In March of 2019 will be "automatic" and a more powerful motor

Many rightly believe UAZ "Patriot" archaic model: its production started in 2005, and many fundamental aspects for the past 13 years has not changed. If we add here the story of the model UAZ-3160, which built the "Patriot", the domestic SUV at all for 21 years. But it is periodically updated. For example, in the foreseeable future he will be the "machine", more powerful motor and other long-awaited news.

Rumors about the imminent introduction of the automatic transmission been around for many years. The portal is now RCI reports that "Patriot" will finally get a new transmission in 2019. It is expected that this will be the model 6L50 French company Punch Powertrain. In the world, this six-speed box is more known under the name GM 6L50, since it is widely used on General Motors vehicles.

By the standards of the Oise 6L50 is a very fresh unit: it began in 2006. This "machine" was installed on many models of Cadillac, Chevrolet and Holden, but by the current moment many of them have moved on to more modern powertrain. Interesting point: soon the same automatic transmission will appear in the "GAZelle Next".

The second important piece of news will become more powerful motor. Call it the new is impossible, because it is already installed on the Oise "Pro". We are talking about the engine ZMZ-409051.10 capacity of 150 horsepower. The developers changed the timing and increased the compression ratio from 9.1:1 to 9.8:1.

The advent of automatic transmissions and a more powerful motor is very good news. But the question is how much it will cost you a "Patriot". Now the price of the domestic SUV starts from 719 000 rubles, while the cost of a richer version goes for a million.
