What engine does the Patriot have? UAZ Patriot engine - which one to choose? Swap engine and transmission on a Patriot

Since 2008, the UAZ company has been supplying the Patriot SUV to the Russian market in two versions with gasoline and diesel engines. Initially, the manufacturer used an engine borrowed from the Fiat Ducato model. Later, the ZMZ-51432 Euro-4 class engine began to be installed on the UAZ Patriot. The assembly of the model in this design has been completed by this time. But the manufacturer promises to soon resume production of a model with a diesel engine.

A diesel engine differs from a gasoline engine not only in the difference in the consumption of petroleum products, but also in power parameters, efficiency and environmental friendliness. Later, the engineers decided to equip this Russian car with a domestic diesel engine, installing 4-cylinder diesel units of the ZMZ-51432 and ZMZ-5148 series.

The appearance of the diesel UAZ Patriot is no different from the gasoline one, which cannot be said about the power reserve of the engines. If the ZMZ-409 gasoline engine has a power of 128 horses, then on a diesel engine their number was reduced to 113. But this factor did not in any way affect the cross-country ability of the SUV, and even on the contrary, thanks to the increased torque, the UAZ Patriot behaves much better on the road pavement and off-road. In this material, we will consider all the characteristics of the diesel UAZ Patriot and find out what is better, gasoline or diesel?

Design features of the UAZ Patriot diesel engine


It is worth noting another important feature of the diesel engine - it is reduced fuel consumption, which is 9 liters per 100 km, while the Zavolzhsky gasoline engine consumes at least 13 liters per 100 km. A diesel SUV is characterized by the following features:

  • The weight of a diesel engine, be it Iveco or ZMZ-514, is much greater than ZMZ-409.
  • Due to the heavier weight of the diesel engine, the front springs had to be strengthened on the SUV.
  • If the Iveco or ZMZ-514 engine operates at minimum idle speed, then this can lead to negative consequences, or more precisely, to oil getting into the system.

The UAZ Patriot with the Iveco F1A and ZMZ-514 engines contains not only power and efficiency, but also safety. This car is perfect for city traffic, as well as for overcoming obstacles in any off-road conditions. In addition to efficiency and safety, it is worth noting the comfort of the interior. The Patriot's cabin can accommodate 5 people, and thanks to additional seats in the luggage compartment, this number of passengers can be increased to 9 people. So, let's take a closer look at the features of the UAZ Patriot SUV with a diesel engine.

Diesel or gasoline engine UAZ Patriot - which is better

There is no particular difference between the gasoline and diesel versions of the Patriot. The power of the first engine is 128 hp. with a volume of 2.7 liters. Despite the fact that the diesel engine has slightly less output, this is offset by the increased torque. If for a gasoline engine the maximum value of this indicator reaches 217 N/m, then for a heavy fuel unit it is equal to 270 N/m. This difference becomes especially noticeable when the car goes off-road.
You should also pay attention to the fact that the gasoline unit consumes about 12 liters of fuel. As a result, the difference in cost between both models is eliminated within 2-3 years after active use of the car.
In addition, due to the operation of the gasoline engine, the SUV can reach a speed of 150 km/h.


For the diesel version, this figure is limited to 135 km/h. Due to the fact that both engines have structural differences from each other, the engine compartment of each version is designed differently.
The operation of diesel units requires compliance with special rules. This is explained by the fact that this type of fuel is highly sensitive to temperature indicators. To avoid unexpected breakdowns of the power unit and increase its service life, you must do the following:

  1. At subzero temperatures, the engine cannot be started immediately. Instead, turn the ignition key to the first position and wait about three minutes. At the end of the specified period, you can start the engine. This procedure is performed to warm up the fuel filter.
  2. The car must undergo a preliminary run-in. During the first 2.5 thousand kilometers, it is recommended to operate the SUV in gentle modes, reducing the load level to a minimum.
  3. Use only high-quality diesel fuel of at least Euro-3 class.

Traditionally, diesel engines last longer than gasoline engines. However, during extreme driving, the service life of the power plant is sharply reduced due to frequent overheating.

