UAZ "Patriot" will receive a revolution option

Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant has patented a number of innovations for its cars. One of the most unexpected options is the electronic parking brake, which will be installed at first in the Patriot UAZ SUV.

Most likely, new options will appear already in the next 2020 model year and will be tested first of all in the flagship Patriot model. The car will receive a different floor tunnel with air ducts and USB connectors for rear passengers, an armrest with a compartment for small items and cup holders will also appear that will be hidden under a sliding curtain. But the most interesting innovation will be the appearance of an electric parking brake at the Patriot models with an automatic transmission. As AUTOSTAT previously reported, from October 1st, Russian dealers of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant began the sales of Patriot SUVs with an automatic gearbox. The flagship model with an "automatic" transmission is available in four trim levels at a price of 1 million 034 thousand rubles. As noted, when driving on a highway with a constant speed of 90 km / h, UAZ Patriot with an “automatic” consumes 2 liters less than an SUV with a manual gearbox.
