UAZ Hunter is an all-wheel drive frame SUV designed for operation on roads of all types, as well as on rough terrain ... Its main target audience is family men aged 30 years and older who choose an Ulyanovsk car for high cross-country ability, unpretentious maintenance and affordable cost ... or people purchasing it as a second or third car - for active pastime outside the city ...

The five-door car began its serial "career" in 1972 under the name UAZ-469 (and in 1985, as a result of modernization, received the UAZ-3151 index) ... In 2003, the car "changed a generation" and was renamed to "Hunter" the same UAZ-315195).

The name of this Ulyanovsk SUV in translation from English into Russian means "Hunter".

Both "Kozlik" and "Hunter" are widely used in the Russian army, law enforcement agencies and various special services due to their unpretentiousness and maneuverability.

Hunter was exported to Germany and some Asian countries under the names of UAZ Tigr and Baijah Taigah.

In 2010, the 469th set a world record for passenger car capacity, simultaneously taking on board 32 people and traveling 10 meters.

UAZ-469 became the first car that was fully developed and produced by the specialists of the Ulyanovsk plant (at the end of 1972).

Over its more than 40-year history, these SUVs have sold over 1,650,000 copies all over the world.

The "469th" was the first car to conquer Elbrus - in 1974, three absolutely standard cars climbed to an altitude of 4200 meters above sea level in 38 minutes.

In 1992, the Italian pilot Philippe Martorelli in the "Kozlik" became the absolute champion of Italy in auto racing.

In 1972, this car replaced the GAZ-69 model, in the role of the main command vehicle of the Soviet Army. Later, he became popular and "in civilian life", represented by "469B" ... was modernized and received the index "3151", and in 2003 "changed a generation."

Details

UAZ-315195 ("Hunter"):

Design features. The second generation of the SUV, just like the first, is perfectly prepared for the poor quality of Russian roads. The car retained its high off-road cross-country ability, but at the same time it became better adapted to driving on the highway. UAZ-315195 is equipped with a more energy-intensive suspension and a reliable braking system.

Design flaws. The main remaining disadvantage in the transition to a new generation is excessive roll when maneuvering. Also, the car, as before, does not have a sufficient level of noise insulation and practically did not add in terms of the ergonomics of the cabin.

Weakest points. In the list of the most frequently broken components and assemblies of this machine, experts include:

• suspension and steering components,
• onboard electronics,
• clutch,
• pump,
• thermostat,
• fuel equipment.

In addition, UAZ with the index "315195" has thinner (in comparison with its predecessor) iron, which increases the risk of perforating corrosion of body panels.

Features of the operation of the modification with a diesel engine. The diesel engine of domestic production on the "Hunter" is distinguished by a long warm-up time and increased noise at this stage of work, which many owners perceive as a malfunction. In cold weather, it starts up problematic. The engine has a clear lack of traction at low revs, but in general the dynamics of the UAZ-315195 with a diesel engine under the hood is quite acceptable. Average fuel consumption in city driving conditions will be about 10.5 - 11.0 liters. In terms of reliability, the diesel ZMZ-5143.10 is no different from other diesel engines of the ZMZ brand and has similar childhood illnesses with them.

The reasons for the engine overheating in the UAZ-315195 are similar to the reasons for the engine overheating in the UAZ-469 / UAZ-3151 - they are described below.

The engine starts only when the accelerator pedal is pressed to the floor. This symptom most likely indicates incorrect operation of the throttle assembly, which requires cleaning and adjustment. If debugging the throttle does not help, then the reason may lie in a malfunction of the throttle position sensor, oxygen sensors or idle speed regulator. In this case, the defective part will need to be replaced.

The alternator belt whistles. If whistling sounds appear in the area of ​​the generator, it is necessary to tighten the belt using the tension roller. If this procedure does not help, then you will need to replace the belt with a new one.

On the electronic gas pedal, a full throttle is periodically discharged. This problem is caused by oxidation of the contacts. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to disassemble the pedal and clean the contacts of its drive.

Problems with transmission units. The main problems associated with the checkpoint, bridges and transfer case on the Hunter are similar to the problems on the UAZ-469 / UAZ-3151 and are described below.

