Electric UAZ goes on sale for 40 thousand euros

The electric vehicle UAZ is named the MWM Hunter EV. As you might guess, the foundation of this unusual electric SUV is the UAZ Hunter (the same UAZ-469, but modernized). However, the Czechs believe that the retro design is all advantages, especially when combined with a modern and environmentally friendly powertrain.

Of course, it’s still a 4X4, but the old 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine had about 135 horsepower and could accelerate the Hunter to a maximum speed of 128 km/h. The Czechs have installed a more efficient electric motor with 161 hp, which allows acceleration up to a maximum speed of 155 km/h.

The MWM Hunter EV is available with a 56 kW or 90 kW battery. In the latter case, the range of the electric UAZ on a single charge can reach 240 kilometers. The price – from 39,900 euros!

It should be noted that in November 2021, Americans placed hundreds of pre-orders for UAZ following its debut in the USA. This refers to the UAZ Patriot, exclusively imported by the California firm Bremach Inc.
