Very simple, utilitarian vehicle...hard to believe it's a 2015 model year! Almost looks like it's a military truck in that green colour. I'm sure these are probably easy to maintain and repair. Thanks for the great overview!
+Kameron Baetge, due to strict regulations on safety & emissions in the developed world. That's way. If you want 1, you're probably going to have to go hunting for an older 1 for sale online & get it imported into your country.
If GAZ enters the Philippine car market, they will have a lot of customers for this and the van, although GAZ may have to offer a diesel version. I would buy one on the spot.
These were and are very popular in Hungary, mostly used by hunters or Forest workers, but most of them had a mercedes diesel engine swap, because the factory petrol one worth absolutely nothing... Consumes 13-16L / 100km, and goes like a snail with rheuma....
1) No, they are only offered with 2.7 L ZMZ-40911 petrol engine (112 hp) 2) It depends. The cheapest one is the 2-door 2-seater onboard vehicle and it costs around $9,900. The price range is between 767 000-850 000 rubles ($9,900-$10,850). It's offered as a 5-seater, 7-seater and 9-seater "bus". If you want to have a rear locking diff you should pay additional 4,900 rubles ($530). The van has power steering, but it doesn't have an A/C and only the driver and the front passenger have seat belts. There's a special offroad version called "Combi Expdetiton" which costs $13,350 and it's only painted in orange, and comes with heated seats.
At 09:15 .. what is this bottle? I did not hear him good! And does UAZ has proven anti rust in coastal conditions .. such as the Mideterranean sea coasts? Thanks.
+Paul Lynch, they're a rather common site in Russia. They're very commonly used in the Army, Police & Ambulance. I can understand as to why: 1.) Russians are encouraged by their government to buy locally made goods instead of buying foreign goods. This is ironically 1 of the good parts of Communism because Communist countries have never outsourced jobs overseas like private companies in the 1st world have done, but that's kinda a side point & irrelevant. It is understandable & very wise because it keeps money in their native economy rather than going overseas. This is why you see so many Ladas on the road in Russia & their brands such as KamAZ & GAZ dominate the top sales in their country. 2.) They're simple to repair, cheap to repair & versatile; very good in off road conditions, harsh conditions & gets you from point A - point B. They're still very popular in off roading in Eastern Europe (The former Soviet Bloc) due to their excpetional off road performance, very low price, DIY friendly mechanics, easiness to repair & cheapness to repair. Now, granted, I'd never allow them to be sold in my country, if I were the government of my country, which would disappoint many people who like UAZ & other Russian/Soviet brands, but they need to obey safety & emissions standards if they want to be sold in my country. Yet again, that's kinda an irrelevant point.
@@tonnyberben1770 most diesel trucks have peak torque on the 1500 RPM range Mitsubishi 4D34 engine peaks at 1600rpm for example, or Toyota/Hino W04D peaks at 1800rpm Of course lada Niva and Suzuki Jimny proved that you don't need powerfull engines for off-roading, but having a high torque low rpm engine makes it easier.
You should have explained, demonstrated how to operate the transfer case levers. I didn't see any seat belts for the rear seats, also the battery is inside the cab! Can you imagine the poisonous vapors being vented, and the reduced leg room.
Everything regularly exchangeable or refillable except gasoline inlet, is inside of car. Its rational in conditions of russian tajga where those things must be protected before deep freezing as much as possible. Levers: That upper one is for engaging inter-axle gearbox, means, its connect forward axle to engine (Buchanka have normally driven only rear axle), but you can engage it only in terrain during slow forward movement and never on normal road. Reason why you need to move a bit with vehicle is that if you would not moving forward and tried to engage forward axle, in 99% of cases, you would be pressing top of not-moving teeths of both gearboxes against each other and wouldnt be able to engage that. Many people think like "its russian made, just use more strength!" but its not about strength but inteligence... So again - upper lever is for engaging four-wheel drive and you can engage it ONLY in terrain not on the normal road and always during very slow forward movement. Lower lever is for engaging reduction gearbox in difficult terrain and it have not synchronization, so unlike previous one, you MUST NOT moving if you want to engage it, because you can tear up that gearbox if you try it when gears are turning. So you have to engage neutral on main gearbox, press clutch pedal and then you can manipulate with reduction gearbox lever. Lever itself have three positions, reduction is engaged in rear position of lever.