Technical characteristics of the UAZ Patriot diesel engine

The ZMZ-514 engine has a displacement of 2.2 liters, and the consumption does not exceed 9 liters in mixed traffic. The engine is equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation system and turbocharging. In addition, the following parameters are characteristic of such a domestic diesel engine ZMZ-514:

  • Working volume – 2235 cm3
  • Number of cylinders – 4
  • Number of valves – 16
  • Cylinder diameter – 87 mm
  • Piston stroke – 94 mm
  • Power hp/kW – 113.5/83.5 at 3500 rpm
  • Torque – 270 Nm at 1300-2800 rpm
  • Compression ratio – 19
  • Type timing/timing drive – DOHC/chain
  • Fuel brand – diesel
  • Ecological class – Euro-4
  • Maximum speed – 135 km/h
  • Acceleration to 100 km/h – n/a
  • Fuel consumption in the city - n/a
  • Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 9.5 liters
  • Fuel consumption on the highway - n/a

Actual fuel consumption in urban conditions, according to owners' reviews, during quiet driving does not exceed 12 liters of diesel. This is significantly less than the gasoline version of the Patriot, which can easily consume up to 20 liters of gasoline. On the highway at a speed of 80-90 km/h, the UAZ Patriot diesel consumes only 8-8.5 liters per 100 km. Therefore, if fuel consumption plays an important role in your case, then choose the diesel version of the UAZ

It is also important to note that the fuel supply system is a distribution system with a mechanical pump regulator.

How to improve the technical characteristics of the UAZ Patriot diesel engine

The design features of the diesel engine installed on the UAZ Patriot make it possible to improve its initial characteristics. Chip tuning of this engine involves the following procedures:

  1. Modernization of the engine control program. Thanks to this procedure, it is possible to achieve improved cold starts, idle modes, and also increase the performance of the power unit.
  2. Installation of an additional turbine. It increases the overall engine power. This procedure involves additional modification of the standard software.

Otherwise, chip tuning of the UAZ Patriot consists of carrying out activities that affect other components of the SUV design. In particular, car doors are complemented with various materials that increase noise, heat and sound insulation inside the cabin.

Important nuances of servicing the UAZ Patriot diesel engine

Everyone knows that this type of petroleum fuel, such as diesel fuel, is very sensitive to cold. In this case, there are a lot of nuances that are important for owners of UAZ Patriot diesel SUVs to know.
When the air temperature drops to 0 degrees and below, it is important to keep in mind that it is not recommended to start the engine right away. To do this, you should first turn the ignition key to the first position, wait 2-3 minutes, and then try to start it. What is it for? This is done in order to preheat the fuel filter, from which fuel enters the system.

Another important nuance that should also be paid attention to regularly is the timely replacement of the timing belt. This procedure is recommended to be performed after 60 thousand kilometers. Failure to comply with this recommendation increases the likelihood of unexpected timing belt breakage, which will entail the need to replace the cylinder head, camshaft and rocker arm.

Any engine, including diesel modifications, requires timely maintenance. This procedure, first of all, involves changing the oil every 8 thousand kilometers. This action helps prevent aging of the power plant design. To preserve the integrity of the internal elements of the diesel engine in the UAZ Patriot, it is recommended to use the same brand of oil.

The service life of a diesel engine is much longer than that of a gasoline engine, but it all depends on the nature of driving and compliance with certain operating modes. If the engine constantly experiences maximum loads, which will lead to its overheating, then such a unit will have to be repaired, and in the worst case, completely replaced. For the ZMZ-514 or Iveco UAZ Patriot diesel engine, you need to refuel with really high-quality fuel. It is recommended to refuel Euro series diesel.

Every 8 thousand kilometers you need to replace the fuel filter. And if low quality fuel is used, then this procedure is recommended to be carried out more often.
Over time, sediment appears in the fuel tanks (the Patriot uses 2 containers with a volume of 40 liters). To avoid clogging of the diesel engine, they need to be washed every two years.

Installation and removal of the UAZ Patriot diesel engine step by step instructions

Installation of an Iveco or ZMZ-514 engine may be required if it was previously dismantled for the purpose of a major overhaul. Let's take a brief look at what it means to remove and install a diesel engine on a UAZ Patriot SUV.

The 2.7-liter capacity produces 128 hp. with a torque of 210 Nm. The second engine with which the UAZ Patriot is sold today is a 2.2-liter diesel engine with a power of 114 hp. at 270 Nm of torque. Diesel is also assembled at ZMZ (Zavolzhsky Motor Plant). Today we’ll talk in more detail about these power units for the domestic SUV.

Patriot gasoline engine, this is the ZMZ 409, which became the heir to the well-known 406 engine. In-line 4-cylinder 16-valve power unit with an aluminum block and aluminum cylinder head. The engine has two overhead camshafts, which move the valves using hydraulic compensators. That is, there is no need to manually adjust the valves on this engine. Injection injection allows the engine to comply with the Euro 4 environmental standard. The timing drive has a chain. It would seem that nothing could be more reliable, but it is the chain that is the weakest point of the motor. Constant complaints from owners about chain breaks forced the manufacturer to abandon the use of Chinese hydraulic chain tensioners, replacing them with German ones. Below are more detailed technical characteristics of this engine.

