УАЗ отказался снимать легендарную «Буханку» с производства

The company stated that this model's era is not over yet

Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) has refuted media reports about plans to discontinue the production of the SGR family commercial vehicle, known as the UAZ-452 "Loaf".

"The 'Loaf,' of course, is far from young, but its era is not over yet."

The current "Loaf" is a modernized version of the UAZ-452, which began production in 1966. The 452, in turn, is unified in many body elements with the UAZ-450 of the 1958 model.

In its basic configuration, the car is equipped with a ZMZ-40911 gasoline engine with 2.7 liters and 112 hp. The power unit is combined with a 5-speed manual transmission and a plug-in all-wheel drive, and there is a downshift gear.

In the near future, the legendary model will undergo re-certification and receive a new Vehicle Type Approval (OTTS). According to the plans, the document will record an engine of the "Euro-5" environmental class, with a power of 112.2 hp and 213 Nm of torque. This is 15 Nm more than the previous version of the "Euro-2" engine, which will make the model not only more environmentally friendly, but also more productive.
