PUBG Mobile Map Vehicles: UAZ, Van, Pickup, Rony, and Mirado

UAZ, Van, Pickup, Rony, and Mirado represent different PUBG Mobile driving styles: protected squad transport, slow mobile cover, rough-terrain utility, exposed team travel, and fast road rotation. They are strongly associated with particular maps, but updates and themed modes can change availability. Use the live map and current patch notes instead of assuming an older vehicle is still exclusive.

UAZ: dependable squad transport

The UAZ is closely associated with Erangel. Its enclosed variants can carry a squad and provide more protection than an exposed motorcycle or Buggy, making it a practical option for long rotations and bridge approaches.

Best use: move four players together, park with the body between the squad and a likely firing angle, and avoid steep jumps that can roll the vehicle. A UAZ is durable cover only while it is not badly damaged.

Armored flare vehicles: the old image is historical

This screenshot shows the armored UAZ that early versions could deliver after a Flare Gun call. It is no longer the current reference: PUBG Mobile 0.15.0 replaced the armored UAZ with the amphibious BRDM-2, and later updates continued changing the flare-summoned vehicle.

Always check the current event and map rules before firing a flare. A vehicle call can reveal the area to other squads, and delivery conditions may differ from an airdrop. The PUBG Mobile Flare Gun guide explains the basic risk.

For the historical replacement record, see the official PUBG Mobile 0.15.0 patch notes.

Van: slow Miramar cover

Miramar's Van trades speed and climbing performance for a large body and multiple seats. It works best on flatter roads and as temporary cover after a controlled stop.

Best use: transport a team along paved routes, stop on the protected side of a ridge or building, and abandon it early if the circle requires steep off-road travel. Its size makes it easy to see and hit.

Pickup: practical Miramar utility

The Pickup is a flexible Miramar option for roads and moderate off-road routes. Open seating exposes some passengers, so the driver should use terrain rather than crossing every ridge in a straight line.

Best use: move a squad through rolling terrain, keep speed before a climb, and let exposed passengers dismount behind cover rather than beside an enemy compound.

Rony: Sanhok team transport

The Rony is a Sanhok pickup-style vehicle with room for a team, but rear passengers remain exposed. Sanhok's short distances and dense cover mean the engine can attract nearby opponents before the saved travel time matters.

Best use: cross a large zone shift, disengage from a losing fight, or move between distant edges. Stop outside the destination and approach on foot. Do not drive through the center of an occupied landmark unless the alternative is worse.

Mirado: fast on Miramar roads

The Mirado is a fast road vehicle that suits Miramar's long paved routes. Its low body and road-focused handling make it less forgiving on rocks, steep slopes, and sudden drops.

Best use: cover a long road distance quickly, then slow before towns and blind crests. Choose a Pickup or Buggy instead when the planned route is mostly rough terrain.

Choose by situation

Vehicle rules that apply on every map

• Check fuel, visible damage, seat count, and the next circle before leaving.
• Park with an exit route and dismount on the protected side.
• Never revive or heal beside a smoking vehicle.
• Use smoke before crossing away from a disabled vehicle.
• Do not treat an old parked vehicle as a guaranteed fresh spawn; it may be bait.

For route planning beyond these iconic models, use the broader PUBG Mobile vehicle guide for each map. Vehicle names matter less than matching capacity, terrain, cover, and noise to the rotation in front of you.
