The domestic UAZ Cargo pickup 23602-050 has been mass-produced at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since 2008. This modification was developed specifically for farmers and owners of rural land. The basis for the creation of the pickup "UAZ Cargo" was the legendary all-wheel drive SUV "Patriot". Well, let's take a look at how successful this modification turned out to be.

UAZ Cargo: reviews and design review

The manufacturer describes his pickup truck as a light commercial off-road vehicle. However, for UAZ, high ground clearance and the ability to conquer off-road are not at all new. As for the car itself, UAZ Cargo completely copies the appearance of its co-platformer. In the design of the novelty, the features of the painfully familiar "Patriot" are guessed - the same plastic bumper with black foglight plugs, wide wheel arches, a large windshield and headlights with rounded edges. To be brief, the UAZ Cargo is the same Patriot, only with a body from the Farmer. The cab of the car remained the same, it was only divided into 2 parts - the front was left for the driver, and instead of the rear, a separate cargo platform was placed. Now lengththe chassis is as much as 3 meters, which increased the usable space to 6 cubic meters. In general, motorists characterize the new modification as a "Patriot" in the collective farm version. She is very practical in agriculture, but she does not belong in the city.

Salon

Inside, with all their desire to make the Cargo comfortable, the engineers could not turn it into a BMW. He still remains a simple "Russian", without unnecessary bells and whistles and pathos. A minimum of electronics (although there are power windows and a radio tape recorder) and a loud ringing panel bring us back from a fairy tale to reality. Hard plastic constantly rattles, deflector adjustment wheels fly out in the pits, the stove constantly breaks down - here it is, a real Russian SUV with its own soul and character! Although the design of the front panel is very successful - it resembles the architecture of Japanese jeeps of the late 90s of the last century. On the other hand, why does a workhorse need all sorts of navigators, on-board computers and parking sensors? In rural areas, this only interferes with operation, and also makes the construction expensive.

UAZ Cargo: specifications

Under the hood of the novelty is a gasoline engine from the Zavolzhsky motor plant ZMZ-409.10. With its volume of 2.7 liters, it develops a power of 128 horsepower. Paired with a gasoline engine is a five-speed manual gearbox. According to passport data, the maximum speed of the UAZ Cargo pickup truck is 130 kilometers perhour. The average fuel consumption is 13 liters per hundred.

Price

It is worth noting that UAZ Cargo is sold not only in a tent version. There are also modifications with an isothermal van. They cost almost the same - about 550-600 thousand rubles. Also, the buyer can purchase a pure chassis for 460 thousand rubles. For an additional fee (30 thousand rubles), UAZ Cargo can be converted from gasoline to gas.
