While the Iranian Saipa launched an official website in Russia, which was preparing to enter the domestic market, AVTOVAZ introduced dealers for its new model, the crossover X-Cross
While the Iranian Saipa launched an official website in Russia, which was preparing to enter the domestic market, AVTOVAZ introduced dealers for its new model, the crossover X-Cross 5. – was rejected. And more about this and other main events of the outgoing week – in the video summary of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Perhaps the most important automotive news in recent days was the presentation of the X-Cross 5 crossover, a slightly modified FAW Bestune T77. It will be installed on the conveyor belt of the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg, now owned by AVTOVAZ, and will be sold under the LADA brand. But judging by the photos from the dealer conference, the Russified SUV is almost no different from the original.
Yes, another “domestic” model based on the “Chinese”. Although our own production is developing slowly, and the news of testing a full Russian ABS system is proof of this. The tests were conducted in a closed area in Yakutia – on LADA Granta and Niva cars. And the developer of the system is the company Itelma, a fairly well-known manufacturer of auto parts.
However, serial samples are still a long way off. And for a purely Russian car – and even more so. So for now, all hopes are pinned on the Chinese and Iranians, who are actively preparing to enter our market. Recently, Best Motors, Saipa’s distributor in Russia, launched an official website. But there is nothing particularly interesting or unexpected – just the technical characteristics of the three models.
The outgoing week will also be remembered for the abundance of “driver” bills, which were considered by the State Duma deputies. So they rejected the seven-year-old initiative to introduce a “dot” method of depriving “rights” – when a “scab” is withdrawn for a systematic violation of traffic rules. But on the other hand, they almost unanimously and immediately in two readings passed a bill that, among other things, prohibits army evaders from driving a car.
In addition, the deputies proposed canceling the evacuation of the car to the impound for driving without documents. The initiators explained that the lack of a registration certificate has no effect on road safety and that this disastrous measure is therefore not necessary. Exceptions are only those cases when the car is registered as stolen or there are no documents for it in principle. But be happy…
And in more detail about the main events in the automotive life of the country in recent days – with all the details and the most honest comments – in the video review of the AvtoVzglyad portal, which you can watch Here.
