Simbir is a model of an all-terrain vehicle produced at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 2000-2005. Subsequently, it was replaced on the assembly line by the UAZ Patriot - a similar model that inherited the body and fundamental technical solutions, including Spicer-type axles, a five- or nine-seat interior design and engines from the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant. Although the Patriot's ancestor looks rougher, its appearance seems harmonious - before us is an ordinary, courageous jeep with “hewn” shapes, simple rectangular headlights, a vertical radiator grille and a small bumper, from under which the chassis components peek out. In turn, the UAZ Simbir 3162 is the successor to the UAZ-3160 model and is its extended version. Over the years of production, power units have been constantly improved, so it is not surprising that there are many modifications of “60” and “62” UAZs, under the hood of which you can find gasoline or diesel engines with a volume of 2.2 to 2.9 liters and power from 96 to 132 hp One thing remained unchanged - all-wheel drive with a manual front axle and a manual transmission.

The short-wheelbase UAZ 3160 can be considered the first representative of a new wave of UAZs. Work on the car began in the 80s, and in the early 90s the first samples appeared that could be shown to the public. The car received a modernized frame chassis of its predecessor (UAZ-3153) and a completely new all-metal body. A new feature is also the interior, which is close in comfort to passenger cars, something that previous UAZs could not boast of. For example, the seats here are equipped with headrests, the driver's seat has an increased range of adjustments, including even lumbar support. The usual “passenger car” front panel, although a legacy of the 70s-80s, is much more convenient and functional than that of any UAZ of previous years. In 2000, the first serial UAZ-3162 Simbir appeared with an enlarged wheelbase and a modernized chassis, as well as Spicer axles. The improvement of the car continued, and it received a more or less finished look in the guise of the 2004 UAZ Simbir, presented in the Standard (31622-70) and Comfort (31622-100) trim levels. The standard equipment includes fog lights, multifunctional steering column switches, electric heating and a rear door window wiper, central locking, and audio preparation. The Comfort package offers a more modern dashboard, as well as a full power package (adjustable and heated side mirrors, sunroof drive, power windows for the front doors).

Initially, the UAZ 3160 and UAZ 3162 were equipped with carburetor engines 421.10 (2.9 l, 115 hp) produced by UMP and ZMZ, then more modern engines with distributed injection 4213.10 (2.9 l, 104 hp) appeared under the hood. . Even more power is available in versions with 2.7-liter ZMZ-409.10 and ZMZ-4092.10 engines (128 and 132 hp). If we talk about diesel versions, the first option to appear was with the Italian VM-425 diesel engine, which was “registered” in the UAZ-31604 model: direct injection, displacement 2.5 liters, power 103 hp. (at 4200 rpm) and an impressive torque of 235 Nm (at 2000 rpm). The performance of our own turbodiesel ZMZ-5143.10 is slightly more modest - 96-98 hp. and 216 Nm of torque. If we talk about fuel consumption, the UAZ does not complain about a lack of appetite - only the declared consumption in the extra-urban cycle is 12.5 l/100 km for carburetor engines and 10.4-10.7 l/100 km for injection engines. Diesel engines are lower - 8.2-13.5 l/100 km are stated in the combined cycle. The SUV is equipped with two tanks that hold 85-90 liters of fuel.

UAZ 3160/3162 has dependent suspension both front and rear. At the front there is a spring suspension with anti-roll bar. The rear axle is mounted on two longitudinal semi-elliptical leaf springs. The steering of the car is of the “screw-ball nut” type with a hydraulic booster and an adjustable steering column. The drive is permanent rear, with a rigidly connected front axle. Transfer case 2-speed with reduction gear. The 3160 featured new Spicer-type axles with a one-piece housing and quick-connect couplings for the front axle axle shafts. The design of the brakes was finalized together with specialists from the Lucas company - ventilated disc brakes in front with two-piston calipers, drum brakes in the rear with automatic clearance adjustment. The spacious luggage compartment has a volume of 630 liters for the short-wheelbase (2400 mm) 7-seater version and 1520 liters for cars with a wheelbase of 2760 mm and a 9-seater interior. At maximum load, the useful volume increases to 2833 and 3490 liters, respectively.

Although the safety indicators of these UAZ models are far from modern standards, the modernization has made the car a little better in this regard. For example, thanks to the intermediate cardan shaft in the steering and the splined connection, the steering wheel is injury-proof. The compact spring front suspension made it possible to make the side members at the front of the frame energy-absorbing. The car received three-point inertia-type seat belts and an additional brake light.