Difficulty shifting gears. The most common reasons for the appearance of excessive effort when shifting gears on the UAZ-315195 is improper clutch adjustment and jamming of the drive cable or the shift rod itself. In the first case, it will be necessary to adjust the clutch, but experts recommend starting with the lubrication of the cable and the thrust mechanism of the shift drive.

Knock when cornering while driving. This symptom indicates wear and tear on the grenades. To eliminate the defect, it will be necessary to replace the worn out grenade assembly, since this front suspension unit does not provide for repair.

Increased noise while driving. This symptom usually indicates a low oil level in the front or rear axle housing. To solve the problem, it is necessary to check the level and quality of the filled oil. If this method did not help to eliminate the problem, then the integrity of the axle shafts (mainly the rear ones) should be checked, the wear or deformation of which also leads to an increase in noise when the vehicle is moving.

Knock in the steering universal joint. The appearance of this symptom indicates wear on the steering shaft crosses. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to replace the worn crosspieces and check the reliability of the steering universal joint.

The salon "sweats" intensely in the summer. The abundant appearance of condensation on the windows when the car warms up indicates an increased humidity in the passenger compartment. The moisture build-up can be caused by accumulation of water under the rugs. To reduce the amount of condensate on the windows, it is recommended to turn on the heater at low speed when starting the engine and direct the entire flow of warm air to the windshield.

Uneven knocking on the right wheel. Quite often, knocks appear on the UAZ-315195 in the area of ​​the right wheel, while the sounds can have different volumes, and also periodically disappear and appear again. As a rule, the reason for their appearance is the weakened fastening of the battery, which causes its vibration and impacts on the site.

UAZ-469/3151:

Design features. This is a classic SUV, perfectly adapted to the bad Russian roads. The car has a high cross-country ability and a robust chassis, "digesting" the exit to complete off-road of any complexity. The design of the "469" is quite easy to learn, which makes it possible to carry out repair work in the field.

Design flaws. Off-road advantages also form the disadvantages of the car. Due to the peculiarities of the suspension, the UAZ-469 does not differ in easy handling on the track, it is prone to excessive roll when maneuvering and does not provide a short braking distance on an icy road. In addition, it did not receive the proper level of sound insulation and has a low level of cabin ergonomics.

Weakest points. In the list of the most frequently broken components and assemblies of the UAZ-469 and UAZ-3151, specialists include:

• clutch components,
• muffler,
• pump,
• carburetor,
• fan belt,
• thermostat,
• suspension and steering components.

The engine will not start. Quite often, the problem with starting the engine on the UAZ-469 is associated with the clogging of the mesh filter in the intake pipe of the gas tank. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to remove the filter, rinse it in gasoline and blow it with compressed air. In addition, it is recommended to check the level of contamination of the fine filter as well as the mesh filter on the carburetor.

Oil leaks. The main childhood disease of the UAZ-469 engine, the scale of which can be reduced by replacing the standard gaskets with cork, and the packing of the rear crankshaft bearing with a similar one produced by Daimler ("Mercedes-Benz").

Poor combustible mixture. If characteristic pops are heard in the carburetor, indicating a poor fuel mixture, then it is necessary to check the cleanliness of the carburetor jets, adjust the air damper actuator and check the tightness of the intake pipe. If these manipulations did not help, then repair or replacement of the fuel pump will be required.

Rich combustible mixture. The appearance of shots in the muffler indicates an excessively rich combustible mixture. This problem usually occurs due to improper idle speed adjustment, sticking of the carburetor float or fuel supply valve. To eliminate the problem, it is necessary to check the integrity of the fuel supply valve, as well as adjust the position of the float and the idle speed. In addition, problems with the enrichment of the combustible mixture can arise due to incorrect operation of the air damper. In this case, it is necessary to adjust its position or replace the faulty unit.

Reduced engine power. Most often, a drop in the power of the UAZ-469 engine is associated with a clogged air filter or incorrect operation of the throttle assembly. If the elimination of these reasons did not help, then you should check the efficiency of the economizer and measure the level of compression in the cylinders. In some cases, a blockage in the exhaust pipe or muffler, as well as tar deposits in the intake manifold, can cause a drop in power.

