The '''UAZ SGR''' are a family of compact {{wipe|Russia}}n [[Engineering:Cab over|cab over engine]] [[Engineering:Van|van]]s and light trucks with standard [[Engineering:Four-wheel drive|four-wheel drive]], [[Engineering:Off-road vehicle|off-road capability]], built by the [[Company:UAZ|Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant]] (UAZ) since 1965. The vans got their nickname "''Bukhanka''" due to their outer resemblance to a loaf of bread – except the ambulance version, which gets called a "''Tabletka''" (''Таблетка''), or 'pill' in Russian.

Since 1985, the vans received updates: more modern engines and internationally compliant lighting, as well as new model numbers, '''3741''' for the standard van, while (crew-cab) trucks mostly starting with '''3303''', often with one or two extra digits specifying the version. From 1997, bigger '''33036''' truck variants with a 25&nbsp;cm (10&nbsp;in) longer wheelbase, and taller soft-top roof bows and drop-sides were added.

==Overview==
[[File:UAZ 452 front q.jpg|right|thumb| UAZ-3741 left front]]right|thumb| UAZ-3741 rear[[File:UAZ-452.jpg|right|thumb|UAZ-39625 right side]]
The model's predecessor, the UAZ-450 (produced between 1958 and 1966), was based on the chassis and engine of the four-wheel drive light truck [[Engineering:GAZ-69|GAZ-69]], and was the first [[Engineering:Cab over|"forward control"]] vehicle of this type to be built in Russia or anywhere else in the [[Place:Soviet Union|Soviet Union]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.uazbuka.ru/models/gal450.htm|title=Уазбука. Галерея автомобилей УАЗ-450}}</ref> The -450 was lightly revised and simplified, resulting in the -452.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-02-05|title=Russian UAZ just came up with the toughest overlander van|url=https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/russian-uaz-came-up-with-toughest-overlander-van/|access-date=2020-10-26|website=Hagerty Media|language=en-US}}</ref> Because of the external similarities to a loaf of bread, the van became known as ''Буханка'' (''bukhanka'', or 'loaf' in [[Social:Russian language|Russian]]). The ambulance version was nicknamed ''Таблетка'' (''tabletka'', a pill). The van is produced in several modifications, with the main difference being the body type (e.g. UAZ-3741 van (known as ''bukhanka''), or the UAZ-3303 [[Engineering:Pickup truck|pickup truck]], which is known as ''golovastik'', [[Biology:Tadpole|tadpole]]).{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

The body of the van is normally equipped with two front doors, a single-wing door on the right side and a double-wing door at the rear, although the exact configuration can vary depending on the specific modification. Notable in the van are the fuel ports on the left and the right side of the van, leading to two separate fuel tanks.<ref>http://uaz.rustina.cz/LITERATURA/KATALOG_NAHRADNICH_DILU_3741.pdf Parts Catalogue p. 53</ref>
  
The engine, placed between  the driver and the passenger seats, was the same {{convert|75|hp|kW PS|lk=on|abbr=on}} {{convert|2,445|cc|cid|abbr=on}} UMZ 452MI inline four as the [[Engineering:UAZ-469|UAZ-469]], and was able to run on gasoline of as low as 72 [[Chemistry:Octane|octane]] (76 was preferred).<ref>Thompson, Andy. ''Cars of the Soviet Union'' (Haynes Publishing, Somerset, UK, 2008), p.178.</ref>

==History==
Vehicles produced between 1965&ndash;1979 were equipped with old-style lights: turn signal lights were colorless (white), rear lights were round, and the back of the body was rounder. Subsequent post-1979 models got amber (yellow) signal lights, and rear lights were slightly bigger and rectangular.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

In 1985 the van was upgraded and spun off into separate submodels: 39625, 3962, 3303, 3909 and 2206. The upgrade consisted of lighting fixtures that met modern international requirements, alarms, a new instrument panel, and a new speedometer. The brakes were redesigned. The engine was also upgraded, and its power output increased to 99&nbsp;hp against the previous 78&nbsp;hp.

In the early 2000s, the model was given new plastic side mirrors taken from the [[Company:GAZ|GAZ]] [[Engineering:GAZelle|GAZelle]] van, headrests on front seats; and new passenger seats for a minibus version (''2206'') were also given headrests. The pickup truck (version 3303) was fitted with a metal body instead of a wooden one.

In subsequent years, the engine was upgraded to meet modern emissions requirements, and the van was also fitted with an injury-reducing plastic steering wheel.

In March 2011, models 39625, 3962, and 2206 received upgrades, consisting of ABS brakes, power steering, seat belts and the Euro-4 engine as standard equipment.

==Models==

===Former===
UAZ-452 variants:
* UAZ-452 – van, the main version
* UAZ-452A – ambulance, aka "санитарка" (Sanitarka - the medic lady), popularly nicknamed the "таблетка" (tabletka - "tablet" or "pill"). The van could seat up to 4 stretchers or 6 on the benches and one accompanying both. The vehicle was not comfortable for people on the move, as suspension in the submodel remained that of the standard model, but this van was, and in many places is still the only ambulance vehicle that can reach some of the most remote places.<ref name="DeAgostini">''Де Агостини'' Автолегенды СССР [http://www.cars.deagostini.ru/] (Avtolegendy USSR).

** UAZ-452AS – ambulance for Arctic areas
* UAZ-452AE – [[Engineering:Chassis cab|chassis cab]] for installation of various equipment
