In the former Toyota factory they decided to start production of new Aurus models

Some time ago, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that the luxury domestic brand Aurus would also release some “budget” sedans. Their performance is scheduled for 2025 and now it has suddenly become known where they will most likely be produced.

As the Telegram channel Russian Automobile discovered, the new mass segment Aurus will most likely be assembled at the former Toyota plant in St. Petersburg. The director of the Shushary car company, which took over the plant after the brand left our country, was the head of Aurus Motors, Andrei Pankov, who previously headed the Russian offices of Renault and Mitsubishi. In the meantime, many vacancies for employees of the Toyota plant in Shushary have already appeared on the Internet, but they have all been posted – surprise! – on behalf of the Aurus brand.

— We plan to launch a range of S-class cars in the near future. We expect this to happen as early as 2025, when the first sales of these cars will take place. There is both an S-class and an E-class. And in general for a wide range of consumers who previously bought Western brands. “I think it will be interesting and prestigious to buy the Aurus brands of the next line,” Manturov promised in an interview with TASS.

In terms of the current Aurus model range, 115 new cars were sold in 2023 – four times more than the previous year.
