• Capacity and load capacity

Hunter will surround you and your passengers with care and soften all the blows of fate that the road will throw at you. It uniquely combines the cross-country ability of a tank and the comfort of a city car. Traveling outside the city will not be a headache, but a pleasant entertainment.

Hunter is your freedom of action and choice. This is an excellent cross-country ability and an easygoing disposition. You can leave the road atlas at home. Why do you need roads when there is a real SUV?!

Advantages and disadvantages of the updated Hunter

If the practically unchanged appearance can be considered both an advantage and a disadvantage, then the technical characteristics of the UAZ-Hunter have undoubtedly increased:

• expanded range of engines;
• improved Korean gearbox;
• modern paintwork;
• improved interior heater;
• metal bumpers on the latest editions.

The main disadvantage of the UAZ can be considered the almost complete lack of comfort and narrow doorways. And if the level of amenities can somehow be increased, then the doors cannot be changed. The second drawback is the non-racing capabilities: 35 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of 130 km/h for the gasoline version. After all, this is first and foremost a “tank” and only then a means of transportation. The UAZ-Hunter, whose technical characteristics are designed with an off-road focus, remains one of the most favorite cars for tuning. But this is a separate topic.

A few words must be said about the ZMZ-514 diesel engine. With a volume of 2.4 liters, a power of 86 liters is achieved. With. The UAZ-Hunter diesel, whose technical characteristics remain high, is a more pleasant option for off-road use. This is a relatively less revving, but most high-torque engine. And the presence of a turbine has a positive effect on speed characteristics and acceleration.

The diesel option is also the most economical. Let's look at the technical characteristics (fuel consumption) of the UAZ-Hunter model:

1. ZMZ-409 - 13.2 l.
2. UMZ-4218 - 15.5 l.
3. ZMZ-514 - 11.9 l.

The figures given correspond to a combined cycle of 100 km. And in case of consumption on the highway without connecting the front end, the diesel will be within 8 liters per 100 km.

Characteristics

Engines

The Ulyanovsk SUV has two engines:

• Gasoline 4-cylinder engine. Volume 2.7 liters ZMZ 409;
• Diesel 4-cylinder engine. Volume 2.3 liters ZMZ 5143.

The gasoline engine is equipped with direct fuel injection (injector). It has 4 valves per cylinder and an overhead timing mechanism. With these modern technical systems, it develops a power of 128 hp. With. and torque 216 N.m at 3000 rpm.

With this power unit, Hunter reaches a top speed of 130 km/h. Naturally, with such a substantial volume, the fuel consumption of the UAZ Hunter is 13.2 liters per 100 km. This is the so-called average consumption. When driving off-road, it is naturally noticeably larger.

Engine ZMZ 409

As for the diesel engine, its power is slightly less, only 96 hp. With. The torque is the same as that of a gasoline engine - 216 Nm, however, it is achieved at 2100 rpm and this allows the “goat” to drive uphill without pressing the gas pedal. The maximum speed, of course, of a diesel UAZ is somewhat less than that of a gasoline one, somewhere a little less than a hundred. But highway racing is not Hunter’s element, his element is off-road, and that’s where the diesel version will show all its advantages.

By the way, usually the owners of diesel “goats” quite confidently maintain a speed of 90 km/h, while they also drive quite confidently on the dirt road at the same speed.

In general, a diesel engine is much more advanced, so to speak, than a gasoline engine. Previously, a Polish engine was installed on SUVs, but after the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant developed its ZMZ-514 series in the early 2000s, they began installing domestic power units, since they were not only not inferior to imported ones, but even superior to them.

The diesel engine is equipped with a turbocharger and is equipped with direct fuel injection, which gives it the opportunity to have fuel consumption previously unattainable for an SUV from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, somewhere in the region of 10 liters per 100 kilometers.

Exterior of UAZ Hunter

The car has noticeably changed; its strict military bearing has acquired an urban gloss and style.

Interior

The interior of the Hunter matches its appearance - spartan and no hint of comfort. But the designers have at least slightly redesigned the seats, increasing their comfort, and also equipping the rear row with headrests. By the way, it is separate.

Unlike previous models, the front panel of the Hunter is trimmed with plastic. The main place on it, and the central one, is reserved for the instrument panel. All information sensors on it are round, analog, located in a row, which determines such dimensions of the tidy. Below the sensors there is a block of functional keys.