The engine overheats quickly. The most common cause of this problem is coolant leaking through leaking pipe connections. It is necessary to check the reliability of the fittings of the pipes, as well as the presence of smudges on the radiator and pump housing. In addition, engine overheating can cause fan belt wear, thermostat malfunction, and wear on pump components. In this case, it is necessary to replace the faulty element of the cooling system.

The engine overheats quickly after a suspension repair. This problem can be caused by overtightening the brakes or wheel bearings, which increases the load on the motor. It is necessary to loosen the brakes and wheel bearings until the free path is normalized.

Increased noise from the rear axle or transfer case. This symptom indicates a low oil level or worn rear axle or transfer case components. In the first case, it is necessary to add oil to the required level; in the second case, it is necessary to replace the worn out parts.

Hum when accelerating the car. As a rule, the appearance of a hum or intermittent noises, which intensifies with increasing speed, indicates wear of the propeller shaft crosses or its imbalance. To eliminate the problem, it is necessary to replace the worn crosspieces, balance the shaft and check the integrity of the spline joints.

Difficulty switching gears or spontaneous switching off while driving. These symptoms indicate worn out synchronizers or gear bushings. In addition, the deformation of the shift forks can cause the problem. To fix the problem, it is necessary to replace the worn out gearbox components.

The clutch is not completely disengaged. Clutch disengagement problems can be caused by increased clutch pedal free travel. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the position of the pedal and the length of its free travel. If this procedure did not help, then the worn clutch disc will need to be replaced.

The clutch makes a noise when the pedal is depressed. This symptom indicates a lack of lubrication in the clutch bearing or critical wear. To eliminate the defect, it is necessary to lubricate the bearing or replace it.

Increased free play of the steering wheel. This problem indicates worn steering rods that require replacement. In addition, worn worm bearings or loose ball pins or knuckles can cause increased steering free play. In this case, it is necessary to check the level of wear of the worm gear parts, as well as the reliability of the fastening of the front suspension components.

The heading contains detailed reviews of various generations and modifications of the UAZ Hunter, with reviews of the owners and photographs. The main technical parameters and characteristics of each machine under consideration (engines (diesel / gasoline), gearboxes and transmissions, fuel consumption, maximum speed and dynamics, overall dimensions and capacity, ground clearance, etc.) are indicated. As well as configurations and prices for new "Hunters" for the Russian market.

The technical characteristics of the UAZ "Hunter" help the car retain its leadership among fans of off-road vehicles.

Technical parameters of UAZ "Hunter"

The first models rolled off the assembly line with 104 hp gasoline engines. with. and a volume of 2.9 liters. Later they began to produce a power plant with a volume of 2.7 liters and a capacity of 128 horsepower from the Patriot brand. For all the time of its existence, the car has worked on gasoline carburetor, injection and diesel engines. One of the first options offered was the 8-valve Polish Andoria diesel engine with 2.42 liters and 86 liters. sec., which were achieved at 4000 rpm. At 1800 rpm its torque was 183 N * m.

Already in 2005, Andoria was replaced by the domestic 16-valve diesel engine ZMZ-51432, generating 114 forces with a volume of 2.2 liters and 3500 rpm. The thrust of the unit reached 270 N * m under the condition of 1800–2800 rpm. And also the F-Diesel 4JB1T (China) 2.2-liter engine was installed on the "Hunter", which produced a torque of 200 N * m (2000 rpm) and 92 hp. with. (3600 rpm.). The most recent was the diesel version of the UAZ with a 2.2 liter engine from the Patriot with a capacity of 98 forces. Today you can buy such a diesel engine only on the secondary market.

The dynamic and high-speed characteristics of the UAZ "Hunter" are not the strongest aspects of the car. The petrol version accelerates to 130 km / h, the diesel version to 120 km / h.

The increased cross-country ability of the SUV is ensured by considerable fuel consumption. The average consumption of gasoline models per 100 km is 13.5 liters, and the diesel UAZ "Hunter" "eats" a little less - 10.1 liters per 100 km. These indicators were calculated when driving on a flat road surface; in off-road conditions, fuel consumption increases.

