According to the publication, for now an SUV with a gasoline engine and a six-speed manual transmission is certified under this name. Apparently, the diesel version, equipped with a localized 2.0-liter Sollers 550010 turbodiesel with a capacity of 136 hp and a six-speed manual, which is also produced in Russia, will also have the same name.

The new “six-speed” is produced under license from the Chinese company JAC at the industrial site of the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant (ZMZ) in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Moreover, it is already deeply localized: the Sollers group even manufactures aluminum crankcases for it at the RosALit foundry in Zavolzhye.

According to updated information, now the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is only “testing” the production of the restyled Patriot, Pickup and Profi. They should be assembled at full capacity by the end of autumn.

As a reminder, with the update, the UAZ Patriot will even receive options that it never had before. Among them are an electromechanical transfer case with a washer control, several USB ports of different configurations, including USB-C, and a multimedia system with a 9-inch display, which will be added to the model’s equipment in the future.

Among other changes in the upcoming restyling are fully LED optics (headlights, taillights and fog lights), front parking sensors, a new multi-wheel with a thickened leather rim and a magnesium frame of Russian production and a more visually modern central console with a single-zone climate control, a multimedia display and buttons for two-level heating of the front seats.

Earlier today it became known that the production of the updated Patriot and Pickup SUVs, as well as Profi commercial trucks, has already begun at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Dealers are already preparing to start sales of the upgraded models.
