UAZ-3165 "Simba" is a new generation small tonnage minivan designed to transport people and goods on bad roads. He is able to quickly move not only along dirt roads, but also where there is no path at all. The plant management plans to produce these cars instead of the Loaf model. But it is worth noting that the mass production of UAZ-3165 (minivan) is so far considered only as a prospect.
Modernization
Simba received not only a new design, but also technological design solutions that meet international requirements for efficiency and safety. The new 3165 UAZ differs from its predecessor by the many times increased level of comfort. The car is already in the base equipped with a sunroof, has 6-9 seats and is equipped with radial rubber. Its interior is completely sheathed, the dashboard is brand new, and the steering wheel is adjustable for tilt. For comfort at long distances, the new seats with head restraints are also responsible.
Comfort
The salon is transforming, giving you the opportunity to equip yourself with a full-fledged berth. If it is useless, then such a transformation will make it possible to place an overall load in the internal space for its subsequent transportation. 3165 UAZ in the basic equipment has an all-metal body and five wagon doors. The front seats have three types of adjustments: lumbar, longitudinal and backrest angle adjustment.
Status
The family of vehicles united under the brand name 3165 UAZ includes:
- cargo-passenger car “combi” with 6-9 seats;
- option with increased comfort for transporting passengers;
- a van with a roof trimmed in height;
- truck for transportation;
- version with a large spacious cabin;
- special vehicles for narrow purposes: ambulance, a small bus with twelve seats.
In the future, it is possible that the Simba family will be supplemented with new models and modernized old ones. However, this will directly depend on demand in the Russian market and in the CIS countries.
The engineers and management of the UAZ company plan to produce the Simba in two versions: rear-wheel and front-wheel drive. The first option, of course, will help save money for future owners of these cars. However, not everyone can imagine an UAZ without the ability to connect a front-wheel drive . Given the operating conditions of these machines, the lack of all-wheel drive can greatly affect the functionality of the car in off-road conditions.
The UAZ-3165 van is planned to be released in two types. The first: a low roof, a short overhang and a useful space of 5.3 cubic meters. m. Now we will discuss the second type. It has a high or low roof and a long overhang. The amount of usable space in the van will depend on the vertical parameters. If the roof is high, then it will be 7.2 cubic meters. m. If low - 6.5 cubic meters. m. The dimensions of the cargo platform will be 2600 x 1970 millimeters. In the passenger-and-freight version of cars with 5 seats, the platform will decrease and get dimensions of 2000 x 1970 millimeters.
The basis
3165 UAZ will receive a wide range of engines, which includes not only domestic, but also imported engines. All will be V-shaped, the number of cylinders will be from four to six. Moreover, a car with less than 9 seats can be driven by a driver who has category “B” rights.
So what is the result? We have the following: UAZ has created a multifunctional model that is easy to use in various conditions and for all kinds of purposes. It can be a family truck. It will be used for the needs of the Ministry of Emergencies, the army and medical institutions. So we examined the key parameters of this vehicle.