The appearance of the car UAZ "Hunter"

The exterior of the SUV is uncomplicated and practical. Its cubic chopped shape has been transformed by a plastic false radiator grille and a front bumper with integrated fog lights. The plastic trim for the front and rear of the car meets safety requirements and protects the modern paintwork from various negative mechanical influences.

The luggage compartment of the UAZ "Hunter" series with a frame rigid body structure is equipped with a swing door. It provides more convenient, quick access to the trunk, and also makes it easy to load / unload cargo or to quickly embark / disembark passengers on reclining seats. In versions of the UAZ body with an awning, a side hinged rear door is installed.

Improvement of visibility, ventilation of the car, convenient access to the rear-view mirrors in order to adjust them are provided by door extensions equipped with sliding windows.

Car interior device

The interior of the UAZ "Hunter" does not belong to the "luxury" class, but is organized in such a way that the driver and passengers feel comfortable during the trip. The main changes in the arrangement of the car interior:

• New soft-rim steering wheel.
• The salon is upholstered with carpet. This improves heat and sound insulation.
• Comfortable new seats upholstered in fabric.
• The front driver's seat has a longitudinal adjustment of a wide range, so that it will be comfortable for people of medium and tall stature to drive.
• It has become even more comfortable to travel long distances due to the adjustable backrest (you can adjust the tilt angle and lumbar support) of the front seats.
• The seats can be easily folded into berths.
• The rear seats can be fully or partially folded (1: 2), which allows you to accommodate bulky cargo.
• Door seals with a double closed loop provide the interior of the UAZ "Hunter" SUV with low noise insulation, protection from moisture ingress and maintaining the microclimate at an optimal level.

Characteristics of the chassis of the UAZ "Hunter"

The front and rear suspensions of the machine are dependent. The front spring-link suspension makes the ride smooth, the built-in anti-roll bar maintains the desired direction of the path, and the double-acting hydraulic shock absorber provides a smooth ride on the ground. The rear suspension has two longitudinal semi-elliptical low-leaf springs.

Ease of control UAZ "Hunter" during parking and at low speeds is achieved by the power steering. The braking system works clearly, quickly and efficiently thanks to disc brakes installed on the front wheels and modernized drums on the rear.

The transmission of the UAZ "Hunter" is equipped with a demultiplier and is represented by a synchronized mechanical 5-speed gearbox and a new 2-speed helical transfer case. In the car, both axles are leading, but it is possible to disable the front one. Wheel formula - 4 * 4, ground clearance - 210 mm.

Among the design innovations of the vehicle are the LUK clutch (only on the UAZ Hunter with the ZMZ - 409.10 engine) and the new Spicer-type drive axles.

The lineup

Today, the following configurations of UAZ "Hunter" car models can be purchased from official dealers:

• Classic- All-wheel drive petrol off-road vehicle (Part-Time plug-in) with one-piece metal body structure, transfer case with mechanical drive, wheel rim sizes 16 ".
• Classic with rear axle differential lock- four-wheel drive vehicle (Part-Time system), Spicer axles, running on gasoline, transfer case with mechanical drive, one-piece metal body.
• Special Anniversary Series- all-wheel drive (Part-Time), gearbox - mechanical, 5 steps, transfer case - 2 steps, mechanical drive, Spicer axles - continuous (main pair - 4.625).

The domestic car manufacturer strives to produce models that will meet current trends and safety standards. The equipment of the cars makes it comfortable to travel on them, even over rough terrain. Special compounds applied to the body reliably protect it from damage and corrosion.

The machine has a reinforced running system and an engine, due to which it can withstand significant loads. UAZ Hunter diesel has a powerful engine produced by ZMZ, therefore it copes well with the transportation of massive cargo.

