UAZ Patriot 2016 in detail about fuel consumption
Content
The novelty of 2016 was the UAZ Patriot SUV. The car is optimally operated, both on paved roads and off-road. The main advantages of the machine include reasonable price and functionality. The only drawback is the fuel consumption of the 2016 UAZ Patriot, as it is equipped with a fairly powerful engine. In this article, we will consider what kind of gasoline consumption is in the UAZ and how to reduce it.
The main characteristics of the Patriot engine
UAZ-3163 is currently equipped with two types of engines - Iveco diesel, or a Zavolzhsky production device. They differ from each other in almost all indicators of patency and power reserve. So, the technical passport of the Iveco engine contains information about the volume - 2,3 liters and the horsepower indicator - 116. The 2016 Patriot diesel consumption is about 10 liters of fuel for every 100 km.
| Engine | Consumption (mixed cycle) |
| Diesel 2.2 | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
| Gasoline 2.7 | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
Innovation Patriot 2016
More recently, the Patriot began to be equipped with domestically produced engines, which are being developed by the Zavolzhsky plant. This engine model has acquired the name ZMS-51432. It is worth noting that the engine power is lower than the diesel device, however, the actual fuel consumption of the Patriot 2016 is reduced, so this configuration is more economical. So, the car burns only 9,5 liters of gasoline per 100 km.
Transmission Specifications
The new UAZ car is equipped with three main transmission modes:
- 4 by 2 mode. Today it is considered the most economical option, since fuel consumption is lower than in other modes;
- work is carried out with the participation of the wheel back drive;
- 4 by 4 mode. It is also called all-wheel drive, so this mode achieves the highest speed;
- a feature of the work is the inclusion in the mechanism of the front axle of the car. With this scheme, the cost of gasoline reaches its maximum point.
A mode based on the use of a reduced transmission line. The distribution mechanism is activated due to the action of the electric drive. This means that the Patriot does not have additional levers, but the car has a puck-shaped switch that changes modes.
2016 Patriot transmission flaw
The main drawback of the Patriot transmission is the lack of cross-axle differentials, so car owners often upgrade their SUV on their own. This solution reduces the cost of fuel and increases the performance of the machine.
Methods for determining real consumption
Although the UAZ SUV, according to the technical specifications, has a fuel consumption of about 100 liters per 10 km, but many factors can increase fuel consumption. For example, when calculating the cost of fuel, it is imperative to take into account the nature of the ride, the presence of additional components in the Patriot - trunks, mirrors for lighting inaccessible areas and fly swatters. All these details affect the fact that fuel consumption increases.
Real consumption calculation
After a certain time of operation, the need for Patriot fuel per 100 km also increases. Usually, after the owner winds up 10 km, the gasoline UAZ consumes already 000 liters more than before.
For an SUV, everything is complicated due to the presence of two fuel tanks. The main tank is considered to be the right one, and an additional reserve is placed on the left. Gasoline is automatically poured into the main compartment when it runs out of gas.
The easiest way to calculate
In order to determine the consumption of the Patriot 2016 model year, you can use the simplest way - install a trip computer. Its mechanism allows you to find out the exact fuel consumption, according to the accounting for the opening of the nozzles. To get more accurate numbers, you need to calibrate the computer machine. For this, a European standard has been established for the Patriot - fuel consumption is 1,5 liters per hour of rolling at idle.
Ways to reduce fuel consumption
To reduce the fuel consumption of the Patriot SUV, you should follow the recommendations and tips, such as:
- in order to significantly save on fuel consumption, it is best to purchase a Patriot SUV on a diesel mechanism;
- diesel performance is considered the most optimal for city streets and traffic;
- it is recommended to constantly monitor the level of tire pressure;
- if you notice instability in the indicators, then you should seek help from a car service.
It should be noted that if you use low-quality fuel, then not only its consumption will increase, but also the liquid will have a negative effect on the car's engine. For this reason, it is better not to skimp on gasoline, as in the event of a breakdown, you will pay much more.
Questions and techniques for saving
Today, SUV owners are looking for and coming up with new ways to save gasoline. So, one of the popular ways is to install additional HBO. What it is? A special device for transferring a car to gas supply. This option requires a minimum cash flow, since everyone knows the fact that gas is much cheaper than gasoline.
To reduce fuel consumption, experts recommend installing additional equipment only when absolutely necessary. For this reason, if you don't need an SUV roof rack, then ditch it.. Thus, you will lighten the weight of the car, thereby reducing gas mileage. Gasoline is more powerful than diesel, but it is not economical, therefore, a diesel engine is installed to reduce fuel costs. The disadvantage of such an SUV device is the inability to master high climbs at low speeds.
Finally, it can be noted that despite the large dimensions of the car and the optimal technical characteristics, the Patriot consumes little gasoline. A huge plus of an SUV should be considered its all-wheel drive.
Interesting facts about consumption
- the fuel consumption of the Patriot necessarily takes into account the speed of the vehicle, the higher its rate, the greater the fuel consumption;
- at a speed of 90 km per hour UAZ Patriot 2016, the fuel consumption of an SUV will be 10,4 liters;
- if the indicator grows to 120 km per hour, then fuel consumption will already be 14,5 liters;
- Gasoline consumption is higher in summer than in winter.
It is for this reason that diagnostics should be carried out before each operation of the machine. The frequent start of the car increases fuel consumption, this is observed in traffic jams. With such a ride, consumption can exceed 18 liters of gasoline per 100 km.
