Those who are in a hurry to bury UAZ cars are completely wrong. Not only will the "Loaf" be updated next year, but the "Hunter" will return in a new guise. The new UAZ Hunter of the 2016-2017 model promises to improve markedly. The manufacturer claims that in this version of its car, the company decided to focus on improving safety.
The popular SUV, which first hit the market in 2003, actually boasts that its roots go even further back to 1972. The UAZ-469 was Hunter's predecessor, and that car, in turn, could boast of no less, if not more, popularity.
How it all started
The love of motorists for cars that are produced from under the Ulyanovsk conveyor car factory You can't just take it and explain it. They symbolize a whole era long gone in history. When UAZ announced that Hunter would no longer please his fans with future updates, many were upset.
After a while, the Victory Series came out, timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory in the Second World War. It is noteworthy that the inscription “Maestro” was made separately on the body of the car against the background of the music staff, which refers us to the legendary Soviet film “Only “old men” go to battle”, where he starred and was directed by the favorite of a whole generation of viewers, Leonid Fedorovich Bykov .
Exterior of the "Hunter"
Several previous generations of UAZ Hunter, including the Victory Series, were greeted with enthusiasm by motorists. Despite the fact that its sales were constantly falling, there were enough satisfied faces to continue to produce a car. After the winning streak, UAZ quite seriously announced the cessation of car production, while according to the latest rumors a new version already on the way.
Also, along with Hunter, the UAZ Patriot will also be updated. More detailed information about the SUV -.
The manufacturer probably got excited and hurried when he shocked the entire automotive community with such news. The next update has noticeably changed externally. The inscription, of course, was removed from the case. New Hunter looks more like now modern version off-road vehicle than on the previous one.
The tailgate of the future Hunter will be able to open wide, and special hooks will be installed on the bumper for possible towing. Headlight hydrocorrector will provide the driver good visibility in the process of movement.
The main focus of the novelty is on safety. There are also updates in the cabin, where the emphasis was placed on increased comfort passengers while traveling.
The manufacturer promises to use tie rod protection in the UAZ Hunter of the 2017 model, which has already been tested in the Pobednaya version. Tires, according to insiders, will also move to a novelty from her: they will be presented in the face of Contyre Expedition.
The interior of the UAZ after the winning streak
Safety passengers in the cabin is guaranteed by thoughtful seat belt. Also on the dashboard there is a corresponding indicator that will notify the driver that he did not have time to buckle up.
There are several subtle innovations that merge into the contrast of a person's idea of \u200b\u200ba salon of any other modern SUV. Anyone who is not familiar with Hunter can easily think that everything was originally like this here, and therefore he will be surprised if you tell him that, for example, he used to have child seat attachments, etc.
IsoFix, i.e. child seat anchors, have been added to updated UAZ Hunter is no coincidence. They are immediately on the two extreme seats in the back row. The passenger who will sit in the middle is invited to secure themselves with a three-point seat belt.
The Classic version will also include power steering and a cigarette lighter. Dashboard will be slightly modernized, and the gearbox will get a little more smoothness in motion.
Specifications of the updated Hunter
Technical data UAZ Hunter 2017 model will not change much since the Victory series: all the same Gas engine, all the same gearboxes. The choice, in addition to the drive, you can be content with various types wheel rims.
The presented several modifications will surely find their buyer, and the possibilities of each of them will have to put an end to thought. All versions do not differ much from each other, but the modification with the full range of functions presented gives the driver a little more options.
When will it appear on sale in Russia and at what price
Insiders talk about the early appearance of the new UAZ Hunter on Russian market. All modifications of the future updated car model will appear on free sale closer to the middle of 2017. Price will vary depending on configuration. Be that as it may, the cost of an SUV will be similar to the price tag of the Victory Series - about 500 thousand rubles.
The updated version of the UAZ Hunter 2019 has become direct evidence that its creators have really taken a big step towards modern technologies, fashion design solutions. The eye is immediately drawn to the radiator grille in the form of a narrow slot, huge round headlights, upgraded bumper.