There is no center console as such. Instead, there is an opening with visible electrical wiring and air ducts of the heating system.

Although the Hunter appeared in 2003, they never got around to installing power windows in the doors. Instead, there is split glass, and if the driver wants to ventilate the interior, he needs to move one of the glass halves to the side.

The transmission of this car is controlled using two levers coming from the central tunnel. One of them controls the gearbox, and the second controls the transfer case. That's all the interior equipment.

UAZ Hunter salon

The interior space of the car has ceased to be ascetic and allows the driver and passengers to sit comfortably.

• New design seats with fabric upholstery: Longitudinal adjustment of the front seats will allow both tall drivers and people of average height to sit comfortably behind the wheel.
• Adjustable backrest angle and lumbar support for the front seats help to properly distribute the load on the body and make long-distance travel more comfortable.
• The comfortable second-row seat folds or stows easily to accommodate more cargo.

Options and cost

The UAZ “Hunter” is no longer produced, although dealers still have new models of this SUV, without mileage, and even in several trim levels. It’s just that there are configurations, but no optional equipment as such. For example, the basic model, called “Classic”, is equipped with:

1. Hyundai gearbox;
2. Alloy wheels;
3. Metallic paint.

UAZ "Hunter" in the "Trophy" configuration

The top-end configuration - “Trophy”, in addition to the described options, has protection for steering rods and transmission units; cars with it are also available in a special color and with exclusive wheels. That's where all the options ended.

It is worth mentioning the special “Victory” series of “Hunter”, which ended the production of this SUV. It was dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Victory, thanks to which the car received some special options - army paint with airbrushing of musical notes (the distinctive sign of the Maestro from the film “Only Old Men Go to Battle”), as well as a souvenir set consisting of a raincoat, an entrenching tool and pot.

Another indisputable advantage of this car, along with cross-country ability, is its low cost. And although the production of “Hunter” has already been stopped, you can still buy a new SUV, albeit only with a gasoline engine.

The basic version of the Hunter with an all-metal body will cost the buyer only 469,000 rubles. The model with the “Trophy” package costs RUB 529,900. The special “Victory” series SUV will cost the same.

The UAZ Hunter engine , which you see in the photo in our article, is installed from the Patriot model. Both gasoline and diesel engines of the UAZ Hunter are exactly the same as those of the Patriot. The 2.7-liter gasoline engine produces 128 hp, the 2.3-liter diesel engine produces a little less, only 114 horses, but the torque level of the diesel engine is not comparable. Today we will tell you in detail about the design and characteristics of UAZ Hunter engines.

The UAZ Hunter ZMZ-409 gasoline engine is a 4-cylinder, 16-valve, in-line, with an integrated microprocessor fuel injection control system. Fuel injection is carried out into the intake pipe. An ignition system with coils that supply current to spark plugs screwed vertically into the center of the combustion chambers. There are even special wells in the cylinder head cover for this purpose. A microprocessor system with an electronic engine control unit automatically controls the ignition timing.

The cylinder block of the UAZ Hanter power unit is cast from cast iron, the cylinder head is aluminum, with two camshafts and hydraulic valve compensators. Timing chain drive . At the same time, the chain device of the gas distribution mechanism of the Hunter engine is very complex, since it consists of two chains connected through an intermediate shaft. Plus there are two hydraulic chain tensioners with sprockets. This entire structure is a weak point of the entire engine, since insufficient tension and breakdown of the hydraulic tensioner lead to increased noise of the UAZ engine. In addition, hydraulic compensators often fail, which leads to knocking in the valve mechanism.

Below are detailed technical characteristics of the UAZ Hanter ZMZ-40905 gasoline engine .

Chassis

Modernization of chassis units has improved the smoothness of the ride, road stability and reliability of the vehicle, and has had a positive impact on safety.

• Spring front suspension provides a smoother ride, and an anti-roll bar helps maintain the selected direction of travel.
• Gas shock absorbers installed at an optimal angle help smooth out the surface texture.
• Power steering - makes it easier to control the car when parking and at low speeds.
• Disc brakes on the front wheels and upgraded drums on the rear wheels with automatic clearance adjustment ensure high efficiency of the braking system.

The car's transmission has completely changed. Driving the Hunter has become comfortable and convenient.

