They were shared by the Izvestia newspaper, the correspondent of which managed to conduct a short test drive of the prototype of the new version of the SUV. This is a modification with a bunch of a Chinese JAC turbodiesel with a volume of 2.0 liters produced in Russia and a six -speed manual gearbox production of the Zavolzhsky motor plant (ZMZ). In UAZ itself, it is hoped that the diesel “patriot” will account for 15-20 percent of the sales of the model.
The author gives the power and torque of the new engine for the “patriot”: 136 horsepower and 320 nm. For comparison: on commercial Sollers models, he gives out 130 forces. Of the features, he mentions a “short” first gear calculated for trucks with full load, and notes that a lighter SUV with such a ligament seems “too sharp”. It does not exclude that the characteristics of the power unit can still be adjusted.
The Director General of UAZ appreciated the Sales Plan of the Dirus and Patriot in Russia, sales of new UAZ cars collapsed in Russia.
With the launch of the diesel modification “Patriot” will acquire a new multimedia system and an electronic control unit with a distribution box, the optics will be LED. During the planned restyling, the design of the exterior and interior will change. There is no information about the cost of an SUV with a Chinese turbodiesel yet, but UAZ states that they will set such a price that it has 15-20 percent in the total sales.
Currently, UAZ Patriot is offered with a non -alternative gasoline engine 2.7, which outstand 150 forces, combined with a five -stage “mechanics”. The box was recently improved: they reduced the inner pressure, eliminated oil leaks and, in general, increased reliability. The advanced “mechanics” are intended to be embedded in production at the beginning of this year.