The UAZ 3160 and the 3162 Simbir, created on its basis, are the choice for those who need a serious SUV, practical, maintainable, even if it is of an archaic design. The UAZ Simbir of recent years of production (2003-2005) deserves more interest in terms of configuration, especially in the Comfort configuration. These cars have fewer differences from the first Patriots (except for the exterior and some details in the interior) and even on the website their owners often post advertisements in the “Patriot” section. In general, when purchasing, what is more important is not so much the year of manufacture of the car, but the price and level of technical condition, as well as the required investments.

Read completely

It must combine all the positive qualities of an all-terrain vehicle and a city car. Based on this, Ulyanovsk engineers created a completely new model of the UAZ Simbir SUV.

This car, unlike its predecessors, has become more comfortable, powerful and easy to drive. When you see it, it’s immediately clear that the car is designed for operation in any conditions (this is a distinctive feature of all UAZs).

History of creation

Initially, model 3162 was built on the base, which was mass-produced for seven years, from August 1997 until 2004. The new UAZ Simbir was an improved version of this model, distinguished by a long wheelbase and a new bridge. And it was produced since April 2000. A lot of time has passed since then, during which the Russian SUV has proven itself to be excellent. UAZ "Simbir" - reviews from the owners were very flattering. Buyers had the opportunity to purchase a 6-seater Ulyanovsk SUV in a luxury version with 3 rows of seats, as well as a mechanical headrest adjustment system.

Review of design and technical characteristics.

Many will agree that "Simbir" had a rather attractive appearance, which emphasized the solidity of its owner. The car body was made of very high quality (this applies to both design and its strength). Now the jeep has become more stable on sharp turns, and also developed greater speed.

The interior of the new model has become more spacious. The front seats have also changed - now traveling by car no longer tires the driver and his passengers. The rear seats can easily be folded, which significantly increases the volume of the trunk (however, it was already very roomy).

UAZ "Simbir" is equipped with a radio, air conditioning, electric windows and headlight cleaners. It also has central locking and a sunroof in the cabin.

A word about the engine

Until 2001, the new product was equipped with a brand. After that, a more modern and powerful engine of the same brand began to be installed on the SUV. A year later, the company produced a new line of UAZ "Simbir" with ZMZ turbodiesel engines.

UAZ through the eyes of consumers

The Russian UAZ "Simbir" jeep could boast of its excellent cross-country ability, high maintainability, and unpretentiousness in maintenance. But numerous factory defects (including engine defects, increased clutch wear and frequent power steering breakdowns) negatively affected the reputation of Ulyanovsk SUVs. Sometimes people called it “a harmful and naughty car.” Initially, our domestic auto industry was famous for its unfinished cars.

However, the engineers' attempt to update the outdated model 469 (the legendary UAZ Bobik) was not in vain. The new SUVs had many advantages over their “ancestors”. But still, there are no ideal cars in the world, and each of them has its own shortcomings.

Detailed characteristics UAZ 3162 in numbers, among the most important ones that are most often paid attention to are - price in rubles at the time of appearance in car dealerships and consumption fuel in various conditions: city highway or mixed, as well as full and loaded weight. Also important are dimensions And trunk volume ground clearance maximum speed acceleration up to 100 km in seconds or the time spent covering 402 meters. Transmission automatic, mechanical; drive unit rear front or full, or maybe even switchable

Main indicators of UAZ 3162 2000 SUV Simbir characteristics of UAZ 3162

With an engine capacity of 2693 cc. occasionally you can allow yourself to rev the engine to the maximum and feel like a racer.

A drive that requires special driving skills and getting used to in the case of driving with a different type of drive. For so much low price cars are considered budget since you just get a car to drive and nothing more, but in some cases this is the only purpose without any beauty. You don't need more to get around the city. Perhaps the slogan for such a vehicle is not “The miser pays twice.”

Andrey Mochalov 31.10.2011 : “I went through everything I could, changed the axles, rebuilt the gearbox twice, the wiring was burnt out, the internal combustion engine sounds good but also requires a lot of investment. My wife doesn’t talk anymore. The idea was good, but that’s how it usually happens in Russia. There is a problem with spare parts; it is difficult to find something. The box is made in Russia. Only a deeply religious person can drive a car; you never know what else could happen.

