Overall Rating
UAZ Patriot:
The UAZ Patriot is a mid-size body-on-frame SUV produced by the UAZ division of Sollers in Ulyanovsk, Russia. It was introduced in 2005 and replaced the older UAZ Simbir. Extensive use of newer parts, large carrying capacity, good off-road capabilities and an affordable price predicted good sales in Russia; 12,011 units were sold in the year 2007.
The SUV accommodates five adults and can carry about 200 kilograms of cargo.
In October 2011, UAZ announced the release of a limited edition SUV in honour of the 70th anniversary of the plant. Cars of the anniversary series have different exterior and interior trim details.
In May 2012, the plant built a restyled model of the UAZ Patriot with a different dashboard, which no longer had a handle for the front passenger. It had a new, safer four-spoke steering wheel from the Japanese Company Takata-Petri, 2DIN media player and a USB-connector for flash drives....(Read more on Wikipedia)
3163 Overview:
UAZ Patriot (3163). With 218 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. At around 2070 kg, it’s on the heavier side. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. The top speed reaches 150 km/h. A rugged vehicle built to handle rough terrains and challenging driving conditions. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The UAZ Patriot 3163 generation was not officially tested by Euro NCAP. Safety standards for vehicles primarily sold in specific markets like Russia often differ, with a focus on structural integrity over advanced passive safety systems.
2.7 i 16V (128 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offering slightly more peak horsepower but less torque than the diesel, this gasoline engine provides acceptable performance for general driving. It may feel less robust for heavy off-road tasks compared to the diesel.
Fuel Economy
The combined fuel consumption of 13.2 l/100 km is high, typical for a large displacement gasoline engine in a heavy off-roader of this era. This makes it less economical for daily use or long trips.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Excellent off-road capability due to robust chassis and high ground clearance
- • Simple, repairable mechanics
- • Spacious interior and large cargo capacity
- • Affordable purchase price and maintenance in its target markets
- • Rugged and durable construction
Cons:
- • Poor on-road refinement and comfort
- • High fuel consumption, especially for the gasoline engine
- • Basic interior quality and limited modern features
- • Lack of advanced safety features and poor crash test ratings (ARCAP)
- • Noisy cabin and harsh ride
