UAZ "Patriot-3160" was produced for 7 years, from 1997 to 2004. Currently, you can still find this model on the roads of the country. The idea to make a completely new car, which will differ not only in technical characteristics, but also in appearance, was decided back in 1980. As a result, the first modern Patriot came to replace the beloved, but rather boring 469th. It is worth noting that the appearance evoked extraordinary feelings. On the one hand, the manufacturer moved away from the usual features by creating a new version, on the other hand, not fully thought out moments were noticeable in the model with a working index of 3160. It was thanks to this car that UAZ (Ulyanovsk Automotive Plant) was able to reach a new level, so we can say that the release of the updated "Patriot" was a turning point for the enterprise.
Exterior
Externally, the car became more elongated in height, but had the same parameterswidth and wheelbase. The length of the machine was 4300 mm. Some clumsiness of the machine was immediately noticed. Unfortunately, stability left much to be desired. Moments were recorded when the Patriot-3160 simply overturned during heavy braking or sharp turns. UAZ in the new version was no longer made of the usual thick metal. Manufacturers have decided to completely abandon this.
As for the appearance, there are practically no complaints here. The optics of the head light acquired a square shape. The bumper of the novelty was made of plastic. Fog lights were installed on the sides. The designers gave them a rectangular shape, which went well with the headlight headset.
If we judge the body by the level of comfort, then in the "Patriot-3160" (UAZ, unfortunately, for a long time could not correct this shortcoming) there was still an uncomfortable fit for the rear passengers. The reason for this was indistinctly calculated proportions.
Salon
There was enough space in the cabin for everyone. Moreover, the car is produced optionally with a 7-seater version. The seats were not very comfortable. These were the simplest chairs without lateral supports, so when cornering it was possible to leave them. However, such seats still have an advantage. They folded completely, resulting in a uniform, flat surface.
The plastic panel was installed for the first time in the new model with index 3160. UAZ "Patriot" acquired a multifunctional center console, onwhich contained a large number of buttons. Each of them was responsible for one or another option. The steering wheel of the car was made in the form of three spokes. The gearbox and transfer case control unit had enough space to stow the various levers.
Engines
All engines installed on the Patriot met only the Euro-2 standard. Among the units were the ZMZ and UMZ models. It was this configuration that the manufacturer offered for the UAZ-3160.
Specifications UMP:
Model 4213 was an injection engine, the volume of which was 2.9 liters, had a power of 104 liters. s
Specifications ZMZ:
The unit was presented in 2 variants. The first is the already familiar 409 with some modifications in the form of an installed injector. Its volume was 2.7 liters, and the power was 128 liters. With. The second is an engine running on a diesel engine from ZMZ 5143.10. A distinctive feature of this installation was distributed injection
Technical equipment
The average consumption of a car with a 409.10 engine was 13 liters. Most motorists purchased the "Patriot" not only because of the reduced fuel consumption, but also because of the excellent off-road patency. The suspension of the car had a reinforced quality. Front was dependent spring. It was completed with a transverse stabilizer bar, as well as longitudinal rods. In addition, after completion, the cars were equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers for high-quality control and prevention of rocking. Rear suspension spring. She, as well as the front, modified.
The front brake system was represented by ventilated disc brakes, rear drums, UAZ-3160 three-row radiator. The box in such models is a 4-speed manual. This is due to the fact that the car was more intended for driving in difficult places. The main drive of the car is rear, additionally, if necessary, the front was connected. Most owners spoke negatively about the car due to frequent breakdowns of a different nature.