Ilya Chugunov 06.06.2011 : “tall, beautiful, stupid. After running every 1000 km for a week, you lie under it - beauty. but what a review it is - just a miracle. In the city, of course, it is of no use; if there is no tint, it is simply dangerous to leave anything in the car. but on rough terrain this review is very helpful
pendant neither in... nor in the Red Army. and with spare parts it’s just terrible - not a single manufacturer gives a guarantee for gearbox spare parts! (this is if the gearbox is from Arzamas) the piston one can also not be found in every store (even UAZ). with the rigid fastening of the engine cooling radiator, the developers clearly made a mistake. but the pleasant sound of a THREATENING-HISING GUR will never let you forget about itself.”

Vladimir:) 22.09.2010 : “I bought it two months ago, but during this time the car showed its best side in all directions: both on the highway and off-road. The car was completed with my own hands: the leather seats from the AUDI A6 fit like a glove - the comfort has increased, the seats with an electric lift are very easy to use, the only thing that had to be altered was the fastenings for the seats, from UAZ ones to Audi ones. Good tires - they showed themselves in handling both on the highway and off-road. Not expensive to maintain, spare parts are reasonably priced. I drive on gas, consumption in the city is 13.5-15 liters per 100 km, depending on how you stomp, on the highway at a speed of 90 km/h - 11.5 liters per 100 km, and at a speed of 120 km/h - 13 liters per 100 km, the combined cycle comes out somewhere 13l per 100km. And on gasoline, highway 10 liters per 100 km at a speed of 90 km/h, city 12 liters per 100 km, for a jeep this is quite economical. At the age of 22, I never dreamed of such a car, but I turned up and bought it, I don’t regret it. The music is good, the interior area is large, what else does a young person need. I wouldn’t even think of exchanging it for a foreign car.
The big minus is that the front axle couplings are very weak, they will break immediately if you pull sharply at good speeds, there is only one way out, buy stronger cast iron ones for almost 3000 rubles, but even those will not last forever. And the fact that there is a leak on the pan is a disease for UAZs, even PATRIOTS are snotty.”

Oleg Yakushev 03.07.2009 : “I bought it used. Large, roomy, I would like more comfort and maneuverability in limited space and when parking (in the summer you will sweat, in the winter you will warm up). The transmission is noisy, but tolerable. The cross-country ability is decent. Narrow glue, hence the uncertainty when driving with a roll. On the highway, if you don’t drive over 110 km/h (according to the documents, 150, but I wouldn’t dare to make sure:()), more than that, it starts to yaw and jump. In principle, you have to steer before that (the intensity depends on the condition of the road surface), but not much tense. Good throttle response, but at first - sluggish, then - sharp brakes, so you have to take this into account and find a compromise. Poor information content of the steering wheel (too light in motion for me) In general, an ordinary workhorse. Enough advantages (spacious in the cabin, quite comfortable , load-carrying capacity, cross-country ability), and quite a few disadvantages (darkness of the interior, noisy transmission, clanking of metal parts of the seats, the backs of the rear seats are uncomfortable (the front ones are quite decent), Heavy clutch - replaced with Luk (it became lighter, but not radically), not very good handling especially on asphalt, you need to get used to the brakes, but it’s better to make a reserve distance to the front ones and make sure that you don’t hang from behind (however, few people risk this :)) Fuel consumption: city - 13-16 liters; highway - at a speed of 90-110 about 10 (+/-) I’m going to sell, but I don’t know what to buy TagAZ Road Partner or UAZ Patriot
1. Snotty axles, pan and box - I tried to treat it, but it didn’t help for long; 2. Small things get in the way (not to say that often, but it doesn’t let you relax :)); 3. In summer the fuel pump gets hot; 4. The power steering pump bracket has burst. It turned out to be a rather scarce and expensive piece of hardware (2500 rubles); 5. The thermostat has failed. 6. On the road (somewhat damaged), the shaking unscrewed one bolt and cut off the second engine, as a result it fell from the mounting pad, tore off the pipes, and sprayed antifreeze. 7. The clutch slave cylinder has leaked (replaced); 8. At 60,000 the clutch was damaged (replacement); 9. Various small things...”

