They are equipped with specialized dampers The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant has made changes to the models of the “new model range”, making them more comfortable. This applies primarily to the Patriot SUV, as well as the Pickup and Pro, which are now equipped with specialized dampers for the transmission control levers, as reported by Quto. The dampers, according to the plant, are aimed at reducing vibrations and increasing acoustic comfort in the cabin. And although initially they were installed only on cars with the Limited package, they are now built into all versions of the Patriot, Pickup and Pro. At the same time, the cost of cars remained the same. The interior of the UAZ “Patriot”, “Pickup” and “Profi” has become more comfortable and quieter [caption id="attachment_83823" align="aligncenter" width="780"] UAZ[/caption] In August, UAZ began producing Patriots with a modernized rear suspension. The main innovation is the appearance of a third leaf spring, which reduces sagging of the rear part of the body under load, reduces vibrations on uneven roads and has a beneficial effect on the stability and controllability of the car. Work on restyling the UAZ Patriot has started at the new Sollers Product Development Center in Kazan. It is planned not only to seriously update the appearance of the SUV, but also to introduce a new transmission with a manual gearbox and a diesel engine, which will give the car additional dynamics.

Sollers launched production of JAC turbodiesels in the summer Details have become known about how the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant will introduce Chinese turbodiesels into its line of cars. The information is revealed in a documentary about UAZ from 73Online. According to the source, first the JAC turbodiesel will be installed in the UAZ Profi, and then the turn will come to the Patriot.

The first of the UAZs to receive the JAC turbodiesel "Profi" [caption id="attachment_82791" align="aligncenter" width="780"] UAZs[/caption] As reported in July, Sollers launched production of JAC turbodiesels at its plant in Yelabuga. We are talking about turbodiesels with a volume of 2 liters (130 hp and 288 N•m) and 2.7 liters (150 hp and 355 N•m). Such engines are installed on Sollers Atlant and Sollers Argo commercial vehicles.

UAZ has expanded the capabilities of its branded online car ordering service The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant offered customers a new opportunity: instead of going to a dealer, a car can be ordered directly at the factory. This option appeared in the company’s online configurator. True, the ordered car will have to wait a long time. [caption id="attachment_81221" align="aligncenter" width="780"] UAZ[/caption] UAZ can now be ordered directly from the factory “ The car configurator has been running on the official website for several years now. First of all, it allows you to purchase a car without additional dealer markups for options. What’s new is that previously it allowed you to place an order with a dealer, but now - directly at the factory. The purchase period depends on the availability of a specific configuration. For pre-orders, the wait will be 3-6 months ,” said a UAZ representative. Now users have a choice: order a car from a dealer with an overpayment of 50 thousand rubles (from now on, delivery of cars to a UAZ dealer is paid - just like with dealers in the USA), or pick up the car directly at the factory, saving 50 thousand rubles. The only difference is that the factory will be able to pick up the car no earlier than three months later, while the dealer may have it a week or several weeks later. Moreover, in both cases, a potential UAZ buyer can configure the car himself: choose the color and options. Let us remind you that AvtoVAZ previously introduced a similar service, and it is in demand among potential buyers of Lada cars.
