Jeep's Active Drive Low (Renegade BU, Compass MP) basically stays at the first gear of the gearbox, do not be confused with Active Drive 2 (Cherokee KL) that really has two planetary gears at front and rear axles for the low range, and gives 2.92 reduction when needed. Correct me if I'm wrong.

As I know, only crossover that has a proper low range is Jeep Cherokee KL at some trim levels (Trailhawk for sure, and one another, I don't remember the name). Actually, I was surprised why Jeep does not highlight this extremely rare feature? Then, Jeep Renegade and Compass have a kind of...

1.5 NA engine gives something around 105 hp and 140-145 Nm of torque. I found also the fuel consumption figures as 15km/l (5MT, 35 mpg) - and 13 km/l (4AT, 32 mpg) from here. This is not what I ,actually, want. Since I live in Europe, I hope to get the 3-cyl 1.0L turbo with 112 hp and 170 Nm...

That rig has quite interesting suspension. When a tire hits an obstacle, air from it goes to other tires. It's the official website: http://sherp.ru/en/ with specs and a price tag $65 000. Some blogs of owners: https://www.drive2.ru/r/other/1497315/ https://www.drive2.ru/r/other/1585214/ (I'm...

http://uaz.jp/ Enjoy!

Yes, it is a sort of a holy war: people who prefer a newer "economic" SUV (UAZ, SangYong, GreatWall) vs ones who are for 15+ years old "legendary" rigs (e.g., LC, Partol, Land Rover). Of course, everyone would choose a brand-new Land Cruiser, but a budget is very limited, as usually.

Wow, I found all the answers in one place: Here is the official PDF-brochure on commercial UAZ in English!

One can find plenty of them at Drive2.ru. The web-site is in Russian, and all its functionality opens after registration, unfortunately. A funny thing is that this model is still in production with the price tag about 580000 RUB / 9000 USD (the official web-page in English). Yes, some travellers...

Great story! I'm really glad to read about my home region here, at ExPo!

I like that VAZ-GM keeps Niva capable for offroad. But: 1. Though new Chevy Niva has a solid rear axle, now McPherson suspension is in front instead of double wishbones. So lift will be very limited. 2. I don't like the modern look of almost all Chevrolets and Fords. Especially I hate their high...

Your Mitsubishi has AWD instead of the Rear Wheel Drive mode, right? Here, in Europe we have only 4L-4H-2H transfer cases for these rigs.

I also like one of the strongest competitors of that rig -- Petrovich. (here is a short thread about it) Some links: The official website (in Russian, but I very recommend to visit it for nice visualisation) http://flash.petrovichauto.ru/ or without flash http://flash.petrovichauto.ru/. The...

There is also another vehicle from that manufacturer: MYL http://avtoros.info/all-terrain_vehicle/myl 4x4, Cummins 2.8 turbo diesel 88 kW 297 Nm, 85 km/h max. 2 100 000 rub (about $58 000).

That is Shaman, a Russian vehicle made by AVTOROS http://avtoros.info/en/all-terrain_vehicle/shaman. Some specs: Iveco turbo diesel 146 hp, transfer case with high and low ranges, Low-pressure tires are AVTOROS 1240 x 580 mm or 1185 x 590 mm. 80 km/h on road or 7 km/h on water, 20 L/100 km...

Hi, I'm from Murmansk (ok, now I'm in Finland but anyway). Feel free to ask about that region.

Briefly about russian off-road trucks in production. GAZ Gazelle/Sobol Very popular commercial truck and bus. Since 1994, the present generation was released in 2013. Engines: diesel 2.8L 120 hp or gasoline 2.9L 115 hp. Body on frame, full-time 4WD, low-gear row. Front and rear rigid axles...

I can post more info and photos. About what car do you want to read?

About LuAZ: Yes, it is very interesting vehicle, but 1. the manufacture had been closed many years ago; 2. This car is from Ukraine (actually it does not matter).