• New five-speed gearbox in a single housing: improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise levels.
• The new imported “LUK” clutch ensures soft and smooth gear shifting.
• New Spicer axles: improve handling by optimizing wheel alignment angles, using ball pins on spherical bearings and Beerfield joints.
• New helical transfer case: makes it easier to switch transmission modes by using a single lever;
• reduces the noise level in the cabin.

Technical features

The technical characteristics of the UAZ-Hunter in the basic version are represented by three power units. Two petrol and one diesel engines provide a fairly wide choice for the sophisticated car owner.

• ZMZ-409 is a classic unit from the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant with a volume of 2.7 liters.
• UMZ-4218 is the engine of Ulyanovsk engineers with the maximum volume for the Hunter line of 2.9 liters.
• ZMZ-514 is the first Russian-made diesel vehicle for UAZ with a volume of 2.4 liters.

The gearbox on the car is a five-speed manual and is now only of the Korean type. Although at the beginning of the model’s release in 2003, the old Russian gearbox produced by Arzamas was still installed. The reliability of the car has only increased due to the introduction of a foreign analogue, as has its price. But some changes need to be made regardless of the general rise in price of the product.

The car's transfer case is still two-stage. The suspension is made according to a time-tested design: dependent spring at the front and dependent spring at the rear. There is a front anti-roll bar and four double-acting shock absorbers.

The UAZ-Hunter, whose technical characteristics are revealed in off-road conditions, remains a passenger car. Wheels of size 16 can be changed in a fairly wide range without making changes to the design. The front brakes of the UAZ are disc type, and the rear brakes are drum type. Whereas on the 469th they are all drum-shaped in a circle.

As for the dimensions, everything remains the same. The length of the Hunter is 4.17 m, the width is 2.01 m with mirrors, and the height is 2.025 m. The ground clearance of the basic modification is 21 cm. For comparison: for “pumped up” UAZs this figure increases to 35 cm. The weight of the car approaching 2 tons. At the same time, the diesel version will be the heaviest - 1815 kg versus its gasoline counterparts 1665 kg and 1770 kg.

Differences between the Expedition version

A special edition of the SUV, ready to push extreme off-road areas, received a lot of additional equipment that is not available in the regular Classic package. Thus, the new model’s arsenal includes:

• Expeditionary roof rack with high walls around the perimeter;
• Convenient tailgate instead of a rear hinged door;
• Power front bumper with towing loops and a platform for installing a winch;
• Rear bumper with towbar and hole for rack and pinion jack;
• Reinforced sills that can withstand the load when jacking up the car;
• Modified wheel arches with plastic linings;
• Off-road tires BFGoodrich All-Terrain size 235/85 R16 on steel wheels (increase ground clearance from 210 to 241 mm);
• Three body color options: basic orange-black metallic, gray-brown metallic and green non-metallic Khaki (the last two for an additional fee of 10,900 rubles).

Tailgate

The interior of the new UAZ Hunter Expeditionary is distinguished by special seat upholstery made of fabric impregnated with a water-repellent composition, stitched with double white thread. Also, the hardcore version of the Hunter by default has heated front seats, which is included in the list of options for the Classic version (price 4,000 rubles).

SLOWLY BUT SURELY

I tested the car while driving. The work history of a hard-working diesel engine cannot be hidden. You need to operate the gearbox lever quickly and feel the edge of the thrust at each step. But you get used to it right away. The pace in the city is at a level that is not inferior to passenger cars in the capital of the province. In fifth gear I can move without strain at sixty, and accelerate to one hundred and twenty without squinting. Pulls! The clutch is a little tight, but it works smoothly, you can forget about easing the throttle. Therefore, maneuvering in a parking lot with this diesel engine is as easy as with an automatic transmission.

Types of bodies, overall dimensions

Let's start with the size and body of this car. Like the previous model, for this

There were two body styles available for the Jeep. The main one was a 5-door station wagon with a hard iron top.

In addition, the Hunter is cheap and comes in a station wagon-phaeton body, with a removable canvas top stretched over dismantled arches.

If we draw conclusions in general, then “Hunter” has no innovations other than the name and some small elements. And since no transformations were made to the structural part, the dimensions of the jeep remained virtually the same as those of the 3151 model.

The length of the “Hunter” is 4.1 m, its width (with folded mirrors) is 2.01 m, and its height is 2.025 m. The main advantage of this jeep is its ground clearance, which is 210 mm.
