At the end of summer 2013, the automobile plant in the city of Ulyanovsk began to produce the updated UAZ Patriot 2014. In the new UAZ Patriot, changes only affected the transmission, interior trim and improved front passenger safety.
ALL! Pay attention to the model year.
As for the transmission, UAZ began to cooperate with the Korean company Hyundai. Now the new SUV will be equipped with a Hyundai-Dymos transfer case. With this transfer case, the downshift ratio was increased by 31% and the Patriot's off-road traction ability was significantly improved. We believe that one of the main disadvantages of this improvement is that this transfer case is completely electric, shifting is now done with a round joystick, which was more practical with levers.
In the cabin of the new UAZ Patriot 2014, the headliner has been updated, the manufacturer has replaced the audio system, which now supports USB output. Also, the main goal was to remove the handrail located near the front passenger, it was very traumatic in case of accidents. The dashboard is now made of soft plastic, and when assembled, the number of parts was reduced by 30%, which significantly reduced the noise in the cabin. In the center of the new panel, the air ducts have been transformed. The air conditioner and heater system are manufactured by SANDEN.
From the external changes, we only noticed that the UAZ "and now has a new main color - it is black graphite."
Technical characteristics of the new UAZ Patriot 2014
The line of engines for the new SUV remains the same, this is the 2.6-liter ZMZ-409 injection engine, which produces 128 hp. (209.7 Nm) and diesel 2.2 liters. outstanding power of 113 hp (270 Nm). These power units will work as before, paired with a five-speed gearbox. Consumption of "UAZ" patriot has not changed, in mixed mode the gasoline eats 15.5 liters, and the diesel 12.5 liters. for 100 km.
Price for UAZ Patriot 2014
According to the Ulyanovsk plant, the price of UAZ Patriot 2014 with a Korean handout will start at 568 tr. To get the maximum grade, you will have to pay as much as 755 tr.
For residents of the Far North, the option "Winter Package" is offered, which includes:
- Heated windshield;
- All heated seats;
- Additional autonomous interior heater;
- High-capacity battery.
For this package, depending on your configuration, you will have to pay from 12,000 to 16,000 rubles.

UAZ Patriot 2014 video review, test drive
For those who are thinking about buying a new UAZ Patriot 2014, we recommend watching a video review and a test drive.
UAZ Patriot is an off-road vehicle of frame construction, the production of which was launched in 2005 in the city of Ulyanovsk at the car plant of the same name. For the design of this model, a sample was taken of the popular at that time off-road vehicle UAZ "Simbir", which had the factory name UAZ-3163.
Since the fall of 2014, it became known about the release of an improved version of this car. At the same time, applications for the purchase of the 2015 UAZ Patriot began to be received. If you want to buy a car that looks elegant on city streets and does not care about off-road conditions, then the information in this article will be of interest to you. Consider the technical characteristics of the 2015 UAZ Patriot.
The main units of UAZ have not undergone significant changes, the SUV will be installed Gas engine ZMZ 409.10 with a volume of 2.7 liters, a maximum power of 128 hp, which is achieved at 4400 rpm, with a maximum torque of 217 N * m at 2500 rpm, the number of cylinders in the engine is 4, the arrangement is in-line, like on previous models of engines in this series. Fuel injection type, operating on a distributed fuel injection system directly into the cylinders, and complying with the Euro-2 environmental standard.
The production of models with a 2.23-liter diesel engine of the ZMZ 51432 type, with a maximum power of 113 hp, which is achieved at 3500 rpm, with a maximum torque of 270 N * m at 1800-2800 rpm, the number of cylinders is provided. in-line arrangement and equal to four, fuel injection - injection. In addition to domestic-made engines, the previous UAZ Patriot models were equipped with an IVECO F1A diesel engine, made in Italy, and had the following characteristics: volume - 2.3 liters, maximum developed power - 116 hp at 3900 crankshaft rpm, maximum torque - 270 N * m at 2500 rpm. But on the 2015 UAZ model, this engine will not be installed.
As before, the role of the transmission is performed by a five-speed manual gearbox. The wheels are fully driven - Part Time, the rear axle is constantly rotating, and the front is manually connected. Efforts are distributed to the drive axles by a transfer case with an electric drive.