Advantages of UAZ Hunter

Unlike most domestic cars, Hunter takes into account all the previous shortcomings, thanks to which the car is a success among motorists. Among the advantages it is worth noting:

1. Comfortable salon... Soft seats are comfortable to use, and a special coating can be easily cleaned from various contaminants. The plastic inside the cabin is resistant to fading and cracking. The material of the steering wheel and gear lever is pleasant to the touch and retains its original condition throughout the entire period of use.
2. Economical engine... The new engine model, which is installed on the UAZ Hunter, is more economical and environmentally friendly. Compared to gasoline models, the diesel engine saves 2-3 liters of fuel less for every hundred kilometers. In the process of movement for the motor, there is practically no difference how much weight the car transports.
3. Improved transmission... Stronger parts guarantee the reliability of the mechanisms and their operation in all conditions. The all-wheel drive ensures good traction, and also provides high cross-country ability on mud, sand and other difficult terrain.
4. Improved suspension... The spring suspension is equipped with stabilizers. It is convenient to drive a car even over bumps and large stones. According to the owners, the new suspension, combined with high ground clearance, is an excellent option for hunting or ice fishing trips.
5. Capacity... The spacious trunk allows you to place a large amount of cargo in it. The lifting capacity declared by the manufacturer is 675 kilograms.

The machine is multifunctional and will perfectly cope with various tasks. The power of the diesel engine allows you to successfully use the car as a tug. The car's capacity ensures comfortable transportation of people in difficult climatic conditions. The all-terrain vehicle is striking and makes it irreplaceable in remote regions of Russia.

The car has 5 doors, 5 main and 2 additional places. The mass of the car without passengers and cargo is 1890 kilograms. The dimensions of the car are 4100x2010x2025 cm. Due to its compact size, the car is convenient for moving around the city and in dense forest. The minimum turning radius is 8.6 meters.

The car is equipped with a 2.2 liter turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by ZMZ. The sixteen-valve 4-cylinder engine has good wear resistance and maintains its performance for a long time. The engine power is 114 horsepower, and the maximum speed that the car can reach is 135 kilometers per hour. The engine consumes only 10.1 liters of fuel in city mode, which makes it very economical. The car has two fuel tanks, each of which is 39 liters.

The ground clearance of the UAZ Hunter diesel is 21 cm. The wheels are fitted with tires with the parameters R16 225/75. The five-speed gearbox provides convenient control and speed control. The dependent suspension with telescopic shock absorbers ensures a comfortable ride in all conditions.

Price

A car in the basic configuration costs about 560 thousand rubles. For its segment, the price of the car is more than pleasant. A car, in comparison with similar models of foreign production, has a cost 2-3 times lower, but at the same time it is practically not inferior in quality. Since the series of diesel cars was limited in production, it is quite difficult to find spare parts for the fuel system. The car is usually equipped with fog lights, power steering, headlight range control and other options that make driving and driving the car more comfortable.

The cost of UAZ Hunter diesel cars in the secondary market varies greatly. This is due to the peculiarities of operation, as well as the technical condition of the machine. If the car was used occasionally for hunting, fishing or just nature trips, then its cost can reach 500 thousand rubles. Most often, cars at this price have covered no more than 10,000 kilometers. Cars that have a mileage of over 50 thousand km usually cost in the range of 250-350 thousand rubles. Prices in the secondary market are constantly changing, so the real cost of a car can be said only in the salon.

Maintainability

It is believed that it is quite easy to find spare parts for any UAZ, but in the case of the Hunter, this is far from the case. Parts have non-standard sizes, so it is quite difficult to find them in the public domain. Most of the spare parts are made to order, so car repairs may take a little longer compared to standard UAZ vehicles.

Since the machine has many components and assemblies, its repair must be carried out by people who have special skills. The easiest way is to contact a service center, but not all car owners of a domestic car can afford it. If it is not possible to perform service in specialized salons, then you should not neglect to carry out scheduled work yourself. It is imperative to change the fuel and air filter, belts and other spare parts in accordance with the regulations. Untimely replacement can lead to more serious damage.

Owner reviews

The owners note that the car is really almost an all-terrain vehicle, but at the same time it has a high consumption. Although the manufacturer indicates the consumption in the city within 10.1 liters per 100 km, the actual consumption differs upwards. On the highway, the car really consumes about 10 liters per 100 km, but in the city it "eats" at least 13. When operating in difficult conditions or in winter, the consumption can increase up to 15 liters per hundred kilometers. Breakdowns, as in any UAZ, are quite common. Sometimes it may be necessary to bulkhead individual units.

