy such an SUV by 2020.

UAZ Patriot 2020 with 150 l engine

Simultaneously with the unit described above, the manufacturers are going to supply the engine from the Profi truck. This will be another modernization of the ZMZ-409 with a volume of 2.3 liters. Basic technical parameters will be 150 hp, torque 235 Nm (at 2600 rpm).

The main news will be a gas-powered variation. The characteristics of the propane-butane unit will drop slightly: 143 hp. at 227 N/m of torque.

UAZ Patriot 2021 with Iveco diesel engine

In 2008-2011, the SUV was equipped with an Iveco engine (diesel F1A) 2.3 l, 113 hp. This engine is currently not available because the Sollers group and Fiat have ended their cooperation. As for the diesel engine for the Patriot, engineers have not yet decided when the car will be released, it is unknown. Let us remind you that cars up to 2017 were equipped with a diesel engine. at the moment it is only available used.

UAZ Patriot 2020: owner reviews

Andrey, 56 years old

I bought my first car in 2017, decided to upgrade it, and gave it to my son. I watched the video and signed up for the test. I took the same brand new one, in fully equipped. For us, going fishing is the best thing - it’s not a mess, and it’s great to ride off-road. True, my son installed HBO in the old one and ruined it with the body kit. He says gas is more economical.

Leonid, 42 years old

As soon as it was announced new body, began to think about buying. I looked at the crash test, read the reviews - it seemed okay, so I placed an order. You can go hunting with men normally, and in the city he works in the pits. I recently went to Perm and back, but didn’t get anything back. I’ll probably buy one for my wife too, so that it can withstand our roads.

Alexander, 46 years old

I've been thinking about a car since 2018. I took it after test drive. Not a Grand Cherokee, of course, but not sad either. Factory spare parts are inexpensive, I’m already convinced. In the first week they hit me, I had to get a new wing, the optics were crumbled. I wouldn't change anything, at most I'd buy a leather interior. True, you should read the operating instructions for the audio system. Overall, I'm happy with the car.

Video UAZ Patriot 2021

UAZ Patriot– all-wheel drive frame SUV mid-size category, which combines brutal design, a high level of practicality and excellent off-road potential... Its main target audience– middle-aged and mature family men who live both in the city and outside it, but who have to periodically travel to poor rural dirt roads or off-road...

On October 12, 2016, at a special event in Moscow, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant showed the public once again the updated UAZ Patriot SUV, sales of which started a few days before its full debut. Then the modernization slightly affected the appearance, but significantly: it affected the interior, transformed the technical component and added a bunch of modern “chips” to the functionality.

But the Ulyanovsk residents, of course, did not stop there and in September 2018 again subjected their “brainchild” to noticeable “metamorphoses”: the car, again, had its exterior slightly corrected (limited to a modified rear bumper and new rims), and also made minor changes to the interior (adding handrails for the front and rear riders and improving sound insulation), but the equipment was “shooked up” thoroughly - they gave it a new 150-horsepower engine, modified the gearbox, installed a new clutch, changed front axle and upgraded the suspension...

At the end of August 2019, the all-terrain vehicle underwent another (“spotwise”, but significant) upgrade - the vehicle was finally equipped with an automatic hydromechanical six-speed Punch Powerglide 6L50 gearbox, supplied to the Ulyanovsk enterprise from the French Punch Powerglide plant.

Exterior

Externally, the UAZ Patriot 2017-2020 model year can be recognized by its fine-mesh radiator grille with a large brand logo and chrome trim, and the missing fuel hatch on the left side. Such tricks only slightly refreshed the appearance of the SUV, but overall it retained its brutal and monumental appearance.

Depending on the configuration, the length of the updated Patriot is 4750-4785 mm, and the height is 1910-2005 mm. The width of the car is 1900 mm (including mirrors - 2110 mm), and its wheelbase and clearance under the “belly” are 2760 mm and 210 mm, respectively.

Interior

In the interior of the UAZ Patriot, after modernization “by 2017,” it has changed dramatically, both in terms of design and in terms of the quality of the materials used.

A multifunctional three-spoke steering wheel with buttons, a clear “tidy” with white-moon backlighting and a center console imbued with minimalism with a 7-inch multimedia screen and single-zone “climate” - the front panel looks not only attractive, but also quite modern... However, in the basic version most of the “benefits of civilization” are missing.

In general, the car’s interior is made of inexpensive and hard plastics, and the seats are dressed in pleasant fabric (in “top” versions – in genuine leather).

The cargo-passenger characteristics of the Patriot for the 2017-2020 model year have not undergone any changes: the interior of the SUV is a real expanse for five adults, and its luggage compartment can accommodate from 650 to 2415 liters of luggage.

