Looking at him, we should awaken a craving for the Russian expanses, love for Putin and pride in our people. But for some reason, tears come to your eyes not at all from its beauty ... What should make you buy THIS, in addition to the obligatory name - UAZ Patriot?
Exterior
The updated UAZ Patriot received a new front end. The headlights are now equipped with LED daytime running lights. running lights, and in all trim levels. The bumpers are now attached directly to the body. Accordingly, the giant gaps between the parts are gone.
Behind the updated UAZ Patriot makes a strange impression. Exhaust pipe remained in the same place, but why does the new bumper have recesses on the sides for the pipes? Are we getting a sporty version of the SUV? Who invented this !? At least the new lights look okay ...
Interior
The main innovation in the cabin is the touchscreen display on the control panel. It can be used to control the navigation and multimedia system. The image from the rear view camera is projected onto it. The dashboard has been updated, but, depending on the configuration, it looks different. The most presentable look, of course, is in the top version. There, devices will be with chrome rims.
Specifications
By power plants, the updated UAZ Patriot did not offer anything new. There are still two engines to choose from - a 2.7-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 128 Horse power and a 2.3-liter 118-horsepower diesel. It's time to put more powerful engines. There is no "machine" either, even in the list of options. A 5-speed manual transmission is used as a transmission. SUV got rear stabilizer lateral stability and maintenance-free propeller shafts with increased resource.
Prices and configuration
The updated UAZ Patriot has risen in price. The starting price of the model is 649,000 rubles (excluding the discount on disposal). The increase amounted to almost 50,000 rubles. The basic version Classic, to put it mildly, does not shine with a variety of equipment. Interesting, perhaps, is the power steering and power windows on all doors. And no air conditioning, no ABS. All this is available, starting with the Comfort configuration, which will cost at least 699,990. For a diesel engine, a surcharge of 70,000 rubles. The price of the top version can reach almost 820,000 rubles, which can make your head spin.
Usefulness
The usefulness is logical - details on the trim levels of the current UAZ Patriot and Pickup.
A few months ago, a presentation of the updated SUV took place UAZ Patriot 2014 model year. Statistics show that according to the results of 2012, the manufacturer managed to sell 27 thousand of these machines, and in 2013 this figure increased significantly. Today we will look at the features of a domestic off-road vehicle.
The body and exterior of the new UAZ Patriot
The novelty has received the same appearance as the previous version of the model. True, LEDs are now located in the daytime running lights. dimensions also remained unchanged: length - 4,700 mm, width - 2,100 mm (with outside mirrors), height - 1,910 mm, and the size of the wheelbase - 2,760 millimeters. The ground clearance of the new car is 210 mm, and the SUV can drive a ford with a maximum depth of 50 cm.
Separate body parts of the novelty were decided to be further strengthened. For example, the hood now weighs more because it uses a different metal. As a result of this solution, mechanical hinges began to be used instead of hydraulic bearings.
But inside the car, there have been many more updates. First of all, another headlining appeared, which became pleasant enough to the touch and does not sag. The front panel was modernized back in 2012, but now individual elements have been fitted better, and the plastic has also been updated. The handles above the doors have also undergone certain improvements. The length of the gearshift lever has been reduced, making it easier to use, and there is no more backlash.
It's time to move to the cargo compartment. Here another upholstery has appeared, there are no creaks and backlashes. The luggage compartment shelf has also been updated, but it is very difficult to adequately assess it. It is worth noting that in the trunk there is a cover of the equipment, which the model is equipped with. Lada Kalina... The volume of the cargo compartment has not changed, it is 960 liters, and if the rear backrests are folded down - 2300 liters.
Specifications
UAZ Patriot 2014 cannot boast of a new range of engines. Buyers, as before, are offered only one gasoline unit and one diesel. A 2.7-liter petrol "four" with a capacity of 218 "horses" is used as a base. This motor shows good results off-road, but it is not suitable for driving on trails. And the top speed of the SUV is only 150 km / h.
