Updated 3170-UAZ "Patriot": photos and reviews

Model UAZ-3170 is a truly intriguing novelty. According to the developers, the concept of the car will be absolutely new. For the Ulyanovsk plant, as for the entire domestic automotive industry, this is far from an ordinary event. The last update of the line was made in 2005. It was "Patriot 3163". In fact, it was a restyled version of "Symbi". The new machine promises to be an absolutely individual and practical unit. Let's try to figure out what's special about it.

general information

UAZ "Patriot" 3170 is the first model from Ulyanovsk designers, which goes into mass production with a bearing body. Around the considered modification for a long time there were various rumors that is connected with the secrecy of the project (typical for the plant, oriented to products for the army). However, information leakage did occur. For example, it became known that the new off-road vehicle will be significantly disassembled with its predecessor, but it will be based on the Patriot platform.

The basis

At the Ulyanovsk Combine, a fundamentally new platform was developed for more than one year. For example, in 2005, based on SsangYong Musso, a prototype was created with the body of a not yet serial "Patriot". Subsequently, attempts were made to develop this direction by using component parts of Ssangyong and Kairon. However, such frame constructions remained in single copies.

The serial UAZ-3163 remains unchanged in design, receiving some refinements and updates. Another modernization of the off-roader took place in 2014, already with the current director of the plant, Eugenia Galkina. Now the team of designers is actively working on the creation of the UAZ-3170 version, which does not yet have its own name.

In April 2016 Deputy Director A. Matasov shared information that the modification will be equipped with a load-bearing body, and also confirmed the assumptions about the strikingly large difference between the "Patriot" and the new SUV. As specialists suggest, this is the first crossover manufactured at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant.

There was an opinion that the new car would receive a platform, which was designed in the framework of the "Cortege" program. However, the representation of the Sollers group, which owns the Ulyanovsk automobile plant, withdrew from the project, intending to design the model on its own.

Power unit

Presumably, the engine, which will be installed on the updated UAZ "Patriot" 3170 (2016) - gasoline unit in volume of 2.7 lira, capacity of 128 horsepower. In addition, a 2.2-liter diesel engine with 114 "horses" is available.

As the designers conceived the modernization of the power plant in conjunction with specialists of the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant, it can be expected that the updated model will be equipped with a new motor that has a smaller volume with higher power ratings.

In 2016, engineers ZMZ finalized the design of the engine, replacing the problematic node in the form of a tension roller for a more modern analog. In addition, the planned translation of engines in accordance with Euro-5 standards. Testing of the modification on liquefied natural gas is also carried out. If the installation successfully passes the test, it is possible that it will appear on the crossover UAZ-3170. Plus, everything is being developed diesel variations, of which there is not much information yet.

Transmission unit

The data that the updated gasoline engine will aggregate with an automatic gearbox is slipping. And it can appear on the staff "Patriot" and on a new SUV. The introduction of AKPP in the design of the car has already been undertaken, but the project was frozen because of the crisis and the lack of a supplier offering a good quality node at an affordable price. Most likely, the search for such a dealer in the near future will again become relevant.

Designers develop a box with six ranges of their own production, as well as consideration of proposals from other engineering companies. According to unconfirmed reports, the priority is Dymos checkpoint (a South Korean company). The Patriot already has several elements from this manufacturer, in particular a transfer case with electronic control. In addition, a new type of mechanical transmission for the crossover is being developed.

External changes

The exterior of the new UAZ car "Patriot" 3170 has changed insignificantly. There was a modified grille, as well as an enlarged company logo, giving recognition to the SUV. It should be noted that the hatch of the gas tank was removed from the left side of the hull, now there is no need to guess which side to approach the car at the gas station. Designers installed a single fuel tank, eliminating the need to install an additional transfer pump. In addition, the material for manufacturing the fuel tank has also changed. Now it's plastic, which, unlike the metal equivalent, does not rust and does not clog the filter.

During the presentation of one of the new models, there was an incident. One famous general, opening the door of the presented car, tore off the handle. Now this problem is solved, suppliers have improved fixing, the handles have passed more than one test test. Also pleasantly pleases the doorway, all rolling surfaces are treated with a special composition of plastisol, the upper part of the doors is equipped with a second sealing contour.

Salon of the UAZ "Patriot" 3170

In 2016, the renewed interior of the car in question was presented. The driver's seat is quite comfortable, the decorative overlays testify to the efforts of the developers to make the interior modern and fashionable. The instrument panel changed slightly, receiving a white backlight.

The central console is radically redrawn, the display is shifted upward, which allows you to pay more attention to the road, in the lower part there is a convenient pocket for small things. The basic equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, airbags.

Safety belts are equipped with a pretensioning mechanism and a force limiter. The front rack is strengthened, in the case of a head-on collision, the steering column does not fly all over the cabin. The floor and the frame of the armchairs were reinforced. The body was equipped with a pair of points of the frame fastening, which allows to stabilize it in place, even with a serious impact. The steering wheel is adjustable not only on the slope, but also on the fly, which makes it convenient to accommodate the driver of any combination.

Additional comfort

SUV "Patriot" 3170, photo of which is presented above, received a pleasant update - heating the steering wheel. This made it the first domestic car with a similar option, taking into account the harsh climatic conditions of some regions.

Clutching and requiring considerable effort, the switches under the steering wheel have been transformed into modern regulators with extended functionality. There was a function to control the intensity of the wipers, a mode of three-time winking of the turn signals, activated by a light touch. In addition, UAZ "Patriot" 3170 equipped with a multifunctional computer, pushbutton switches of modern design, which made it possible to provide ease and quiet adjustment of devices.

