What type of vehicle is the UAZ in PUBG?

The UAZ in PUBG is an off-road vehicle.

The UAZ is a four-wheel-drive utility vehicle based on the Soviet UAZ-469, a rugged military design later known as the UAZ-3151. In PUBG, it is especially associated with Erangel, where it can carry a squad across rough ground and provide useful protection from incoming fire.

Players commonly confuse the UAZ with a sedan because both are four-wheeled land vehicles. PUBG classifies vehicles into groups such as off-road vehicles, sedans, buses, motorcycles and boats; the UAZ belongs to the off-road group. Its strong traction makes it more dependable on hills and uneven terrain than many road-focused cars, although it is still noisy and easy for opponents to spot.

The game has used several UAZ variants, including open-top, soft-top and hard-top versions. An armored UAZ also appears in special circumstances, but that variant does not change the standard vehicle’s basic classification.
