"UAZ-Patriot" - photo and overview of external appearance

The design of the new SUV has not changed much. Substantial changes have concerned only the block of headlights of the main light, which have now acquired daytime LED lights, as well as wheel disks, which have now become cast. In other details, the appearance was still conservative and even slightly aggressive.

In general, the exterior of the car, although it turned out to be quite decent, but at its sight the motorists do not have a feeling of delight.

"UAZ-Patriot" - reviews of owners about the interior

If the exterior of the car was transformed only slightly, then within the changes was made very, very much. First of all, they touched the steering wheel (it became a 4-spoke), as well as a dashboard, which now, according to company experts, is made of soft plastic. It is also worth mentioning that the noise level dropped significantly in the new UAZ-Patriot jeep. The owners' comments point out the absence of a metal handle, which was previously placed in the front of the passenger compartment. According to the manufacturer, thanks to a 30 percent reduction in the amount of "extra" parts, the salon of the novelty has become more noiseless, and now creaks and vibrations during the car's movement in the cabin no longer arise.
