The lineup of the newly minted Russian brand Evolute – the same one that attaches wheels to Chinese electric trains in Lipetsk – will soon be supplemented by two crossovers: i-Jet and i-Sky. The Moscow premiere of the latter was supposed to take place on February 15, but it was canceled – the cars got stuck at customs, where they were caught by “photo spies”.

Photos of Evolute i-Sky crossovers loaded on a car transporter were published by our colleagues from Chinese Automobiles. In fact, this footage is the first confirmation that the Dongfeng Forthing Thunder will join the Evolute lineup. After all, before the representatives of the company did not disclose the name of the “heavenly original”, but only indicated its characteristics: segment – SUV C +, wheelbase – 2750 mm, range – 600 km.

So, Dongfeng Forthing Thunder. In terms of dimensions, the crossover is comparable to models such as the Toyota RAV4: it is 4600 mm long, 1860 mm wide and 1680 mm high. The novelty is powered by an electric motor (yes, one on the front axle) with a capacity of 204 hp. Of. and 340 Nm of torque. Acceleration to the first hundred – 7.9 seconds, top speed – 180 km. As for the range, it is 430 or 630 km, depending on the version.

In China, Dongfeng Forthing Thunder was first presented to the public before the New Year, and the full premiere is scheduled for March. There is no information about the car for Russia – that is, about the Evolute i-Sky – so far there are no technical specifications, no sales start date, no prices, of course.

But since Evolute dealers ask for 3.5 million rubles for a simple and compact i-Joy (without discounts for state programs), we can assume that the price of i-Sky will hardly fall below 4 million.