UAZ Patriot 2.7 ZMZ 409 (128 hp) characteristics, fuel consumption

  • Working volume – 2693 cm3
  • Number of cylinders – 4
  • Number of valves – 16
  • Cylinder diameter – 95.5 mm
  • Piston stroke – 94 mm
  • Power hp/kW – 128/94.1 at 4600 rpm
  • Torque – 209.7 Nm at 2500 rpm
  • Compression ratio – 9.0
  • Timing/drive type – DOHC/chain
  • Fuel brand – gasoline AI 92
  • Ecological class – Euro-4
  • Maximum speed – 150 km/h
  • Acceleration to 100 km/h - slow
  • Fuel consumption in the city – 15-17 liters
  • Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 13-14 liters
  • Fuel consumption on the highway – 11.5 liters

The fuel consumption of a gasoline Patriot is a separate issue, since in off-road conditions with all-wheel drive engaged and the air conditioning running, consumption can reach 25-30 liters per hundred. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately determine the actual consumption, due to the huge number of related factors affecting the Patriot’s gasoline consumption.

Diesel engine UAZ Patriot ZMZ-51432, which is now installed on domestic SUVs, was recently mastered. Previously, an IVECO unit with a volume of 2.3 liters was installed under the hood of the Patriot. The domestic engine produces approximately the same characteristics. Power 114 hp with a torque of 270 Nm. The in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve Common Rail turbodiesel with “BOSCH” injection has an aluminum block and cylinder head. The timing drive is also chain driven. The diesel version is significantly more expensive than the gasoline version, so it is offered only in the most expensive trim levels. Diesel Patriots are not very popular despite significant fuel economy and increased torque. Below are detailed characteristics of the turbodiesel power unit.

The main gift to all lovers of Russian SUVs this year will be presented by ZMZ; in the summer, a new Patriot will appear on the UAZ assembly line. The more modern UAZ-3170 will receive a new gasoline engine, which will replace the 2.7 liter unit, which is very gluttonous and not very dynamic. The new ZMZ gasoline engine will have a smaller displacement (rumored to be 2-2.4 liters), while the engine power will increase and fuel consumption will be significantly reduced!

The UAZ Patriot diesel SUV was first released in 2008, which was no longer equipped with the usual gasoline engine from the Zavolzhsky plant, but with a foreign diesel engine from the Iveco concern. The diesel engine was borrowed from the Italian Fiat Ducato. An important feature of this engine is that its environmental class complies with the Euro-4 standard. A diesel engine differs from a gasoline engine not only in the difference in the consumption of petroleum products, but also in power parameters, efficiency and environmental friendliness. Later, the engineers decided to equip this Russian car with a domestic diesel engine, installing 4-cylinder diesel units of the ZMZ-51432 and ZMZ-5148 series.

The appearance of the diesel UAZ Patriot is no different from the gasoline one, which cannot be said about the power reserve of the engines. If the ZMZ-409 gasoline engine has a power of 128 horses, then on a diesel engine their number was reduced to 113. But this factor did not in any way affect the cross-country ability of the SUV, and even on the contrary, thanks to the increased torque, the UAZ Patriot behaves much better on the road pavement and off-road. In this material, we will consider all the characteristics of the diesel UAZ Patriot and find out what is better, gasoline or diesel?

It is worth noting another important feature of the diesel engine - it is reduced fuel consumption, which is 9 liters per 100 km, while the Zavolzhsky gasoline engine consumes at least 13 liters per 100 km. A diesel SUV is characterized by the following features:

  1. The weight of a diesel engine, be it Iveco or ZMZ-514, is much greater than ZMZ-409.
  2. Due to the heavier weight of the diesel engine, the front springs had to be strengthened on the SUV.
  3. If the Iveco or ZMZ-514 engine operates at minimum idle speed, then this can lead to negative consequences, or more precisely, to oil getting into the system.

The UAZ Patriot with the Iveco F1A and ZMZ-514 engines contains not only power and efficiency, but also safety. This car is perfect for city traffic, as well as for overcoming obstacles in any off-road conditions. In addition to efficiency and safety, it is worth noting the comfort of the interior. The Patriot's cabin can accommodate 5 people, and thanks to additional seats in the luggage compartment, this number of passengers can be increased to 9 people. So, let's take a closer look at the features of the UAZ Patriot SUV with a diesel engine.

