The Kaliningrad plant produced the first hybrid crossovers, which were previously supplied to Russia only in finished form. Local assembly will increase production volumes and make cars more accessible to customers.

Hybrid crossovers with two electric motors with a total capacity of 476 hp were the first to enter the assembly line. The gasoline engine in them is used only to generate electricity, and electric motors provide movement. The power reserve in hybrid mode reaches 1,115 km.

Sales of Russian-built cars will begin in September, and in the fall the company plans to launch production of another, more expensive version of the model.
