UAZ "Hunter": reviews of owners and review of SUV

UAZ "Hunter" belongs to a number of all-wheel drive off-road vehicles and is an upgraded version of the military 469-th UAZ, the design of which was developed more than 30 years ago. According to the manufacturer, released in 2007, Hunter was built entirely on a new platform, which allowed the use of a number of modern components and aggregates. Well, let's look at how successful the new UAZ Hunter was.

Owner feedback and design review

The exterior of the car was only partially reworked. In general, the modernization was aimed at remaking the military UAZ under the city SUV. As a result, the main distinguishing feature of the novelty was its plastic bumper. According to motorists, the engineers of the Ulyanovsk car factory managed to combine the incompatible - somehow they planned to modernize it, attaching a plastic shock element to the military jeep. Due to the fact that the new element is often scratched when driving off-road and cracking at the slightest blow, many car owners simply remove it and install the power bumper (as a rule, the RIF brand). UAZ simply must be with a steel bumper, otherwise its title of fearless Russian SUV, which is subject to any obstacles, will disappear from the subconscious of our motorists.

UAZ "Hunter": dimensions of the body

It should be noted that the new model is not too different in size from its predecessor with a 30-year history. So, the length of the new SUV is 410 centimeters, width - 201 centimeters, and height - 202.5 centimeters. At the same time, the ground clearance is 210 millimeters, which makes it the absolute leader in the patency among cars of this class.

UAZ "Hunter": feedback from owners about the interior

Inside, changes are more noticeable than in the case of the exterior. The front panel was radically redesigned. In it, almost everything has changed, even the layout of the dashboard. It is unclear, of course, why it was placed in the center, if UAZ "Hunter" was not originally developed for export.

If we compare the interior design with that of the 469th UAZ, we can say with certainty that the salon got rid of its asceticism and became much more comfortable and cozy. Although for the present, this design of the details is clearly outdated and is in the interval between the 1980s and the 1990s. Even the Nissan-Terano, produced in 1986, did not have a modest and poorly equipped interior. The steering wheel on the off-road vehicle UAZ "Hunter" -409 is still not regulated. But the back of the driver's seat can be exposed at any angle, which allows the driver to adjust the chair for his anatomical features. By the way, the seat also has a longitudinal adjustment.

UAZ "Hunter": owner feedback on the cost

The minimum price for a new Hunter from an official UAZ dealer is about 479 thousand rubles. For an all-wheel drive SUV of this class this is quite a democratic price, although many prefer buying a used jeep (usually Japanese) with the age of 15-20 years.
