Recently, representatives of the Russian brand announced their entry into the North American market. MotorTrend has evaluated the version of our UAZ Patriot SUV, which will enter the American market under the Bremach Taos brand.
The official distributor of UAZs overseas will be a branch of the Italian company Bremach, and Taos is planned to be assembled in California. Sales of the SUV will start this year, and the price for its standard configuration starts at $ 26,000 (1.9 million rubles).
As described in the magazine, it is a frame SUV with a "chunky design". It has a frame construction with continuous axles at the front and rear, which is a good option for off-road use. According to the author of the article, an all-wheel drive system with a 2-speed transfer case is perfectly combined with such axles.
Spartan interior equipment will not disappoint those who do not expect premium features from it. In addition, Bremach has a significant range of additional equipment for cars, including differential locks, air suspension, blind spot sensors and an expedition kit.
The publication reports that the SUV is equipped with an optional 2.7L inline engine with 150 hp output, working in combination with a 6-speed "automatic".