Logically, cars of this class cannot be classified as racing cars, but the power of the UAZ engines is enough to confidently drive them both in busy city traffic, where dynamic acceleration and maneuverability are required, and on bad road sections, where ordinary sedans have no place.
The gasoline engine will make it possible to accelerate to 150 kilometers per hour. In 20 seconds, the car will accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour, while consuming 12.5 liters of 92nd gasoline in the combined cycle; 10.5 l. on the highway, and 14.5 liters. in city mode. When driving at a speed of 90 km / h, the average fuel consumption will be 11-12 liters, and at 120 km / h - 15-16 liters.
With a ZMZ 51432 diesel engine, the car reaches a maximum speed of 135 kilometers per hour, accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour in 22 seconds. Diesel fuel consumption in highway conditions will be about 9.5 liters at a speed of 90 km / h. As tests have shown, when converting a gasoline unit to gas, the fuel consumption began to be 16 liters per 100 kilometers.
UAZ Patriot 2015 has the following dimensions.
Classic - (length, wheelbase, width and height) - 4750 * 2760 * 1900 * 1910.
Comfort & Limited - (length, wheelbase, width and height) - 4785/2760/1900/2005. 1600 mm - front and rear wheel track for the basic Classic, and 1610 for Comfort and Limited. Weight 2125 kg. for cars equipped with gasoline units and 2165 kg. for diesel engines. The maximum permissible weight of "gasoline" cars is 2125 kilograms and 2165 for diesel versions. The maximum weight of the transported cargo is 525 kg. And as a result, the weight of the entire car will be 2650 and 2690 kilograms, respectively.
It will not be superfluous to note that the passport carrying capacity corresponds to 525 kilograms, but tests show that the weight of 600 kg is quite on the "shoulders" of this SUV. The ground clearance, or ground clearance for all trim levels, is 210 millimeters. without difficulty, half-meter recesses, which is its excellent advantage in muddy roads. The ramp angle of thirty-five degrees allows him not to "sit on his belly" when hitting steep surfaces, and moving the city curbs will not be difficult at all.
The latest design inventions were not embodied in the creation of this SUV, but nevertheless, an important detail appeared in the Patriot's suspension system, a stabilizer is installed on the rear axle for lateral stability, everything else is left unchanged, in the front there is a spring-type suspension, in the back there is a spring-type suspension. The braking system is represented by disc brakes, front and rear brakes of the usual drum type. Tires can be selected by configuration, 16 and size 225 * 75 or 235 * 70. It is also provided for the installation of a reinforced tread for work in difficult conditions - 245/60 R18
The new UAZ Patriot 2014 model year at the beginning of August 2013 left the assembly line of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, on August 6, the first copy of the modernized car was released. 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 the technical characteristics and price of the updated car are.
Convenient control knob with three transmission modes: 2H - rear-wheel 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.
The new Korean transfer case has significantly improved the traction characteristics of the Russian SUV, the lowering gear ratio is now 2.56 (on SUVs with a domestic transfer case 1.94). A car with activated low gear mode literally at idle speed of the 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 have become available in the face of heated 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 the front axle is connected and the downshift is activated, it is quiet in the cabin, and you can only find out about the inclusion by the indication on the dashboard.
At the beginning of the review, we said that the updated UAZ Patriot of the 2014 model year cannot be distinguished externally from the car of the 2013 model, this is not entirely true. The new body of the UAZ Patriot 2014 sports headlights with LED daytime running lights.
It can be safely stated that the current restyling (new electronic control gearbox, improved ergonomics) and updates carried out at the end of 2012 (installation of a modern soft-touch instrument panel, new door and ceiling upholstery, a qualitatively new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, advanced multimedia systems 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.
One of the currently most popular domestic off-road vehicles, the UAZ Patriot SUV, has been produced at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since August 2005. In fact, it was a modernized UAZ-3162 "Simbir", since much of the technical equipment was transferred to the new model practically unchanged. The only thing that the Patriot has clearly added relative to its predecessor is the level of comfort. Since its debut, the SUV was produced without major updates until 2012, when a restyling was carried out, mainly affecting the interior. Then the car received a new dashboard, a four-spoke steering wheel of the German company Takata-Petri AG, a new air conditioning system, a 2DIN radio tape recorder with a USB connector and a speakerphone function, an updated interior with a combined color scheme of black and beige. A number of changes have also taken place in the trim levels.