To the surprise of most car owners, the engine, when properly used, is not susceptible to sudden breakdowns. Timely oil change, use of high-quality fuel and timely repair of fuel system malfunctions will allow the engine to last more than 200 thousand kilometers. The use of high-quality rubber in combination with the technical characteristics of the car allows the driver to feel good even on an icy road.

Frequent breakdowns and characteristic shortcomings

One of the most common malfunctions is starter failure. Since it is quite difficult to find components for it, it is more expedient to make its complete replacement. Also one of the weak points is noise insulation.

Some car owners note that the stove is not working properly. With a strong minus, it can be cold in the cabin, therefore, when operating in the northern regions, it makes sense to install additional heating devices.

Technical characteristics of the updated UAZ Hunter

The Soviet SUV UAZ-469 was produced practically unchanged from 1972 to 2003. However, in 2003, it was decided to modernize it and the production of its updated version, UAZ Hunter, was launched.

UAZ Hunter is the serial number UAZ-315195. At first glance, it seems that it is no different from its predecessor, but if you look at its technical characteristics, as well as take a closer look at the interior and exterior, the changes become noticeable.

Let's take a closer look at the technical characteristics of this legendary car.

Engines

The Okhotnik leaves the conveyor equipped with one of three motors:

UMP-4213 is a 2.9 liter gasoline injection engine. Its maximum power of 104 horsepower is achieved at 4000 rpm, and the maximum power of 201 Nm at 3000 rpm. The device is in-line, 4 cylinders. In terms of environmental performance, it meets the Euro-2 standard. The highest speed that can be achieved with this engine is 125 km / h.

It is difficult to call it economical, since the consumption is 14.5 liters in the combined cycle and 10 liters on the highway.

ZMZ-4091 is also a gasoline engine with an injector injection system. Its volume is slightly less - 2.7 liters, but it is able to squeeze out more power - 94 kW at 4400 rpm. On our website, we talked about and how to convert power from kilowatts to hp. - 94 / 0.73, we get approximately 128 horsepower.

This engine, like the previous one, is an in-line 4-cylinder. Its combined consumption is approximately 13.5 liters at a compression ratio of 9.0. Accordingly, the AI-92 will become the optimal fuel for it. The highest speed is 130 km / h. The environmental standard is Euro-3.

ZMZ 5143.10 is a 2.2 liter diesel engine. Its maximum power rating of 72.8 kW (99 hp) is achieved at 4000 thousand rpm, and maximum torque is 183 Nm at 1800 rpm. That is, we have a standard diesel engine that demonstrates its best qualities at low revs.

The maximum speed that can be reached on a UAZ Hunter equipped with this diesel engine is 120 km / h. The most optimal consumption is 10 liters of diesel fuel at a speed of 90 km / h. The engine complies with Euro-3 environmental standards.

Looking at the characteristics of the UAZ-315195 engines, we understand that it is ideal for driving on roads of not the best quality, as well as off-road. But to acquire the "Okhotnik" as a city car is not entirely profitable - the fuel consumption is very high.

Transmission, suspension

If we compare the Hunter with its predecessor, then in the technical part, the suspension has undergone the greatest changes. So, now the front suspension is not spring, but a spring dependent type. An anti-roll bar is installed to swallow pits and potholes. Shock absorbers are hydropneumatic (gas-oil), telescopic type.

Thanks to the two trailing arms, which fall on each shock absorber and the transverse link, the stroke of the shock absorbers is increased.

The rear suspension is dependent on two springs, again supported by hydropneumatic shock absorbers.

For off-road driving, the UAZ Hunter, like the UAZ-469, is fitted with 225/75 or 245/70 tires, which fit on 16-inch wheels. Discs are stamped, that is, the most affordable option. In addition, stamped wheels have a certain level of softness - they absorb vibrations upon impact, while alloy or forged wheels are quite rigid and not designed for off-road travel.