Characteristics of diesel UAZ Patriot

The ZMZ-514 engine has a displacement of 2.2 liters, and the consumption does not exceed 9 liters in mixed traffic. The engine is equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation system and turbocharging.

In addition, the following parameters are characteristic of such a domestic diesel engine ZMZ-514:

  1. The gearbox is mechanically controlled, and the injection of the fuel mixture is direct.
  2. The engine design has a special pump that pumps fuel.
  3. The cooling system is made of a liquid type of closed design, which has forced circulation.
  4. The presence of a turbocharger allows exhaust gases to be removed faster.
  5. The total weight of the engine is 225 kg.

It is also important to note that the fuel supply system is a distribution system with a mechanical pump regulator.

Important nuances

Everyone knows that this type of petroleum fuel, such as diesel fuel, is very sensitive to cold. In this case, there are a lot of nuances that are important for owners of UAZ Patriot diesel SUVs to know.

When the air temperature drops to 0 degrees and below, it is important to keep in mind that it is not recommended to start the engine right away. To do this, you should first turn the ignition key to the first position, wait 2-3 minutes, and then try to start it. What is it for? This is done in order to preheat the fuel filter, from which fuel enters the system.

If you become the owner of a Patriot straight from the showroom, then it is important to know that such a car requires a preliminary break-in test. Running in is driving a car in gentle modes. The break-in period is approximately 2500 km; during this time it is not recommended to drive in extreme conditions with maximum loads.

The service life of a diesel engine is much longer than that of a gasoline engine, but it all depends on the nature of driving and compliance with certain operating modes. If the engine constantly experiences maximum loads, which will lead to its overheating, then such a unit will have to be repaired, and in the worst case, completely replaced. For the ZMZ-514 or Iveco UAZ Patriot diesel engine, you need to refuel with really high-quality fuel. It is recommended to refuel Euro series diesel.

Removal and installation in the car

Installation of an Iveco or ZMZ-514 engine may be required if it was previously dismantled for the purpose of a major overhaul. Let's take a brief look at what it means to remove and install a diesel engine on a UAZ Patriot SUV.

To remove the engine, you must first drain the coolant, disconnect all pipes and remove the radiator. It is also necessary to remove the hood cover, since it will be an obstacle when removing the engine weighing 225 kg.

All wires and tubes, muffler, cardans, etc. should be disconnected. The bolts securing the gearbox to the engine, as well as the filter, generator and fuel pump are unscrewed. Only after the engine is completely de-energized will it be possible to begin dismantling it. For dismantling, it is best to use a winch, and if it is not available, the help of 4-5 people will be required to remove the motor. The difference between dismantling a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is the weight of both units. The weight of a diesel engine is approximately 50 kg more, so you need to be extremely careful with such a unit.

The engine is installed in the reverse order of removal. After installing the motor, you should be sure to double-check the tightness of all bolted connections, and only then start and check the engine.

Why do you need diesel maintenance?

A diesel engine, like a gasoline engine, does not require periodic and timely maintenance. This must be done to ensure that the unit works well and has a long service life. First of all, it is important to change the engine oil in a timely manner (every 8,000 km).

This should be done in order to prevent aging of the internal structure of the motor. And the factor leading to this aging is low-quality diesel fuel, which contains sulfur.
Changing the oil is the most important process any engine needs. For a diesel Patriot, it is important not just to update the oil, but also to constantly use lubricant from the same company.

An equally important point is the timely replacement of the timing belt on a diesel unit. This must be done every 60,000 km. Although the service life of belts is about 100,000 km, it is better to replace them first, before they break. After all, after a break, it will be necessary to replace the camshafts, rocker arms, and heads. Replacing the timing belt is carried out in conjunction with a tension roller, which has a similar service life.

The fuel system requires maintenance, so the fuel filter should be cleaned every 8,000 km. If fuel of unknown origin is used, then such measures should be carried out much more often. The tank should be flushed every 2 years as sediment accumulates in it.

To summarize, it is worth emphasizing that the cost of a diesel Patriot is 100,000 thousand more than a gasoline one. But this suggests that with the help of such a vehicle you can not only overcome off-road conditions, but also save money when operating a car on asphalt. The gasoline engine also has its advantages and disadvantages, but we learn about this from the material about the ZMZ-409 gasoline engine.

You can check your BMR and if you need to reduce it!

Over its production history, UAZ received several engine options. Gasoline engines had an engine capacity of 2.7 liters, but the diesel version had 2.2 and 2.3. The bulk of the vehicles received power units produced by ZMZ, but the diesel version was equipped with an Iveco F1A engine.

