Not so long ago it became known that the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is preparing the release of its first crossover, photos of which have made a lot of noise on social networks and on various motorist forums. The first pictures of the Russian SUV, which is scheduled for release in 2020, leaked online were of poor quality, causing a lot of controversy. The fact is that there is no trace left of the usual exterior and interior of the UAZ. Most users refused to believe that they had a domestic crossover in front of them, and not an elegant “European”.
However, after the patent photographs of the new UAZ-3170.2020 crossover were presented, information appeared that professionals from the Pininfarina company worked on the appearance of the domestic SUV. Thanks to these specialists and designers from NAMI, it was possible to create an incredibly attractive appearance of the car. It is worth noting that the new UAZ-3170.2020 crossover hastwo variations of the exterior.
Engine
After information about the creation of the new UAZ-3170.2020 crossover was leaked to the Internet and then officially confirmed, auto experts put forward many assumptions about which power unit would be hidden under the hood of this car.
The majority was inclined to the version that ZMZ-409.10 will be installed, which is equipped with the Patriot model, but with significant modifications. The designers really took up increasing the power, as well as reducing the volume of the existing engine. Approximate specifications are as follows:
- volume – 2.5 l;
- maximum torque - 240 Hm;
- power - 145 hp s.
A turbocharged version will also be developed, based on the ZMZ-406 engine:
- volume - 2, 3 l;
- maximum torque - 350 Hm;
- power - 170 hp s.
Then, reliable information appeared that the concern had begun testing the new ZMZ-4091. This power unit runs exclusively on compressed gas. In the event that the tests are successful, the new UAZ-3170.2020 crossover may well have this engine in its basic configuration.
Transmission
With a fundamentally new engine, a 6-speed manual transmission of our own production will be aggregated. The designers decided to improve the transfer case by replacing some gears, an intermediate shaft, couplings, a gearbox cover, a shaftfront drive and crankcase.
General parameters
The characteristics of the new UAZ-3170.2020 crossover approved by the concern are as follows:
- length - 4.6 m;
- wheelbase - 2.85 m;
- Luggage capacity - 560 l;
- departure angle (degrees) – 27;
- approach angle (degrees) – 26;
- ramp angle (degrees) – 20.
Pricing policy
If we analyze the domestic automotive market, namely the class of budget crossovers, we can calculate the estimated cost of a car that will roll off the assembly line of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in 2020. The most affordable models have a price tag of 1 million rubles, for example, Chery Tiggo. Famous brands also sell cars of the budget segment, the cost of which does not exceed 1.6 million rubles. These include the VW Tiguan.
In order to take its own place among many competitors, the price of the new UAZ-3170.2020 crossover should not exceed 1.1-1.3 million rubles, and the quality of the car should be higher than that of the main competitor, which is the concern " Volkswagen". The task, to put it mildly, is very difficult, but quite feasible. If the final technical specifications are as impressive as the exterior, UAZ has every chance of success.
Dates
It is known that the concern announced the start of sales for 2020. The general public will be able to see with their own eyes a completely new UAZ already in 2019, at the International Auto Showin Moscow. At the same time, it is noted that the production of frame SUVs, such as the Patriot, will be completely eliminated until 2022.
