UAZ Hunter replaced the UAZ-469 in 2003. Recently, this car has been modified several times. This "hunter" is in great demand among residents of remote regions of the Russian Federation. This vehicle is also used for military purposes.

External features

Solid domestic SUV

Vehicle length - 4100 mm, width (without mirrors) - 1730 mm, height does not exceed 2025 mm. The original body design, good interior, high technical capabilities make the UAZ Hunter a versatile vehicle.

As for the wheelbase, the Hunter is equipped with front and rear wheels with the same width - 1465 mm. The weight of this vehicle is 2550 kg. Fuel tank capacity - 70 liters. There are 5 seats in the UAZ Hunter cabin.

If we consider the comfort of this vehicle, then it should be noted that the doorways are narrow, so getting into the car is not very convenient. The chairs can be adjusted. As for the interior, it has a classic character. The finish can be easily wet cleaned. Noise insulation of the car is low, which is especially felt when driving at high speed. The SUV in question is equipped with a powerful stove that quickly warms up the interior in winter.

Often, the owners of this vehicle independently install a 2 quiet stove for the back row. This is due to the fact that the standard heating unit is equipped with a noisy fan.

Technical capabilities

UAZ Hunter is in great demand due to its high technical characteristics. This car can be equipped with:

• gasoline engine;
• diesel power unit.

Base Hunter 16-valve engine

The basic package includes the ZMZ-409.10 gasoline engine. It has 4 cylinders with a volume of 2.7 liters. The power unit is located in the front of the body, equipped with a 16-valve timing and a fuel injection system. The manufacturer recommends that the SUV in question be filled with gasoline of a brand not lower than AI-92. The maximum engine power is 128 hp. with. The peak torque is considered to be 209.7 Nm. This limit can be reached at 2500 rpm.

If you use the Hunter in mixed mode, the gas mileage will be more than 13.2 liters per 100 km. It should be borne in mind that the dynamic characteristics of the car are weak. The maximum speed of this SUV is no more than 130 km / h. For a starting acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h, it will take more than 35 s.

If we consider the diesel version of the UAZ, then it is equipped with a ZMZ-5143.20 engine. Such a power unit has 4 cylinders and a volume of 2.2 liters. The package also includes a 16-valve timing and fuel injection system. The maximum power of such an engine is 113.5 liters. with. Peak torque can be reached at 270 Nm.

If we compare gasoline and diesel engines in terms of fuel economy, then option 2 of the engine is considered more attractive. On the combined cycle, the fuel consumption is 10.6 liters per 100 km. As for the dynamics, the diesel unit is significantly inferior to the gasoline counterpart.

These models are equipped with a Hyundai Dymos 5-speed manual transmission. It is several times superior to the domestic version, which was previously installed on the UAZ. It should be noted that the foreign box also has negative characteristics. It often makes noise and creaks when switching.

Reliability of power units

A gasoline engine is more reliable than a diesel engine. At the same time, both motors easily endure winters, providing the required amount of traction while driving. Hunters are equipped with a durable chassis. The following items are ahead.

1. Spring suspension.
2. 2 trailing arms.
3. Traction.
4. Stabilizer.

The feed of the SUV is supported by 2 longitudinal springs. Hydropneumatic double-acting shock absorbers are provided at the front and rear. The front wheels have ventilated disc brakes and piston calipers. The rear wheels are equipped with drum brakes. The SUV is equipped with a power steering.

It should be noted that this vehicle has an all-wheel drive system represented by a two-stage gearbox with axles. The constant mode is characterized by the supply of traction to the rear axle. If necessary, UAZ owners can rigidly block the front axle.

In terms of cross-country ability, the Hunter is considered a versatile vehicle. If a car is needed to overcome off-road, auto mechanics are advised to give preference to the diesel option. The SUV in question feels great on country roads. But if the car is still stuck in mud or snow, you will need the help of a tractor.

It is necessary to take into account that you cannot drive for a long time on off-road tires with factory tires. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase a set of special all-terrain tires. Motorists note that when driving at a speed of more than 100 km / h, loud noise and creaking are heard in the cabin. It is easy to control the Hunter, however, you will need to turn the steering wheel more actively on sharp turns. When braking, take into account the short braking distance when dropping from 100 km / h to 0, especially if the car was moving faster than 60 km / h.

