The UAZ-469 model familiar to Vietnamese people is still produced in Russia with the high-end Hunter Trophy version priced at only 174.5 million.

Present since 1971, the Russian UAZ-469 car model has become very familiar to Vietnamese people. To this day, this car continues to be produced for civilian use in Russia with 3 different versions, of which the UAZ Hunter Trophy is the most advanced version. |
 |
With accessories such as electric winch, steel front bumper, knobby tires, enhanced lighting system and roof rack, UAZ Hunter Trophy can become a professional, durable and effective offroad vehicle comparable to other "legendary" SUVs such as Mercedes G-Class, Land Rover Defender while having a cheaper price. |
 |
Although not as "sketchy" as the old UAZ-469s that were once popular in Vietnam, the interior of the UAZ Hunter Trophy does not have modern amenities. The ceiling is only covered with cheap fabric, while the seats are covered with waterproof canvas and the floor is paved with diamond-patterned steel to prevent dirt from sticking. |
 |
In the Russian market, a basic UAZ Hunter Trophy starts at just 500,000 Rubles (equivalent to 174.5 million VND). However, if fully equipped with offroad accessories, the car can cost up to 700,000 Rubles (equivalent to 244 million VND). |
 |
Compared to other versions, the UAZ Hunter Trophy is only different in that the vehicle's gearbox is protected by a 3mm thick stamped steel plate shell and the transmission system is surrounded by 42mm diameter steel pipes to ensure safety when offroading through difficult terrain. However, the owner can also equip the vehicle with a series of professional offroad accessories. |
 |
Powering the UAZ Hunter Trophy is a 2.6-liter gasoline engine with a modest capacity of 128 horsepower and a maximum torque of 209 Nm. With a part-time 4-wheel drive system, the car can reach a maximum speed of 150 km/h despite weighing up to 1.8 tons. |
