7 September 2018

Domestic SUV once again became better

September 20 will begin production once again, the updated "Patriot". This time the manufacturer decided to focus on the technical stuffing, so that a visually updated version indistinguishable from the original.

In the photos the interior experienced "Wisowaty" 'll notice an important metamorphosis: on the front roof rack came handles! How old are the owners of the "Patriot" asked the factory to install them?

No less important is hidden under the hood of the reform. In the domestic SUV will be a 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 current "Patriot" 135 "horses"). The developers changed the timing and increased the compression ratio from 9.1:1 to 9.8:1.

Plus, the engineers installed an upgraded clutch, which helped to reduce his stress off. Also, "the Patriot" received a new front axle with open steering knuckles. Among other innovations, the factory workers have noted enhanced tie-line and is reduced by 0.8 meter radius. And lightweight rear spring increased the comfort of passengers.

But the "machine" will have to wait: as before, its implementation is scheduled for spring 2019. Expected that "Patriot" will get a six-speed automatic transmission 6L50 French company Punch Powertrain, which previously was widely used on General Motors vehicles.

Two months ago, UAZ announced another joyous event: motors "UAZ" has ceased to flow. On ZMZ has launched a new robotic line, which is responsible for the application of the sealant on the oil sump of the engine. Previously, this operation was done manually. Exclusion of the human factor allowed to reduce the number of marriage. According to representatives of factory, now oil leak between engine block and oil sump are eliminated in full.