(function (w, d, n, s, t) (w [n] = w [n] ||; w [n] .push (function () (Ya.Context.AdvManager.render ((blockId: "RA -136785-3 ", renderTo:" yandex_rtb_R-A-136785-3 ", async: true));)); t = d.getElementsByTagName (" script "); s = d.createElement (" script "); s .type = "text / javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore (s, t);)) (this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

Ventilated disc brakes are installed on the front axle, drum brakes on the rear.

UAZ Hunter is a rear-wheel drive SUV with front-wheel drive rigidly connected. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual, there is also a 2-speed transfer case, which is used when the front drive is on.

Dimensions, interior, exterior

In terms of its dimensions, the UAZ-Hunter fits into the category of mid-size SUVs. Its body length is 4170 mm. Width with mirrors - 2010 mm, without mirrors - 1785 mm. Thanks to the increased to 2380 mm, there is more room for rear passengers. And just ideal for driving on bad roads - 21 centimeters.

The weight of the "Okhotnik" is 1.8-1.9 tons, with a full load - 2.5-2.55. Accordingly, he can take 650-675 kilograms of useful weight on board.

There is enough space in the cabin for seven people, the landing formula is 2 + 3 + 2. If desired, the row of rear seats can be removed to increase the volume of the trunk. One of the advantages of the renovated salon is the presence of a floor insulated with carpet. But I don't like the lack of a footboard - after all, Hunter is positioned as an updated SUV for the city and the countryside, but with a clearance height of 21 centimeters, getting in and out of passengers can be difficult.

With the naked eye, it is noticeable that the designers did not worry too much about the convenience of the driver: the panel is made of black plastic, the instruments are inconveniently located, especially the speedometer - almost under the steering wheel, and you have to bend over to examine its readings. It feels like the car belongs to budget SUVs.

The car was designed for the harsh Russian winters, so the stove does not have a temperature regulator, you can only control the flow direction and its strength with a damper.

The air ducts are located only under the windshield and front dashboard. That is, in winter, with a large number of people in the cabin, fogging of the side windows cannot be avoided.

The exterior is a little more attractive - plastic or metal bumpers with fog lights installed in them, metal protection for the front suspension elements and steering rods, a folding rear door with a spare tire in a cover. In a word, we have in front of us a fairly inexpensive car with minimal convenience for driving in the Russian off-road conditions.

Prices and reviews

Prices in the salons of official dealers at the moment range from 359 to 409 thousand rubles, but this is taking into account all discounts for the recycling program and on credit. If you buy without these programs, then you can add at least another 90 thousand rubles to the indicated amounts. Please note that for the 70th anniversary of Victory, a limited Victory Series has been released - the body is painted in the protective color of the Trophy, the price is from 409 thousand rubles.

Well, if we proceed from our own experience of using this car and from the reviews of other drivers, we can say the following:

• good cross-country ability;
• a lot of defects - clutch, radiator, lubrication system, bearings;
• at a speed of over 90 km / h the car drives and, in principle, it is scary to continue driving at such a speed;
• many minor flaws, ill-conceived stove, sliding vents.

In short, the car is big and powerful. But nevertheless, the Russian assembly is felt, the designers still have something to work on. If we choose between UAZ Hunter and other budget SUVs, we would choose other cars of the same class - Chevrolet Niva, VAZ-2121, Renault Duster,

4.5 / 5 ( 8 votes)

The Hunter model has been produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since 2003. The prototype was, of course, the UAZ 469, which has become a legend in the automotive industry, which has undergone numerous tests in difficult road and operational conditions, confirming the practical value of this vehicle. "Hunter" has been proving its right to be the successor for 12 years. The whole.

In 2015, the moral and technical backwardness of UAZ Hunter dictated a reasonable decision to discontinue production, but the opinion of buyers who still wanted to buy a car had to be taken into account.

Therefore, before being removed from the assembly line, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant produced a one-off UAZ "Hunter" 2016 model year under the name "Victory Series". The Russian car market in 2016 presented the model with the following issues:

• "Classic";
• Trophy;
• "Winning streak".

The updated model retained the qualities of an SUV: unpretentiousness, cross-country ability, relative cheapness and reliability.

