There is no alternative to the UAZ Patriot on the new car market. There is no other SUV priced within a million rubles. Therefore, in this case, options with large used foreign cars will be considered.

Toyota Land Cruiser

Thoughts about how to replace the UAZ Patriot, which has no analogues among the big "rogues", should first of all rest on the financial equivalent. Toyota Land Cruiser 100 can be considered as one of them. The car, which is in relatively good condition, will be 2000–2003. release. Anything below the specified amount should not be considered.

Most likely, it will be equipped with a 4.7 V8 1UZ-FE petrol engine, giving a decent range. However, subsequent operation will be costly due to high fuel consumption.

People who are not in a hurry to buy may have better luck. Toyota Land Cruiser 100 with diesel 4.2 1 HZ or inline "six" 1FZ-FE are considered "not killed". This should be especially taken into account when planning to purchase a car as an analogue of the UAZ Patriot, that is, to conquer off-road.

When buying a used car Toyota Land Cruiser 100, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

• Study the history of the car. If it is imported from the UAE, the condition of the body metal will leave much to be desired.
• Purchasing an SUV with TEMS hydropneumatic suspension is undesirable, as it does not give the promised comfort, but it causes problems in operation.

If you do not look at age, the classic "Japanese" may well create competition for the new "Russian". Both in price and off-road range. Appearance and ease of management here remain on the side of the foreign car.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120

The lower price range of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 sold in Russia is at the level of the cost of Vesta or Hyundai Solaris, that is, cheaper than the updated UAZ Patriot. An imported analogue for such money, first of all, will be idle in a garage or car service, so it is not recommended to deal with such cars.

In this case, the best option would be to buy a car from 2002-2009. issue at a price within 850,000 rubles. and higher. It makes no sense to pay attention to the mileage, the power unit of the "Japanese" is reliable.

Most of the cars in operation are equipped with a 4-cylinder gasoline engine and a 5-speed "automatic". Diesel modifications are very rare and differweak acceleration dynamics.

In the selection process, it is recommended to pay attention to the following:

• First of all, it is the paintwork, "lame" on this model of the legendary car.
• Be sure to check the car's history. For several years, this so-called alternative to the UAZ Patriot has been in the lead in the ranking of the most stolen cars.
• Cars brought from the Far East may come across in the version of the so-called constructor. A missing or mismatched frame or engine number may result in unregistration.

Mitsubishi Pajero 4

Full-size Japanese SUV of the 4th generation, the leader of the concern Mitsubishi Motors, has been sold on the domestic market since 2007. Prices for it start at 500,000 rubles, but it is not recommended to use such offers. You can buy a good alternative to the UAZ Patriot for 800,000 rubles. and more.

A significant drawback for a car of this rank can be called a weak paintwork. Rotting begins in places of chips and scratches resulting from operation. Another problem could be paint chipping in the rear door opening.

In the domestic market, most cars are equipped with a 3.8-liter gasoline engine with 6 cylinders. As an exception, there are 3-liter engines. Their traction power is noticeably weaker, but the power unit itself is more unpretentious, since its design is much simpler.

ReviewingMitsubishi Pajero 4 with a 3.2 liter diesel turbo engine, the quality of the fuel should be taken into account. In proper condition, it will be an ideal purchase, as it has incredible traction and is economical.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport

Medium-sized "Japanese" may well replace the "UAZ Patriot" in the city and off-road. Naturally, he is unable to compare with him in terms of cross-country ability, but he is significantly ahead in terms of comfort and appearance. In the range up to 1 million rubles. you can pick up a good option 2009-2011. release.

Not so distant years of production allow you to purchase Mitsubishi Pajero Sport in decent condition. On the Russian market, you can find several varieties of power units. Starting from a 2-liter diesel and ending with a 3-liter petrol six. All Mitsubishi Motors power units are distinguished by "survivability" and the absence of serious problems during the first 200,000 km.

As with other cars from this Japanese manufacturer, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport's paintwork is not of very good quality. Of the other disadvantages of an SUV, one can name the following:

• Low ceiling.
• High fuel consumption.
• Small trunk volume.
• High prices for original parts.

Land Rover Defender

Classic English SUV with a charismatic appearance. This is how many describe the 2007-2015 Land Rover Defender. release. This car can be considered as the next alternative to the UAZ Patriot.

Compared to Japanesepredecessors, "Englishman" will be much fresher. For example, in the range from 800,000 to 1 million rubles. you can buy a good 10-year-old car with a proven engine that is installed on Ford Transit minibuses.

Another advantage of the Land Rover Defender is a simple and reliable transfer case that can be repaired in the field. In terms of the quality of movement in urban conditions, the Patriot is significantly superior. The recommended cruising speed of 90 km/h and the frequent twitching of the gear selector will not please anyone.

During the preliminary inspection of the car, it is recommended to pay attention to the following nuances:

• White spots or powder on the inside of body parts. They are made from aircraft-grade aluminum and will not corrode. However, at the points of contact with steel parts, abundant oxidation processes occur, which must be paid attention to. Subsequent replacement of damaged parts will be very expensive.
• Drips on the transfer case and power steering signal their imminent failure.

Chevrolet Tahoe

The cost of a new "Patriot" is equal to the price of a 10-year-old American 3rd generation. First of all, it will be equipped with a 5.3-liter 8-cylinder power unit. This is precisely the weakest link of the legendary "American". Engine power of 324 l / s will significantly hit the pocket at the time of paying the transport tax.

Recommended carefullyinspect Chevrolet Tahoe when buying because of its origin: North Americans are not very good at following cars. It may well turn out that consumable fluids were not replaced in time, and this can lead to serious financial investments.

If the operation of the machine was carried out in careful conditions regarding the technical component, there will be practically nothing to complain about, with the exception of a number of points:

• Paint body. The first pockets of corrosion appear around the rear license plate.
• Cars with air bellows in the rear suspension are best avoided in our climate.

The decision on what to buy for off-road - the new UAZ Patriot 2019 or another foreign-made alternative is an individual one. In order not to regret what has been done, it is recommended to first weigh all the advantages and disadvantages of each option and only after that draw final conclusions.
