New UAZ: preparing sensation
During the presentation of updated UAZ Patriot, which we describe in detail tomorrow, representatives of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant suddenly spoke candidly about the future updates of the brand UAZ.
Perhaps the most important news: UAZ Hunter will be available in the future. In the near future no one is going to lay off the deserved SUV, but as soon as the interest from buyers for this model run out, it leaves the conveyor. In place of the Hunter come cheap version of the Patriot, with marketers consciously make so that consumers chose a more modern SUV. Now UAZ Hunter Korean Dymos transmission costs at least 430,000 rubles, UAZ Patriot with the same powertrain - 499 thousand. And the smaller the difference, the less likely the Russians will buy Hunters ...

For another veteran of Ulyanovsk, the so-called "loaf", too, is ready to be replaced. Remember the cute the trucks UAZ Cargo? In fact - this Patriot, the body is cut behind the front seats, and was attached to the back of the airborne platform. Such trucks were produced little, but soon resumed their production (according to some information, in the long and korotkobaznoy versions).
It Cargo to be an alternative to the ancient "tadpole". For the "wagon-pill" is not a substitute for, but uazovsky engineers prepared a half-measure - 5-seater version of the UAZ Cargo. The latter will build the following recipe: Model Pickup lengthened by 30 cm, and instead of the standard for the luggage compartment of a pickup assemble Flatbed. And 2- and 5-seater Cargo will be equipped with both gasoline and diesel engines.
With regard to the Patriot, its future is known until 2020 - then will be discontinued production of this model. In January 2014 the plant will earn a new line of cataphoresis priming. Now for the body painting used outdated "anaphoresis", and therefore the quality of the primer - at the level of 70-ies. In addition, the old technology priming does not allow to implement parts of galvanized steel ... But as soon as "cataphoresis" will be launched on the conveyor will be gradually implemented parts galvanized. By 2016 th has a purpose to produce only a fully galvanized body.
2014 planned implementation of the new wiring and is enhanced manageability Patriots and pickups. Complete restyling of these models will take place in August 2015 (ie, the machine will go on sale, most likely at the beginning of 2016): design of lighting changes, there will be new bumper ... And planned new family of engines! Already, with the support of ZMZ 'known European partner "(it seems that behind these words lies engineering firm AVL) develops 2, 0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that will produce no less than 150 hp power and 330 N • m of torque. Then disappear power supply system of the two fuel tanks, and the list of options appears automatic transmission.
Note that the Patriot will remain frame SUVs, although UAZ plans to release a new model with a monocoque body. Most likely, the novelty lies in the basis of SsangYong Actyon, but factory workers gently hinted that the Russian-Korean "Blood" will not compete with any Aktion or the Patriot, and will take its own niche. What - it is not very clear, although uazovtsy knows the details of the future project: the design of the first in the history of frameless UAZ is in full swing, and the fruits of this work we can see a year or two.