Specifications

Before you start considering malfunctions and repairs of power units for the UAZ Patriot, you need to know what technical characteristics they have. Many car enthusiasts are quite familiar with ZMZ units, but the Iveco engine is extremely rare.

Let's look at the technical characteristics of the power units installed on Patriots:

ZMZ 514.32

Iveco F1A

Gasoline variants of ZMZ 409

Modifications of the original engine were installed on the UAZ Patriot:

  • ZMZ 40905.10 - analogue of 40904.10, compliance with the Euro-4 environmental standard. Power 128 hp
  • ZMZ 40906 - analogue of 409.10 with a new CPG, new gaskets, DBP, complies with the Euro-5 environmental standard. Power 135 hp

All cars were equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission from Dymos (Korea). Transfer case electro-mechanical, 2-speed with electric drive (I-1, II-2,542) from Dymos (Korea).

Service

Engine maintenance is expected after 15,000 km. Many vehicle owners are interested in the answer to the question: how many liters of oil should be poured into the engine during maintenance? And the second question - what oil is suitable for filling/topping up the UAZ Patriot engine?

Gasoline engine

So, the engine holds 7 liters of engine oil, but when replacing it will only require 6 liters. The main oils recommended by the manufacturer and car enthusiasts are semi-synthetic, marked: 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40, 20W-40.

The maintenance card is no different from 409, and looks something like this:

  1. 1000-2500 km or TO-0: oil and oil filter change.
  2. 25,000 km - TO-2: oil change, oil filter.
  3. 40,000 km - TO-3: oil change, oil and air filter, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, valve adjustment.
  4. 55,000 km - TO-4: oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, timing chain and alternator belt replacement.
  5. 70,000 km - TO-5 and subsequent: oil and oil filter change. Every 20,000 km, the fuel and air filters are changed, and the valves are adjusted. Every 50,000 km, replace the timing chain.

Diesel engine

Maintenance of the UAZ Patriot diesel engine is somewhat different from the gasoline engine. So, the answer to the question - how much oil to pour into the engine will differ. The volume of oil required for a change is 7 liters, and 7.4 liters fits directly into the engine.

Maintenance map for diesel versions of the UAZ Patriot engine:

  1. 1000-2000 km or TO-0: oil and oil filter change.
  2. 8000-10000 km - TO-1: oil change, oil and air filters, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, fuel.
  3. 25000-27000 km - TO-2: oil change, oil filter.
  4. 45000-50000 km - TO-3: oil change, oil and air filter, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, valve adjustment.
  5. 65,000 km - TO-4: oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, timing chain and alternator belt replacement.
  6. 90,000 km - TO-5 and subsequent: oil and oil filter change.

Change of oil

Changing the oil in the UAZ Patriot engine is carried out by analogy with all power units produced by ZMZ. First, you need to drive the vehicle onto a lift or pit. Then, the drain plug is unscrewed, and while the lubricating fluid is draining, the oil filter is changed.

The subsequent procedures are standard - new oil is added.

Engine malfunctions and repairs

As practice has shown, there are many more problems with diesel engines than with gasoline options. Let's look at the main faults that occur on the ZMZ 514.32 and the Iveco F1A engine:

  1. Vacuum pump failure.
  2. Cut of the oil pump drive or intermediate shaft.
  3. Unscrewing the HF plug.
  4. Broken or jumped timing chain.
  5. Broken phase sensor plate.
  6. Depressurization of the inlet discharge line.
  7. Low pressure in the fuel rail.
  8. Slow and insufficient engine warming up in winter.
  9. Oil and soot deposits in the intake manifold
  10. Black smoke in the exhaust.

As for the gasoline version of the engine, the problems here are the same as for any ZMZ 409. An eternal problem with the thermostat, which every car enthusiast treats as best he can. The timing chain can last about 200 thousand km, but it happens that it doesn’t last even 100 thousand km, depending on your luck.

On some vehicle models, it was noticed that injectors quickly failed. It is easy to repair the fault - replace all injected elements.

Engine tuning

The problem with most UAZs is that mechanical tuning is too expensive, namely expensive spare parts. Therefore, most owners opt for the simplest option - chip tuning. There are two types of software modifications for the UAZ Patriot - chip tuning for consumption and power. As practice shows, specialists, in most cases, reduce consumption, which is significant.

Conclusion

The UAZ Patriot was mainly equipped with reliable ZMZ 409 power units. Of course, diesel versions should not be excluded - ZMZ 514.32 and Iveco F1A. Repairing power units is quite simple, but often, car enthusiasts prefer a car service to carry out such operations. The modification ends with chip tuning to reduce consumption or increase power.

