Dealerships are grappling with a stubborn supply crunch as Patriot SUVs remain scarce on many showroom floors. Demand stays strong even as inventory dwindles, leaving potential buyers with limited choices and longer wait times.
In one showroom, only one Patriot was on display, finished in a bold protective paint called “Raptor.” A manual transmission model starts at roughly 1.8 million rubles, while the most capable automatic variants begin around 2.8 million rubles. The higher-end configurations sit at the top end of the price spectrum, usually bundled with premium features.
Across other locations, manual transmission Patriots are currently unavailable, and there is no clear delivery timeline for new stock according to current forecasts.
The UAZ press office acknowledged a persistent shortage, noting that automatic transmission models are most affected. The company stated it is taking concrete steps to stabilize the supply chain and accelerate deliveries to dealers.
7000 Tires for Widely Used Sizes Are Required
Reliable vehicles are essential for public safety logistics. Healthcare providers and emergency responders rely on steady access to suitable transport to perform critical duties smoothly.
Working with the Popular Front, the effort continues to raise funds for tire purchases intended for the People’s Police and other operational services in the LPR and DPR regions. The goal is to equip ambulances, emergency response teams, humanitarian aid convoys, and military support vehicles with high-quality tires. Donations can be made through a dedicated tire procurement page that coordinates collection and distribution.
