Sanitary SUV
The “new” SUV (4x4) was the result of the development of the UAZ-452 A and, like its predecessor, was intended for medical service. In appearance, the cars were very similar: the newer model can only be distinguished by the missing internal guards on the windows. Another distinctive feature appeared a little later - the central side windows with rotary windows on the left side were replaced with monolithic ones.
In general, there is nothing particularly remarkable in the appearance of the UAZ-39629 - everything is simple and without frills. Apparently, no one thought about the beauty of the car when creating it.
The interior decoration of the cabin fully corresponds to the external data - laconic, practical, there is nothing superfluous, and everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The driver's cabin is separated from the sanitary room by a partition into which sliding glass is inserted. In the medical part of the cabin there are folding benches that can accommodate from 7 to 9 people or two stretchers can be installed on special mounts.
The engine in the UAZ-39629 is located under the casing in the cab to the right of the driver. This arrangement of the engine has certain advantages: in winter, the power unit becomes a source of additional heat to heat the interior, and in the event of a breakdown, it provides ease of repair, in almost any weather and regardless of the time of day.
The driver's seat does not differ in special amenities. The instrument panel also does not shine with a new design, but at the same time it contains all the sensors necessary for the driver.
In a word, if you remove the stickers from this car indicating that it belongs to the medical profession and repaint it in khaki color, then it will quite pass for a military vehicle, traditionally distinguished by its asceticism.

Since April 1997, the car plant decided to take care of the driver, passenger (doctor, paramedic) and even the person accompanying the patient. We replaced the old, not very comfortable seats with more comfortable ones with soft upholstery. Everything else remains unchanged.
Peculiarities
The UAZ-3962 ambulance, like all other representatives of the “loaf” family, has an engine located inside the cabin. This feature has several advantages:
In winter, the engine can act as an additional heater, more efficient than the standard one.
Maintenance and some repair work can be carried out without leaving the cab, which is especially convenient in bad weather conditions.
The model’s great popularity is also due to its excellent off-road capabilities. Already from the factory, the car is equipped with a two-stage transfer case with a reduction gear and a front axle, which, together with a fairly high ground clearance, allows it to overcome almost any road obstacles. That is why it is most often used in rural areas and off-road areas.
