The domestic UAZ Cargo 23602-050 pickup truck has been mass-produced at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since 2008. This modification was developed specifically for farmers and rural owners. The basis for the creation of the UAZ Cargo pickup was the legendary all-wheel drive SUV Patriot. Well, let's look at how successful this modification was.
UAZ Cargo: design reviews and reviews
The manufacturer characterizes his pickup truck as a light commercial off-road vehicle. However, for UAZ high ground clearance and the ability to conquer off-road are not new at all. As for the car itself, UAZ Cargo fully copies the look of its co-platform. In the design of the novelty, the features of the familiarly known βPatriotβ are discerned - the same plastic bumper with black fog lamp plugs, wide wheel arches, a large windshield and headlights with a rounded shape on the edges. To be brief, the UAZ Cargo is the same Patriot, only with the body from the Farmer. The car cabin remained the same, it was only divided into 2 parts - the front was left for the driver, and a separate cargo platform was placed instead of the rear. Now the length of the chassis is as much as 3 meters, which has increased the usable space to 6 cubic meters. In general, motorists characterize the new modification as a "Patriot" in the collective farm design. It is very practical in agriculture, but in the city it does not belong.
Salon
Inside, with all their desire to make the Cargo comfortable, the engineers could not turn it into a BMW. He still remains a simple "Rusich", without unnecessary frills and pathos. A minimum of electronics (although there are electric windows and a radio tape recorder) and a loudly ringing panel return us from a fairy tale to reality. Hard plastic constantly rattles, deflector adjustment wheels fly out in the pits, the stove constantly breaks down - here it is, a real Russian SUV with its soul and character! Although the front panel design is very successful - it reminds the architecture of Japanese jeeps of the late 90s of the last century. On the other hand, why does the workhorse need all sorts of navigators, on-board computers and parking sensors? In rural areas, this only interferes with operation, and also makes the construction expensive.
UAZ Cargo: technical specifications
A gasoline engine from the Zavolzhsky engine plant ZMZ-409.10 is located under the hood of the novelty . With a volume of 2.7 liters, it develops a capacity of 128 horsepower. A five-speed manual gearbox is paired with a gasoline engine. According to passport data, the maximum speed of a UAZ Cargo pickup truck is 130 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the average fuel consumption is 13 liters per hundred.
Price
It is worth noting that UAZ Cargo is not only sold in tented versions. There are also modifications with an isothermal wagon. They cost almost the same - about 550-600 thousand rubles. Also, the buyer can purchase a pure chassis for 460 thousand rubles. For an additional fee (30 thousand rubles), UAZ Cargo can be converted from gasoline to gas.
