The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is preparing a new version of the SUV with a two -liter fuel unit from the Chinese JAC and a six -speed manual gearbox, which is produced in Russia at the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant (ZMZ). Such a “patriot” debuts until the end of this year, said UAZ Director General Alexei Spirin in an interview with Vesti Ulyanovsk.
In April, the 2.0 diesel engine from the Eastern Partner and the six -speed “mechanics” made a “pro” truck, Spirin recalled. “By the end of this year, we plan to introduce them to the conveyor and for UAZ Patriot,” the head of the car factory added.
Profi was equipped with a turbocharged diesel engine, developing 136 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque. Manual transmission, which makes it a pair, is also of Chinese origin and is made on ZMZ under a license.

In addition to the new motor, the Patriot will receive a new multimedia system and an electronic control unit with a hand -box. The optics of the SUV will be LED. In addition, UAZ will update the exterior and interior of the model. It is expected that the diesel version will account for 15 to 20 percent of the sales of the Patriot. In the meantime, the car is equipped with a 2.7 -capacity of 150 forces in a bunch with a five -stage “mechanics” with a non -alternative gasoline engine.
The “atmospheric”, which is put on the “patriot”, “pickup”, “pros” and “Hunter”, is modernized in the fall, promised on UAZ. Improving the unit “will radically increase the degree of tightness of the unit and a reserve of reliability.” Ulyanovsk people do not disclose details, but, according to some reports, we can talk about an increase in the number of mounting points around the perimeter of the valve cover and in the gaps between the openings of the candle decks.
