13 September 2018

The new model will be great and hybrid

Only recently became aware of the fact that the UAZ refuse the development of its first crossover as now the management of the company opened more detailed plans for the future. It turns out that after a couple of years, you may receive a fundamentally new SUV.

That said the General Director of Sollers (UAZ owns) Vadim Shvetsov during Eastern economic forum: "we plan in 2020-2021 years is that we will be releasing a brand new car with brand new e-infrastructure".

As said the head of the company, the new model will be quite large. While the model line-up will include even the hybrid version. Whether we are talking about "unleashed 2"? And again, the car will be great and modern, it is relatively inexpensive and utilitarian SUV (i.e. "Patriot") will remain in the past?

No, "Patriot" will remain with us. He'll just go to the segment of low-cost. This approach, Mr. Shvetsov compared with the release of "hunter" which is "the most affordable frame SUV for explorers of the village".

The head of Sollers said about the upcoming modernization of the "Patriot". He once again confirmed that in 2019 domestic SUV will finally get "automatic". It will be hydraulic box 6L50 company Punch Powertrain. In the world, this six-speed transmission better known under the name GM 6L50, since it is widely used on General Motors vehicles.

It is possible the appearance of the diesel version. However, this is stated with uncertainty: "This decision, frankly, has been worked, so it is possible that in the line of UAZ will appear diesel engine". In this case speech does not go about creation of the diesel engine ZMZ petrol on the basis that such experience was found to be ineffective.

Reset "Patriot" postpet on sale in the first half of 2019.