- one of the pressing questions for any motorist. In the new UAZ Patriot 2014, the consumption is about 11.5 liters per 100 kilometers (official data at a speed of 90 km / h). But off-road, an SUV can consume as much as 20 liters, so the car received two gas tanks at once, the total volume of which reaches 72 liters.
The 2.2-liter diesel engine has a capacity of 113.5 forces. This version also does not have outstanding qualities on the track. In addition, the "maximum speed" for the diesel modification of the Patriot is only 135 km / h, so when choosing such a car, you should prepare in advance for problematic overtaking. True, there is also a positive side - the diesel SUV consumes only 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
Both the diesel and gasoline engines of the UAZ Patriot 2014 are paired exclusively with a five-speed "handle".
Features of the new "hand-out" SUV
The domestic off-road vehicle received a transfer case manufactured by Huyndai-Dymos with an ECU, which is manufactured in South Korea. As a result of its installation, it was necessary to make adjustments to the layout of the tunnel in the front of the car. Previously, control was carried out using a special handle, but now a washer is used for this, using which you can easily and quickly select the optimal operating mode. At the same time, the front axle with a rigid connection in the car remained the same.
The comfort control knob allows you to select one of the following transmission modes:
- 2H - rear wheel drive;
- 4H - all driving wheels;
- 4L - 4 driving wheels with low gears.
All-wheel drive can be engaged at speeds up to 60 km / h, however, to select a lower range of speeds, you need to stop the car, depress the clutch pedal as much as possible, pause for a few seconds and only then select the extreme right position of the handle. The corresponding indicator appeared, indicating the active mode of operation of the transmission.
The installation of this distributor had a positive effect on the traction performance of the car. The gear ratio is 2.56, although earlier this figure was only 1.94. In the case of choosing lower gears, the SUV can easily drive up a slippery hill and overcome even the most difficult off-road.
The cross member of the frame also underwent some changes as a result of the installation of a new RCP, which also applies to the rear cardan. In addition, the cables hand brake directly attached to the rear brake drums.
The control buttons for the exterior mirrors and power windows are now located on the armrest of the driver's door. And the front passenger can also operate the power window using a button on the door.
The chassis of the novelty has hardly changed. At the front there is a dependent-type spring suspension, and at the rear there is a dependent suspension with a pair of semi-elliptical longitudinal small-leaf springs. The handbrake drive also works differently. Before that, the propeller shaft was locked, and now the rear axle wheels are locked.
The brake system has not been updated: there are disc brakes, and on the rear wheels - drum mechanisms. All versions of the UAZ Patriot 2014 model year are available with hydraulic power steering.

Test drive UAZ Patriot 2014
New UAZ Patriot 2014 model year at the beginning of August 2013 left the assembly line Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, 6 August the first copy is released modernized car... In our review, we will tell you in detail what is the difference between and the modernized UAZ Patriot SUV in 2014, show a photo and indicate what are specifications and the price of the updated car.
Convenient control handle with three transmission modes: 2H - rear drive, 4H - four-wheel drive and 4L - four-wheel drive and a low range of gears. Four-wheel drive can be engaged at a speed of up to 60 km / h, but to engage low gears, you will have to stop, fully depress the clutch pedal, wait 3-5 seconds and only then move the control handle to the extreme right position. It's nice that the selected transmission mode is displayed on the dashboard as a hint.
New korean transfer case gear significantly improved traction characteristics of the Russian SUV, the lowering gear ratio is now 2.56 (on SUVs with a domestic razdatka 1.94). Car with activated mode downshifts literally idle engine climbs to the top of a slippery hill and allows you to move more confidently on difficult terrain.
The installation of the RCP from Dymos on the UAZ Patriot in 2014 entailed a change in the frame cross member, the rear universal joint changed its dimensions and lost the intermediate support. The design of the handbrake drive has also changed, now the parking brake cables are attached directly to the brake drums of the rear wheels.