UAZ Patriot is a Russian mid-class SUV that has been on the production line since 2005. The car is a deep modernization of the early models "Simbir" (1997 - 2002) and UAZ-3160. “Patriot” is the most flagship and expensive model of the Ulyanovsk manufacturer. The car, despite its outdated design, is still in production. Demand can be maintained through numerous upgrades. For example, the 2017 model year Patriot received a completely new front panel with passenger and driver airbags. Overall, the interior is more modern, but handling and road manners haven't changed much compared to the 2005 model. In 2017, the Patriot will receive a more powerful engine.

UAZ Patriot owner reviews

With engine 2.7 128 l. With.

  • Maxim, Stavropol region. My Patriot is in the basic configuration, without any locks or differentials. The machine has a powerful frame structure, is equipped with a protective steel sheet under the bottom, and is therefore reliably protected from various irregularities. The 2.7 engine consumes an average of 13-15 liters of gasoline per 100 km.
  • Vladimir, Nikolaev. I have the top-end package of the Patriot in the 2012 body. Then the car looked courageous, brutal and more aggressive. Of course, there are breakdowns, what would we do without them. But I’m happy with the car, I just need to go to the service center on time. Consumption of 15 liters of gasoline/100 km.
  • Tolik, Ekaterinoslavl. If you need a full-fledged SUV, I advise you to take it. That's what I did. I rarely use the car on the highway or in the city; I mainly use it off-road. There Patrick shows himself in all his glory. Consumption 15-17 liters.
  • Anton, Tolyatti. The universal machine pleases with its limitless possibilities. But you can’t drive fast in a Patriot. This car is adapted purely for off-road use; how can you while away half an hour in the city at a speed of no more than 60 km/h. Consumption is 14-16 liters/100 km.
  • Inna, Yaroslavl. I liked the car, I feel protected with it. I have heard about breakdowns, and in 50 thousand km I have never encountered one. I never miss a service station, consumption is 15 liters.
  • Igor, Krasnodar region. I didn't like the car, it often breaks down and doesn't know how to brake. Now the mileage is 50 thousand km, I’m going to change it to a used Land Cruise. Now Patrick is collecting dust in the garage, his consumption is from 12 to 15 liters.
  • Alexander, Moscow. As a happy customer, I received my order in February 2017. I chose the version with a black body, a 2.7-liter engine and a manual transmission. There are driver and passenger airbags, air conditioning, a touch screen, a powerful stereo system, a sunroof and other options. I'm happy with the car, a kind of budget-class Land Cruiser. Fuel consumption is 15 liters of A95 gasoline.
  • Fedor, Nizhny Novgorod region. I'm happy with the car, a wonderful car for all occasions. With it you can rush wherever your eyes look. Equipped with a 2.7-liter engine and works with a gearbox. By the way, the mechanics reveal the full potential of the engine, and this is probably why Patrick still hasn’t got an automatic transmission. Gasoline consumption in the city is 14 liters per 100 km.
  • Oleg, Peter. The car is worth the money, especially for such money. He eats an average of 15 liters per hundred. The dynamics are decent, but nothing more. In Patrick, comfort and the ability to overcome ravines are much more important.
  • Svetlana, Arkhangelsk. My husband gave me a Patriot; I thought I couldn’t handle this manly car. Even the doors of this colossus must be opened with force. The pedal assembly is tight, the steering wheel is also tight. But everything seemed that way to me at first, but after two weeks I got used to it, and now I drive without complaining. The car is reliable, I didn’t even expect it. A car with a 2.7 engine and manual transmission consumes an average of 14 -15 liters.
  • Sergey, Krasnoyarsk. I bought myself a Patriot, and I made an informed choice. The car has been in use for 70 thousand km, the flight is normal, it is being repaired by a service center. Kind people gave me a good set of tools, so I don’t have to rest even on a day off.
  • Helga, Novosibirsk. I'm happy with the car, Patrick gives me driving pleasure, especially after a long day at work. I liked the car, especially off-road. The car consumes approximately 15 liters per 100 km.
  • Alexey, Vorkuta. An excellent car for harsh Russian conditions. Its advantage is that even though it breaks down, it is still much cheaper to operate than foreign cars like the Toyota Land Cruiser. All thanks to cheap spare parts. In addition, any part can be found at disassembly. And it doesn’t matter that it will still crumble, then I’ll change it again. That is how we live. I have Patrick with a 2.7 petrol engine, average petrol consumption is 15 liters per 100 km.
  • Oleg, and Novosibirsk. I liked the car, it’s a very comfortable SUV. On the highway it behaves decently, if you do not exceed the speed. You can drive comfortably at 100 km/h, no more. The car makes for a quiet ride, and in general my passengers – my wife and children – like it better. 128 horsepower is enough for the car, especially since it still can’t go fast. Gasoline consumption per hundred is 14-15 liters.
  • Vasily, Sverdlovsk. The advantages of the car are high cross-country ability, a lot of space in the cabin, a gigantic trunk, a full-size spare wheel, large wheels and all-wheel drive. There are a lot of disadvantages, but for that kind of money you can keep quiet. In the city, a car consumes 15 liters of gasoline, sometimes even more. I installed HBO and am not complaining. Now I have an environmentally friendly SUV that can overcome gullies.
  • Daniil, Perm. A very lively SUV, you can drive it quickly in the city, or at least keep up with city traffic. A comfortable speed is no more than 100 km/h, and then Patrick begins to scour the highway. The 130-horsepower engine consumes 14 liters.
  • Svetlana, Taganrog. The car impressed me; I didn’t even expect it to be so reliable. Powerful frame design, you can drive on a variety of roads without anything falling off. Consumption is 14 liters with a 2.7 engine.
  • Taras, Rostov. SUV 2016, bought for the New Year. I have the top-end Limited package, with all the options. A completely modern car, with predictable handling. Consumes on average 13 – 15 liters/100 km.
  • Dmitry, Tver. UAZ Patriot is a very reliable car, and let them say what they want. And I think 128 forces is quite enough, especially since my car is used mainly off-road. In such conditions, Patrick reveals all his advantages and not a single disadvantage. Consumption 14 liters.
  • Boris, Tambov. I liked the car, but this is my personal opinion. The Patriot is not for everyone, even if you want it. Like, he's all big and the cheapest, a real rogue. This is, of course, good, but these advantages must be used correctly so that Patrick does not completely fall apart. The engine costs 2.7 liters, in terms of consumption I try to keep it to 15 liters.