At the beginning of 2013, the UAZ Patriot finally got a turbocharged diesel engine, which supplemented the petrol ZMZ-409 in the engine range. A new turbodiesel with the ZMZ-51432 index was developed at the Zavolzhsky Engine Plant with the participation of BOSCH specialists. We will talk in detail about its technical characteristics a little later.
Following the appearance of a new diesel engine in the range of engines in August 2013, another restyling burst out, designed to complete the series of updates that began a year earlier. This time, the changes affected both the design and the technical component. We will try to understand all the differences between the restyled UAZ Patriot 2014 model year from its predecessor in this review.
To begin with, the SUV has retained its overall dimensions. The length of the car is 4647 mm, the width and height are 2080 and 1900 mm, respectively. When installed on the roof rails, the height increases to 2000 mm. The appearance of the car after restyling has changed slightly, in fact, the update only affected the head optics. The new Patriot has got LED daytime running lights, which is still a rarity for domestic cars. The rest of the exterior has remained the same, although it is hardly worth worrying about, since before the restyling of the UAZ Patriot it looked quite nice. Straight body lines, a massive front bumper, regular headlights, widened wheel arches, an almost square stern - this is a real man's car, ready for serious off-road tests. Of course, the impression is spoiled a little by the lack of original design solutions and not too tight fit of the body elements, but all these shortcomings are more than compensated by the remarkable all-terrain potential of the car.
The main change in the technical "stuffing" of the UAZ Patriot 2014, which entailed a serious revision of the architecture of the car's interior, is the installation of a new electronically controlled transfer case from the Korean company DYMOS. Its appearance led to the disappearance of the transfer case control lever, which looked at least inappropriate next to the gear shift knob. Now a three-position selector flaunts in place of the lever. In the 2H position, traction is transmitted only to the rear axle, and the choice of positions 4H and 4L allows you to engage four-wheel drive and a downshift, respectively. Moreover, if you can switch the transmission to 4H mode directly on the move (at a speed of no more than 60 km / h), then to turn on the lowering row, you must stop and perform a certain sequence of actions. First, squeeze the clutch, and then move the selector to the extreme right position and hold it there for 3-4 seconds. To make sure that the mode has been activated, a special indication on the panel helps.
Replacing the transfer case entailed a whole series of design changes. Firstly, the new transfer case turned out to be longer than the old one, so the cardan shaft had to be shortened, as a result of which there was no need for an intermediate support. Secondly, to carry out the installation of the box, the floor tunnel had to be changed. Thirdly, a frame cross member of a different configuration was installed. Finally, the handbrake mechanism has been completely revised. If earlier the "handbrake" blocked the propeller shaft, now the cables are connected directly to the brake drums of the rear wheels.
Equipping the new UAZ Patriot 2014 with an imported transfer case has significantly improved the traction characteristics of the SUV. This is made possible thanks to the increased gear ratio of the reduction row, which is 2.96 (the old value was 1.94). Another important advantage of this update was a significant reduction in the noise level inside the cabin, i.e. the same drawback, which was considered an integral part of the pre-styling Patriot, was eliminated. And of course, the very process of changing the operating mode of the transmission, albeit somewhat intricate, has become more convenient and soundless. It is still premature to talk about the shortcomings of the new razdatka, although already now some motorists note that the electronics do not always respond adequately to an attempt to turn on a downshift.
Speaking about other updates in the last restyled SUV, it is worth paying attention to not so cardinal, but at the same time very pleasant and useful transformations in the cabin. First of all, they added finishing materials as materials, including softer plastic. Finally, the power window control unit has changed its location, having moved from the front panel to the armrest of the driver's door. The steering wheel has got new paddle shifters, the rear-view mirror, handles and sun visors have also been updated. Passengers sitting in the back traditionally receive a large supply of free space both in height and in the knee zone, and the appearance of an additional heater and heated second-row seats makes the trip even more comfortable during cold weather. These options are included in the so-called "winter package", which also includes heated front seats (if not provided by the complete set), heated windshield, high-capacity battery. It can be stated unequivocally that the interior design of the new UAZ Patriot 2014 has improved in quality due to the latest updates. The cabin is now more comfortable and extraneous noise does not penetrate here so easily. Added to all this is a super-roomy trunk with a volume of 960 liters - that's where the Russian SUV definitely has no competitors.