The new transfer case made it necessary to significantly improve the ergonomics of the arrangement of the controls. The control unit for power windows and rear-view mirrors has moved to the armrest of the driver's door. For the front passenger, the glass electric drive button is also registered on the armrest.
The materials for finishing the seats have become of higher quality, options in the face of heating have become available windshield, heated front seats and a separate heater for those sitting in the back. Inside, the SUV has become much more comfortable, and most importantly, quieter. The Korean handout does not irritate the driver and passengers with howling, hum and rattling of levers. When connected front axle and activation of the downshift in the cabin is quiet, and you can only find out about the inclusion by the indication on the dashboard.
At the beginning of the review, we said that updated UAZ The 2014 Patriot cannot be distinguished externally from the 2013 model, it is not entirely true. New body UAZ Patriot 2014 sports headlights with LED daytime running lights.
It can be safely stated that the current restyling (new RCP with electronic control, improved ergonomics) and updates carried out at the end of 2012 (installation of a modern soft-touch instrument panel, new door and ceiling upholstery, high quality new system heating, ventilation and air conditioning, an advanced multimedia system with hands free) made it possible to raise the UAZ Patriot 2014 to a higher quality and higher level, while maintaining the high off-road potential of the Russian car.
In October 2014, the long-awaited event took place - the first restyled serial UAZ Patriot 2014 was assembled on the conveyor of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant.
This new model features a stylish design and a wide range of comfort options to satisfy the widest circle of potential buyers.
No other presentation of a product from the Russian automotive industry has been held with such anticipation. The new UAZ Patriot 2014 aroused tremendous interest not only among fans of this type of cars, capable of driving on the most difficult off-road and at the same time unpretentious in maintenance, but also among the press, who tracked his every next step towards entering the market. From time to time, while reading another review, one could get fragmentary information on what the body or interior of a new car looks like and look at photographs of its fragments. But the final answer to the questions of motorists could only be given by its official presentation. The interest in the product of the automotive industry fueled the release in the summer of 2014 of two special series (one of which is UnLimited), which preceded the appearance of the new model.
The long-awaited update from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant
On October 7, the expected event took place and the lineup UAZ products were supplemented by the updated Patriot, which was a continuation of the purposeful policy pursued by the manufacturer to improve the reliability, quality and ease of use of the cars produced. His presentation showed that thanks to active work on innovative changes in production processes, modernization of its sections, cost reduction and increased labor efficiency, the plant managed to bring a competitive product to the market that is in demand by the buyer. The 2014 Patriot is in no way inferior to the cars of its class, and surpasses them in a number of positions. After the release of the UnLimited special series, the updated Comfort and Limited appeared. Stylish body design, chic interior, increased comfort and exquisite interior give new UAZ products excellent chances to fight for leadership in Russia. automotive market... Repeated market review automotive products, conducted by various experts, showed that the consumer has long been waiting for a qualitatively new product from a Russian manufacturer that is not inferior to imported counterparts. The restyled Patriot turned out to be as modern and comfortable as possible. The updated UAZ has found made of high quality materials spacious salon equipped with the latest technology. New navigation system, modern multifunctional touchscreen display (7 inches), parking sensors, rear view camera providing reliable overview dead zones, trip computer and "polite light" - this is just a small list of the advantages that the updated Patriot has acquired. In the modern market, UAZ is one of the most successful examples of a constantly evolving vehicle. Its interior has improved many times in just a few years, while the new model has not lost the advantages achieved earlier. The new Patriot has a choice of two engines: a 2.7-liter petrol or a 2.3-liter diesel. Cardan shafts became maintenance-free and with an increased resource. Wheel disks for the new models - R16 or R18 to choose from (the latter are included in the Limited package). The developers did everything possible to make the Patriot extremely comfortable to drive, and its driver was provided with excellent visibility and maximum comfort. The seats are easy and comfortable to operate, taking the position required for a perfect fit while driving, and if necessary, they can be transformed into a berth. The interior of the new 2014 car has become much more comfortable for passengers. In particular, a second heater appeared, controlled separately and creating its own microclimate on back seat, which also became looser by 8 cm. 