Exterior

The car is equipped with a station wagon with five doors and a hard metal top. Appearance, in comparison with the prototype, has not undergone dramatic changes. It is a military off-road vehicle adapted for urban and rural areas.

Differs in characteristic rectangular contours and minimal external creativity. But taking into account the fact that the car is designed for movement on difficult terrain, external modesty is justified.

The body structure has five doors. The radiator grille is made in the form of two stripes, on the sides of which there are round, slightly protruding headlights. Above, behind the hood, the air intake cover, adjustable from the cab. Tow hooks on stamped steel front bumper. On the side, to the left and right of the windshield, repeaters made of yellow plastic.

Narrow doors open 90 degrees. Outdoor door awnings. Side mirrors at speeds over 100 km. at the hour they sometimes strive to change the situation on their own. The presence of windows along the perimeter creates panoramic visibility.

The rear part of the body is vertical with one door on which the spare wheel is fixed. Above the rear bumper is a block of vertical rectangular headlights. External minimalism, however, opens up new horizons for tuning lovers.

External tuning "Hunter"

The advantages and disadvantages are inherent in the machine. Therefore, the "Hunter" is suitable for modeling and interesting modifications. For this vehicle, the necessary revision will be the device of a sunroof. This will help to eliminate the problem of ventilation and the problem of reducing the temperature in hot weather.

It is better to buy a ready-made aluminum hatch in a store and use it to make markings for cutting out metal. It is better to cut the steel roof with a grinder, remembering to cool the seam with water, and remove the sheathing first. The work of installing the hatch is best done with an assistant, using a sealant and sealant.

Body kits that expand additional functions can be made independently, if you do not strive for a presentable appearance. In another case, it is better to buy professional body kits. The requirement for body kits is to be durable and not bulky. Power kits are designed taking into account the installation of a winch and an increase in the format of the wheels to improve cross-country ability.

The specifics of an SUV assumes that it is equipped with a special expeditionary luggage carrier. For this, a frame is cooked from the profile and reinforced with a metal mesh. Then the mountings are welded for installation on the roof of the car. Additional lighting equipment is installed on the trunk.

Interior

The interior of this model has some emphasis on comfort. The front and rear seats are equipped with head restraints. The chairs are equipped with adjusting elements for smoothly changing the position of the backrest tilt, longitudinal direction and the degree of lumbar support.

This is a prerequisite for the convenience of people landing. Passenger seats can be folded down to increase luggage space or can be removed. There are seat belts.

The presence of a headlight hydrocorrector, which changes the flow of light vertically, is encouraging, which is necessary when the trunk is loaded by weight. The floor is insulated with carpet. The front panel is made of plastic. The speedometer is located in the projection of the steering wheel, and this impairs the view of the speedometer when driving.

The rest of the authentic measuring instruments are located to the right of the steering column. Above them is a block of lamps for control and signaling. Below them are the keypad and controls. There is a heating block under the dashboard in the field of view, in which the required temperature control has not been achieved.

A cigarette lighter appeared on the panel opposite the passenger seat. The steering wheel is fixed rigidly and without adjustments, but the presence of the power steering makes it easier to drive. There are no windows.

Instead, vents sliding tightly to the side, designed to ventilate the cabin. Mechanical transmission. It is controlled by a five-speed gearbox lever and a transfer case lever and all-wheel drive.

Salon tuning

Salon tuning is of course necessary. At least to compensate for the shortcomings of the factory assembly, design, equipment. The task is to transfer the structure from a state of minimum comfort to an acceptable state.

You can start with insulation. In the factory version, there is only a hint of such. The reason for tuning is also the glaring imperfection of the factory-assembled heating. Temperature control is primitive.

The choice of the type of insulation for the floor and doors is not difficult, but it is better to buy foil, as it has reliable heat-insulating properties, felt or bitoplast. Before the start of the insulation, cracks and joints are insulated with a sealant, although polyurethane foam is also suitable.

Make additional noise insulation for the engine compartment. When changing the interior, replace the chairs with anatomical ones with a sufficient number of adjustments and even heating. The steering wheel and stove are refined. It is better to replace the latter with a modern one that meets the requirement of comfort.