The new optics has become technically advanced. It consists of two round blocks. Just below them you can see parking lights. The big surprise was new design bumper, which is now attached to the body, and not to the frame, as it was before.
Among the other advantages of a beginner, a large area can be distinguished windshield, the angle of inclination of which is very small, which contributes to good visibility. I also note the narrow A-pillars, which were additionally reinforced.
The sidewalls can be seen in the photo of UAZ Hunter 2019 2020. A completely flat roof line duplicates the side glazing line. By the way, the windows themselves have become much larger. The doorways are wide, so passengers will have no problems getting in and out. pleasant surprise huge folding side mirrors.
New body UAZ Hunter 2019 Shows full readiness conquer any open spaces and impassability. Behind the new car looks no less nice and majestic. The pride is a huge swing door with a hanging spare wheel. Compact lanterns modestly perched on the sides. rear bumper tiny, almost invisible. Its small, protruding part serves as a threshold, on which it is convenient to rest luggage during loading.
Ground clearance corresponds to 210 mm. And the rest of the dimensions of the UAZ Hunter 2019 are quite worthy of respect. The length of the car is 4100 mm, width 2010 mm. The height left is 2025 mm.
car interior
Unremarkable, modest interior UAZ Hunter 2020 model year few people will be delighted. However, in terms of convenience, comfort, it certainly deserves attention. There is no front panel as such. All switches, control devices, regulators are assembled on the same plane. However, their location raises no objections. All functions can be easily reached.
The same modest style supports the unpretentious steering wheel. The “steering wheel” itself has grown a little in size, the grip is comfortable. Instead of the usual glove compartment, there is a massive metal handle. According to reviews owners of UAZ Hunter 2019, interior decoration interior, these are cheap finishing materials, hard plastic.
The front seats are devoid of any lateral support. They are tough enough. Completely flat seat backs are uncomfortable. After several hours of sitting in such chairs, the back and neck begin to ache. In addition, the front seats have a minimum range of adjustments.
Passengers in the back row do not have to rely on comfort either. The rear sofa can be called shapeless, although the stock free space there will be enough for three passengers. 
The cargo compartment holds approximately 1130 liters. Second row seats fold 60/40. This feature allows you to increase the luggage space up to 2564 liters. The only drawback is that the luggage compartment is not separated from the passenger compartment.
Equipment base case UAZ Hunter 2019:
- front, back straps security;
- radio tape recorder;
- power steering;
- cigarette lighter;
- interior trim with washable cloth;
- hydraulic adjustment of the headlights;
- sunroof.
Specifications
The fact that the car will be supplied exclusively with one engine option was completely disappointing. Specifications UAZ Hunter 2019 will provide a 2.7-liter gasoline power unit. Its return is 128 hp. To him, the manufacturer offers a simple manual transmission at 5 speeds.
On an ordinary asphalt road, the car is able to develop top speed up to 130 km/h. Dreams of great acceleration dynamics will have to be abandoned forever. New car accelerates to the first hundred in the same 35 seconds as its predecessor. It is quite obvious that no work has been done to improve dynamism at all. You can learn more about this from the 2019 UAZ Hunter test drive video.
And what about fuel consumption? Here, future owners will also be disappointed. Russian SUV "eats for two". Outside the city, he will need about 13.2 liters per hundred kilometers. Mixed mode will require almost 15.0 liters, but in the city this figure rises to 17 liters. 
But the excellent ability of the car to easily overcome impassability, potholes, pits, snowdrifts up to 500 mm high and deep, more than covers all its shortcomings. And UAZ does not have to be maneuverable, because the angle of entry and exit is only 30 and 33 degrees. Plus, the basis of the SUV is a very strong ladder-type frame. It is to it that an all-metal, reinforced body is attached.
In the vastness of our country, the 2019 UAZ Hunter is sold in only one configuration at a price of 600,000 rubles. For a surcharge, you can install some additional options. For example, install alloy wheels, floodlights fog lights or get a car in metallic color.
