В октябре 2016 года ульяновский завод представил новый UAZ 2017. Водителей и экспертов ожидало большое количество сюрпризов. С первого взгляда внешность внедорожника изменилась ровно настолько, насколько можно не спутать новый УАЗ Патриот 2017 с предшественником, вышедшим в 2015 году. Но заглянув внутрь, становится очевидным – поработали на славу.

In front of the changes touched the grille. The brand name has become larger and more expressive - to match the size of the car. The lattice itself, retaining its shape, began to stand out due to the chrome finish located above and below. The shape of the optics has been preserved, but it has been complemented by fashionable LED elements that make cars more modern. The outlines of the side mirrors have changed a little, but they have retained the integrated turn signal.

The front bumper was attached not to the frame, but to the body. Therefore, there are no gaps between the bumper and the wings, as in the previous version, they are minimized. Sealing gum windows will never be installed on cars, they are definitely in the past. Translucent elements are installed on the glue-sealant.

The model range of the UAZ Patriot 2017 is available in the following trim levels: Standart, Comfort, Privilege and Style. Their number has decreased compared to the previous generation, but the number of options offered is enough to choose the optimal one. For example, you can additionally pay for metallic paint, an additional cabin heater, and a preheater.

Manufacturers focused on two main parameters, which are particularly clearly seen in the top trim levels: an increased level of active, passive safety and comfort. In addition, in some models, new equipment and electronic systems have been installed on the updated UAZ Patriot 2017.

Patency

The novelty has kept all the best qualities of the previous generation. The SUV remained frame, and the body is all-metal. UAZ Patriot 2017 clearance is 210 mm. Overhangs of the front and rear bumpers make it easy to overcome the rise in 35, and the descent in 30 degrees.

UAZ 2017 продолжает комплектоваться надежной раздаточной коробкой (РК) Dymos с передаточным числом 2,5. Она опробована на предыдущем поколении, устранены некоторые неисправности. Эта деталь специально изготавливается в Корее. Она обеспечивает:

• silence when connected;
• convenience of switching (lack of a second lever in the cabin).

It is important that this type of RK does not provide for an outboard bearing, therefore it affects the durability of the entire transmission.

The new model provides for installation of a rear axle differential lock with electronic control of the Eaton brand. This option is mounted at the request of the customer for an additional fee on any of the four configurations. It significantly increases the permeability of the car. To activate, just press the button on the front panel before or during the passage of a complex section.

Assistants for the driver

What was not on all previous models - ESP - Stability Program. Together with ABS works EBD. This allows you to effectively distribute the braking forces on each wheel.

The UAZ Patriot 2017 specifications now include:

• TCS, which is responsible for slowing down when passing winding road sections. Efforts are directed at each wheel and are distributed depending on the speed of cornering;
• HBA is a hydraulic assistant that allows you to stop faster in case of emergency braking;
• NNS, greatly facilitating movement down the slope. It allows you to prevent the car from rolling backwards, keeping the SUV in a fixed position for a few seconds until the accelerator pedal is pressed;
• Off-Road mode - allows you to effectively stop on loose soils. Inclusion occurs from the button located on the central panel.

The review of the UAZ Patriot 2017 model year allows us to talk about caring for the safety of passengers and the driver during the passage of difficult sections of the road, especially in snow and ice.

Dimensions

Размеры UAZ Patriot 2017 model year в новом кузове составляют: длина 4750 мм и высота 1910 мм. Однако они могут быть несколько больше (из-за установленных на крыше рейлингов и кофра запасного колеса на двери багажника) +35 мм и +10 мм соответственно, при стандартной ширине 2005 мм.

The weight of the UAZ Patriot 2017 is just over 2.6 tons in full load. The question of when the new UAZ Patriot will be released in a new body is not relevant for the next few years. It has enough space for comfortable accommodation of five or more passengers.

