There was information that orders for the Patriot and Pickup versions with automatic transmission were temporarily suspended. Most likely, this is due to EU sanctions that banned the delivery of French Punch Powerglide 6L50 gearboxes to the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant.
However, at UAZ, as well as other industries, they are trying to replace the component base. They have already started putting five-speed Chinese mechanics from BAIC on cars, it is likely that in time they will find a replacement for automatic machines.
Dealers still have some automatic pickups and Patriots in stock, but supplies are running low.
The cars still appear on the official website: for example, the UAZ Patriot with automatic transmission was offered in the following trim levels: “Comfort Automatic”, “Luxe Automatic” and “Luxe Premium Automatic” (from 1,935,000 to 2,140,000 rubles) , and the UAZ Pickup in Comfort Automatic” and “Lux Premium” (from 2,025,000 to 2,240,000 rubles).
