In Moscow has passed the test UAZ Patriot with automatic transmission

6 August 2019

In the framework of the pre-production run of UAZ patriot with automatic transmission was screened in the capital's dealers

We already wrote about the mileage UAZ Patriot with automatic from 29 July to 14 August in seven cities, including Moscow. And now, in two Metropolitan dealerships (tekhinkom-MKAD and Torgmash-South) took a test race for everyone (all pre-registered on a special page of the corporate website of UAZ devoted to mileage).

"Two pedal drive" UAZ will be available in four versions: "Optimum Machine" (3163-286-60) the price is ₽1 million 34 thousand, "Premium Machine" (3163-386-60) – 1 million 180 thousand, "Status "Automatic" (3163-486-60) – over 1 million 268 thousand, "EDITION I, the Machine" over 1 million 298 thousand

The difference between these models is mainly in the installation of new seats sample of 2019 (with adjustable driver's seat height and lumbar support and heating), interior decoration, dimension (16 or 18 inch) and design light-alloy wheels wheels and availability of optional packages, primarily for the basic version, such as "Winter optimum" heated front seats only, (other – package "Winter prestige" heated rear since heated front seats are already included in the equipment), "Climate" with insulated glass and simple odnotonovye climate control, "Safe Parking" with Parking sensors and camera in the rear door handle, Media with multimedia system with 7-inch touchscreen, navigation with maps HA, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine (!) system ERA-GLONASS and 6 loudspeakers. But the parquet "Offroad" is placed on all versions and includes protection of the machine and rods and the winch. Packages "Leather black" and "brown Skin" is designed only for standard seats and trim "Premium" and "Status".

Regarding the main spice – hydrotransformer 6L50 automatic Punch with manual management said that it is maintenance-free and all its 9.6 litres special hydrotransformer oil (ATF) – DEXTRON VI do not change during the entire term of service as the oil filter. The warranty on the automatic transmission is 3 years or 150 000 km of run depending on what comes before.

Automatic transmission produced at the plant Punch Powerglide Strasbourg in the vicinity of Strasbourg, France in the Saar, so to skimp on quality in Ulyanovsk certainly did not, but here such a tangible mark on "two pedal drive" version of almost a hundred thousand. Although the suspension settings and did not change (the difference in weight of the automatic transmission m / t only 33 kg), but in addition seriously modified the cooling system in the integration of the "machine" at Oise at the same time re-shaping the front part of the floor, created a new engine mount and another secured the exhaust system (however, some testers, and the tone is still not much). Meanwhile, in the cabin of the Patriot was almost as quiet as in the salons saturated with foreign cars counterparts.

PS Your experience will Express in the traditional heading of ' follow-up: Better late than never. Dynamics Patriot with automatic transmission, I personally seemed quite decent, although, of course, already on the test were skeptics who govorili that the dynamics at "only" polutorachasovom atmospheric engine ZMZ Pro is weak and the settings "automatic" Punch 6L50 still not fully debugged. And the instructor warned that they chose to disable the feature of adaptability is under the test where every five minutes behind the wheel of a new driver with their skills and temperament, and this function is very slow work box. And yet, given that is a pre-production machine I can confidently say that the "machine" into the UAZ finally got up. That is not the very latest 8-speed 8L50, and 6-speed 6L50, produced since 2006, but the exhaust on the BMW X3, Chevrolet Camaro coupe and a scattering of Cadillac models. This model is "machine" Punch 6L50, elaboration of the GM, already produced 2 million copies, features an increased margin of safety, so that he is able to work in conjunction with motor power up to 320 HP and torque of 500 N•m.
Of course, due to the influx of people wishing to drive a two pedal drive Patriot test drive was too short and may not have been natural, but the dynamics in a passenger seat, for example, is felt even more intensely than directly behind the wheel. What automatic 6-speed, I think just quite to face Uazu, which tries to combine a significant upgrade of its core SUV with saving for it for quite affordable prices.

P. P. S. was also Able to ride on "chip-tuning" of the 180-strong Oise with the "mechanics", prepared directly by the dealer "Torgmash 88 km of MKAD". I must say that this car surprised its real power and a certain brutal charisma, especially in contrast to the intelligent machine, however, just on it-and it would be good to use the machine, but obviously much more spirited dynamics of the selectivity of the "pen" leaves much to be desired. So that Uazu has room to grow, you might need to take an intermediate chip tuning "Torgmash" with the iteration of 170 HP (deep chip tuning up to 180-185 HP according to the Manager is six times more expensive and takes a few days) as standard for the top version of the Patriot with automatic transmission?