The SUV has a roomy trunk, the volume of which with a folded second row is equal to 2415 liters. Reducing the size of the trunk by 50 liters for passengers in the second row adds 80 mm.

Interior

We can not say that the new UAZ Patriot in the new body. Perhaps this applies only to the rear wings, which have acquired a new form because of the special design of the rear lamp. General parameters and configuration, still remained the same, but the interior of the SUV has definitely changed.

Modernization has undergone steering. He became two-spoke instead of four, with remote buttons. Also the steering-wheel has a leather sheath and electric heating. It has an airbag designed for the driver. In the front panel for the passenger is also provided Airbag. There are new, more functional steering column switches. In addition, it is possible to adjust the position of the steering wheel on the flight and the corner, which is very convenient, although there are some nuances on the installation.

The interior is noticeably younger, the front panel has become more ergonomic and is made of better materials. Fully changed the design of door cards. Transforming the rear seats has become more comfortable.

The on-board computer is installed on all trim levels. It displays temperature overboard, fuel consumption, mains voltage, power reserve and speed. The multimedia system is modern. A clear 7-inch touch screen, there is a bluetooth protocol for connecting a smartphone, there is navigation with maps of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan and an electronic compass.

The touch screen is located in the classic version in the middle of the panel, on the same level as the instrument panel. He changed the angle of inclination, which made the management much more convenient. Air deflectors are located on the sides of the touch screen. They have become more harmoniously combined with side deflectors, besides their appearance has changed significantly - they have acquired a chrome edging. In the configuration Style provides climate control and cruise control, which is very convenient to adjust.

Power point

New UAZ Patriot in the new body of 2017 не получил 2,2 литровую турбированную дизельную версию, несмотря на то, что внедорожник планируется экспортировать в страны Латинской Америки и Европы. В этих странах дизельные авто пользуются большой популярностью. По заявлению руководителей предприятия, выпуск внедорожников с дизельным силовым агрегатом может быть восстановлен очень скоро.

The only possible option for domestic drivers is the ZMZ-40906, which has a volume of 2.7 liters. This is a gasoline aspirated engine, modification of which was carried out in previous models. Its capacity ranges from 128 to 135 liters. with.

Стоит ли покупать UAZ Patriot 2017 model year, имеющий такие параметры? Водители и эксперты единодушны – желательно установить на внедорожник более резвый мотор. Хотя для преодоления сложных участков и движения по городу его вполне достаточно. Максимальная скорость, указанная изготовителями, составляет 150 км/ч. Средний расход топлива от 11,5 л (трасса) до 14 л (город) на 100 км.

It is worth noting that some changes were made, namely:

• fastening expansion tank has become different;
• fuel lines pass on the starboard side;
• exhaust pipes are located on the left side;
• drive pulley for auxiliary units has been replaced;
• the fuel tank became single and plastic.

Given the off-road destination of the Patriot, any of the configurations may be subject to tuning. It is possible to improve throughput by installing a set of larger diameter wheels designed for mud cover. However, it will first be necessary to carry out a lifting.

Tuning UAZ Patriot 2017 in the form of an installed snorkel will add masculinity to an SUV, in addition, will increase safety when passing water obstacles deeper than 0.5 meters. This figure is indicated in the specifications of the Patriot.

A detailed review of the UAZ Patriot 2017 and technical tests demonstrate the perspective of this model. I was interested in the new American tuning studio Devolro, which successfully tunes Toyota Tundra for the North American market.

There are some agreements, so the work is planned to begin at the assembly stage in factory workshops, which will be equipped with the latest technology. Plans are to install new bridges and more powerful power units. About 200 cars are planned to be produced annually. The updated versions are planned to be delivered to the domestic market of the country, to Saudi America and the CIS countries.

Will affect the conversion and interior cars. The noise and vibration insulation, which in this model has been significantly improved, will further improve. The salon will receive additional airbags, the configuration of the front and rear rows will change. The decoration will be used more expensive and high quality materials.
