At the numerous requests of the inhabitants of our country, who live in areas remote from cities, the UAZ company in 2008 began production of a small truck based on. After almost 8 years, the car receives the first major restyling and brings UAZ Cargo 2018 to the market. New model has a cabin similar to the Patriot, which is well equipped technically, as well as identical power units.
The muzzle of the car is a double cabin, almost completely copied from the Patriot. Differences can be found only in body kits and the presence of some relief.
The car consists entirely of straight parts and has almost no roundness in design. The hood is quite long and has several decorative stripes on the sides. In the center of the muzzle there is a rectangular radiator grille, consisting of a mesh with a small hole and a plastic frame. The triangular-shaped optics with halogen filling, already known to all, are also located here.
The cabin body kit is completely plastic and looks quite powerful. In the photo, you can highlight small recesses near the arches under the fog light, as well as several cutouts in the center, which give additional air flows to the motor.
On the sides new body strongly distinguished by stepped relief. The car here differs from the usual Patriot with a plastic lining over the arch, greatly reduced mirrors, very small windows, as well as a good step and off-road tires already in the base.
The car body can be either with an awning roof or without it. Maximum allowable weight, which can carry Cargo - 1500 kg, although according to the passport this value is only 800 kg. If the body has a roof, then the amount of free space will be as much as 6250 liters.
Salon
Almost everything that has in the cabin new Patriot, this truck will also receive, but not various assistants. New UAZ Cargo 2018 model year will be finished with either plastic and fabric, or leather with metal inserts.
Despite the fact that the car is a truck, it is able to please its owner with an excellent multimedia system, which is dominated by a small display in the center of the dashboard. It also houses the climate control settings and some adjustments.
The tunnel does not differ in luxury, but this does not make it less functional. You can find on it a parking brake, two handles for controlling the transmission, suspension and drive settings, several small openings for placing personal items and even an armrest.
The multimedia steering wheel was not presented, but even without it it looks quite stylish, which only improves the interior. The instrument panel is also as modest as possible. It consists of two small round elements that display data on the speed of the car and engine speed. There was a place between them and for on-board computer.
The car is distinguished by more or less comfortable seats, trimmed with fabric or leather, depending on the configuration. Of course, on long trips they will not provide a large number of amenities, but they are quite capable of providing comfort on our country roads. Of the additional equipment, it is worth noting heating and electronic adjustments, as well as quite good lateral support. The second row, respectively, the car does not have.
The rear of the car is made in the form of a chassis, which is quite convenient, because if desired, any buyer can then install even a van here. Although according to the passport the maximum carrying capacity of the car is only 800 kilograms, the suspension, thanks to an additional leaf spring, is able to withstand a load of up to one and a half tons.
Specifications
Unlike the Patriot, UAZ Cargo 2018 comes only with the familiar petrol unit, the working volume of which is 2.7 liters. To issue such a unit will be 135 Horse power.
The maximum possible speed of the car will be 135 kilometers per hour, and acceleration to a hundred, especially with a heavy load, will take forever, as shown by a test drive. The engine can only be controlled by manual box gears with five modes. She will help and four-wheel drive. All these characteristics do not make the car economical - the consumption in the city will reach 14 liters, and on the highway - 10.
For an additional fee of 70 thousand rubles, you can supply gas equipment. Diesels are not provided, since to install such an engine it was necessary to make significant changes in the body, which, apparently, is unrealistic for UAZ today.
Options and prices
The standard set of options for UAZ Cargo 2018 will not be able to provide the driver and passenger with comfortable movement even on a flat road. Of the equipment here, you can only find a stove, a cigarette lighter, cheap plastic and fabric trim, manual adjustments and power windows, simple multimedia, air conditioning and two airbags on the front of the car. The price of this set is 760 thousand.
A more charged version of the configuration looks much more attractive. There is already a climate system and seat heating, as well as their richer finishes, electric lifts for both windows, anti-lock braking system with stabilization, seat and mirror adjustment using actuators, good multimedia and various security systems. For such a modification, UAZ dealers will have to pay already 840 thousand Russian currency.
