UAZ "Patriot" car (diesel, 51432 ZMZ): review, specifications, description and reviews
"Patriot" is a medium-sized SUV,which is mass-produced at the UAZ plant since 2005. At that time, the model was quite crude, and that's why it was constantly being updated every year. To date, there have been many modifications of this SUV, including "Patriot" (diesel, ZMZ-51432). What is noteworthy, the first diesels were put up with Iveco. However, in view of the many technical defects, they were withdrawn from production. At the moment the main diesel unit for the Patriot is ZMZ-51432. Reviews, specifications, as well as a review of UAZ - later in this article.
Interesting Facts
It should be noted that the predecessor of allknown "Patriot" is the UAZ "Simbir", which had a number index of 3162. The car was produced from 2000 to 2005. Interestingly, Patriot became the first car in UAZ, which was equipped with air conditioning, airbags, multimedia system, ABS and other "benefits of civilization." By the way, it was the Patriot that was used for the first time for a single fuel tank system (previously there were two separate ones - not the most thoughtful design).
Design
The appearance of the Ulyanovsk SUV has a dynamic and aggressive silhouette. The machine is recognizable from afar by characteristic chopped shapes and crystal "eye-catching" optics.
As for the overall dimensions, they are practicallydo not differ from the predecessor "Simbir". So, the length of the UAZ ZMZ-51432 SUV "Patriot" is 4.78 meters, the width is 1.9 meters without taking into account the mirrors (with them - 21 centimeters more), the height is 2 meters. The ground clearance at the factory "Patriot" is 21 cm. But this is not the limit. Now ready-made sets for the suspension lift are being sold. So, in the arches calmly fit 33-inch mud tires. But with the standard clearance and stock wheels, the car behaves well off-road. It is not inferior to the famous "goat" according to the characteristics of patency.
Salon
Let's look inside the Ulyanovsk Patriot. Interior design deserves attention. Inside there is a modern panel, a center console and a multimedia steering wheel. Such at UAZ have not yet been used. In the center is a large multimedia display. However, it is only available in the maximum configuration. Inside there were chrome and aluminum inserts (more precisely, plastic, made "under aluminum"). The car is large enough mirrors.
Due to the high landing, the reviews mark a goodvisibility. Mirrors and the dashboard are very informative. Between the front seats now appeared armrest. By the way, the chairs themselves are sheathed with natural leather. But again, in the basic configuration, it is replaced by cloth. In the cabin there was a single-zone climate control. On the door cards - convenient buttons for controlling the window regulators (they are here on the electric drive). Well, with design "Ulyanovsk" nobly tried. However, the owners' reviews mark the previous solid plastic. Still, noise insulation requires improvements.
Technical characteristics - what was before?
As we noted earlier, the first dieselmodifications of UAZ were equipped with a turbodiesel engine of the brand IVECO F1A. He developed a power of 116 horsepower and gave 270 Nm of torque. What is noteworthy, the same engine was put on low-tonnage trucks Fiat Ducato. But on the UAZ this motor did not get accustomed - either from out-of-date characteristics, or from poor-quality assembly. The owners spoke about this motor quite badly.
What now?
At the moment, the IVECO F1A engine is notis installed on UAZ "Patriot". Instead, the Ulyanovsk plant adjusted the delivery of the power unit 51432 ZMZ. The engine with a cylinder capacity of 2.3 liters develops 114 horsepower. However, unlike the "Ivekovskiy", a more modern injection system is used here. At 51432 ZMZ fuel supply "Common Rail" was realized. This allowed to reduce fuel consumption and increase traction and performance characteristics.
The diesel ZMZ-51432 has an aluminum block andhead, and also features an upper camshaft arrangement. The unit meets the Euro-4 emission standards. In the engine, a chain drive of the gas distribution mechanism is used. On the valves there are hydraulic compensators of the gaps. The pressure on the nozzles is just colossal - 1450 bar. Also on the engine 51432 ZMZ a turbine is used, which allows obtaining a much higher efficiency.
How economical?
All motorists know that diesel, whatever it isnor was, will be an order of magnitude more economical than a gasoline engine. The diesel ZMZ-51432 was not an exception. Reviews say that the city's fuel consumption is up to 12 liters (although according to the passport data the car fits into the "top ten"). But still it is much less than the petrol. On UMZ-shnyh motors "Patriot" was incredibly voracious. The city "ate" up to twenty liters of gasoline. As for the 51432 ZMZ unit, its minimum consumption in real conditions is 8.5 liters (80 km / h on the cruising track). The owners' comments say that if you have a priority in economy, surely you should pay attention to the diesel modification of the Patriot.
How's it going?
Even before the release of the diesel version reviewsmotorists noted weak performance characteristics of gasoline engines. And all, even three-liter. The car clearly lacked power, it was necessary to twist it to four or five thousand. How does the car with the ZMZ-51432 unit behave on the road? "Patriot" differs more frisky dynamics of overclocking. The twisting moment is accessible practically from below, and on top - the turbine picks up. The maximum torque is available in the range of two thousand revolutions. If you press the accelerator pedal at this moment, you can feel a sharp pick-up. However, after 80, the thrust disappears. The machine is very slow in the range of 80-100. By the way, the maximum speed of the car is 135 kilometers per hour.
True, this is not at all comfortable for the Patriotspeed. Firstly, its machine is very difficult to dial. Secondly, hard plastic in the cabin makes itself felt. Plus to all - the characteristic roar of a diesel engine, which is difficult to remove even a few layers of noise insulation. The owners' comments say that the car clearly does not have the sixth gear. At 90 kilometers per hour the engine is already gaining 3,000 revolutions (and for the diesel it's a red line). By the way, the gearbox here is used from a gasoline engine (not the most technological solution). Therefore, it is possible that UAZ will be further developed.
Diesel off-road
Perhaps its main advantage here. Unlike gasoline engines, 51432 ZMZ is better at showing itself in the absence of roads. Where it was required a big moment, this unit let it down, but confidently pulled the car out of the trap. The petrol engines often had to "play" with the clutch, and the traction disappeared very quickly. Diesel for off-road - the most it is necessary, note the feedback of the owners.
Constructive shortcomings of the Patriot
To the negative moments of the "Patriot" design, drivers consider the low position of the bridges.
And if on the 469th the problem was solved by installingmilitary bridges, there is no such scheme here. Also on the "Patriot" there was a problem with the doors - the opening angle is too small. This problem, perhaps, has haunted UAZ since Soviet times, when the same "goat" appeared. Also, the quality of sound insulation has not improved. Already from the moment of purchase it is necessary to glue the salon yourself.
Prices and completing
The new UAZ "Partiot" will be available in several trim levels:
- "Standard".
- "Comfort".
- "Privilege".
- "Style".
For the base will have to pay 809 thousand rubles. This includes a safety airbag, 16-inch forged wheels, hydraulic booster, power windows and ABS. The top equipment is available for 1 million 30 thousand rubles.
This price includes 18-inch alloy wheels,a complete audio system with a 7-inch multimedia screen and six speakers, a rear-view camera, an ESP system, front and rear parking assist, heated seats, climate control and even steering heating. What to say, a very good level of equipment for the "Patriot". The only question is the price. After all, in the secondary market there are lots of good copies for a lower cost.
Conclusion
So, we found out what kind of reviews andtechnical characteristics of diesel UAZ "Patriot". As you can see, the power unit proved to be very good. The motor is economical, it pulls well and is unpretentious in maintenance. Perhaps, this is the best unit for a car of this type.
