Did the creators of the UAZ 469 think that their car would become a legend Soviet car industry? Most likely, they are unlikely, because when creating the Soviet all-terrain vehicle, the developers thought about high cross-country ability, maintainability, low cost, simplicity of design and reliability, and what place their car would take in history was not so important, the main thing is that the car meets the needs of the army as much as possible. Still UAZ is one of the symbols Soviet Union and thanks to the efforts of designers, one of the best in terms of cross-country serial all-terrain vehicles in the world. The production of the UAZ 469 was started back in 1972, in 2003 the production of a modernized UAZ began at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Assembly Plant, the car was named Hunter , which translates from English as a hunter. AssemblyUAZ Hunter carried out not only in Ulyanovsk, but also in the Ukrainian city - Kremenchug. In this article, we will pay attention to the innovations of Ulyanovsk that were implemented in the Hunter, we will pay attention to the technical characteristics UAZ Hunter , as well as a general overview of the body and interior.

Appearance and body:

Like UAZ 469, UAZ Hunter is available in a five-door body, the roof can be hard - metal, or soft - awning. UAZ Hunter can be easily distinguished from the 469th model by plastic bumpers with built-in foglights. The front is decorated with a plastic overlay, please note attention to the photo of the front of the UAZ. When reviewing the UAZ from behind, you will find that spare wheel in Hunter it is mounted on the fifth door, and the tailgate itself is now one and, unlike the 469th, the door is one-piece and opens to the side, and does not consist of two parts. Due to the above-described plastic bumpers that UAZ installed in order to reduce the likelihood of a pedestrian getting injured when hit, and also because of a modified exhaust system entry and exit angles have been significantly reduced. Injection entry UAZ Hunter is - 30 degrees, and the departure angle is 33 degrees, which is less than that of last generation. New UAZ stands on wheels with a larger diameter than its predecessor, UAZ tire size Hunter - 225/75 R16. When buying, a hunter can be retrofitted with alloy wheels, and a future owner can buy a UAZ painted in metallic, previously it was something from the category of science fiction.

Salon and Equipment:

How to get into the salon UAZ- This is not an easy task for everyone. The body remained the same, and, accordingly, the narrow doorways did not become wider. When landing behind the wheel, you can grab onto the steering wheel itself, and when seated in the front passenger seat, you can take on a special handle located in the torpedo. UAZ instrument cluster Hunter in general, it has not changed, but the torpedo now has a plastic sheathing, the plastic is hard and cheap, but this is a significant step towards increasing comfort. Appearance torpedoes you can evaluate in the photo. Reading the speedometer readings, as before, is not convenient, the fact is that the right steering wheel spoke almost always overlaps the speedometer. On UAZ Huntera cigarette lighter appeared, which was not on the 469th, it would be nice to have an ashtray, but the men driving such an all-terrain vehicle will be able to do without it. Swivel windows, as on the model 469, are also a thing of the past, now the side windows are shifted to the side. The downside is that in winter, when the guides can leak with melt water and freeze, one day the glass may not open. Why open glass in winter? Suppose the stove broke, the windows fogged up and began to freeze - visibility is deteriorating, in a car like UAZ, which is designed for extreme conditions, the issue of interior ventilation is extremely important. The downside in comparison with the 469th is also the fact that the glass in the tailgate has become smaller, which means that rear visibility has deteriorated, but there is a janitor on the same glass. A huge ergonomic breakthrough was the appearance of one lever to control the transfer case and the inclusion of all-wheel drive earlier in the UAZ 469 there were two levers. wheels. The steering wheel in the UAZ has no adjustments at all, but the driver's seat is adjustable not only in standard planes: the backrest angle and longitudinal adjustment, but the degree of lumbar support can also be adjusted. UAZ brake pedalHunter is 8 cm higher than the gas pedal, in general, the driver who sat in UAZ after a passenger car, it will not be too easy to figure out the controls. What is the scheme for switching the old Arzamasovskaya gearbox, in which the rear one is switched on like on a normal car, the second one - this scheme is very convenient on difficult off-road conditions, when you need to quickly switch from first to rear and vice versa to loosen the car, but if on the go insteadthe second turn on the back - the sound will not be pleasant. The headlight hydrocorrector allows you to adjust the beam of headlights from the passenger compartment, it is very convenient when the trunk is loaded and the front part rises, while the headlights blind oncoming cars. A positive shift can be considered the ability to adjust the angle of the backrest rear seats, as well as the ability to quickly dismantle the second row. If desired, the future owner can buy a Hunter with two additional seats located on the sides in the trunk. Payload UAZ Hunter - 750kg. UAZ trunk volume - 210 liters.

