2020 UAZ 3170 crossover

6L50 six-speed automatic already sold two million copies. It was used on many models, including the previous “treshki” BMW and crossover BMW X3.

It was used on many models, including the previous “treshki” BMW and crossover BMW X3. Now these boxes are claimed only by the Indian Tata and UAZ.

Basic tests for calibrations took place in Sochi. The emphasis is not on shift speed and smoothness. As well as on the job boxes at low and medium speeds. For example, the control unit added mode of the movement with a slope at low speeds when the pedal is released the gas box will not shift up and will keep the lower gear, simulating assistant descent from the mountain. Had to modify the system stability than do specialists Bosch. But the suspension setup remained the same: the Patriot gained 33 kg, and this, according to the engineers, not the changes for which it is worth to change something.

Not managed automatically “Patrick” to enter the market, like the Internet was a rumor that the box is all Chinese. It is so strongly etched in minds that to convince people of American-European origin of machine is almost impossible.

Of course, Chinese components is the selector (actually the handle that the driver sees) and his drive. But the rest comes from the main plant in Strasbourg. And always will be — the company Punch have contractual obligations to General Motors, according to which the French are unable to move production to China. For this reason, the machine will never be localized with us.

Changes were made to the engine ZMZ-Pro. He has a new prop, odnoklapannaya thermostat instead of a double flap, new water pump. The fence coolant for the heater is conducted from the head unit and not of the actual unit.Changes were made to the engine ZMZ-Pro.

Machines are completely assembled in Strasbourg and delivered to the UAZ is already flooded with oil.Machines are completely assembled in Strasbourg and delivered to the UAZ is already flooded with oil.

Oil filled for lifetime, and change according to the regulations, only the filter. As TRANSMISSIONI use “sixth” Dexron, which need ten liters. The warranty on the machine is the same as the whole car – three years or 100 thousand kilometers. “Flexible” flywheel — the company Schaeffler.

To put a new box, had to change the gender of the body in the front — no need to make a hole for the shifter needed in cars with the mechanics.

Also changed the rubber compound of the front legs of the body and a completely reworked rear mount, the result is to halve the level of vibration.

Front driveshaft lengthened and rear — on the contrary, shorter. The main pair is the same. Unlike cars with the mechanics, which put as transfer case Dymos, and the Indian Divgi, auto Patriots relies entirely Divgi. It is the same chain, with the ratio of reduction gearing of 2.48.

Modified cooling system: thermostat now odnoklapannaya instead of the double flap. There is a new water pump and the coolant return is from the head block, not the cylinder. This should improve the heating of the cabin by 20 %. Work or not, we learn in winter.

Shooting with anticipation

Patriot with a gun can be calculated by the grille (instead of chrome it is framed in black lacquer) and the original wheels. Liked the new driver’s seat. This will be on all trucks Edition I — with the best lateral support and the hard gasket (not “taburetochnye”, as it was before). On the background of the machine selector and two pedals lost even new multimedia system, although it is also thoroughly questioned and added functionality. Changed menu, improved feedback screen on the touch — now is too slow they are just slow.

To disperse hundreds of Patriot with a gun loses himself with the mechanics for about a second. Small price to pay for comfort!To disperse hundreds of Patriot with a gun loses himself with the mechanics for about a second. Small price to pay for comfort!

The pallet machine is not protected, but hanging high, and therefore outside the zone of risk. Patriot with a gun can overcome the 70‑centimeter broad.The pallet machine is not protected, but hanging high, and therefore outside the zone of risk. Patriot with a gun can overcome the 70‑centimeter broad.

The most expensive is a Patriot with a gun costs 1 298 000. The cost of an automatic gearbox in its pure form — about 100 thousand rubles. Turns out the rest was the fee for improvements, testing and other expenses.

Experienced Assembly on the conveyor is in full swing, and commodity cars will appear at dealers in September. Azouzi said that the quota of the first batch already sold out. A plan — 8000 automatic Patriots a year.

Whatever was the market situation, the automatic transmission is the best thing that ever happened to Patriot in recent years. But initially, this machine was considered for the new SUV UAZ‑3170. But, no matter how we were assured that this project is alive, the situation resembles an artificial coma. A pity — you can not always get into the “Patriotic” faith in something bigger and to be stronger than the car, so it is more reliable and safer.
