All-wheel drive off-road passenger vehicle for use on roads of all categories, as well as over rough terrain.

The UAZ-469B car is a “civilian” version of the UAZ-469 model - without a starting heater, drive axles with a single-stage main gear without final drives (ground clearance 220 mm), made on the basis of the drive axles of the GAZ-69 car, contact (on early models ) or contactless electronic ignition system. The driveshafts are slightly longer compared to the shafts of the UAZ-469 car. The car is open, with a tarpaulin awning (cars with metal or fiberglass roofs are formerly tarpaulin, the hard top was installed separately or as an additional equipment), 2.4 liter engine, 4-speed gearbox.

The UAZ-469B was serially produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant from 1972 to 1985, after which, in accordance with the 1966 industry system, it received the four-digit number 31512 (number 3151 was given to the model with UAZ-469 gear axles).

UAZ-31512 was produced from 1985 to 2005.

Modification options:

1. A modification of the UAZ-31512-UMM with a metal insulated five-door body and installed additional special equipment was produced as a police patrol car.

2. In 2002, at the INTERPOLITEX-2002 arms exhibition, the Scorpion attack vehicle, created on the basis of the UAZ-3151, was presented: with a new 170 hp engine, power steering, removable armor panels, bulletproof glass, bulletproof tires and turret telescopic stand (on which a machine gun or automatic grenade launcher can be mounted). The weight of the vehicle increased to 2,880 kg.

An excellent rogue, overcoming off-road terrain with ease. He doesn't care where to go, he doesn't care if there is a road surface on the road. It tears its wheels from its place and rushes into battle, to conquer mountains and forests. Masculine character and charisma are inherent in him. Dimensions of the UAZ 469 and its characteristics - this will be discussed.

A short excursion

For almost 40 years he produced a legend of the Russian automotive industry from his assembly line. It appeared as an off-road vehicle. Its serial production began in 1972. The car immediately showed its character. First of all, its production was started for the requirements of the army. For military needs, there was an urgent need for a car that was unpretentious to road conditions, that would go everywhere and not be afraid of anything. This is how it remained for many, a Russian SUV, popularly called a “goat”.

Later, military and civilian versions of the UAZ were released. Until mass production began, the car plant produced a car also known to many as the GAZ-69

  • The number of seats in the car is 7 for the military version and 5 for the civilian version of the car.
  • Mechanical four-speed gearbox.

The car was equipped with a gasoline engine. Engine type - UMZ 451MI. The engine capacity was 2.5 liters with a power of 75 Horse power. And it seems that the power is low, but this is a deceptive judgment, since the spar and rigid frame are located under the body.

Limited edition

In 2010, the last batch of UAZ 469 cars was produced. This batch consisted of 5,000 cars. The car changed its name and came out under the number UAZ-315196. There have been changes in the comfort of the car. The car's suspension became spring-loaded. The front brakes became disc. In the configuration with a metal roof, power steering appeared. The car got a different engine - ZMZ-4091, with a power of 112 horsepower. The bridges have also changed, they have become split, and the car's knuckles have become rotating. The bumpers on the car were already made of metal, a folding tailgate appeared, like on the UAZ Hunter.

Description of UAZ UAZ-469

The UAZ-469 was designed to transport cargo, people and towing trailers on all types of roads. Development of the car began in 1961, and the first prototype was built the following year. The car looks like an American Jeep - a tough, utilitarian SUV, but not very comfortable. It is interesting that already in 1965, images of the UAZ-469 could be found in the Soviet press, but the car was still far from being put into production.

The first UAZ-469 rolled off the assembly line of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant on December 15, 1972. They replaced GAZ (UAZ)-69. The Volga GAZ-21, well known to the mechanics of those years and known for its reliability and structural safety margin, was largely used as an aggregate base.

Under the designation UAZ-469, the car was produced until 1985, after which, in accordance with the 1966 industry system, it received the four-digit number 3151 (the civilian modification 469B received the number 31512).

In August 1974, three completely standard (without winches and traction chains) UAZ-469 vehicles reached a glacier on Mount Elbrus at an altitude of 4000 meters during a test run.

In February 2010, the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant announced the resumption of production in a limited batch of a model called “UAZ-469” (index UAZ-315196). Changes have been made to the design to increase comfort (spring front suspension, front disc brakes, power steering (complete with a metal roof), engine ZMZ-4091 112 hp), however, the solutions used in the original design are also used, which have undergone changes: Timken split axles, which received steering knuckles from Spicer axles; metal bumpers complemented by plastic “fangs”; tailgate, previously used on the UAZ Hunter Classic).

In January 2011, the UAZ-469 disappeared from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant catalog, having reached the limit of 5,000 cars. The UAZ Hunter Classic has returned to its place, the price of which is significantly higher than the price of the 469.

Design

A soft awning and metal extensions mounted on four side doors were provided.
The car body is mounted on a durable and torsionally rigid spar frame.
Engine: in-line 4-cylinder 2.5-liter UMZ-451MI engine.
Power: 75 hp Fuel - gasoline A-72 or A-76.
Clutch: dry single disc.
The gearbox is 4-speed (with synchronizers in 3rd and 4th gears).
Fuel tank capacity, l: 2 x 39.
Fuel consumption, l/100 km at 90 km/h: 16.0.
Number of seats: 7

UAZ-469 carries 7 passengers and 100 kg of luggage or two passengers and 600 kg. The car can tow a trailer weighing 850 kg.

To increase ground clearance (clearance) to 300 mm and expand the power range of the transmission, axles with reduced main gear housings and final drives were used, in which reduction gears were installed (but not on the civilian version).

In 1980, the external lighting equipment on UAZs was changed. The direction indicators at the front and rear received orange lenses, and a turn indicator repeater appeared on the side of the hood. At the same time, hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers were introduced into the suspension design instead of lever shock absorbers. Since 1983, the car has been equipped with an engine, model 414, with a power of 77 hp. A year later, an expansion tank and a sealed plug appeared in the cooling system.
