As an alternative to the UAZ Patriot, you can consider the Foton Sauvana model. There are options for sale from 2016 to 2019, for which sellers ask from 900 thousand to 1.5 million rubles.
Foton says the model “replicates the design of the Toyota Fortuner.” The engine is a two-liter gasoline turbo engine, structurally reminiscent of the engine of commercial Volkswagen models. With a manual transmission, the unit produces 201 hp, and with an automatic transmission – 217.
Compared to the Patriot, the model stands out due to the presence of a 7-seater version and a progressive Borg Warner transmission: the latter distributes torque between the axles using a multi-plate clutch, but the front axle can also be rigidly connected.

Auto expert Vinogradov listed 19 cars for 1 million rubles, which are distinguished by a reliable automatic transmission. Classic hydromechanical automatic transmissions of these cars last 300 thousand kilometers or more.
