The UAZ-469 , later sold as the UAZ-3151 and UAZ Hunter , is an off-road military light utility vehicle manufactured by UAZ since 1971.
The UAZ-469 , later sold as the UAZ-3151 and UAZ Hunter , is an off-road military light utility vehicle manufactured by UAZ since 1971. It was used by Soviet and other Warsaw Pact armed forces, as well as paramilitary units in Eastern Bloc countries. In the Soviet Union , it also saw widespread service in state organizations that needed a robust and durable off-road vehicle. Standard military versions included seating for seven personnel.
In 1956, the Soviet Army ordered UAZ to design a successor for an outdated GAZ-69 . At first the vehicle supposed to be amphibious and have a rear engine layout but later the order was simplified, and the car received a chassis of UAZ-450 . The first prototypes were called UAZ-460 and had 400 mm of clearance, the model was proven to be prone to rollovers. Later the V4-powered unibody UAZ-471 was made, but its serial production required the plant reconstruction, so it was cancelled.
In 1961 the first UAZ-469 was made, it lowered to 300 mm of clearance and was powered by the same 75 hp (55 kW) 2,445 cc (149.2 cu in) UMZ -452MI inline-four engine as the UAZ-452 and is able to run on gasoline with an octane rating as low as 72 (although 76 was preferred). This engine was used in a variety of Soviet vehicles, including the GAZ-21 Volga passenger car. The UAZ-469 presented two great advantages: it was able to drive in virtually any terrain and it was very easy to repair.
Due to Soviet Union building expensive VAZ and KamAZ factories at the same time, UAZ-469 production was delayed and only began in 1971. At first, only a military version with ground clearance of 300 mm (12 in) entered the production, civilian UAZ-469B with clearance decreased to 220 mm (8.7 in) was introduced in 1973. The cars were mostly purchased by army and state agencies, but many were sold as surplus to private owners.
In 1974 three stock UAZ-469B became the first cars to ever conquer Mount Elbrus . The cars took 38 minutes to go 4200 m above sea level. The expedition was curated by the engineer of Nalchik High Mountain Geophysical Institute Aleksei Berberashvili, who previously drove 5600km up the Elbrus on a custom-made bike, becoming the first ever biker to conquer the mountain. Aside from expedition the cars that day were assisting in a rescue mission, bringing the emergency equipment to the people stuck on Elbrus. According to drivers, the engine power got shortened by approximately 40% but none of the cars broke down.
In 2010 in honor of the Victory Day UAZ launched a limited edition of Hunter under the original UAZ-469 nameplate.
June 4, 2010 UAZ Hunter set a world record of the biggest passenger capacity. In collaboration with Rumyantsev State School of Circus and Variety Art UAZ held an event where their car fitted 32 people including the driver. The weight of the passengers (including the driver) was 1900 kg and the car was able to drive the minimum required 10 meters with no people falling out of the car. UAZ Hunter has beaten the previous record of 23 people fitting into Kia Spectra and was featured in The Guinness Book of Records .
The original version uses a 2.45-liter four-cylinder engine. From 2010 until 2013 it had a 2.7 L (2,693 cc) engine producing 112 hp (82 kW).
2,450 cc petrol, in-line 4-cylinder, water cooled, 75 hp (55 kW) at 4,000 rpm, 166.7 N⋅m (123.0 lb⋅ft) at 2,200 rpm