Technical part and characteristics of UAZ Hunter

Today on UAZ Hunter a ZMZ 409 gasoline engine and a ZMZ 5143 diesel engine are installed. ZMZ 409 is equipped with fuel injection, the UAZ engine capacity is 2.7 liters. The sixteen-valve cylinder head helps develop a maximum of 128 horsepower, maximum torque of 216N.M is achieved at 3000 rpm. With such an engine, UAZ is able to develop 130 kilometers per hour on the highway. Previously, a 2.5-liter carburetor gasoline engine was available,the UAZ carburetor unit produces 189N.M of torque, the maximum torque is available at 2500 rpm, the power of the carburetor unit is modest - 84 horsepower. The ZMZ 5143 diesel engine is good because Idling even uphill UAZ rises without pressing the gas pedal, in general, diesel UAZ less fast, but the difference in driving on an empty and loaded car is not felt as much as in the petrol version. Diesel unit volume UAZ-2.3 liters, power - 96hp, and more torque than on the gasoline ZMZ 409 2.7 - 216N.M at 2,100 rpm. Earlier on UAZ Hunter a diesel engine of Polish origin was installed, but today Ulyanovsk is installing its own diesel engine, which surpasses the imported unit in terms of performance. Home couple in diesel UAZs shorter - 4.625, while in petrol hunters main couple - 4.11. UAZ Hunter in addition to the above-described Arzamas box, it can be equipped with a new five-speed Korean-made box, this box is already known from , the gears on it are switched on easier, and the switching scheme itself is traditional. The first gear in the Korean box is quite short, but in the second UAZ capable of accelerating to almost 80 km. Unlike the UAZ 469, the hunter is equipped with a spring suspension in front and a small leaf rear suspension, the work done on the suspension made it possible to significantly reduce the “goatiness” of the car.

Conclusion:

Of course, UAZ cannot be compared in comfort with and will not pass the turn with grace bmw, but this is one of the most passable cars in the world, exactly what you need for long-distance sorties, where there are no people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. After the transformation of the 469th into hunter, the car remained utilitarian, but still acquired some attributes of convenience.

UAZ Hunter replaced the UAZ-469 in 2003. Recently, this car has been modified several times. This "hunter" is in great demand among residents of remote regions Russian Federation. This vehicle also used for military purposes.

External features

Solid domestic SUV

Vehicle length - 4100 mm, width (without mirrors) - 1730 mm, height does not exceed 2025 mm. original design bodies, good interior, high technical capabilities make UAZ Hunter a universal vehicle.

As for the wheelbase, the Hunter is equipped with front and rear wheels with the same width - 1465 mm. The weight of this vehicle is 2550 kg. Fuel tank capacity - 70 l. In the cabin of the UAZ Hunter there are 5 seats.

If we consider the comfort of this vehicle, it should be noted that the doorways are narrow, so getting into the car is not very convenient. Chairs can be adjusted. As for the interior, it has a classic character. The finish is easy to wet clean. The noise isolation of the car is low, which is especially felt when driving on high speed. The SUV in question is equipped with a powerful stove that quickly warms up the interior in winter.

Often, the owners of this vehicle independently install 2 quiet stoves for back row. This is due to the fact that the standard heating unit is equipped with a noisy fan.

Technical capabilities

UAZ Hunter is in great demand due to its high technical characteristics. This car can be equipped with:

• gasoline engine;
• diesel power unit.

Base 16-valve Hunter engine

V basic equipment includes a gasoline engine ZMZ-409.10. It has 4 cylinders with a volume of 2.7 liters. The power unit is located in the front of the body, equipped with a 16-valve timing and distribution fuel injection system. The manufacturer in question recommends refueling with gasoline of a brand not lower than AI-92. The maximum engine power is 128 hp. With. Peak torque is considered to be 209.7 Nm. This limit can be reached at 2500 rpm.