The vehicle's ergonomics are especially noticeable in the Limited trim level. A modern multimedia system that plays Full HD video, as well as AM / FM / MP3 and is equipped with USB / AUX ports, in combination with four high-quality speakers, allows you to turn the UAZ interior into comfortable place recreation.
Power and reliability, versatility and comfort
The updated UAZ Patriot was released under the motto “power and reliability, versatility and comfort”. The model has found a new V-shaped radiator grille, headlights that have changed their design and are equipped with daytime running lights on photodiodes, nice body-colored side mirrors with built-in "turn signals".
As a result, the 2014 Patriot acquired a harmonious and holistic look. The new UAZ received integrated side steps having volumetric niches that are not damaged when driving off-road. For increase lateral stability when maneuvering, the car has got a rear stabilizer. In addition, the updated UAZ has a stylish spare wheel container decorated with a silver Patriot lettering and a modern design. taillights... In order not to affect the cross-country ability, the ground clearance remained unchanged - 210 mm.
Earlier, in June 2014, the Patriot UnLimited limited edition was released. The UnLimited body has been painted in an exclusive color (Quartz Metallic) and the wheels are blackened R16 light alloy wheels. On the road, the UnLimited is easily recognizable by its original spare wheel container and the chrome rim gleaming in the sun. The interior of the car is equipped with black leather seats, decorated with a two-tone "UnLimited" logo. The very first review of the UnLimited special series showed an increased attention and high interest of motorists to these products, so these cars are unlikely to have time to stagnate in dealer parking lots.
First assessments for a new car
Three complete sets of Patriot family cars were delivered to the conveyor: Classic, Comfort and Limited. Any of them can be equipped with both gasoline and diesel engine... Possessing equal performance characteristics, the configurations differ in an additional level of comfort, with the maximum level of the Limited. Since October 2014, all official dealers UAZ has started accepting applications for the Patriot 2014 model year. The range of colors of the cars sold is extremely rich and can satisfy the most refined and refined taste. The top-end Limited, which is fully equipped with everything necessary, is of particular interest to buyers.
Test drives carried out dealerships, showed good adaptation of the car to both urban and off-road conditions, which is also confirmed by tests carried out by buyers of UAZ products. Highly rated by buyers, high driving performance, interior and equipment of the updated model.
Most dealers have prepared ahead of time for the release of the 2014 car, so each of them had their own presentation at which the Patriot was presented in the Limited trim. The press in its assessments was unanimous in the assessment that the UAZ products were met with great interest. Even the female fashion models, usually invited to decorate such an event, could not distract the looks of the men, directed at the Patriot Limited, hiding from prying eyes with a veil. The overwhelming majority of those present enthusiastically appreciated the work of the manufacturer, noting the excellent stylish look of the car of the year, its interior and comfort. Everyone wanted to get into the salon and try its ergonomics for themselves. High performance characteristics and modern stylish look of the new Patriot Limited were especially noted. Summarizing the foregoing, we can unequivocally say that UAZ is on the right track, the restyling was a success, and all the series and configurations of 2014: from the limited UnLimited series to the restyled model in the Limited configuration will definitely find their owner.
How quickly time flies, modern car models know much better than we humans. For example, the Russian off-road vehicle UAZ Patriot (UAZ PATRIOT) has been produced since 2005 and is not going to retire yet, and in order not to look his 10 years old, he undergoes a rejuvenation procedure every year. It would seem that the brutal Ulyanovsk SUV is one of those cars that have nothing to do with makeup, because under a layer of dirt, graceful details still cannot be discerned.
But in Ulyanovsk they want the Patriot's appearance not to cause a desire to get him dirty faster, and so that on Nevsky or Tverskaya he does not look like a "man in bast shoes." Therefore, recently he not only lifted his face, but even brought his eyes down. New ones with LED lights and mirrors with turn signal repeaters came to him very well. Globally, these "gadgets" are not a sensation, but a few years ago few could have imagined such a glamorous UAZ PATRIOT.