  • Yaroslav, Odessa. I ordered a Patriot in Rostov, picked it up and went home. I just gave the car a good run-in. The car is new, 2017, I’m currently running it in. I liked the peppy 135-horsepower engine, the manual transmission works well. Average consumption is 13 liters.
  • Mityai, Dnepropetrovsk. I bought the car at the end of 2016, just before the New Year. So far I'm happy, there are 38 thousand miles on the odometer. I go and don’t complain, everyone in the city lets me through and respects me. I get around 14 liters/100 km.
  • Igor, Donetsk. I really wanted this car, and for this I went to Rostov to get it. The car is worth it, you can take it. So far, only advantages, not a single breakdown. This year we had a snowy winter, but Patrick never choked. Great car, consumption 15 liters.
  • Ekaterina, Belgorod. I bought myself a Patriot so that I would never get stuck on bad roads, in snow or ice. After 50 thousand mileage, nothing has broken, the car consumes 13 l/100 km.
  • Alexander, Moscow. I bought an updated UAZ Patriot 2017, with a modernized 2.7-liter engine. Now it produces 135 horsepower, instead of the previous 128. The improvement in dynamics is not felt, but fuel consumption has not changed - the car is still the same voracious one, consuming an average of 15 liters per hundred. Acceleration to hundreds takes 17-18 seconds, but for this money you can forgive a lot. But as far as I understand, this is the most expensive car in Russian history.
  • Dmitry, Tambov. I'm happy with the car and bought the updated 2017 model. I liked the design of the front panel in the cabin. The plastic is quite hard, like cheap plastic. But it looks decent and modern, and in the center there is a large touch display with many functions. The 135-horsepower unit consumes 15 liters/100 km. But I installed HBO and I’m not complaining. Now the mileage is 38 thousand km, the flight is normal, there are no breakdowns.
  • Konstantin, Sverdlovsk. A reliable and comfortable SUV, the odometer now has 49 thousand km. I often travel along the highway, visit many Russian cities - I do courier delivery throughout the country. I liked the car, for the money I don’t think it’s better to find it. Gasoline consumption is a maximum of 14-15 liters.
  • Olga, Zhitomir. A wonderful car, worth the money spent. I took the top version for more than a million. While the Patriot circles our roads, he is in his element. It eats no more than 15 liters per hundred, in my opinion this is the norm for a car of this level.
  • Vladimir, Penza. At first I thought about taking a used Patrick, but in the end I was advised to take a new one in order to experience all the advantages of this patriotic car. A 135-horsepower engine consumes 12-15 liters. So far I'm running it in, no problems.
  • Vasily, Petrozavodsk. The car was produced in 2017, with a 135 horsepower engine. The car is generally reliable and is widely accepted and respected. That's what the word Patriot means! Consumption 15-16 liters.