If you use Hunter in mixed mode, gasoline consumption will be more than 13.2 liters per 100 km. In doing so, it must be taken into account that dynamic characteristics cars are weak. The maximum speed of this SUV is no more than 130 km / h. For starting acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h, it will take more than 35 seconds.

If we consider the diesel version of the UAZ, then it is equipped with a ZMZ-5143.20 engine. Such power unit has 4 cylinders and a volume of 2.2 liters. The package also includes a 16-valve timing and fuel injection system. The maximum power of such an engine is 113.5 liters. With. Peak torque can be reached at 270 Nm.

Comparing petrol and diesel engines in terms of fuel economy, the 2nd engine option is considered more attractive. In the combined cycle, fuel consumption is 10.6 liters per 100 km. As far as dynamics is concerned, diesel unit significantly inferior to the gasoline counterpart.

These models are equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission Hyundai Dymos. It is several times superior to the domestic version, which was previously installed on UAZ. It should be noted that the foreign box also has negative characteristics. Often it makes noise and creaks when switching.

Reliability of power units

A gasoline engine is more reliable than a diesel one. At the same time, both motors easily endure winters, providing the right amount of traction when driving. Hunters are equipped with durable chassis. Ahead are the following items.

1. Spring suspension.
2. 2 trailing arms.
3. Thrust.
4. Stabilizer.

The stern of the SUV is supported by 2 longitudinal springs. Hydropneumatic shock absorbers with double-sided action are provided in front and behind. The front wheels have ventilated disc brakes and piston calipers. The rear wheels are equipped with drum brakes. The SUV is equipped with a power steering.

It should be noted that this vehicle has an all-wheel drive system, represented by a two-stage box with axles. The constant mode is characterized by the supply of thrust to rear axle. If necessary, UAZ owners can hard block the front axle.

In terms of cross-country ability, Hunter is considered universal car. If the car is needed to overcome off-road, auto mechanics are advised to give preference to the diesel version. The SUV in question feels great on country roads. But if the car is still stuck in the mud or snow, you will need the help of a tractor.

It should be noted that you can’t ride off-road on factory tires for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase a set of special all-terrain tires. Motorists note that when driving at a speed of more than 100 km / h, loud noise and creaking are heard in the cabin. Hunter is easy to manage, however, you will need to turn the steering wheel more actively in tight turns. When braking, take into account the short braking distance when decelerating from 100 km/h to 0, especially if the vehicle was moving faster than 60 km/h.

Technical characteristics of the updated UAZ Hunter

The Soviet SUV UAZ-469 was produced almost unchanged from 1972 to 2003. However, in 2003, it was decided to modernize it and the production of its updated version, the UAZ Hunter, was launched.

UAZ Hunter is the one that goes under the serial number UAZ-315195. At first glance, it seems that it is no different from its predecessor, but if you understand its technical characteristics, as well as take a closer look at the interior and exterior, then the changes become noticeable.

Let's consider in more detail specifications this legendary car.

Engines

Okhotnik leaves the assembly line equipped with one of three motors:

UMZ-4213- it's petrol injection engine volume of 2.9 liters. Its maximum power of 104 horsepower is achieved at 4000 rpm, and the maximum 201 Nm at 3000 rpm. The device is in-line, 4 cylinders. In terms of environmental friendliness, it meets the Euro-2 standard. The highest speed that can be developed on this engine is 125 km / h.

It is difficult to call it economical, since the consumption is 14.5 liters in the combined cycle and 10 liters on the highway.

ZMZ-4091- This is also a gasoline engine with an injection system. Its volume is slightly less - 2.7 liters, but it is able to squeeze out more power - 94 kW at 4400 rpm. On our site, we talked about and how to convert power from kilowatts to hp. - 94 / 0.73, we get approximately 128 horsepower.

This engine, like the previous one, is an in-line 4-cylinder. Its consumption in the combined cycle is approximately 13.5 liters with a compression ratio of 9.0. Respectively optimum fuel for him will be the AI-92. The highest speed is 130 km / h. Environmental standard - Euro-3.

ZMZ 5143.10 It is a 2.2 liter diesel engine. Its maximum power rating of 72.8 kW (99 hp) is reached at 4000 rpm, and the maximum torque of 183 Nm at 1800 rpm. That is, we have a standard diesel engine that demonstrates its best qualities at low revs.