Although the Patriot's ancestor looks rougher, its appearance seems harmonious - before us is an ordinary, courageous jeep with “hewn” shapes, simple rectangular headlights, a vertical radiator grille and a small bumper, from under which the chassis components peek out. In turn, the UAZ Simbir 3162 is the successor to the UAZ-3160 model and is its extended version.

In general, when purchasing, what is more important is not so much the year of manufacture of the car, but the price and level of technical condition, as well as the required investments.

The domestic automotive market makes an excellent offer for SUV lovers - UAZ Simbir. This car is very comfortable and can easily cover kilometers of off-road terrain.

When buying a UAZ Simbir, you are definitely purchasing a full-size SUV, which has a wheelbase of 2760 mm, and its load capacity and passenger capacity are significantly higher than those of the UAZ-3160.

The history of the UAZ Simbir

The history of this domestic SUV began in the 90s. XX century. The ancestor of Simbir can be called the UAZ-3160, which was demonstrated at various exhibitions at the end of the last century. At the same time, the developers created a new all-metal body, installed passenger seats in the cabin with headrests, adjustments, including lumbar support. Also in this model there were new axles, the advantage of which was the quick coupling of the axle shafts. This is how the domestic SUV turned out.

But at the end of the century, the developers realized that the modern driver is in dire need of an extended version of the car. This is how the 9-seater model with the index 3162 appeared. But in addition to the number, this car also received its own name, Simbir.

And as practice shows, the consumer appreciated the new development of automakers. Today people want to buy a UAZ Simbir in different parts of the Russian Federation, and not only that.

The exterior of the car turned out to be much more harmonious than that of the model under the symbol 3160. This was facilitated by the proportionally wide rear doors. The number of seats for passengers in Simbir has been increased. But this is not the main thing: the car has become smoother while driving, and also more stable.

Modern offers from UAZ

The UAZ Simbir SUV differs from its predecessor in the presence of a hydraulic booster, which greatly facilitates control. Models 3162 are offered to the buyer with the so-called complete package, which includes central locking, tinted windows, and electric windows. The car is also equipped with a radio and air conditioning. There are also such delights as brushed headlight cleaners and a sunroof. It seems that the experience of working on Simbir was very successful, because since 2001 the manufacturer began to practice custom work. There is a luxury version of the UAZ Sambir, its photos perfectly demonstrate the six-seater version of the car, which has the index UAZ-31622-100. There are three rows of seats in the cabin, they are separate from each other, and there is the possibility of individual adjustment.

Continuing the conversation about seats, it should be noted that the process of boarding and disembarking passengers in the Simbir SUV has become much simpler. And the trip itself will be comfortable - there is plenty of space. The side rear door of the SUV is enlarged, and the driver's seat and the front seat for passengers can be adjusted longitudinally. You can also set the backrest at the desired angle.

UAZ Simbir can be an excellent vehicle not only for transporting goods, but also for spending the night. The first option is possible if you fold out the rear seat. Also, the folded rear and front seats provide excellent sleeping space.

The UAZ Simbir runs on a gasoline engine, and many of these vehicles are equipped with protective grilles. Chrome-plated thresholds are also used in design, and this thing is not only aesthetic, but also practical.

This was not the last option for tuning Simbir. Toyota power units were also installed in these cars. This move helped improve the dynamic characteristics of the car. And in 2002-2003, a batch of cars with the ZMZ-5143.10 turbodiesel was produced. Batch batches that were exported were also put into production. These models used Italian VM diesel.

A little about the shortcomings

Like any other car, UAZ Simbir has both its strengths and weaknesses. First of all, this car will lose to its foreign counterparts in the category of passive safety.

Also, when buying Sambir, remember that it will behave more like a truck.
The price may also surprise many buyers. It will be relatively high, and the reason is simple: the increase in cost provokes small volumes of machine production.

Thoughts from Simbir owners

Today, experienced car enthusiasts insist: Simbir is simply an ideal option for off-road driving, and it is useless to expect something supernatural from it in urban conditions.

Fans of drag racing, hunting and driving in difficult terrain leave the best reviews about the UAZ Simbir. Of course, operation in difficult conditions leads to frequent vehicle repairs. But all these problems can be fixed for little money.

According to the owners, the car has good cross-country ability in the forest and fields. And you can comfortably drive along the highway at a speed of 100-120 km per hour, while the car can be loaded up to 800 kg.
UAZ Simbir will become your reliable companion for all lovers of off-road driving!
