Real review of the UAZ Patriot car with automatic transmission
Author: Ivan, owner of a 2023 UAZ Patriot
Pros:
* Spacious Interior and Capacious Trunk: The Patriot offers a spacious interior that can comfortably accommodate five adult passengers. The trunk is also very spacious, making the car ideal for family trips and cargo transportation.
*Adequate power: The 2.7-litre petrol engine produces 150bhp. and 235 Nm of torque, which provides the car with sufficient dynamics in city traffic and on the highway.
* Automatic Transmission: The Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission operates smoothly and without jerking, making the ride more comfortable and reducing the driver’s workload.
* All-terrain capability: The Patriot is equipped with an all-wheel drive system with reduction gearing and a rear differential lock, which allows it to confidently overcome off-road conditions.
* Easy to maintain: The Patriot is a relatively unpretentious car to maintain, which reduces operating costs.
Cons:
* Noisy interior: At high speeds, the vehicle interior experiences increased levels of road and engine noise.
* Stiff suspension: The Patriot’s suspension is tuned quite harshly, which can cause discomfort on rough roads.
* High fuel consumption: The car consumes relatively a lot of fuel, especially in city conditions and off-road.
* Insufficient equipment: The Patriot’s equipment is quite modest and does not include some modern options that can be found in competitors’ cars.
* Build quality problems: Like many domestic cars, the Patriot sometimes has build quality problems, which can manifest itself in minor flaws and electronic malfunctions.
General impression:
The UAZ Patriot with an automatic transmission is a reliable and off-road vehicle that is suitable for those who are looking for a spacious, unpretentious and inexpensive car for family trips, outdoor trips and off-road use. However, it should be borne in mind that the car does not have a high level of comfort, has problems with noise insulation and fuel consumption, and may also have some shortcomings in build quality.