The maximum speed that can be developed on a UAZ Hunter equipped with this diesel engine is 120 km / h. The most optimal flow rate is 10 liters diesel fuel at a speed of 90 km/h. The engine complies with Euro-3 environmental standards.

Looking at the characteristics of the UAZ-315195 engines, we understand that it is ideal for driving on roads that are not the most best quality as well as off-road. But acquiring the "Hunter" as a city car is not entirely profitable - very high flow fuel.

transmission, suspension

If we compare the Hunter with its predecessor, then in the technical part, the suspension has undergone the most changes. So, now the front suspension is not spring, but spring dependent type. A stabilizer is installed to swallow holes and potholes roll stability. Shock absorbers are hydropneumatic (gas-oil), telescopic type.

Thanks to two trailing arms that fall on each shock absorber and a transverse link, the stroke of the shock absorber rod is increased.

The rear suspension is dependent on two springs, backed up again by hydropneumatic shock absorbers.

For off-road driving, the UAZ Hunter, like the UAZ-469, is fitted with 225/75 or 245/70 tires, which are worn on 16-inch wheels. The discs are stamped, that is, the most affordable option. In addition, it is stamped wheels that have a certain level of softness - they absorb vibrations upon impact, while cast or forged wheels are quite hard and are not designed for off-road travel.

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "RA -136785-3", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-136785-3", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

Ventilated disc brakes are installed on the front axle, drum brakes on the rear axle.

UAZ Hunter is a rear-wheel drive SUV with a hard-wired front-wheel drive. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual, there is also a 2-speed transfer case, which is used when the front-wheel drive is on.

Dimensions, interior, exterior

In terms of its dimensions, the UAZ-Hunter fits into the category of mid-size SUVs. Its body length is 4170 mm. Width with mirrors - 2010 mm, without mirrors - 1785 mm. Thanks to the increase to 2380 mm, there is more space for rear passengers. And just perfect for driving on bad roads - 21 centimeters.

The weight of the "Hunter" is 1.8-1.9 tons, when fully loaded - 2.5-2.55. Accordingly, he can take on board 650-675 kilograms of useful weight.

There is enough space in the cabin for seven people, the boarding formula is 2 + 3 + 2. If desired, a number of rear seats can be removed to increase the volume of the trunk. Of the benefits updated salon you can highlight the presence of a floor insulated with a carpet. But I don’t like the lack of a footboard - after all, Hunter is positioned as updated SUV for the city and the countryside, but with a clearance height of 21 centimeters, boarding and disembarking passengers can be difficult.

It is noticeable to the naked eye that the designers did not worry too much about the convenience of the driver: the panel is made of black plastic, the instruments are located inconveniently, especially the speedometer - almost under the steering wheel, and you have to bend over to see its readings. It is felt that the car belongs to the budget SUVs.

The car was designed for the harsh Russian winters, so the stove without a temperature controller, you can only control the direction of the flow and its strength with a damper.

Air ducts are located only under the windshield and front dashboard. That is, in winter, with a large number of people in the cabin, fogging of the side windows cannot be avoided.

The exterior is a bit more attractive - plastic or metal bumpers with fog lights installed in them, metal protection for the front suspension and steering rods, a hinged rear door with a spare tire in a case. In a word, we have enough inexpensive car with minimal amenities for driving in Russian off-road conditions.

Prices and reviews

Salon prices official dealers at the moment they range from 359 to 409 thousand rubles, but this is taking into account all discounts under the recycling program and on credit. If you buy without these programs, you can add at least another 90 thousand rubles to the indicated amounts. Please note that for the 70th anniversary of the Victory, a limited Victory series was released - the body is painted in the Trophy protective color, the price is from 409 thousand rubles.

Well, based on our own experience of using this car and from the reviews of other drivers, we can say the following:

• patency is good;
• a lot of marriage - clutch, radiator, lubrication system, bearings;
• at a speed of over 90 km / h, the car drives and, in principle, it is scary to drive further at such a speed;
• many minor flaws, ill-conceived stove, sliding windows.