Release date in Russia
Since it is our market that is a priority for the company, the start of sales in Russia began almost immediately after the official presentation of the novelty - in the fall of 2017. In some other European and Asian countries, the device will arrive only in 2018.
Competitors
Most Cargo rivals are much more expensive, but are equipped with most modern systems. Particularly popular in our country are models such as the Hyundai H350 and.
Description UAZ CARGO
Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in early 2008 deployed mass production low-tonnage four-wheel drive Cargo pickups with a payload capacity of 800 kg on an extended chassis (base 3.0 m) of the Patriot SUV. The plumage and lighting equipment of the pickup cab are fully consistent with the passenger SUV in the basic version. Rear suspension reinforced. The equipment of the cabs and the instrument panel are also identical. UAZ Patriot. Body size - 2.47 × 1.86 m. The UAZ Cargo model is also offered in a chassis version with a cab for mounting various bodies, including a van type. Version 23632 with a double 5-seater cab and smooth sides of a single-side body is made in small series. The base engine was a 2.7-liter 128-horsepower ZMZ-409.10 Euro-3 level, and in the future a licensed FIAT turbodiesel will appear. The transmission with a 5-speed Dymos manual gearbox is equipped with a single-lever control range and externally connected clutches in the front wheel hubs. The basic equipment includes Delphi power steering and vacuum booster Conti Teves brakes. Additional equipment offers a removable fabric awning (Cargo), central locking, an electric sunroof, power windows for doors (23632), a protective arc in the body or a rigid plastic superstructure with glasses. Price (dealer, Moscow): UAZ Cargo - from 380,000 rubles.
Meeting the wishes of the market and its “customer core” (which is located in the villages), the designers of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 2008 launched the mass production of the UAZ Cargo pickup truck (factory code UAZ-23602-050), created on the basis of the UAZ Patriot (code UAZ- 3163).
It is worth noting the long process of the birth of this “off-road truck”: For about five years it was literally “sawed out” by selecting components, making them a car capable of satisfying the buyer ... Under the Simbir project, modern equipment was installed at the assembly plant, but the project was “successfully abandoned "... However, this equipment later came in handy just for the UAZ Patriot and UAZ Cargo projects ... By the way, rural drivers, sharp on words, expanded a number of names to Patrick and Patap (but associations about the word "Cargo" have not yet been noticed).
As a result of long-term research, it was decided to focus on the most objective simple version: the chassis of the "Patriot" was stretched to 3000 mm, they put a cropped cab on it (after all, everything has already been debugged in its production) and a platform with a wooden floor and metal sides from the "farmer" was attached to the back. And it was this simple and logical option that worked - the truck turned out to be a success ... and, taking advantage of stable demand, it was updated “synchronously” with the base model.
Whatever skeptics say, according to one of the owners of UAZ Cargo, “before discussing it, one would have to drive this car.” He says this after having covered 150,000 km, when, after prolonged rains, he got out more than once with a couple of carcasses of two-year-old bulls from a country road ... By the way, by inserting an extra sheet into the spring and putting on truck tires, this harvester calmly transports one and a half tons (according to technical passport carrying capacity of "Cargo" - 800 kg) ... According to many drivers, it is also pleasing that (relative to the popular "loaves") an "extra meter of life" has been added to UAZ Cargo - from the bumper to the driver.
From a technical point of view, UAZ Cargo is a typical example of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. It is a two-door, two-seat truck-chassis with a permanent rear wheel drive and hard-wired front.
The cabin from the "Patriot" in the most natural way differs from the budget cabin "loaves".
What's more, the front suspension with Elastogran components (manufactured by a division of BASF) ensures high driving comfort on rural roads. Drivers are surprised at the feeling of permissiveness that Cargo inspires - they do not slow down even in front of deep pits.
The appearance of the cabin is replete with smooth lines. The cabin meets the expectations of rural drivers and even exceeds them. Overview, optics, side mirrors, bumper - when meeting at a traffic light, all this creates the impression of a meeting with an imported SUV.
And the metallic coloring, as well as the overlays and shields, enhance the favorable impression.
