UAZ Pickup entered mass production in 2008. It was created on the basis all-wheel drive SUV UAZ Patriot.

UAZ Pickup received the last update in 2015. It has a 4-door 5-seater cab and a wheelbase extended to 3,000 mm. The current generation has also acquired many useful systems and options.

The car is equipped gasoline engine ZMZ 40906 series, corresponding to the Euro-5 class. Its volume is 2.7 liters, power - 134 liters. s., and torque - 217 N m at 3900 rpm. The motor is mated to a 5-speed mechanical box gears.

Max speed Pickup equals 140 km/h. When driving in urban mode, fuel consumption reaches 14.6 per 100 km; in the extra-urban cycle - 12 liters per 100 km.

UAZ Pickup has the following dimensions:

The updated UAZ Pickup retained all the advantages of a first-class cargo SUV, which is capable of both transporting cargo and delivering hunters and fishermen to the most inaccessible corners of our country:

• Volumetric cargo compartment - the volume to the side cover is 1181 liters, and with the kung - all 2243 liters. The width of the load compartment between the walls is 1500 mm (between the wheel arches - 1265 mm), and the length of the cargo compartment is 1375 mm.
• Load capacity - 725 kg, which is ideal not only for commercial purposes, but also for outdoor activities.
• Strong frame structure ensures reliability in the most difficult off-road conditions.
• hardwired four-wheel drive is carried out using a reliable Dymos transfer case with a gear ratio of 2.542.

From 2016, a differential lock is added to these advantages. rear axle from electronic control. The Eaton brand differential lock can be installed on any configuration and allows you to enhance off-road performance. To do this, simply press a button in the cabin.

UAZ Pickup is equipped with many different modern security systems. As part of the increase passive safety updated UAZ Pickup received:

• Driver and passenger airbags in all trim levels;
• Front belts with pretensioners, force limiters and new height adjusters.

For the first time, an extended active safety system based on ESP systems(in combination with anti-lock braking system ABS and brake force distribution EBD). Electronic system stabilization exchange rate stability(ESP) was introduced to the UAZ Pickup together with the German company Robert Bosch.

Add to list active systems security also includes:

• Traction Control System (TCS) controls engine torque and braking system to ensure the movement of the car without slipping of the drive wheels;
• Corner Brake Control (CBC) distributes braking force on each wheel when braking in a turn;
• Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) is activated during emergency braking to achieve more intense braking;
• Hill Start Assist (HHC) prevents the vehicle from rolling back on a slope by holding it stationary for two seconds;
• Off-Road mode is activated by a separate button on the center console to achieve more effective braking on loose surfaces.

To ensure safe parking, the updated UAZ Pickup uses a rear-view camera and parking sensors. In addition to the rear view camera, front parking sensors appear. They can be switched on and off separately using the button on the central tunnel.

UAZ Pickup has a modern interior and a large number of useful options that increase the level of comfort. The main element is the steering wheel - it is multifunctional and can be adjusted for reach and tilt. Cruise control and a speed limiter are also available for the car.

UAZ Pickup is seriously prepared for the cold season, it received heated front seats, rear window and side mirrors preheater programmable, heating the entire area windshield, rear seat heating and steering wheel heating. Single zone climate control is also available.

Test drive UAZ Pickup

July 2012

Unexpectedly - unexpectedly, an impromptu test drive of the UAZ-Pickup turned out. The fact is that Sollers provided us with a car to deliver humanitarian aid to Krymsk. And how is the car not checked on the road? Moreover, we have run over more than three thousand kilometers on it.

Finally, a few photos of the interior and engine compartment UAZ-Pickup:

We do not receive fines and will not come. The load capacity of our pickup truck, according to the manufacturer's data, - 725 kg, and in the certificate of registration vehicle it says “other cars”, while many foreign competitors were classified as flatbed trucks with a carrying capacity of more than a ton. Even if they carry only air in their bodies, it is clear to any sane person that they are buying them as a more affordable alternative to expensive SUVs. The difference between the curb and gross weights is more than 1000 kg - if you please, regularly pay fines from video cameras. Or change car...

The back seat comfortably accommodates two adults. But you have to sit like in school - with a straight back.

And we are overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude to the prudent UAZ people who left the car in the passenger category: we can freely drive even around the Kremlin itself. And we go.

By the way, doing this is more convenient than before, thanks to the fact that last year UAZ Patriot and pickup were subjected deep restyling(We talked about it in detail in No. 24/2014).

