UAZ has allowed the appearance of an automatic transmission in SUVs

Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant does not exclude the installation of an automatic transmission on off-road vehicles "Patriot", "Pickup" and "Profi". However, the timing of the possible appearance of the "automaton" has not yet been determined. This was reported on October 29 by TASS with reference to a representative of the company's press service.

"In a certain future, a transmission of this type can indeed be expected on NMR vehicles (of the new Patriot, Pickup, and Pro model range)," they said.

It is too early to talk about the timing of the introduction of the "automatic". Currently, UAZ's main efforts are aimed at fine-tuning new modifications with a diesel and an updated gasoline engine, as well as with a manual transmission, the company noted.
