According to information as of January 2023, UAZ has not announced plans to update the Patriot with an automatic transmission.
However, there are rumors that such an option may appear in the near future. That’s because many of the Patriot’s competitors already offer automatic transmission as an option.
However, UAZ has not officially confirmed this information. If the update is released, it is expected to be available towards the end of 2023 or early 2024.