The more options you want, the higher it will be UAZ price Hunter 2019. Its maximum limit can be designated as 780,000 rubles.
SUV competitors
UAZ Hunter 2019 2020 does not have as many direct competitors as it seems. Many of them are too superior domestic analogue both in price and equipment. Of the simpler budget options the most suitable rivals are Chevrolet Niva and Nissan Terrano.
The first contender for leadership has a beautiful, memorable body design, good ergonomics driver's seat. The main advantage of Chevrolet is its high ground clearance 200 mm. The car is hardy, strong, has:
- excellent dynamic data;
- impeccable patency;
- ability to cope with the most difficult situations.
Most car enthusiasts prefer Chevrolet, since its price and maintenance costs are available to a wide range of consumers. As for the shortcomings, then in the first place you can put high flow fuel. As well as Russian UAZ, Chevrolet has only one engine option at its disposal.
Many owners speak negatively about:
- cramped rear seat;
- too stiff suspension;
- weak paintwork.
Terrano's external data simply outshine both rivals. The car looks luxurious, presentable, fashionable, solid. Gorgeous design is generously backed by comfortable, comfortable lounge, good quality materials, plastic.
A big plus of Terrano is its rare breakdowns, high resistance to corrosion. But the high fuel consumption was a disappointment. Along with this, it can be noted:
- mediocre sound insulation;
- too stiff suspension;
- car's tendency to rust.
Many Terrano owners are inconvenienced by automatic transmission. She often falters, is "naughty", and in hard frost may refuse to work at all. However, the same can be said about the engine, which is difficult to start the first time in winter.
Advantages and disadvantages
There is no need to wait for the start of sales of UAZ Hunter 2019 in Russia. The car is already for sale in all dealer centers countries. Each buyer will be able to purchase a domestic SUV in any city in which there is an official representative office.
Buy a car or not, everyone decides for himself. Someone likes it, but someone frankly scares high flow fuel and poor equipment. To make it easier to make a decision, I will give a short list of the advantages and disadvantages that, in my opinion, are present in the car.
- modern, stylish body design;
- there is a hydraulic booster;
- motor traction, hardy;
- small repairs can be done on their own;
- the device of the car is understandable, simple;
- many spare parts can be replaced with analogues from other brands of cars;
- excellent cross-country ability, ability to overcome impassability;
- very strong body;
- roomy interior, trunk;
- affordable price.

Despite the rather sensational statements official representatives Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant on the termination of serial production of the UAZ Hunter model, the production of the popular domestic SUV not only did it not stop, but, on the contrary, quite recently, the developers introduced three new configurations of UAZ, calling them versions of the car of the 2016-2017 model year.
Hunter is one of the few models produced without significant changes in exterior design for more than forty years. The ancestor of the current UAZ Hunter - UAZ-469 - was operated in the most ruthless off-road conditions in all corners of the world. Thanks to the accumulated experience of many years of operation, the designers from Ulyanovsk managed to leave only the most reliable and proven components in the car design. To the list of invariable details and parts of the car design, which have become a kind of calling card Russian SUV, items such as:
- classical frame structure car body;
- traditional UAZ steering mechanism, able to cope with the most serious loads;
- bridges Spicer continuous type, reliable and very unpretentious in maintenance.
In terms of comfort, the car can hardly compete with models similar in design. Niva, no less archaic in design, as well as more large SUV The Patriot is able to provide the driver and passengers with significantly more comfort. But, in terms of its off-road abilities, among the mentioned trinity, Hunter is the undisputed leader.
Exterior
The exterior design of the car has retained the typical, quite recognizable features of the UAZ-469. True, in accordance with the requirements of modern trends automotive design, new UAZ Hunter received some elements that increase the level of comfort and practicality of an SUV.