As already noted, the UAZ Cargo 23602 car can be supplied in the form of a chassis (only with taillights) - this option is convenient for the subsequent installation of various superstructures (the most popular are manufactured goods and isothermal vans, although you can find other options specially adapted to the needs of the owners ).
And also - an onboard cargo platform (it is supplied both in a "pure form" and equipped with an awning). The luggage space under the awning is 6250 liters and allows you to transport bulky structures.
In some cases, the internal comfort of UAZ Cargo is even excessive for the conditions in which these trucks are operated. Everything is beautiful, but cheap plastic betrays itself.
In continuation of the conversation about the technical characteristics of the UAZ Cargo 23602 - the truck is equipped with gasoline engine ZMZ-40906. A high-torque engine with a volume of 2.7 liters produces a maximum power of 135 forces. Together with a five-speed manual transmission this engine allows you to accelerate "Cargo" to a speed of 135 km / h.
Fuel consumption (AI92 gasoline) for this truck is about 14 liters "in the city" or 12 liters per 100 km of track "on a country road at a speed of 90 km / h." Volume fuel tank- 68 liters ... By the way, gas equipment can be installed as an option (cost 60 ~ 80 thousand rubles).
Long-standing talk about equipping these vehicles with a diesel engine has so far only ended with the fact that the Patriot received an Iveco F1A engine (and then “occasionally”), but not this truck. The fact is that this required the modernization of the frame (front spars), the development of a new frame engine compartment, development new system cooling system, the development of a new exhaust system… It is quite obvious that the UAZ Cargo project has not yet “accumulated funds” to carry out such serious design changes... and therefore the timing of equipping the UAZ Cargo with a diesel engine is still unknown.
All talk about the shortcomings of the truck comes down to obvious trifles. According to drivers, the disadvantages include simple factory imperfections or naturally occurring defects: all the clamps are not tightened (this happens even on foreign cars), a burst fuel line hose, a defect expansion tank and similar little things that are solved very simply.
The recommended cost of UAZ Cargo at dealers in 2017 is from ~ 767 thousand rubles “in the base” to ~ 839 thousand in the “Comfort” configuration (with air conditioning and power accessories). For this class of cars, the price is quite democratic.
In order to "break" the sad statistics of sales at UAZ, they decided to beat off part of the audience that uses GAZelles.
For this, it was announced that in 2017 it will be released new modification UAZ Cargo with a carrying capacity of one and a half tons.
Of the announced innovations: The drive is only for rear axle, which in turn changes. The cabin will be triple. Wheelbase the car will increase, the cargo platform will also lengthen.
The cabin has become a triple (although it is designed for thin passengers)
Disks and hubs from GAZelle
Front suspension from UAZ Patriot. Only instead of the crankcase of the bridge - an ordinary pipe on which the steering knuckles are installed.
Rear axle from GAZelle
Oversized body 3,040 x 1,880 x 1,550 mm. (For reference, the internal dimensions of the body of the short-base Gazelle are 3,056 x 1,978 x 1,565 mm).
In this version, the new UAZ Cargo is unpromising. Let's see what Ulyanovsk will show on a serial copy.
First industrial design UAZ Cargo 2017 was captured in Ulyanovsk in February 2017.
He hit the camera lens of Ivan Sedov, who shared his photos via Facebook.
This instance is again in all-wheel drive. Although there should definitely be a mono-drive version, but so far it has not come into view.
The cabin of the new UAZ Cargo features smaller headlights, a larger grille and a different bumper. Obviously, the new "muzzle" is simpler and cheaper to manufacture the current one.
The motor will be ZMZ-409, but its power will be increased by changing the valve timing and increasing the compression ratio.
There are rumors that new UAZ Cargo, along with the Patriot family, will receive an imported diesel engine, Chinese BAIC Yuchai YC4Y with a volume of 2.2 liters. Or maybe it will be an Indian mHawk from Mahindra, also with a volume of 2.2 liters. But for now, these are just rumors.
At the beginning of April 2017, UAZ announced that the new Cargo would be released in late May, early June 2017.
Around the same time, documents with the type approval of the vehicle became available, from which you can find out the following:
