9 most passable SUVs from the USSR

The auto industry of the USSR still amazes with its development and diversity. One of the interesting categories was and remains Soviet off-road vehicles. There are some favorites among them, and we consider it necessary to recall them. For example, did you know that the seemingly nondescript LuAZ 969-M is the leader among SUVs from the USSR? This passenger-and-freight minicar became the first mass-produced Soviet car designed for the needs of rural residents of the Union. Extremely simple on the verge of ascetic interior, but moderately large body with a reinforced frame and awning. All-wheel drive, high overhang in front, lightness and downshift were responsible for cross-country ability.

It is impossible not to mention the famous UAZ-469 in such a rating. Originally created for military purposes car quickly went into the masses. It was used to transport people, cargo and tow trailers on all types of surfaces, including the worst. It was helped in this by a two-speed transfer case, a plug-in all-wheel drive, and a ground clearance of 300 mm. The cross-country ability was so good that people joked that if the UAZ-469 got stuck, then only a tracked vehicle would pass through this area. tractor.
