Despite its modern designation, the UAZ 3151, in fact, remained the same UAZ 469, which replaced the legendary GAZ 69, which was produced for many years at the Gorky and Ulyanovsk Automobile Plants and left its mark on the history of the country and its automotive industry. Of course, it cannot be said that the UAZ has remained completely unchanged. During its production, many improvements have been made to its design, but it has remained as it was intended - a military jeep.
But this does not in the least prevent him from occupying his niche in the automotive market. Outside the city, away from asph alt roads, he is the savior of all glamorous little cars and a real car. It is with a capital letter. UAZ 469 was created for movement in any conditions and has been mass-produced since 1972. In 1985, it undergoes modernization and after that, in accordance with industry requirements, it is already produced as UAZ 3151.
The basis of the car is a strong spar frame that can withstand considerable effort when driving off-road. Spring suspension. The highlight of the UAZ 3115 are the so-called "military" bridges - axles with wheel gears,improving off-road performance, in particular, the clearance increases to 300 mm. The engine is used in-line, 75 hp, manual gearbox, four-speed, two-speed transfer case.
Describing the technical parameters of a car is a thankless task, it's just that more than one modification of the UAZ has been created during this time. They differ in many parameters - engine, suspension, gearboxes, lighting equipment, interior and comfort. Many owners, after purchasing a car, first of all carry out maintenance of the UAZ 3151, tuning is part of this work.
UAZ can accommodate seven passengers and a load of one hundred kilograms. Evidence confirming its capabilities is the fact that a completely standard car without any additional “bells and whistles” (winches and snow chains) managed to climb to the top of Elbrus (4200 m).
It should be noted that the car is very plastic and, in fact, can be perceived as a kind of constructor. No, he is always ready to overcome any off-road from the moment he leaves the assembly line, but often each of his owners refines the car to his liking. Tuning UAZ 3151 is a common thing, and when buying a car, many are already planning it. Each of the buyers of such a car knows what he wants to get from him in the future and how this can be achieved.
When tuning, its driving performance does not deteriorate. Usually, when finalized, the cross-country ability improves (a winch is installed,lifting is performed, etc.) or the comfort in the cabin is increased. In any case, due to its simplicity and maintainability in any conditions, all work can be done both independently and using the services of tuning agencies.
As an SUV, UAZ 3151 can be considered one of the best. He is scolded, but no one will ever be able to challenge his inherent ability to overcome off-road. As the famous saying goes: "where I get stuck, you can't get there".