The cabin has become more comfortable, and appearance such that not only drivers, but also pedestrians look at the car. And the reason is clear - there are few such cars in Moscow. Yes, practically no. Alas, in January prices for Ulyanovsk products had to be raised due to the large number of imported components. And now our pickup costs 699,000 rubles. in the basic configuration "Classic". On the test, we have the most expensive version of the possible - "Limited", with diesel engine, which cost 879,990 rubles. even without the plastic cargo cover (hereinafter the prices are as of the end of February 2015).

By the way, about accessibility compared to an SUV. In our case, it is absent, since the usual Patriot, with a universal type closed body, the same diesel engine and in the same Limited configuration, costs 10,000 rubles cheaper. So you can buy this pickup truck only because of your great love for pickups. Which happens (and often) even among the townspeople.

The new instrument cluster is smarter than it should be for a pickup

In my opinion...

I'm sorry, did designers take part in restyling? That's just people with an art education, right? Or did they just order LED strips from the Chinese, cut them and put them into headlight blocks in place? The former UAZ looked, albeit old-fashioned, but harmonious, but this one is awkward and ridiculous. However, for the owner of "Patrick" design is not an argument. The main thing is the engine, and the ZMZ-51432 diesel engine, by the way, is not so bad. 270 Nm of torque is enough to pull more than two tons. But the peak torque range is very narrow: from 1800 to 2800 rpm. In urban mode, you have to develop the skills of a juggler, constantly poking the optimal gear. And when you turn on the odd ones, it's easy to pinch your fingers on the climate unit with the lever. One of the owners of the Patriot told me that he was pushing the lever forward with his fingers. This is a very Russian approach to "solving" the problem. It's like driving on a smoother shoulder instead of repairing the road.

In my opinion...

After restyling, it is more comfortable to sit than before, the finishing materials are better, the assembly is better. And still: the wheels are straight, and the steering wheel is turned 30 degrees clockwise. It’s clear, a new car, and 50 km is not on the odometer, they didn’t have time to fix it ... It is known that a normal uazovod starts life with new car only after a full pull. But our pickup truck is no longer so cheap to forgive him for the “crooked steering wheel”.

I turn the key in the ignition - I touch the alarm button, the UAZ buzzes with displeasure. Nothing, remember. With the turn of the key, a trembling from the diesel engine passes through the body, and in motion its knock blocks the dashing whistle of the turbine. Okay, the music is loud. So, what about the economy? 13.9 liters per "hundred" - a lot. After a five-hundred-kilometer long-distance trip along the M2, I lowered it to 12.5 liters. Still not the promised ten. During the trip, I noticed that I was more often in the right lane, among long-range trucks, than in the left lane, on the way of flying foreign cars. The right side is a little quieter. You have to work less with the steering wheel, gear lever, pedals ... And all the time you want to move out into the field. Yes, it’s not for nothing that in the registration certificate in the column “Vehicle Type” it is written: “Other cars”. Exactly!

In my opinion...

A couple of days before I happened to be driving an UAZ “full-size” pickup truck, an unusual version of the car caught on the road. Painted with flashes of fire, lifted, augmented power bumper, he proudly and slowly cut through the morning stream on the Garden Ring. And on the back side of it was a martial couplet: “No infection will take me! I am a Russian peasant, I am a UAZ driver!”

Not otherwise, the gender challenge of fate, you can’t call it otherwise. Moreover, it somehow happened so historically that before that, not a single UAZ SUV fell into my hands. And here at once such magnificence: for five meters of length, for two widths, height - under two meters. And on the "handle" with a diesel engine! Yes, along the narrow central Moscow streets: envy, Europe!

The pickup surprised me with quite adequate reactions to both the steering wheel and the pedals - to be honest, I expected it to be much worse. It’s hard, of course, but the car is not for “jewelry” work and poking through traffic jams. True, one more surprise saves - a rear-view camera, which I really did not expect to meet here. On a more or less high-speed straight, of course, you have to work behind the wheel - the car scours. And here climb into the snow failed during the week. Well, yes, the trouble is the beginning!

Outcome

Against two editors who have long loved heavy off-road vehicles and gave positive marks to the UAZ pickup truck, one fan of light and fast (read - sports) cars spoke out. And he took his short trip behind the wheel of an UAZ more like an attraction. And not the most pleasant, which he does not want to repeat. Alas, he probably never drove an UAZ outside the city, but where he belongs - on country roads, in muddy roads. But maybe someday it will happen, and then the view will change. It happens.

Thanks to the UAZ Patriot Pickup car provided by Sollers, we had the opportunity not only to get to Krymsk and deliver the cargo, but also to conduct a small test drive of the car, which included long journeys, and "domestic" off-road.