The value for money from Ulyanovsk has traditionally made shoppers look like the hedgehogs from the popular joke. They injected about all sorts of flaws and defects, but continued to buy - the price was too attractive.
The VAZ management is not going to refuse such an advantage. The updated UAZ Patriot in 2014 has become more expensive than its predecessor, but is still significantly cheaper than any of the competitors, for example, SUVs. Chinese brand and for sales managers it is like an eternal joker.
Just imagine, on a 2014 car, worth 649 thousand rubles, there is not a single airbag, there is no stabilization system (even for a surcharge), bad, etc. But for the 5th time, you will give up and believe that this car is the best for the money. Moreover, the list of available equipment is replenished every year.
It recently featured an elegant dashboard s, modern, and. Useful options and there are more pleasant things, but in general, UAZ PATRIOT is still, as they say, not for everybody.
But the new UAZ Patriot is generous in Russian with the space for heads, elbows and knees. The rear passengers were not less lucky before than the front passengers. Now the distance between the two rows of seats has been increased by an additional 8 centimeters. You can sit freely not just "by yourself", but also put a girl on her lap and give her an accordion.
The gasoline engine of the new Patriot cannot be called quiet either. With a volume of under 3 liters, it develops a capacity of 128 forces. It is not difficult to guess that the dynamics of a car weighing over 3 tons will be modest. Overtaking with requires careful planning and discretion in execution. But driving PATRIOT 2014 is unlikely to lose your license for speeding. In theory, the maximum speed is only 150 km / h, but in practice there is no desire to go faster than 100.
The UAZ character is also peculiar, somewhat relaxed. When driving in a straight line, you have to steer every now and then, although before "sliding" the SUV will give the driver enough time to align the course. The suspension softens unevenness, but does not swallow, and passengers feel bumps all over. It will not shake the soul, but it can get seasick.
However, engineers do not forget about the suspension. On the updated cars, a rear anti-roll bar, which was previously absent on the UAZ Patriots, appeared. With it, the SUV rolls less when cornering, stands more confidently on the arc, and when maneuvering at medium speeds, the car's reactions to the driver's actions have become clearer and more stable.
A more flexible character should convince buyers that UAZ PATRIOT can now handle the crazy pace of life in the metropolis. Moreover, outside the asphalt, the car from Ulyanovsk still feels at home. Ground clearance or 210 millimeters is certainly not a record, but solid axles, long suspension travel, "honest" four-wheel drive and the presence of a downshift are doing their good job, especially since the electronics that control the new Korean hand-out box seem to have been brought to mind.
Previously, the algorithm for turning on and off on the new UAZ Patriot was not simple, and at the same time, the razdatka could arbitrarily jump from one mode to another. Today the system works flawlessly, and the process of choosing the desired mode has become easier. However, if you hang two wheels diagonally, PATRIOT, in the absence of cross-wheel locks, still runs the risk of stopping and “bleeding” all the traction into slipping.
But in the near future, the domestic UAZ SUV should appear: a differential with a lock, and a stabilization system, and, and, and more powerful motors. In a word, this car has no time to think about retirement, it has too much to show and prove.
With each cycle of updates, the domestic SUV becomes more comfortable and modern, but more and more similar to its competitors. Will it turn out that new Patriot will finally catch up with them, incl. for the price, and will lose his, albeit controversial and controversial, but still charisma? Perhaps, now this is the main intrigue of the products of the Ulyanovsk plant.
The target audience of the Russian SUV UAZ Patriot 2014 is middle-aged and mature men who can live in the city, but who have to drive daily on far from ideal rural roads. However, marketers expect that the renewed UAZ PATRIOT will also be watched over by the townspeople who are not averse to saving money when buying an SUV, or buying a car. bigger size for affordable money.
