UAZ Patriot

The UAZ Patriot is a mid-size body-on-frame SUV produced by the UAZ division of Sollers in Ulyanovsk, Russia. It was introduced in 2005 and replaced the older UAZ Simbir. Extensive use of newer parts, large carrying capacity, good off-road capabilities and an affordable price predicted good sales in Russia; 12,011 units were sold in the year 2007.
The SUV accommodates five adults and can carry about 200 kilograms of cargo.
In October 2011, UAZ announced the release of a limited edition SUV in honour of the 70th anniversary of the plant. Cars of the anniversary series have different exterior and interior trim details.
In May 2012, the plant built a restyled model of the UAZ Patriot with a different dashboard, which no longer had a handle for the front passenger. It had a new, safer four-spoke steering wheel from the Japanese Company Takata-Petri, 2DIN media player and a USB-connector for flash drives....
