UAZ was founded in 1941 in Russia and in Vietnam, this car line is called “U-oát”. UAZ cars were widely used during the Soviet era for military and civilian purposes. Since 2000, UAZ has become part of the Sollers company.
UAZ is officially distributed in Vietnam through AutoK. The models that are brought to Vietnam include Patriot Hunter and Pickup. UAZ vehicles have a high ground clearance and a 2-wheel drive system for strong traction. In addition, the steel frame of the car is also quite solid. However, UAZ vehicles have high fuel consumption, hard-to-find spare parts and unattractive UAZ car prices, making it difficult to compete with other international brands in Vietnam.

Exterior design
It can be said that UAZ Hunter has an impressive appearance of a “warrior” that can conquer any terrain. The front of the car has a square design with symmetrically large round headlights, a small grille divided into 2 parts, and the UAZ logo.
The tail of the UAZ Hunter 2023 is designed to open horizontally and features a spare tire on the outside. The car uses 16-inch wheels with an impressive chrome-plated frame. The large cylindrical rear lights and the front bumper made of metal show the rugged and powerful spirit that a warrior car needs to have. The body frame is made of lightweight and durable steel.
Interior and amenities
The details inside the car such as the steering wheel, dashboard… are all of basic quality and design. The UAZ Hunter steering wheel is simply covered in leather. The cabin space of the car is not too impressive.
The seats of UAZ Hunter are covered in water-resistant faux leather material. Everything in the car is basic. The plus point is that the driver’s seat can be raised to provide better visibility. Both the driver’s seat and the passenger seat have a comfortable footrest. The second row of seats is spacious enough for 3 adults.
Operating engine
The power of UAZ Hunter comes from a 2.7L gasoline engine, which produces a maximum power of 128 horsepower and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. In addition, UAZ Hunter also has a diesel engine version with a ZMZ-51432 engine that produces a maximum power of 113.5 horsepower and a maximum torque of 270 Nm.
UAZ Patriot
UAZ Patriot is a mini SUV model from Russia that is also imported directly to Vietnam. UAZ Patriot car prices are currently 686 million VND.
Exterior design
The Patriot has a square, military-inspired design. The front of the UAZ Patriot stands out thanks to its protruding front bumper. The car also has a single, large grille and modern LED daytime running lights.
The UAZ Patriot’s tail is quite similar to the Hunter with its horizontal opening design and an external spare tire.
Interior and amenities
The interior of the Patriot cabin is equipped with a simple steering wheel with basic buttons. The dashboard has an integrated small screen for displaying images from the rearview camera. The seats are also not too fancy.
In terms of convenience, UAZ Patriot is not highly rated. The car basically only has power windows and power-adjustable/folding rearview mirrors. The Limited version adds a navigation system, multimedia, rearview camera, and winter accessories. Overall, the convenience of UAZ Patriot is quite basic.
Operating engine
The UAZ Patriot uses a 4-cylinder 2.2L diesel engine. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-wheel drive system with 2H, 4H, and 4L modes. The UAZ Patriot’s engine produces a maximum power of 113 horsepower and enables the car to reach a maximum speed of 135 km/h.

UAZ Pickup is in the pickup truck segment in Vietnam, where there are popular models such as the Ford Ranger, Mazda BT50, Mitsubishi Triton, and Toyota Hilux. UAZ Pickup 2023 currently has prices ranging from 495 to 560 million VND for three versions.
In the UAZ 2023 car price list, the Pickup model has a starting price of 490 million VND
Exterior design
The overall dimensions of UAZ Pickup are 5,125 x 1,915 x 1,915 mm. In general, the exterior is compact and features many design elements of the UAZ Patriot SUV model. If Pickup is considered a version with the cargo box of the Patriot, it is not too remarkable.
UAZ Patriot is available in many colors for customers to choose from including Black, Brown, Silver, Grey, White, and Green.
Interior and amenities
Inside the Pickup, the interior is simple and traditional to UAZ, and the cabin space is quite cramped. The seats on the car are only covered in leather and have limited adjustability. The air conditioning is manually adjustable, and there is a 7-inch screen integrated with the navigation system, along with a 4-speaker sound system.
Operating engine
UAZ Pickup offers two engine options: a 2.7L gasoline engine and a 2.2L diesel engine. The gasoline engine produces a power of 135 horsepower and a peak torque of 217 Nm, while the diesel engine produces 113 horsepower and 270 Nm. Both engines are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-wheel drive system, giving the car good off-road capabilities.
Comparison of UAZ car prices in 2023 by segment
UAZ car prices in Vietnam are quite cheap for the models compared to Japanese, Korean, and European-American competitors. Specifically, in the pickup truck segment, the starting price of UAZ Pickup is cheaper than its competitors such as Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Hilux.
This is also true for UAZ Patriot when compared to Toyota Fortuner, Ford Everest, and Nissan Terra in the mid-size SUV segment, as well as UAZ Hunter in the off-road vehicle segment.
Conclusion
Although the UAZ car prices are quite cheap for the models compared to Japanese, Korean, and European-American competitors, the design and engine technology of the car are relatively outdated and exploratory, which has not attracted buyers and is not competitive.
To truly establish a presence in the Vietnamese market, UAZ still needs to do a lot, improving from design to adding amenities and upgrading the engine.
Note: UAZ 2023 is understood as UAZ cars produced in 2023 and does not reflect the model year of the product.
