Portal “Drom” published The image of the new “UAZ Patriot”, which never went into mass production.
The new UAZ Patriot, dubbed the Russian Prado, was announced on April 1, 2019. The model was supposed to receive a new look and a 2.3-liter turbo engine. However, due to lack of funding, not a single example of a fully modernized Patriot was built.
Judging by the declassified images, it was predicted that the model would receive full LED optics, new bumpers, grille and body parts. It was necessary to spend 10 billion rubles to finish the car, but the automaker could not find such money.
It is stated that a return to work on the Russian Prado project seems extremely unlikely.