The technical characteristics of UAZ "Hunter" help the car to maintain 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 up to 130 km / h, the diesel version - up 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 lining of 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, making it 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 new drive axles of the “Spicer” type.

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 ".

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 its 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 mounted on 225/75 or 245/70 tires, which are worn 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 tough 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 more than 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,

Elegant Hunter

As you know, SUVs are designed to overcome difficult terrain. They must have certain advantages that will allow them to move in difficult off-road conditions. A powerful engine and four-wheel drive are required for a car to confidently overcome cavities.

Of course, with such requirements, fuel consumption increases. Not all off-road enthusiasts are ready to constantly spend money on gasoline. Therefore, the domestic auto industry began to produce off-road vehicles UAZ Hunter diesel.

What is a diesel UAZ

UAZ Hunter is the heir to the time-tested UAZ 469, which is popular among motorists to this day. This was the main reason for the start of production of the Hunter. The car does not boast a prestigious design, but its technical characteristics ensure high sales.

The diesel engine hunter incorporates all the best qualities of its predecessor. At the same time, several improvements were made to the design of the SUV, which made it possible to increase its quality at times. For example, the door locking mechanism has been modernized, now they close quite simply and without unnecessary noise. The body is covered with expensive enamel, which gives the SUV a modern look.

In order to increase the ground clearance, the car's footboard was raised and the doorway narrowed. This had a slight impact on overall comfort as it became less comfortable to climb into the cab. The seats have become more anatomical, this has increased the interior space. Now, additional seats can be placed in the back, and the luggage compartment can be equipped with a hinged door, as on modern SUVs.

Hunter has no shortcomings of the 469 model, among which were the poor design of the gearbox and the low power of the engine. The upgraded diesel SUV has the following benefits:

• the salon has become more convenient and comfortable;
• significantly reduced fuel consumption;
• the engine and transmission have been upgraded;
• improved suspension design diagram;
• the volume of the passenger compartment and the carrying capacity have increased.

Diesel engine makes the car more maneuverable

Owner reviews indicate that the car has become multifunctional. It can be used not only in off-road conditions, but also as a family car for outings.

Numerous reviews of the SUV have confirmed that it has a 5-speed manual transmission from Hyundai Dymos. The gearbox of this manufacturer is of high quality, significantly superior to the characteristics of its domestic counterpart.

The advantages of a diesel engine over a gasoline engine

When deciding on the type of engine - diesel or gasoline, it is necessary to take into account the differences between them.

The gasoline hunter is equipped with a 4-cylinder 16-valve ZMZ-409 engine with a capacity of 128 hp. with. and a volume of 2.7 liters. The manufacturing plant recommends refueling the engine with the AI-92 gasoline brand. Fuel consumption is 13.2 liters per 100 km on the combined cycle. The SUV reaches speeds of up to 130 km / h.

A 4-cylinder 16-valve ZMZ-514 engine with a capacity of 114 hp is installed in the diesel Hunter. with. and a volume of 2.2 liters. Average fuel consumption per 100 km is only 10.5 liters. UAZ is capable of accelerating to 120 km / h, developing a torque that reaches 270 Nm.

Based on this, it is safe to say that a diesel engine allows you to save not only on the purchase of a cheaper type of fuel, but also on its consumption. At the same time, the maximum speed of the ZMZ-514 is not much behind the speed of the ZMZ-409. The price of an economical SUV exceeds the price of a gasoline Hunter by 50 thousand rubles. Saving on gasoline will pay off the overpayment after 20 thousand kilometers.

Diesel engine adds auto power

During operation, the diesel engine does not respond to passenger load on the vehicle. The results of the test drive showed that the economical engine does not overheat both when driving on an asphalt surface and when overcoming difficult off-road conditions. This problem is still present when using a gasoline engine.

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 cover of the air intake, 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. Otherwise, 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.

Summing up

"Hunter", indeed, a machine designed for difficult roads, practical, unpretentious and irreplaceable in something for many years. Freely overcomes steep ascents and descents in low gear. Successfully moves along a broken track, if you maintain the necessary clearance.

Energy-intensive suspension, reliable braking system. The minimum comfort is provided by the manufacturer. Weak points in terms of operating time: suspension components, steering, pump, thermostat, fuel system components.
