UAZ-315195: distinctive features

The legend of Soviet impassability, which has been collected for more than 30 years on the conveyors of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, is still popular among motorists. Model UAZ-315195, which received its name - "Hunter", is an indispensable assistant where there is no normal road surface. Let's look at it in more detail.

Technical characteristics of UAZ-315195

The model is equipped with a 16-valve petrol injection engine with a capacity of 136.7 hp. Thanks to a new way of attaching the engine to the frame, vibration is markedly reduced. The new 5-speed gearbox features an unusual switching order. Opposite the 1st transfer is not the 2nd, but the reverse. This arrangement allows you to quickly switch the speed when swinging the car. But the car is remarkably moving from its place and in the second gear. In any case, it will be necessary to get used to the peculiarities of the unusual switching of speeds.

The highest transfer of the dispenser is in the form of a helical coupling pair, which gives a small-mesh engagement. The work of the transfer box is regulated by a single lever. Now it works much quieter than its previous counterparts.

Chassis UAZ-315195 favorably differs from previous models by the presence of non-removable bridges such as "Spicer". Permanent rear-wheel drive with a connectable front axle provides high throughput. A ground clearance of 210 mm and a 16-inch wheel size make it impossible to notice low curbs. Small potholes are almost "swallowed" by the suspension and rubber.

The changes that have occurred in the design of the front suspension, allow you to confidently keep the direction of movement at a speed of more than 70 km / h. The rear part is still resting on the springs, which allow you to transport large loads.

Control

The model is equipped with a power steering. Despite the great relief for the driver, the operation of this unit leaves much to be desired. Especially when driving at high speed you have to steer constantly, which causes awkwardness and fear among passengers sitting next to and watching the manipulations of the driver. In fact, this technical drawback in the sensitivity of the amplifier does not have a noticeable complexity in the management, because the Russian jeep is not a high-speed car, but rather corresponds to off-road driving where high speeds are inappropriate. There, in the native element, the hydraulic booster performs its work on 100%.

Interior and exterior

The traditional look of the body slightly changed the plastic pads and bumpers. The radiator grille is also made of modern materials. The windows of the doors are devoid of mechanisms for lowering. Of course, they are not deaf, but are now made in the form of sliding windows. This was very correctly done. When used in summer, when you can remove the hard top of the car, the rattling of the lowered windows in the doors was superfluous. Now nothing will distract the driver. The upper part of the door can also be removed. Traditionally, the front doors were narrowed from below. But it echoes the legendary jeep Willys, which became the prototype of the Soviet UAZ.

The car's interior has a felt covering, slightly removing road noise. More modern looks and the instrument panel, improved seats. The rear has become more difficult to remove, but they are laid out so that they turn into full-fledged sleeping places for two adults.

What is capable of the UAZ-315195 "Hunter"?

The fact that Russian jeep can get up on the road is not all foreign ATVs can afford. And for the money for which you can buy a brand new UAZ-315195, only well-used analogues of foreign production are available.

Therefore, for decades, the Russian jeep remains indispensable for lovers of active recreation and residents of villages and settlements of our vast country.
