Review of the UAZ Cargo pickup truck
The cross-country ability of the new product, as insiders say, will increase. But first of all, let's focus on the appearance. Our 2018-2019 commercial pickup truck will undergo significant changes in the front end. Modernized structural elements will appear here, and even at the first cursory glance at which it will seem to a person that in front of him is a completely original vehicle.
The recognition of the UAZ Cargo exterior will remain. There is information that the car will go on sale with an unpainted bumper. It itself will be structurally connected to the false radiator grille. At the same time, elements of lighting technology are also, according to insiders, subject to revision.
Behind all the changes made, the end result will be a well-groomed appearance, a little familiar, a little transformed, but overall solid. Adding a few points in such a parameter as impressive appearance obviously wouldn’t hurt him.
Some journalists compare it with the updated Patriot. The front parts of both cars are similar, yes. Some even say that the appearance of the new Cargo will serve as the basis for the image of the Patriot 2022 model. Time will tell how it will be.
Specifications
All Cargo modifications are equipped with a ladder-type frame on which towing hooks are attached. The front axle is mounted on a spring suspension with double-acting shock absorbers, and leaf springs are used at the rear.
To reduce speed, front disc brakes with a floating caliper are used; drum mechanisms are retained at the rear with automatic adjustment of the gap between the shoe and the drum. The machines are equipped with a hydraulic power steering mechanism with variable gain (depending on speed).
Weight and dimensions
Weight and dimensions of the UAZ-2360 vehicle:
- length – 5320 mm;
- wheelbase – 3000 mm;
- width (including mirrors) – 2060 mm;
- height (with installed awning) – 2295 mm;
- ground clearance – 210 mm;
- curb weight – 1975 kg;
- permissible total weight – 2775 kg;
- maximum speed – 130 km/h.
The later released New Cargo, based on the Patriot car, has comparable overall dimensions. The all-metal platform with folding rear and side sides has dimensions of 2470x1870 mm, the height with the installed awning is 1400 mm. The cargo compartment area is 4.62 m², the useful volume reaches 6.46 m³ (designed to transport 4 pallets of 800x1200 mm format).
Engine and transmission
The UAZ Cargo is equipped with an in-line 4-cylinder ZMZ-409-06 engine with a distributed fuel injection system and a catalytic exhaust gas converter. The engine has a displacement of 2693 cm³ and develops a power of 135 hp. With.
The advantage is the high torque, reaching 217 N*m at a shaft speed of 3900 rpm. The power unit has forced liquid cooling; the interior heating radiator is included in the antifreeze circulation circuit. It is possible to install a manually controlled air conditioner.
The car is equipped with a manual 5-speed gearbox; a dry friction clutch controlled by a pedal is installed between the engine and transmission.
To distribute the power flow, a 2-speed Dymos chain-type transfer gearbox is used, which is connected to the drive axles by cardan shafts. The main pairs with differentials are installed, and remote shutdown of the drive to the front axle is provided.
An early modification of the UAZ-2360 Cargo was equipped with a ZMZ-409-10 gasoline engine with different technical characteristics. The unit develops a power of 128 hp. With. and complies with Euro-2 environmental standards.
The transmission included a domestic 5-speed gearbox and a 2-speed transfer gearbox of the classic type (with torque transmission by gears). A single lever is used to control the transfer mechanism; the introduction of gears with helical teeth has reduced the noise level.
Fuel consumption
The fuel supply is stored in a single plastic tank, which is located between the frame side members behind the cab. The tank capacity is 68 liters. The manufacturer claims average fuel consumption when driving on the highway at a speed of 90 km/h at 12 liters.
In city traffic, the engine consumes up to 18 liters of fuel. For refueling, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or 95 is used.
An early modification of the UAZ-2360 burns 13.2 liters of gasoline per 100 km on the highway (according to the manufacturer), in the city the parameter reaches 16-19 liters (depending on the air temperature and driving mode). The fuel supply is stored in 2 metal containers, which are fixed along the side members (capacity 42.5 liters each).
UAZ load capacity
The indicator has a value of 725 kg. The rear suspension design with leaf springs is not designed to withstand overload. If the sheets are overweight, they bend in the opposite direction, which leads to breakage of the suspension elements.
The low weight of the cargo is criticized by car owners who compare the UAZ Cargo with its analog Niva-ViS, capable of carrying up to 1400 kg of cargo.
Wheel formula
The Cargo vehicle belongs to the category of vehicles with all-wheel drive and a 4x4 wheel arrangement with the ability to forcibly disable or connect the front axle. Using all-wheel drive allows you to overcome off-road conditions or drive on washed out or icy roads. Disabling the front axle allows you to reduce fuel consumption when driving on asphalt highways.
Types and purpose of trailers
More often, UAZ trailers are sold by organizations that assemble converted military equipment equipped with sealed shelters and bridge lighting. This technique has a durable design and brutal appearance, but requires restoration of the frame and chassis. Copies purchased in the village are purchased in perfect condition at a low price, but often require restoration of documentation.
