The Patriot is a mid-size SUV,which is serially produced at the UAZ plant since 2005. At that time, the model was rather raw, and therefore every year it was constantly being finalized. To date, there are many modifications of the SUV, including the "Patriot" (diesel, ZMZ-51432). Remarkably, the first diesel engines were made with Iveco. However, due to many technical flaws, they were discontinued. At the moment, the main diesel unit for the Patriot is ZMZ-51432. Responses, characteristics, and also the review of Oise - further in our article.
Interesting Facts
Стоит отметить, что предшественником всеми the famous "Patriot" is the UAZ "Simbir", which had the index number 3162. The machine was produced from 2000 to 2005 year. Interestingly, the "Patriot" became the first car on the UAZ, which was equipped with air conditioning, airbags, multimedia system, ABS and other "benefits of civilization." By the way, the system of a single fuel tank was used for the first time at the Patriot (there used to be two separate ones - not the most thoughtful design).
Design
The exterior of the Ulyanovsk SUV has a dynamic and aggressive silhouette. The car is recognizable from afar by the characteristic chopped forms and crystal "big-eyed" optics.
As for the overall dimensions, they are practicallydo not differ from the predecessor "Simbir". Thus, the length of the UAZ ZMZ-51432 “Patriot” is 4.78 meters, width - 1.9 meters without mirrors (with them - 21 centimeters more), height - 2 meters. The ground clearance of the factory "Patriot" is 21 cm. But this is far from the limit. Now sold ready-made kits for the suspension lift. So, 33-inch mud tires quietly fit into the arches. But with a standard ground clearance and stock wheels, the car behaves well on the roads. It is not inferior to the famous "goat" on the characteristics of terrain.
Salon
Let's take a look inside the Ulyanovsk Patriot.Interior design deserves attention. Inside there is a modern panel, center console and multimedia steering wheel. This is not used on the UAZ. In the center - a large multimedia display. However, it is only available in the maximum configuration. Inside, chrome-plated and aluminum inserts appeared (more precisely, plastic, made “under aluminum”). In the car, quite large mirrors.
Due to the high landing reviews mark goodvisibility. Mirrors and dashboard are very informative. An armrest has now appeared between the front seats. By the way, the chairs themselves are covered with natural leather. But then again, in the basic configuration, it is replaced by fabric. The cabin appeared single-zone climate control. On the door cards - convenient buttons control the windows (they are here on the electric drive). Well, with the design "Ulyanovsk" notably tried. However, reviews of the owners note the old hard plastic. Still, insulation needs some work.
Specifications - what was before?
As we noted earlier, the first dieselUAZ modifications were equipped with an IVECO F1A turbo diesel engine. He developed power of 116 horsepower and gave 270 Nm of torque. Remarkably, the same engine was placed on Fiat Ducato light-duty trucks. But in the UAZ this engine did not get accustomed - either from non-modern characteristics, or from a poor-quality assembly. Responded about this motor owners bad enough.
What now?
На данный момент двигатель IVECO F1A не installed on the UAZ "Patriot". Instead, the Ulyanovsk plant has adjusted the supply of the power unit 51432 ZMZ. The engine with a 2.3-liter cylinder capacity develops 114 horsepower. However, unlike “Ivekovskogo”, it uses a more modern injection system. At 51432 ZMZ, Common Rail fuel supply is implemented. This has reduced fuel consumption and increased traction and operational characteristics.
Diesel ZMZ-51432 has an aluminum block anda head, and also differs in an upper arrangement of camshafts. The unit meets the Euro-4 exhaust standards. The engine uses a chain drive timing mechanism. On the valves there are gap lifters. The pressure on the injectors is simply enormous - 1450 Bar. Also, a turbine is used on the 51432 ZMZ engine, which makes it possible to obtain a significantly higher efficiency.
How economical?
All motorists know that diesel, whatever it isneither was, will be much more economical than a gasoline engine. Did not become an exception and diesel ZMZ-51432. Reviews say that in the city fuel consumption is up to 12 liters (although according to passport data the car fits into the "top ten"). But still it is much less than that of gasoline. On the UMP-shnyh motors "Patriot" was incredibly voracious. The city "ate" up to twenty liters of gasoline. As for the unit 51432 ZMZ, its minimum consumption in real conditions is 8.5 liters (on the highway cruising - 80 km / h). Reviews of the owners say that if you have priority in efficiency, you should definitely pay attention to the diesel modification of the Patriot.
How is it going?
Even before entering the market diesel version reviewsmotorists noted the poor performance of gasoline engines. And all, even the three-liter. The car clearly lacked power, had to turn it up to four or five thousand. How does the car with the unit ZMZ-51432 behave on the road? "Patriot" is more frisky dynamics of acceleration. Torque is available almost from the bottom, and at the top - picks up the turbine. Maximum torque available in the range of two thousand revolutions. If you press the accelerator pedal at this point, you can feel a sharp pickup. However, after 80 thrust disappears. The car accelerates very slowly in the range of 80-100. By the way, the maximum speed of the car is 135 kilometers per hour.
True, it is not comfortable for the "Patriot"speed. First, the car is very difficult to gain. Secondly, the hard plastic in the cabin makes itself felt. Plus, the characteristic rumble of a diesel engine, which is difficult to remove even with several layers of noise insulation. Reviews of the owners say that the car is clearly not enough sixth gear. At 90 kilometers per hour, the engine is already gaining 3,000 revolutions (and for a diesel engine, this is a red line). By the way, the gearbox is used here from a gasoline engine (not the most technological solution). Therefore, it is possible that the UAZ will be further developed.
Off-road diesel
Perhaps its main advantage here.Unlike gasoline engines, 51432 ZMZ shows itself better in the absence of roads. Where a great moment was required, let this unit be tensioned, but surely pull the car out of the trap. On gasoline engines it was necessary to “play” often with clutch, and the thrust disappeared very quickly. Off-road diesel - the very thing that is necessary, note the reviews of the owners.
Constructive flaws "Patriot"
Drivers consider the low arrangement of bridges to the negative aspects of the “Patriot” design.
И если на 469-м проблема решалась установкой military bridges, here such a scheme is not a ride. Also on the "Patriot" is a problem with the doors - too small an angle of opening. This problem, perhaps, pursues the UAZ since the Soviet times, when the very “goat” appeared. Also, the quality of sound insulation has not improved. Already from the moment of purchase you have to self-paste the interior.
Prices and completing
The new UAZ "Patriot" will be available in several trim levels:
- "Standard".
- "Comfort".
- "Privilege".
- "Style".
For the base will have to pay 809 thousand rubles.This includes airbag, 16-inch pressed discs, power steering, power windows and ABS. The top grade is available for 1 million 30 thousand rubles.
This price includes 18-inch alloy wheels,full audio system with 7-inch multimedia screen and six speakers, rear view camera, ESP system, front and rear parking sensors, heated seats, climate control and even heated steering wheel. What can I say, a very good level of equipment at the "Patriot". The only question is the price. After all, in the secondary market there are lots of good copies for a lower cost.
Conclusion
So, we found out what feedback andtechnical characteristics of diesel UAZ "Patriot". As you can see, the power unit showed a very good side. Motor economical, well pulls and unpretentious to maintain. Perhaps this is the best unit for a car of this type.
