Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant denied information received from some dealerships that the production of UAZ Hunter SUVs will be stopped from September 1, 2024. In this regard reports portal drom.ru.
“The information about the discontinuation of the UAZ Hunter is not true. The model is in production, no decision was made to stop assembly; on the contrary, the car will be produced, including special versions and updates, which we will definitely inform about later,” he said.
According to the portal’s source, UAZ Hunter production volumes are small, and if the dealer refuses to make the purchase according to the current assembly scheme, he may consider the car discontinued.
Previously, Jan Heitzer, vice president of the National Automobile Association (NAU) statedThe cost of UAZ “Bukhanka”, which today reaches 2 million rubles, is considered overpriced in relation to its consumer quality and low reliability. He added that motorists are forced to purchase such vehicles due to the lack of alternatives in the SUV segment.
According to him, the “Loaf” also does not meet modern safety standards, handling and dynamic requirements. But prototypes of the new UAZ, which promised victory over the Land Cruiser Prado, remained on paper.
Previously reportedUAZ modernized the Bukhanka, which has been produced for more than 60 years.