I want to make a reservation right away that this was not a full-fledged test drive, but rather the impressions of the car received as a result of traveling with a specific purpose, to a specific place ...

I owned a Mazda BT-50 pickup, but it was the first time I had a chance to drive and travel in a UAZ pickup. It is convenient to fit into the car interior with my height of 192 cm. It turned out right away. I had to slightly adjust the power rear-view mirrors and the seat cushion, which has several adjustments. I would like to notice an indistinct "0" on the mirror control panel: given the almost impossible setting to "0" and the location of the remote control, you can accidentally knock down the mirror settings right hand.

The first kilometers of the way showed that the first gear on the pickup is too "cargo", and not everyone will be able to start from the second one. In terms of comfort, UAZ is significantly superior to its counterpart from Japanese manufacturer. UAZ goes through bumps and speed bumps are much softer. Driving with an empty body can be quite comfortable, given that we are driving an almost five-meter off-road truck.

As a truck, UAZ Pickup is undoubtedly good ...

The high sides made it possible to load a lot of cargo, including a rather heavy generator and equipment. The trunk lid keeps the cargo dry and safe, has a lock, but is also equipped with internal stiffening ribs that hide the interior space a little.

It is difficult to exaggerate the off-road capabilities of UAZ. UAZ Patriot is used quite a lot both for expeditions and for off-road rides. The Pickup has more modest off-road performance due to the overhang, but high ground clearance and plug-in all-wheel drive quite allows you to get to hard-to-reach places, including with a load in the trunk.

We made several trips for cargo to the main camp and back. The car obediently took on the weight and dragged us back, making races through the streets littered with garbage ...

And now, it's time to go through the comments and "surprises" that awaited us along the way ...

After some time on the road, they discovered that the "engine malfunction" light was on with might and main. Euro 3 motor, means to reset the error on your own will not work and a test computer is needed. Just in case, we tried to disconnect the battery ... While we were "resetting" the terminals, we found that there was no diagnostic connector! Searched everything possible locations where he might have been, but was never found. Two experienced uazovod could not cope with the puzzle.

Looking ahead, I’ll say that another UAZ Patriot Pickup that was stopped was subjected to research, as a result of which the connector was found in one of the “official” places the first time. Our copy is exclusive. Most likely this is a feature of a particular car, which is not intended for sale, but delivered to the dealer as a test copy.

In addition, the malfunction did not affect fuel consumption, the engine continued to work properly, therefore, they simply scored a burning light bulb before returning to the service.

Consider the rest of the comments on the car, compare its pros and cons:

What would you like to improve:
- On the go, the RK handle rumbles quite loudly (namely, the handle). They say that this disease was fixed on the new UAZ Patriot, but we will definitely check it and tell you in the next posts.
- The buttons for closing the doors are quite tight, and in order to open the door, you have to open them, which is not very easy. It would be nice to be able to open a locked door using the door opening handle.
- The rear-view mirror control unit mentioned earlier is located directly under the right arm resting on the armrest and does not have a clear "0" position.
- It is inconvenient to open the upper glove compartment, and the cup holder strives to fly towards the rear passengers.
- The interior lighting does not have a position off, in addition, the front passengers have only "reading" lamps, in the complete absence of full-fledged lighting.

What we liked:
- Smooth running in comparison with fellow ideologists.
- A high-quality body cover, although it has some design flaws.
- High sides of the body.

And in conclusion, UAZ Patriot Pickup brought us to the Sea of ​​Azov, where we spent the night, swam and set off on the way back. I want to note that a long stay behind the wheel on the road was very well tolerated in the Pickup seats, and the high seating position made it possible to predict changes in the traffic situation in advance.

As a conclusion, I want to say that the UAZ Patriot Pickup has the right to exist, and it defends this right with quite serious justifications. Replacing the voracious 409 lighter with the quality diesel that promises to be new engine developed by Bosch-ZMZ, the car will be for a certain category of people, even more attractive than Japanese or American classmates for a number of reasons.

Personally, if I consider purchasing a Pickup in the future, I will first of all look at a pickup from UAZ, but on the condition that it is equipped with a good diesel unit ...

In the near future we will be able to test new UAZ A patriot with a new diesel engine, which we will tell you about from the pages of print and electronic publications. Follow the announcements!

I express my gratitude to the Sollers company and personally to Ekaterina Dudykina, as well as to the Tekhinkom car dealership and personally to Pavel Egorov for the UAZ Patriot Pickup car provided for the trip.
