Release Date of the Updated UAZ "Patriot" Legend Announced: It Will Get an Automatic Transmission and Diesel Engine

This car is likely to see the light of day in 2026

UAZ will release an updated "Patriot" with a new gearbox. In March 2025, the 6-speed manual transmission will be available for the UAZ "Polutorka" and "Profi" in the rear-wheel drive version.

This gearbox will only appear on all-wheel drive versions in the fourth quarter of 2025.

At the same time, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the UAZ "Patriot" will also receive a six-speed manual transmission. Moreover, this transmission will be combined with both a diesel and a gasoline engine.

In the future, the "Patriot" will also receive an automatic transmission, but the timing has not yet been specified. It is likely that we are already talking about 2026 - after the new "mechanics" have settled under the hood of the SUV.
