The latest report from socialbites.ca reveals a notable shortage of UAZ Patriot SUVs at UAZ dealerships across Russia. According to multiple dealer networks in several regions, the supply of Patriot models has run thin, with eight separate centers confirming limited availability. The supply constraints were also corroborated by Sollers, the owner of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, underscoring a broader trend affecting the retail network.
Officials from Sollers explained that the Patriot and Pickup model lines are experiencing reduced diversity due to ongoing production adjustments and the slow ramp of component supply. The official statement from Sollers, delivered by Alina Komarova, notes that production volumes have remained constrained as the company works through transitional arrangements with new suppliers and base components. This has led to a persistent gap between demand and stock for the Patriot family and related pickup variants through the current quarter’s early months.
On the ground, a central region dealership reported that only the base Patriot configurations were out of stock, while a small batch had arrived only in December, suggesting a staggered restock schedule. In the Urals, another dealer noted that inventory was extremely limited, with no more than five Patriot units available, priced around 1.62 million rubles each. This pricing snapshot highlights the tight market conditions several weeks into the quarter and suggests continued pricing pressure as supply stabilizes.
Across the dealer network, executives are watching production and logistics closely as they navigate ongoing supply challenges for the Patriot and Pickup lines.
