The exterior of the car emphasizes its power, confidence, and reliability. The radiator grille is made in a new style — with an enlarged UAZ emblem and chrome inserts, and the headlights with LED daytime running lights make the car's appearance more expressive. Inside, there is a new instrument panel with expanded capabilities, updated gear shift and handbrake levers, as well as air duct deflectors with chrome trim.
For the PATRIOT, a leather interior is offered: seats with perforated natural leather in the central part and on headrests, plus leather trim on the steering wheel, gear shift lever, and parking brake.
Among the options is an electronic rear differential lock manufactured by Eaton, which can be ordered for any trim level, further improving off-road characteristics. The car is also equipped with active and passive safety systems: ESP, ABS, front airbags for driver and passenger, and pretensioner seat belts.
Significant changes have also occurred in the fuel system — now the SUV has received a single fuel tank.
On the market, the updated UAZ PATRIOT will be available in seven body colors and four trim levels: "Standard", "Comfort", "Style", and "Privilege".
Under the hood is an economical gasoline engine with a displacement of 2.7 liters and a power of 134.6 hp, meeting Euro-5 standards.