  • Ruslan, St. Petersburg. A good car, perhaps the best among its competitors. His rivals are mainly Chinese, I mean the cost. The UAZ Patriot feels more familiar and predictable. There are many spare parts for this car, and the original parts are relatively inexpensive. The operation of the Patriot brings many surprises, but in any case, the car is much cheaper to maintain than more reliable foreign cars (the Chinese don’t count). My Patriot is equipped with all-wheel drive and a 2.3-liter engine with a power of 116 horses. The engine of stars from the sky is not enough, but for the city there is enough dynamics. Fuel consumption is 12-14 liters per 100 km.
  • Dmitry, Ekaterinoslavl. I'm happy with the car, it's a great car for every day around the city. The fact is that my brutal all-terrain vehicle is respected and passed on the road, so the dimensions of my car are, in a sense, an advantage. The Patriot itself is not that big - it is only 4.6 meters long, but it is gigantic in width - about 2000 mm. I am satisfied with the car; with a 2.3-liter engine, consumption in the city is 13 liters per hundred.
  • Oleg, Nikolaev. I liked the car, the mileage is now 88 thousand km, the flight is normal. I'm still servicing it under warranty. Fuel consumption is 13 liters. A very reliable and comfortable car.
  • Ekaterina, Kyiv. I got the car from my husband, but I asked for it myself. I really wanted an SUV. It took a long time to collect, and then a Patriot turned up. My husband didn't mind. The car consumes 13 liters per hundred. In the city, Patrick looks impressive against the backdrop of tiny subcompact cars.
  • Igor, Nizhny Novgorod region. The UAZ Patriot is a real SUV, I use the car off-road to the fullest, and I don’t regret the money spent one bit. If something breaks, becomes dented or cracks, replacing the part will not be a problem - it is relatively inexpensive. Especially these plastic bumpers are the most vulnerable spot in the Patriot off-road. The car consumes 13-14 liters/100 km.
  • Alexander, Penza. I bought a Patriot on the secondary market, with a mileage of 68 thousand km. The car is in good condition, there are some minor flaws in the suspension and gearbox operation. I figured it could be repaired for pennies. At least compared to my former Land Cruiser. Kruzak is old, but very expensive. The Patriot is equipped with a 2.3-liter engine and consumes an average of 13 liters per hundred.

With engine 2.2 113 l. With.

  • Maxim, Peter. A car for all occasions. It's good that I took the diesel version. It is more economical and more suitable for a full-fledged SUV such as the UAZ Patriot. Soft suspension with long strokes, reliable frame design, distinct handling. In general, the car is more or less suitable for the city, but due to the large width of the body it is inconvenient to park. 113 horses are enough to start from traffic lights, and Patrick holds up well in city traffic. Fuel consumption is 12 liters per hundred.
  • Rinat, Chechnya. Here in Chechnya we love cars like this – big and with patriotic names. Patriot is a fighting machine for strong-armed guys. The diesel engine is high-torque and powerful, consuming an average of 12-13 liters. I'm happy with the car so far, I have my own garage, I repair it myself.
  • Andrey, Lipetsk. This car is more suitable for rural areas and off-road. In urban conditions it feels cramped, and besides, the car is not very modern and consumes a lot of fuel, despite having a diesel engine. The average consumption is 12 liters, and this is the minimum.
  • Vladislav, Ufa. The vehicle was purchased for off-road use and for delivering goods over difficult terrain. I made the right choice; Patrick is ideal for such work. Moreover, it is diesel, with a good reserve of torque. There is enough traction at the bottom, and you can also start in second or even third gear. I have a top-end package, with all the options. There is a panoramic roof, although I rarely use it. Fuel consumption is 13 liters in the combined cycle.
  • Oleg, Nizhny Novgorod. The car is a delight, especially when driving off-road. It seems that she is not afraid of any obstacles. At the same time, the car is quite comfortable and has good dynamics for 113 diesel power. In the city it consumes 12-13 liters per hundred. On off-road it turns out no more than 16 liters per hundred.
  • Vitaly, St. Petersburg. Comfortable car, ideal for every day. In terms of dynamics, the car is not inferior to passenger cars - I checked it myself. It's all about the powerful diesel engine, which, with its 113 horsepower, pulls out not with power, but with a good reserve of traction. And thanks to this, it drives like a light car. Average consumption is only 12 liters in the urban cycle.
