UAZ Simba

The UAZ Simba are two different UAZ designed 4×2 or 4×4 wheel drive minibus concepts with the same name created in 1999 and 2002 respectively. The production launches of these two minibuses have been cancelled. The Simba has a wheelbase of 3,000 mm (120 in) and is a combination of a 7-9-person van and an SUV. It shares many common components with UAZ-3162 SUV. Simba family prototypes were shown at the Moscow Auto Salon from 1999 to 2005, but did not reach production for financial reasons.
