The UAZ-469, later sold as the UAZ-3151 and UAZ Hunter, is an off-road military light utility vehicle manufactured by UAZ since 1971.

In the Soviet Union, it also saw widespread service in state organizations that needed a robust and durable off-road vehicle. Standard military versions included seating for seven personnel.

Performance Verdict
The 2.89L (100 Hp) petrol engine, while not designed for speed, provides adequate power and torque for off-road excursions and utility tasks. On-road acceleration is modest, prioritizing robustness over dynamic performance.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is a significant drawback, typical for a large displacement, naturally aspirated petrol engine from this era in a heavy off-road vehicle. Expect high consumption, especially under demanding conditions and off-road use.