Specifications

The restyled UAZ Patriot is equipped with two four-cylinder gasoline engines working volume 2.7 liters each:

• By default, under the hood of the five-door is a “aspirated” ZMZ-40906 with distributed “power” and a 16-valve arrangement. Its performance is within 135 horsepower at 4600 rpm and 217 Nm of maximum torque at 3900 rpm.
• More “capable” versions are equipped with the ZMZ-409051 unit, which differs from its “younger brother” in new pistons, an increased compression ratio, valves with increased heat resistance, a double-row timing chain, a different exhaust manifold and a reinforced cylinder head. It generates 150 hp. at 5000 rpm and 235 Nm of torque at 2650 rpm.

By default, the engines are installed side by side with a five-speed manual transmission and a rigidly activated all-wheel drive(Part-Time) with two-stage transfer case, controlled electronically. An Eaton-branded locking rear differential is available as an option for the SUV, and the 150-horsepower version can be equipped with a 6-band hydromechanical automatic transmission for an additional fee.

Regardless of modification, maximum speed the car does not exceed 150 km/h, while “manual” versions require an average of 12.8 liters of fuel for every “hundred” of mileage in mixed mode, and “automatic” ones - 11.6 liters.

Design features

The modernized Patriot is still based on a frame chassis with dependent suspensions “in a circle”: a spring architecture is used at the front, and several longitudinal semi-elliptic springs at the rear.

The car boasts a rack and pinion steering mechanism (with a telescopic column that folds upon impact), equipped with a hydraulic booster, and its braking center is represented by front “pancakes” and rear “drums” with ABS, EBS and BA.

By default, the SUV is equipped with a single fuel tank with a capacity of 68 liters.

Options and prices

On the Russian market, the 2020 model year UAZ Patriot is offered in seven equipment options – “Classic Fleet”, “Classic”, “Optimum”, “Prestige”, “Premium”, “Maximum” and “Status”.

The five-door model in the basic configuration is equipped exclusively with a 135-horsepower engine and will cost from 809,900 rubles. Standardly, it has: one airbag, ABS, exterior mirrors with electric drive and heating, 16-inch steel wheels, athermal windows, power steering, on-board computer and electric windows on all doors.

All other options come only with a 150 hp engine, a new front axle and other modifications: for the “Classic” you will have to pay at least 830,900 rubles, for the “Optimum” with 6 automatic transmission they ask for at least 1,034,000 rubles, and the “top” » the “Status” package with the same automatic transmission will cost from 1,268,000 rubles.

The most sophisticated Patriot can boast of: two airbags, ESP, fog lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, cooled glove box, multifunction steering wheel, hill start assist system, single-zone climate control, media center with 7-inch screen, six-speaker audio system, rear view camera, cruise control, navigator, front and rear parking sensors, heated front seats and steering wheel, as well as other equipment.

The start of sales of the UAZ Patriot 2020 2021 SUV in Russian showrooms should be expected in August of this year. However, there is a high probability that the dates will be postponed to the end of autumn or even the beginning of winter. The reason is constant modifications and improvements to the car.

Chic look of the model

If we talk about specific transformations, then these can easily include a new car hood, an almost vertical windshield, as well as luxurious new optics. The original style is supported by graceful stampings on the hood and voluminous elements of the front bumper.

The new UAZ headlight units with built-in LED broken lines look luxurious and fashionable. The modernized front bumper of the car is now attached to the body itself, and not to the frame, as was before. The new UAZ radiator grille looks original with sharp corners and three transverse stripes.

From the side, the 2020 UAZ Patriot expresses greatness and masculinity. The completely straight line of the massive roof echoes the same window sill line. The area of ​​the side glazing simply exceeded all expectations. Now there are no problems with visibility.

Huge side mirrors on shortened pillars give the UAZ additional power and strength. They are equipped with turn signal strips and a folding function. The car's doorways are pleasingly wide, and the doors themselves close tightly, without much effort. I really liked the folding wide footrest, which, by the way, did not affect the ground clearance in any way.

UAZ test interior

The new body of the UAZ Patriot SUV 2020 2021 has undergone major changes. It received rigid supports that reduce the amplitude of vibrations, especially during sharp maneuvers. Thanks to the glued glazing, the car not only began to look stylish, but also improved its noise and heat insulation qualities.

From the rear, the SUV also looks solid and presentable. The huge, massive tailgate with a mounted spare wheel gives the car a formidable appearance. appearance. Rear visibility is in perfect order, since there is a large glass installed here, and the rear pillars are much narrower than their predecessor.

The dimensions of the new UAZ Patriot SUV 2020 2021 have remained virtually unchanged. The length of the car is 4750 mm, width 1900 mm, height 1910 mm. The ground clearance for a beginner is 210 mm.