Instead of an outdated ventilating plant, a complete climate control of a single-zone type is provided. For comparison, the new device with a 35-degree heat can cool the cabin by 12 degrees, which is three times higher than the previous air conditioner. The climate control works almost silently, in winter it does not require the use of an additional heater.

Noise and vibration protection

As for noise isolation, the UAZ-3170 in 2016 left its predecessor decently. There was additional protection for the engine compartment, floor, doors, roof. The additional secondary circuit made it possible to reduce the noise level by 7-8 dB. This is a very significant indicator, which makes it possible not to shout to the driver with passengers, but to communicate in a calm tone. This does not distract the driver from the road, and passengers are not annoyed by annoying extraneous sounds.

Stabilization system

The UAZ-3170 stabilization system, the photo of which is available above, is one of the most significant innovations. The site was introduced with the participation of German engineers. The main work was carried out in Germany, the ESP setup was carried out after testing on various routes at different times of the year. The result was decent.

It can not be said that a stabilization system is a waste and an unnecessary expense. In fact, ESP allows you to stabilize traffic on a slippery area, and also to keep the vehicle on a steep slope with the help of a special option Hill Hold Control.

Also, the stabilization system has an off-road mode, which makes it possible to remain active at speeds up to 60 km / h. When this option is enabled, the unit mimics the inter-wheel lock, locking the slipping wheels, providing a reliable hook and high traction. But this is not all the charms of the block under consideration. The layout offers a lockable center-to-center rear differential, which significantly increases the cross-country capability of the 3170-UAZ crossover. Especially this function will be appreciated by fishermen and hunters who like to visit hard-to-reach places.

Features

At first, the power unit remains the same. The power suffices him with a stretch, which is not a special secret. It is planned to equip new modifications with turbocharged units. The current installations are also being improved in terms of reliability and productivity. At ZMZ, a decision was made to introduce comprehensive measures to eliminate such an unpleasant defect as a belt break in the timing belt. Stretch roller has received a new design, improved protection against dirt and dust, as well as increased working life.

It is planned that UAZ-3170 2017 will be equipped with a control lever of the transfer case, tires with a deeper and studded protector, a winch built into the front bumper, increased protection of the bottom part, as well as other innovations that facilitate riding on rough terrain. The remaining pleasant surprises are still off-screen.

Another updated element is a plastic fuel tank. Its strength tests were carried out by applying a mechanical shock to a steel core with a diameter of 70 millimeters. For the sake of comparison, a similar test was conducted with a metal reservoir. The plastic showed itself at a decent level, taking into account the fact that it is not subject to corrosion processes. It is worth noting that such obstacles on the roads of any value are very rare.

In addition

As the developers say, the new SUV-3170 in the new body is equipped with a single fuel tank. This in no way affects the passability of the car, the clearance of which is 323 millimeters. On the test tests, the updated models easily overcome obstacles in height of 30 centimeters.

In addition, experts of the car factory commented that the volume of the new gas tank is 70 liters, which is quite enough for the crossover, since it is equipped with a power plant with an acceptable fuel consumption. The reservoir was placed within the base platform, which is conditioned by the desire to maintain good stability and controllability of the machine.

Competing group

As experts note, the new UAZ-3170 as the main competitors received two cars ("Ford Kuga" and "Volkswagen Tiguan"). This allows us to assign a new domestic SUV to compact city crossovers. If you exclude representatives of the luxury class, you can also include such cars as: Hyundai ix35, Toyota Rav-4, Nissan Kashkay, Cheri Tiggo and some other not so popular modifications.

Since the exact parameters of the car, including the type of suspension, power unit, additional equipment, are not yet known, one can only assume about the level of the updated SUV. If you believe the developers, the machine will be equipped with an independent suspension, carrying a body and several models of engines. As stated by the representative of the company, the equipment and characteristics of the domestic crossover will not yield at least "Kuge" and "Tiguanu", while at a more attractive price.

Price policy

Approximately price fork on UAZ "Patriot" 3170 (2016) will vary from one to one and a half million rubles, depending on the equipment and additional functionality. The amount is pretty decent, therefore, in order to find its niche in the market, the car should not be much more expensive than the Patriot, and its capabilities are not worse than the Korean and Chinese counterparts. As far as developers will be able to translate this into reality, time will tell. I want to believe that the designers will find the right solution, and the Russian crossover will win universal popularity.

Launching in a batch production

The finish line for launching into the series of the SUV in question is 2020. There is information that the general public car will be presented a year earlier. It is assumed that the release of "Patriot" and the new UAZ-3170, the photo of which is higher, will be carried out in parallel. As a result, the updated platform should become the main base for the production of subsequent modifications. A complete replacement of the foundation according to plans will occur no earlier than 2022.

Currently, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant continues active work on changing the quality control system, improving the work of dealers, optimizing the functionality of logistics centers and freeing production facilities for a new model. It remains to wait a bit, to see firsthand the final version of another UAZ SUV.

Reviews

Many users hope that the new model will prove to be a worthy competitor to their Western counterparts. Motorists believe that domestic designers can create a worthy option, despite all the problems that the Russian car industry is experiencing. Some consumers are skeptical about this project, arguing that similar attempts have already been made that have not yielded any particular results. In addition, users note the lengthy implementation of the release of the new machine, which will lead to its obsolescence immediately after the start of mass production.
