In October 2011, UAZ announced the release of a limited edition SUV in honour of the 70th anniversary of the plant.

In May 2012, the plant built a restyled model of the UAZ Patriot with a different dashboard, which no longer had a handle for the front passenger.

It had a new, safer four-spoke steering wheel from the Japanese Company Takata-Petri, 2DIN media player and a USB-connector for flash drives.

In August 2013, UAZ started the production of a renewed Patriot with a new transfer case Dymos featuring electronic control.