In a word, the car is big, powerful. But still it feels Russian assembly, designers still have work to do. If you choose between UAZ Hunter and other budget SUVs, we would choose other cars of the same class - Chevrolet Niva, VAZ-2121, Renault Duster,

Russian SUV UAZ Hunter, which replaced cult models UAZ-469/3151, entered mass production at the facilities of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant on November 19, 2003, after which it entered the market almost immediately. The car continued the glorious traditions of its legendary ancestors, having won honor and respect from various segments of the population, and has been repeatedly updated during its life cycle. The latest upgrade to date affected the Hunter in February 2016, but it was limited only to the appearance of new security systems - Isofix mounts on the back sofa, an indicator for an unfastened driver's seat belt and a three-point belt for the middle passenger of the "gallery".

In the appearance of the UAZ Hunter Classic, a military bearing is instantly traced - the SUV looks absolutely brutal and archaic, from whatever angle you look. The purely utilitarian five-door body of the car is completely devoid of streamlining, but with all its appearance it demonstrates its readiness to conquer any off-road conditions - a simple front end with round optics and a flat hood, “pumped up” sidewalls with a high roof and huge wheel arches, as well as a monumental stern with a suspended “reserve” and compact lamps.

The overall length of the Hunter is 4100 mm, of which the wheelbase is 2380 mm, the width does not exceed 2010 mm (excluding side mirrors - 1730 mm), and the height is 2025 mm with a 210 mm clearance under the "belly". In the "combat" form, the car weighs 1845 kg, and its full mass slightly exceeds 2.5 tons.

The interior of the Ulyanovsk SUV is extremely ascetic and unremarkable to match its utilitarian essence. There is not even any talk of any entertainment opportunities here - everything instrument indicators on the front panel are exclusively analog, and the control of the usual “stove”, light and other functions is carried out through large buttons. Do not get out of the general concept and large wheel, and "clumsy" finishing materials.

The interior of the UAZ Hunter is designed to accommodate five people: the front riders are allocated amorphous seats, devoid of even a hint of lateral support, with a minimum number of adjustments, and the rear passengers do not live better because of the shapeless sofa, although they are offered enough space.

The cargo compartment of the UAZ Hunter Classic in its standard form holds 1130 liters of luggage, and with the second row of seats folded in a ratio of 60:40 - 2564 liters. But the “hold” is not separated from the passenger cabin in any way, but it has a wide opening and a rather convenient shape.

Specifications."Hunter" is equipped with only one gasoline engine- This is an in-line four-cylinder atmospheric unit ZMZ-409.10 with a working volume of 2.7 liters (2693 cubic centimeters), “sharpened” for fuel with an octane rating of at least “92”, which is equipped with distributed power technology and a 16-valve timing. Its maximum output is 128 horsepower at 4600 rpm and 210 Nm of torque already available at 2500 rpm.
Together with the motor, a 5-speed mechanical box gear and hardwired four-wheel drive type "part-time" with a 2-stage "razdatka" and a step-down row.

The Ulyanovsk SUV was equipped with in-line turbodiesel "fours":

• Initially, a Polish 2.4-liter Andoria 8-valve unit was offered for the car, generating 86 “horses” at 4000 rpm and 183 Nm of peak thrust at 1800 rpm.
• In 2005, it was replaced by the domestic 2.2-liter ZMZ-51432 engine with a 16-valve timing, developing 114 forces at 3500 rpm and 270 Nm at 1800-2800 rpm.
• And finally, the Chinese version of the 2.2-liter F-Diesel 4JB1T was installed on the Hunter, the return of which is 92 horsepower at 3600 rpm and 200 Nm at 2000 rpm.

UAZ Hunter can move in three modes: 2H - the traction reserve in full goes to the rear wheels; 4H - the moment is divided between the axes in a ratio of 50:50; 4L - four-wheel drive and a low range of gears for maximum traction (designed for heavy off-road).

On asphalt surfaces, the Hunter feels like a stranger - its top speed does not exceed 130 km / h, and acceleration to the first "hundred" takes "eternal" 35 seconds. Yes, and eats an SUV "for two" - average consumption fuel on a suburban highway is 13.2 liters for every 100 km in combined mode (for other cycles, the Ulyanovsk automaker does not disclose figures).

But outside of hard roads, the car is in its element - it is able to overcome water obstacles up to 500 mm deep, and its approach and departure angles are 30 and 33 degrees, respectively.

UAZ Hunter Classic is based on a strong ladder-type frame, to which an all-metal body and power point in a longitudinal position. Both front and rear, the SUV is equipped with continuous axles. In the first case, a spring structure with a pair trailing arms, transverse link and stabilizer, and in the second - several longitudinal semi-elliptical leaf springs.
By default in steering system The machine has an integrated hydraulic control booster, and its braking complex is expressed by front disc mechanisms with two-piston calipers and rear drum devices.

