First of all, let’s be happy with AvtoVAZ, which came under the jurisdiction of the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg. It is here that the Volga residents are preparing to start assembling at once two of the latest models, which will be crossovers that play in the C and D segments. Unfortunately, there are no details about them yet. All that is known is that the Chinese, with whom negotiations are now in a final stage, will provide assistance in the construction of cars to the VAZ workers. However, this is not all the news of the LADA brand. For example, AVTOVAZ plans to launch another crossover of the B + segment based on the architecture of the flagship Vesta on the main assembly line in Togliatti. And the steam locomotive product line of the domestic automotive industry will be supplemented with a new B-class sedan. In general, the Volga Automobile Plant will literally overwhelm us with its new products – saving money.
On the former metropolitan site of the disappeared house Renault, as you already know, production of two models of the revived Moskvich brand has started. We are talking about a compact crossover with an index of 3 and an electric SUV with the prefix “e”. But the brand doesn’t stop there. In the near future, the plant plans to start production of other cars made according to the patterns of the Chinese JAC. And among them are not only representatives of SUVs, but also sedans.
And near Saratov, preparations are in full swing for the assembly of a certain electric van called Alfarus. We are promised at least 2,000 cars in the initial phase. More specifically electric vehicles. And, as you might guess, Chinese too. In more detail, then converted FAW Bestune NAT, intended for use in a taxi. Besides, for the needs of carriers, including car sharing, they will be produced. This means that we will soon be able to check whether the electric van will reach the stated 420 kilometers without recharging. In winter conditions and permanent traffic jams, of course, hardly any. Although this does not take away the right to try from the model.
Known for its cooperation with the Koreans and BMW, the Kaliningrad Avtotor is not sitting still either. Experts have already started the test assembly of three mysterious cars from China. All information about new products is kept in the strictest confidence, but with a high degree of probability it can be assumed that instead of the Bavarian premium and the Asian mass market, the Russian person will be offered previously unknown “heavenly” crafts of various classes. According to some reports, among them will be a sedan and crossovers from BAIC, Chery or its Omoda sub-brand.
By the way, the products of the aforementioned Omoda also managed to light up at the Mazda assembly plant in Vladivostok, whose share in the Russian-Japanese enterprise completely departs from Sollers. It is possible that fashionable Chinese crossovers will come onto the assembly line, although neither the Ministry of Industry and Trade nor Omod itself has officially announced this. Incidentally, a delegation from Geely also visited this site, probably also with a view to the possibility of organizing production at idle facilities.
Something Chinese is also planned at the Mercedes-Benz plant near Moscow, with guts passing into ownership of the largest dealer Avtodom. Unless, of course, the new managers really end production of the Stuttgart E-class sedans. And Lipetsk Motorinvest expects the start of production of three electric cars under the Evolute brand – a pair of crossovers and a minivan based on Chinese crafts of the Dongfeng system.