So, the Hunter is produced using an all-metal body, equipped with huge "burdocks" of rear-view mirrors, providing excellent visibility to the driver. The car radiator, which is one of the most vulnerabilities, covered with a fine-mesh radiator grille. The metal bumper of the car is equipped with special hooks for towing other cars. From now on, the bumper is attached directly to the car body, and not to its frame, as before.
swing backdoor carries a spare wheel.
Versions of Hunter and their differences
Currently, the SUV is offered in three possible versions: "Trophy", "" and "Classic". The most affordable version of the UAZ is the “Classic” option - in this configuration, the car will cost about 60 thousand rubles cheaper than Hunter in a more advanced version and will cost 529,000 rubles with the maximum set of discounts or 619,000 rubles without them.
winning streak
As you know, the management of the plant announced the cessation of production of UAZ Hunter back in 2015, presenting the car in the "farewell" Victory special version to the general public. The body of such a car is painted in a classic military green color. In addition, in the design appearance car used motifs of the cult Soviet film "Only Old Men Go to Battle". On green body machine with the help of airbrushing, a musical staff was applied, similar to that depicted on the fuselage of the combat aircraft of the main character of the film.
Apart from decorative elements, used in the design of the exterior of the SUV, the Victory version of the UAZ received a special protective steel sheet for the steering rod, 16-inch stamped wheel rims made in a "military" design. The list of souvenir equipment of the car was: an army bowler hat, a duffel bag, a raincoat - a crib, a tent and an ax. However, talking about the decorative essence of the listed items can be rather arbitrary - in the overwhelming majority of cases, a car is bought for fishing or hunting trips, and therefore the set that complements the UAZ can become quite essential.
Another feature that distinguishes the Hunter "Victory Series" from the car in the classic version is the presence of real off-road tires Contyre Expedition, with a tread to overcome the most serious off-road. A car “shod” in such tires is capable of conquering almost any obstacles outside the asphalt.
Hunter Trophy
If the Hunter in the performance of the “Victory Version” is, first of all, a fashion car, then the UAZ Hunter Trophy version embodied the maximum set of equipment for effectively overcoming off-road.
According to the creators of the model, the Hunter Trophy was developed based on the analysis of the numerous wishes of UAZ owners, as well as fans of the presented car model. The light-alloy disks of wheels of the 16th size are striking. Such a solution was used not so much in order to increase the level of aesthetic perception of the domestic off-road vehicle, but to ensure the resistance of the wheels to the effects of corrosion processes, as well as improve the smoothness of the ride and achieve more efficient contact of the wheel with pavement in cross-country driving conditions. Another plus alloy wheels- their lower weight compared to stamped discs, which positively affects the fuel consumption of the car.
Improvements to the car were expressed in the installation of a stamped sheet that protects the gearbox and steering rods are covered with pipe protection. Traction force The car is designed to increase the standard installed tires Contyre Expedition, which has a tread with increased depth.
As for the color in which Hunter's body is painted by Trophy, here the company's designers used the already traditional brown gray color Rushmo. For those who have not been able to notice all of the listed features that distinguish the Trophy version, the stylish Trophy metal nameplate will help identify the top-end equipment.
Classics of the genre
When choosing the Classic version, the buyer can order a body color in metallic color, which makes the appearance of the car more elegant. Besides, basic version SUV is optionally equipped with alloy wheels.
Salon and equipment
The interior design of the UAZ Hunter fully corresponds to the design of classic and uncompromising SUVs. The high bus landing will require some getting used to, especially if the driver moved to Hunter's cabin from an ordinary passenger car or crossover. There can be no talk of any armrests or lateral support rollers.
As compensation for the poor level of comfort when landing, the driver will receive excellent visibility, allowing you to easily control the road. Modest trim and spartan interior design indicates that the presented car is primarily intended for utilitarian use. But the absence of complex electronic devices, as well as primitive interior trim allow you not to worry about the reliability of the car in off-road conditions for fishing or hunting.