Options and prices. On the Russian market The "classic" UAZ Hunter in 2016 is sold at a price of 589,000 rubles.
The standard equipment of the Ulyanovsk SUV includes front and rear seat belts, 16-inch steel wheels with 225/75/R16 tires, power steering, cigarette lighter, seat trim with washable cloth and headlight hydrocorrector.
For a surcharge, the car can be "put" on wheels with light-alloy "skating rinks" and painted in metallic color.

This model has replaced legendary car UAZ-469 (UAZ-3151), which lasted more than 30 years on the assembly line. Hunter outwardly resembles its predecessor, but was created on a fundamentally new platform. A set of new technical solutions and the use of modern components made it possible to create an economical, dynamic, reliable, stable and comfortable SUV. At the same time, it was possible to maintain the traditional advantages of UAZs: excellent cross-country ability and low price.

Strict military bearing acquired an urban gloss and style. New, more modern, aesthetic and safe plastic bumpers with integrated foglights are striking. Decorative fender liner that crawls over the fenders complements the large 16-inch wheels. Instead of rotary windows, sliding windows are now installed, which improves visibility, interior ventilation and facilitates access to the rear-view mirrors for their adjustment. The double closed door sealing circuit makes the car interior less noisy, helps to maintain the microclimate in the cabin, and prevents the penetration of moisture. Access to the trunk is now opened by a hinged rear door (the side tailgate is installed on the version with an awning). Looks good and posted on tailgate spare, hidden in a case. For a substantial surcharge, Hunter can be supplied with alloy wheels and paint the car in metallic.

The interior of the car has undergone significant changes. The interior space has ceased to be ascetic and allows the driver and passengers to comfortably settle down. Newly designed front seats with fabric upholstery received longitudinal adjustment, which allows both tall drivers and people of average height to comfortably get behind the wheel. Despite the fact that the steering column is not adjustable in height or reach. There are only three adjustments themselves - backrest tilt, lumbar support adjustment and longitudinal. Adjustable backrest angle and lumbar support of the front seats help to properly distribute the load on the body and make long-distance travel more comfortable.

Rear passengers will also be able to get comfortable. Legroom is enough even for very tall people. Of the adjustments for the rear seats, only the backrest is provided. And if you want, you can omit them to get sleeping place. For a surcharge in luggage compartment Hunter can install two more seats.

Despite the high landing, the steps are not provided. Torpedo is made of dark gray plastic. The speedometer has settled somewhere under the steering wheel, so it is extremely difficult to read the readings from it, since they are hidden behind the right steering wheel spoke and the right steering column switch. Sensors for oil pressure, battery charging, engine temperature and the amount of fuel in the tanks remained on the center console (there are two of them in the Hunter). But it is also difficult to read information from them, since the devices are not deployed to the driver, but are located parallel to the dash line.

Designed for use in harsh environments Russian winter, Hunter received insulated floors covered with carpet. The stove is turned on by pressing a switch under the center console. There are no air temperature adjustments here - the toggle switch regulates only the blowing force (medium and strong mode). If it is very cold outside, the driver can open the damper, and warm air will flow into the cabin directly from the fan, which will warm the air much faster. Blowers are provided only under the windshield and under the instrument panel.

UAZ Hunter is equipped with one of four engines: a new 16-valve gasoline engine ZMZ-409.10 (volume 2.7 liters, power 140 hp) equipped with fuel injection and exhaust gas aftertreatment systems (meets Euro II standards), Ulyanovsk UMZ-409.10 (carburetor, 2.9 liters , power 100 hp), diesel engine ZMZ-5143 (volume 2.24 liters, power 98 hp) Polish turbodiesel 4ST90-Andoria (volume 2.4 liters, power 86 hp). All cars have LUK clutch, 5-speed gearbox, helical transfer case, new Spicer axles, front disc brakes. The Hunter's front suspension became spring, while the rear remained spring. This combination allows you to swallow small potholes in the road.

Easy to operate, UAZ Hunter is unpretentious in maintenance. Its high dynamic performance, moderate fuel consumption, excellent cross-country ability and high load capacity will surely please the future owner.
