Where, on bumps, the UAZ throws passengers hard from side to side, the ISUZU gently &#8220;rolls over&#8221;, demonstrating even some kind of feline grace.<\/p>\n<p>This is easily explained by the presence of front independent suspension on ISUZU and a longer base.<\/p>\n<p>But UAZ warms up faster. During the time that the ISUZU diesel engine starts to give heat, &#8220;summer&#8221; will come in the UAZ cabin for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Cars drive confidently along the highway, unless you have to &#8220;<a href=\"\/recomendet-kiwitaxi-product\" class=\"sds-arl\">taxi<\/a>&#8221; more on the UAZ, but here it can all be a matter of habit ()<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8221; on ISUZU should be a little faster than on UAZ, but they feel exactly the same. Maybe due to the fact that the test ISUZU D-Max has not had time to run in yet.<\/p>\n<h2>Off-road<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The first attempt to<\/strong> &#8220;compare&#8221; cars off the road &#8220;failed&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-161899-624e265851fc3.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-161899-624e265851fc3.webp\" alt=\"Incomparable test drive UAZ and ISUZU\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since the pickup was shod in road, summer tires, it did not drive through the snow. Any slide was an insurmountable obstacle.<br \/>\nAnd UAZ, on the contrary, was driving very confidently on its winter tires, even without turning on the forced lock, only at the expense of electronic assistants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-161899-624e265af2b63.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-161899-624e265af2b63.webp\" alt=\"Incomparable test drive UAZ and ISUZU\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was not possible to see how the electronics on ISUZU will redistribute the torque. The pickup truck was helplessly squatting on the &#8220;diagonal&#8221; and did not go. Why is unclear.<\/p>\n<p>So the first round went to UAZ.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The second<\/strong> comparison attempt turned out already on the most off-road test drive. There were two changes at once: the pickup was changed into more muddy Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires and the weather completely switched to spring mode.

A pickup truck often fell into a rut and &#8220;sat down&#8221; on the rapids.<br \/>\nIn general, in the second round it turned out to be a draw.<\/p>\n<p>But unlike the UAZ, ISUZU was financially damaged &#8211; numerous plastic plugs, linings, could not withstand contact with the track and fell out. Which greatly darkened the mood of a financially responsible person?<\/p>\n<p>But ISUZU did not need a downshift at all. Due to the high-torque diesel engine, due to the moment of 430 Nm, he drove like a tractor!
