UAZ diesel in detail about fuel consumption
Content
Patriot cars are gaining high popularity not only in the Russian market, but also abroad. The main advantage of some models is the off-road diesel mechanism. For this reason, many are interested in the fuel consumption of UAZ Patriot diesel. And for good reason, because it is much lower than that of gasoline models.
Specifications Patriot
Power system features
The diesel Patriot differs in many ways from previous car models. So, the first difference can be seen already in the features of the SUV power system. In the new Patriot car series, you can see a completely different fuel supply scheme. This characteristic had a positive impact not only on the performance of the machine, but also reduced fuel consumption for UAZ diesel. It is worth noting that it will be possible to save only if a powerful motor is installed.
| Engine | Consumption (track) | Consumption (city) | Consumption (mixed cycle) |
| Hunter 2.2 | - | - | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
| Patriot 2017 2.2 | Xnumx l / xnumx km | Xnumx l / xnumx km | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
| Patriot 2.2 | - | - | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
Tank upgrade
The tank of the car also acquired changes. Its average volume has been increased to 90 liters - enough to overcome 700 km of the track. In modern models, a new transfer case is mounted. Such cardinal changes were made when a discrepancy between the technical indicators of the number of gears and the norm was discovered. Thanks to the modernization of the car, it was possible to influence the fuel consumption of UAZ diesel per 100 km.
Patriot transmission features
To improve the gear ratio, the creators decided to integrate a new transmission. In most models, a 2,6-liter engine is installed, which operates in parallel with a 2,2-liter engine. The real consumption of a UAZ Patriot on a gasoline unit averages about 13 liters. fuel for every hundred kilometers.
So, for a hundred kilometers you will spend no more than 11 liters. But, it is worth noting that diesel cars will also have a price higher than the gasoline counterpart of the car. Diesel cars have less power, so they are best used within the city.
Features of the Patriot engine
Each owner of an SUV from ZMZ has already experienced all the delights of a diesel engine. Let's take a closer look at its features:
- in the first year of production of a diesel UAZ, an IVECO Fia turbodiesel was used, with a power of about 116 hp;
- the working volume was 2,3 liters;
- the fuel consumption of the UAZ Patriot diesel Iveco was quite large, so the creators had the goal of solving the problem of consumption;
- Zavolzhsky plant created its own diesel - ZMS-51432.
Today, it can be found in almost all Patriot lineups. The real diesel consumption has been much reduced, thanks to the new fuel supply system. If we compare its consumption with a gasoline counterpart, then the difference between the indicators per 100 km will reach two to five liters. UAZs have an engine with 4 working cylinders and 16 valves. The blocks are made of aluminium. In UAZ, fuel consumption in mixed mode is 9,5 liters per hundred kilometers.
Advantages and disadvantages of the diesel Patriot
Diesel Patriot has already received approval from a large number of drivers, because the SUV is able to cope with all the difficulties of off-road without any problems. Plus, the diesel fuel mechanism reduces consumption, which is why cars are considered economical. Also, it is worth noting the following advantages:
- ease of operation and maintenance of the car;
- SUV is able to drive off-road at an angle of 35 degrees;
- the car is able to conquer fords and trenches, about 50 cm deep;
- high quality interior trim.
According to the diesel consumption according to the technical data sheet, you will need 9,5 liters of fuel per 100 km. As you can see, these models are more economical. Among the shortcomings, one can single out the high price of a car and a low indicator of the dynamism and power of the Patriot power units.
Factors affecting fuel consumption
Previously, a gasoline system was installed on the car, which was not characterized by economy. So, for one hundred kilometers, the owners could spend about 20 liters of fuel. What is the reason for such a large expense?
The creators decided to install a diesel system that would help reduce consumption to a minimum.
The fuel consumption rate of the Patriot in quiet city traffic is approximately 12 liters per 100 km. As you can see, this figure is significantly less than that of the gasoline system. If you drive an SUV onto the track, then fuel consumption will be even less. So, at a speed of about 90 km per hour, it will be 8,5 liters. It is worth noting that the fuel consumption indicator will be influenced by such factors as the nature of the driver's ride and the quality of the road, the condition of the car, the ambient temperature, etc.
Ways to reduce consumption
The Patriot SUV has a higher gas consumption than any passenger car, which is why owners want to save costs as much as possible. The increase in consumption is affected by the overall motor, the large weight of the car and the presence of all-wheel drive. You can reduce fuel consumption by following these recommendations:
- ride at medium speed. Remember that every 10 km of speed is reflected in fuel consumption;
- if you do not need a roof rack, then put it in the garage, this way you will improve aerodynamics;
- before starting the operation of the Patriot car, be sure to warm up the engine;
- if possible, avoid off-road, as in such areas the fuel consumption reaches its maximum value;
- Periodically check your car. So, blockages or breakdowns detected in time will help to avoid unnecessary costs.
Limit your driving style to calm and even driving. Frequent acceleration and deceleration increase fuel consumption. Violations in the power supply system of an SUV can double the consumption. Avoid "idling" and keep an eye on your tire pressure, especially on the rear wheels.