- The main and popular model is the UAZ-8109. Based on this unit, manufacturers produce their own, making minor changes. The advantages include high ground clearance and a short wheelbase. And the hooks at the back and high wings are designed to easily pull the unit out of the mud. Support posts, standard awning, stops and lighting equipment are also included in the package. The carrying capacity of this model is 0.5 tons. The weight of the device is 0.35 tons. It is intended for the UAZ-496 tractor-vehicle, its modifications and the UAZ Patriot.
The spring suspension, available on almost every UAZ model, and two additional shock absorbers ensure a smooth ride. All models are equipped with a durable water-repellent awning.
Design Features
The positive aspects of using the New Cargo machine include:
- the presence of a single fuel tank;
- installation of a metal screen to protect the fuel tank;
- use of an airbag in the steering wheel;
- use of seat belts with height adjustment;
- introduction of an analog instrument cluster with an on-board computer LCD screen;
- installation of electric drives for door locks;
- the use of a steering column with the ability to adjust the angle of inclination and reach;
- use of headlights with additional LED running lights;
- introduction of a block of steering column switches with expanded functionality;
- installation of an optional rear axle differential locking mechanism.
Cabin
One of the main advantages that the owner of a UAZ Cargo acquires is a high level of interior comfort. Like the basic UAZ Patriot models, the truck’s cabin is equipped with seats from the Korean Ssang Young Rexton SUV. These are very comfortable car seats with a wide range of adjustments, comfortable headrests, lateral support and lumbar support.
True, there is a minor and insignificant “fly in the ointment”: since the seats were not originally designed for this model, their adjustment lever ends up being pressed by the door. Therefore, it will not be possible to make adjustments while driving: this can only be done with the door slightly open.
The instrument panel is “patriotic”, made of inconspicuous but high-quality plastic. The sound and vibration insulation of the cabin is excellent. In addition to the hood and engine compartment, the bottom of the truck is also lined with sound-insulating materials. For cars of this class, the level of noise insulation deserves an excellent rating. On long trips there is no fatigue at all.
This will be especially appreciated by those who have driven tens and hundreds of thousands of kilometers on “loaves”, and (or) have experience of long-distance (300-500 km) trips in these outdated cars. It's really difficult physically! After such a trip, the whole body hurts, there is noise in the ears... UAZ “Cargo” provides the driver with truly royal conditions. Annoying noises and vibrations in the cabin occur only when driving at a speed of 120 km/h and above. This car is still not suitable for such speeds. If you drive 90-100 km/h, there is almost complete silence in the cabin.
The seating position in the cabin is high, providing the driver with good visibility. The presence of large rear-view mirrors on long-length brackets contributes to confident control of the situation on the road.
The pedal assembly is also convenient on the truck. Working with the pedals does not require unnecessary tension: unlike the “tadpole” and the “loaf”, on the UAZ “Cargo” all the pedals are located at the same level. At the same time, there is free space to the left of the pedal assembly, which is useful for changing position and resting the leg. The steering column is adjustable.
The downside of the UAZ Cargo cabin is the complete lack of free space. Both the driver and the only passenger can fit comfortably, and there is somewhere to put documents and small things (except for the glove compartment, there is a drawer between the seats). But there will be nowhere to put even a small bag or outerwear if two people go on a trip.
Difficulty of maintenance
The design of the car uses parts from off-road vehicles from the UAZ plant, so there are no difficulties during maintenance. The disadvantage is the tight layout of the engine compartment, which makes access to engine parts difficult.
The bumper has a footrest, but some components are difficult to reach. For example, to check the oil level in the crankcase, you need to lean over the engine and reach the dipstick with your hand. This leaves dirt and motor oil stains on your clothes.
Trailer for UAZ: types and purpose.
The UAZ SUV is equipped with a transfer gearbox and a powerful engine, which allow the vehicle not only to overcome difficult terrain, but also to transport heavy loads. But if the car is additionally equipped with a trailer for the UAZ, then the car will pull, in addition to its own load, at least half a ton. Trailers for UAZ are produced by the Ulyanovsk plant and other enterprises throughout Russia. Modifications of the basic prototype are collected into their own model range.
Car crash test
The manufacturer did not conduct an official crash test of the commercial truck, since deliveries of the vehicles to the European market are not planned. By order of the Auto-Review magazine, a test test of a new modification of the Patriot SUV was carried out in 2022, which showed displacement of the pedal assembly into the cabin and deformation of the doorway.
But the steering column moved up along with the airbag, which reduces driver protection. In the Cargo version, a frontal impact can cause the load to fall off, which will destroy the rear wall of the cabin and injure people.
Price of the new UAZ Cargo model in Russia
The price of the new UAZ Cargo release, as analysts tell us, may increase slightly in light of the vehicle features mentioned above in the text. If not for 700 thousand rubles, then for 800-900 thousand you can clearly afford it. 1 million .
The new UAZ is scheduled to go on sale in the spring-summer of 2017. Also before this time, a presentation of the car at one of the exhibitions is planned.