As for the line of power units, everything here remains the same. The base is a 2.7-liter gasoline engine with 128 hp. and a maximum torque of 210 N * m, achieved at 2500 rpm. The second available powerplant is a 113-horsepower 2.2-liter turbocharged diesel capable of generating 270 Nm of torque in the 1800-2800 rpm range. For the modification with a gasoline engine, the maximum speed limit is set at around 150 km / h, for the version with a diesel engine - 135 km / h. The weight of the cars also differs - the diesel UAZ Patriot weighs 40 kg more than its gasoline counterpart, namely 2165 kg. Regardless of the type of installed power unit, the carrying capacity of the SUV is 525 kg.
The suspension of the new UAZ Patriot is fully dependent - at the front it is spring-loaded with an anti-roll bar, at the rear - on leaf springs. The transmission is mechanical 5-speed from the same DYMOS company. Front disc brakes, rear - drum type. The steering is equipped with an Italian-made hydraulic booster.
As it became clear from the above, the new 2014 Patriot remains a classic rear-wheel drive car with the ability to rigidly connect the front axle, although there have been several talks about installing a permanent all-wheel drive. Nevertheless, the off-road potential of the brainchild of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is still very high and allows you to easily overcome those road sections that will be beyond the power of many foreign analogues. This is largely due to the impressive ground clearance of 210 mm.
According to the latest information, the restyling was not the last, and the SUV will soon be updated again. In 2014, the electrical wiring will be modernized, and a year later the Patriot's appearance will undergo a serious revision. At the same time, an automatic transmission and a new 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine are expected. In 2016, the body of the SUV should be fully galvanized. The possibility of equipping the car with a monocoque body is also being considered, but this is already in the longer term.
To date, the price of the new UAZ Patriot 2014 model year with a new transfer case starts at 579,000 rubles. This is how much you will need to pay for a car in the Classic configuration with fabric upholstery and the following options: power windows for front and rear doors, power and heated side mirrors, immobilizer, audio preparation.
The Comfort configuration, which will cost 629,000 rubles, becomes available: 16-inch alloy wheels, side steps, fog lights, heated front seats, air conditioning, a 2-Din radio with 4 speakers.
The Limited version provides for a combined interior upholstery, installation of a block of LED running lights, and equipping the car with ABS and EBD systems. The price of the UAZ Patriot in this version will be 669,000 rubles.
There are also two more versions, equipped with special equipment - Trophy and Arctic. For adherents of the old transfer case, the Welcome version is provided, available at a price of 529,000 rubles. The winter package is already included in a number of trim levels, while its additional installation will cost from 25,000 rubles.
All prices are for versions with a gasoline engine. Installation of a diesel engine is possible in the Comfort, Limited and Trophy trim levels, which will add another 90,000 rubles to the cost of the SUV.
Photo UAZ Patriot 2014
In October 2014, a 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 stylish design and a wide range of comfort options to satisfy the widest range 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 car, 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 model range of UAZ products was replenished with 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 manufactured vehicles. 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, luxurious interior, enhanced comfort and refined interior give new UAZ products excellent chances to compete for leadership in the Russian automotive market. A multiple review of the automotive market, 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 acquired a spacious interior made of high-quality materials, equipped with the latest technology. A new navigation system, a modern multifunctional touchscreen display (7 inches), parking sensors, a rear-view camera providing a reliable view of the blind spots, a trip computer and "polite light" are 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 have become maintenance-free and with an increased resource. The wheels for the new models are 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 in the rear seat, which, moreover, became 8 cm freer. 
The vehicle's ergonomics are especially noticeable in the Limited trim level. A modern multimedia system that reproduces 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 a comfortable resting place.
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 with volumetric niches that are not damaged when driving off-road. To improve lateral stability when maneuvering, the car has got a rear stabilizer. In addition, the updated UAZ is equipped with a stylish spare wheel container, decorated with a silver “Patriot” lettering and 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 a gasoline and a diesel engine. Possessing equal performance characteristics, the configurations differ in an additional level of comfort, with the maximum level of the Limited. Starting from October 2014, all official UAZ dealers began 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 by dealerships have shown 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. High driving performance, interior and equipment of the updated model are highly appreciated by buyers.
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.