However, according to the developers, UAZ Hunter has a number of options that provide comfort, which not everyone immediately notices. So, the metal handrail on the front panel from the side of the passenger seat provides him not only with the confidence of landing, but also serves as a convenient device when “climbing” into the passenger compartment tall car. For the driver, such a handle is not provided, which is why climbing driver's seat not so convenient. The durability and ease of use of the interior is provided by inexpensive, but easily washable upholstery that does not require time-consuming cleaning when dirty.
The car is equipped with power steering, an improved interior heater and a completely informative panel. True, here you can’t find the usual ones even for budget models modern machines displays and indicators. There are no convenient illuminated keys or stylish “twists” either. air conditioner. Adjusting the front seats will require skill and habit, but the space between the front seats and the second row seats can be the envy of the owners of many modern crossovers. But the trunk of a Russian SUV can hardly be called roomy. You can use the car for transporting goods only by folding the split back of the rear sofa.
Motor
Regardless of the configuration, UAZ Hunter is equipped with only one type power unit- a 128-horsepower 2.7-liter engine is installed under the hood of the car gasoline engine, running on 92-m gasoline. The engine is paired with a 5-speed "mechanics". When driving on cruising speed 90 km / h Ulyanovsk "rogue" consumes about 15 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.

Legends don't die, they live on for generations. This statement can be fully attributed to the new UAZ Hunter 2019 2020. Hunter has repeatedly tried to withdraw from production.
But then, after weighing all the factors and analyzing the market, the authorities came to the conclusion that it was too early to take the model off the assembly line. On the contrary, it was decided to update the iconic for everything domestic auto industry car.
Start of sales in Russia current generation UAZ Hunter (pictured) was in 2003. And only in 2019, a new SUV model is expected to appear. At the same time, the history of the family itself goes far into the depths of history, penetrating its roots back to 1972.

The same jeep was delivered for everyone public services: ambulance, police, military units and other institutions. The model had crazy popularity, which simply cannot be dreamed of even by the new UAZ hunter 2019 (see photo). However, all this is rather a consequence of the underdeveloped auto market of those years. On the other hand, this does not in any way detract from the strengths car, among which it is worth noting the amazing cross-country ability, simple design contributing to a truly exemplary maintainability.
However, the years take their toll, and on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Second World War, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant showed an anniversary series dedicated to the great victory. However, at the same time it was announced bad news that by 2019/2020 the UAZ Hunter can no longer be bought and its production will be discontinued. But the interest in the Victory Series was quite high, and the public did not want to part with a truly significant car for the entire automotive industry, so the decision was changed, and the retirement of the SUV was postponed.
Also look at and .
Working on the rejuvenation of such a car is not an easy thing. After all, it is necessary to be able to adapt the morally and technically obsolete design to the realities of the current time. I must say that the engineers partly succeeded. Of course talking about advanced technologies or a new body for the UAZ Hunter 2019/2020 model year is not necessary, but for the most part they were able to adapt it to the existing reality.
Appearance changes
At the same time, the exterior of the car has not changed much, as well as dimensions auto. Of the innovations that can boast legendary SUV- these are new wheel disks, yes, a slightly different bumper, coupled with more modern side mirrors. The headlights of the jeep remained old, but received hydrocorrection, which will make life easier for the owner. In addition, UAZ Hantre 2019 can be equipped with a folding tailgate, which is very convenient for hunters and fishermen.
Here, in fact, are all the changes in appearance auto. General form it remained the same recognizable, timeless and brutal.

By breaking news the interior will change a little more strongly, but still you should not expect revelations. Won't appear here multimedia system, navigation or other trendy accessories. Everything is quite concise.
The dashboard will receive a different shape, and the seats of the UAZ hunter 2019 model year will be equipped by default with three-point belts security (see interior photo). The rear seats will get special mounts for the installation of children's ISOFIX seats, and for the convenience of machine control was developed new hydraulic booster steering wheel. The steering wheel, by the way, will also change its shape somewhat.
Also, spy photos of the UAZ hunter 2020 model year, which show test machine with special tie rod protection, previously introduced in the same Victory Series. This will protect steering from damage, which will contribute to the reliability of the car.
