UAZ Patriot (UAZ-3163) is a mid-size SUV produced by the UAZ division of SeverstalAvto in Ulyanovsk, Russia. It was introduced in 2005 and replaced the older UAZ Simbir (UAZ-3162). Extensive use of newer parts, large carrying capacity, good off-road capabilities and an affordable price (<15,000 USD) predicted good sales in Russia. 12,011 units were sold in the year 2007.[1]

The unique SUV accommodates five adults and carry about 200 kg cargo.

The UAZ Patriot is possibly a body-on-frame SUV, as well as the UAZ Hunter.

In October 2011, UAZ announced the release of a limited-edition SUV in honour of the 70th anniversary of the plant. Cars of the anniversary series have different exterior and interior trim details.

In May 2012, the plant built a restyled model of the UAZ Patriot with a different dashboard, which no longer had a handle for the front passenger. It had a new, safer four-spoke steering wheel from the German manufacturer Takata-Petri, 2DIN media player and a USB-connector for flash drives.

In August 2013, UAZ started the production of a renewed Patriot with a new transfer case Dymos featuring electronic control.[4]

A facelifted UAZ Patriot debuted in 2014: the SUV got new bumpers, headlights, seats, an optional multimedia system with navigation and a rear back-up camera, some chassis improvements, and a new turbocharger for the diesel engine.[5]