Bright SUV interior

The UAZ also underwent big changes inside. The instrument panel has become more informative. She got a screen on-board computer and a wide flat visor. Immediately in front of it is a comfortable four-spoke steering wheel. In the top version it is multifunctional.

The pleasant green lighting of the instruments pleases the eye, creating a special, peaceful atmosphere in the cabin. The most honorable place is occupied by the luxurious, wide central console of the UAZ.


Looking at the photo of the updated interior of the UAZ Patriot 2020, you will notice that the usual arrangement of instruments on the console has changed. The upper part is represented by two vertical rectangles of deflectors, below which a large 7-inch touch display is installed. The U-shaped lower compartment contains buttons and climate control controls.

Between the front seats of the car there is a wide but comfortable tunnel, which traditionally contains the gearshift panel, as well as a padded armrest. The chairs themselves are well profiled, have a range of adjustments, comfortable headrests, and high-quality lumbar support.

We were a little disappointed by the car's finishing materials, which remained cheap. This is especially true for plastic, which creaks and eventually shows cracks. The rear sofa was moved back to the stern by 80 mm. Due to this, the free leg space has increased. It is also now possible to organize two sleeping places, since the backrests can be folded flush with the pillow.

Luggage compartment capacity remains the same. The volume is 700 liters. A new trunk curtain with rigid edging has appeared. The basic equipment of the new 2020 UAZ Patriot SUV model received:

• 16-inch steel wheels;
• halogen optics;
• fabric interior;
• athermal glazing;
• heated, electric side mirrors;
• electric windows on all doors;
• immobilizer

Modern technical characteristics

The painstaking work that was carried out in relation to the power equipment made it possible to improve technical specifications new version car Uaz Patriot 2020 2021. As a result, engine performance at low speeds has increased. Buyers will be offered a petrol and diesel engine option.

The indicators are not the best; on the contrary, they are disappointing. Why the car manufacturer has not improved fuel consumption and acceleration in any way remains a mystery. Besides, real indicators even a little higher. You can learn more about this from the video test drive of the new UAZ Patriot SUV 2020-2021.


Both engines are equipped with a 5-speed gearbox manual transmission. About the appearance automatic transmission you can only dream. The disappointment with the car's technical capabilities is partially compensated by its excellent off-road qualities, endurance, and reliable body.

Three configurations of the latest generation UAZ Patriot 2020-2021 will be available, at an affordable price for the base from 650,000 rubles. You can choose from the following versions: Classic, Comfort, Limited.

The Comfort version includes the following car options:

For all this they ask from 650 to 700,000 rubles. Maximum configuration has the following equipment:

• multimedia complex;
• rear view camera;
• chrome trim on the instrument panel;
• improved interior finishing;

The price of this version of the UAZ Patriot 2020-2021 will be approximately 830,000 rubles.

Popular SUV competitors

The new version of the UAZ Patriot 2020 2021 has enough competitors. For a comparative analysis, let’s take the Chevrolet Niva and Kia Sportage (we don’t). Both opponents are quite strong. Chevrolet has an impressive, beautiful body design, a high level of interior trim, and high-quality materials.

The car's dashboard is clear and convenient. So is the well-equipped driver's seat. The trunk volume, although less than that of the UAZ, still holds 620 liters of cargo. Unlike many rivals, the Chevrolet Niva has a powerful, durable engine. The car has high acceleration dynamics, excellent handling, and good noise insulation.

But at high speeds, the car has a habit of leaving the trajectory and rolling, especially on steep repeats. Due to its large, bulky dimensions, driving around the city is quite problematic. Narrow doorways make getting in and out difficult.

The presentable appearance of Kia looks solid, fashionable, and modern. The car interior is spacious, roomy, with well-thought-out equipment. One of the main advantages of the car is its comfortable suspension, which cannot be said about the restyled version of the 2020 UAZ Patriot.


The advantages include a clear, informative instrument panel, a solid set of modern options and systems, a wide range of engines, and the presence of an automatic transmission.

What the Kia lacks is some adjustments in the driver's seat. The interior has cheap finishing materials, hard plastic, and mediocre sound insulation. The car demonstrates sluggish acceleration dynamics, automatic transmission often malfunctions and breaks down. In addition, Kia has high fuel consumption.

Advantages and disadvantages of the car

Most owner reviews about the new UAZ Patriot 2020 2021 SUV are positive. The car is truly durable, reliable, and convenient for everyday use.

Its main advantages are:

• charismatic, modern exterior;
• spacious interior;
• good ergonomics;
• reliable, reinforced, safe new body of the 2020 UAZ Patriot SUV;
• good visibility;
• inexpensive price;
• good off-road qualities.
