Enjoying great popularity in ourthe country different models of UAZ advantageously differ from their imported competitors in reasonable cost and high traffic. But at the same time much inferior to the comfort of movement.
The first UAZ is a gasoline truckThe car with the power unit in 50 horsepowers, established before on "Victory". Equipped with a four-speed gearbox. The first copy was assembled in Ulyanovsk in 1949, and a year later the conveyor production began. The car received the UAZ-300 marking.
A few months later was modified, the following works were performed:
Legendary models of UAZs with index 69 began to be produced since 1954. The issue lasted 18 years, and the car received universal recognition.
In 1958, the factory produced the first samplethe legendary 450 series, which was produced before the next complete modernization, which occurred in 1985. On the basis of the beloved domestic SUV, the following UAZ models were produced:
It should be noted that the series was produced onlywith a drive on the rear axle. The front remained inactive. Only in 1966 was produced the all-wheel drive car, which received the official index of "452". On its platform, various modifications were made. And not only for public use, but also specialized cars intended for various uses. Here are some specialized models UAZ:
UAZ models did not cease to exist, but after restyling they received another marking.

469 | 3151-01 | Military version with two reducers | Jeep (funnel) |
469B | 315212-01 | A conventional version with a single reducer | - |

В начале 90-х годов автозавод попал под conversion, that is, its products have become available to the ordinary population of the country, and not only to state structures. This allowed to increase the implementation of the 3151 series.
UAZ engine models have become more diverse:Instead of the same type of gasoline with a volume of 2445 cm3, diesel engines were used, and subsequently injectors. This change has significantly increased the power and power of the car. And also simplified its operation.
To date, the Ulyanovsk Automobilethe plant retains a leading position in the production of off-road vehicles with increased terrain. In addition to the classic production of "funnels", "nurses" and "tadpoles", the production of a car with the index 315195 - UAZ "Hunter" was set up. The model is a fairly successful plant project, made using the latest technical equipment.
Another modern model of the plant is the UAZ"Patriot". It can be called a luxury car (compared to other products). But the batch production did not justify its hopes and did not enjoy such popularity as the classic UAZ.
The latest development of the restyling "Patriot"which is planned to be launched in the conveyor production this year, will meet many of the requirements of consumers, and most importantly, will be distinguished by a new engine model and corresponding moderate fuel consumption.
