Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant has announced the release of the first batch of ten pre-production SUVs of the "Patriot" model, equipped with a new 2.7-liter gasoline engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox. This was reported by the company's press service, emphasizing the importance of this step for the further development of the model.
The updated transmission, similar to the one used on Sollers ST6 pickups, has been adapted to take into account the specifics of SUVs. The innovation is aimed at improving the dynamic characteristics of the car and increasing its fuel efficiency.
The UAZ press service noted that the prototypes have already been handed over to partners for adaptation of electronic systems, including active safety elements. In the near future, it is planned to launch a second pre-production batch, which will undergo full-fledged testing in real operating conditions.
It is important to note that the modernized ZMZ Pro engine will be installed on all key UAZ models, including "Patriot", "Pickup", "Profi" and "Hunter".
