Max instead of Plus

Changan concern announced the start of sales on the Russian market of the new generation of the small crossover CS35. If previously the model was known as Plus, then with the change of generation it changed its name to Max.

Under the hood of the new product there is a 147-horsepower turbo engine with a volume of 1.5 liters, working in conjunction with a 7-range robotic transmission.

Standard equipment includes a 7.0-inch virtual instrument cluster, multimedia with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, an audio system with 4 speakers, a small 4.0-inch screen to the left of the instrument panel, a rearview camera, heated front seats and steering wheel. All this is estimated at 2,599,900 rubles.

More expensive versions are entitled to displays enlarged to 12.3 inches (excluding the auxiliary one), Sony acoustics with 6 speakers, all-round cameras with the “transparent chassis” function, heated rear seats, a built-in video recorder, a panoramic roof and advanced driver assistants.

Monochrome

Sales of the updated T2 SUV have begun at Jetour brand dealerships. Buyers are offered the car in three trim levels priced from 3,699,000 rubles.

All changes are limited to cosmetic improvements. One of the most noticeable is the disappearance of the bright green decor from the roof rails, decorative elements on the front bumper and wheel rims. In addition, the logo illumination on the radiator grille has been changed, slightly different handles on the hood and the shape of the trunk lid hinge covers have appeared.

In the interior, some elements, for example, the seats, steering wheel and central armrest, are now not gray-black, but a richer black shade. The plastic factor on the key has changed.

The technical characteristics of the model have not changed. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter engine with 245 hp, a 7-speed robotic gearbox and all-wheel drive.

Hybrid

Sales of the new flagship crossover GAC S7 will start in Russia in March 2026, priced from 5,249,000 rubles (taking into account various promotions). By the way, pre-orders are already being accepted.

The car will be equipped with a sequential petrol-electric powertrain, which is the most tax-efficient option in Russia, allowing for savings. The petrol engine is not connected to the wheels and only works to charge the battery, while the new model will be powered by a pair of electric motors with a total output of 340 hp.

Buyers will be able to choose from eight body colour options, including matte shades, as well as three interior design options.

Powertrain

Geely has announced the imminent start of sales in Russia of the front-wheel drive version of the popular Atlas SUV. Prices for the model will start from 3,449,990 rubles.

The equipment of the new product includes fully LED optics, a 10.25-inch virtual instrument panel, a media system with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, an audio system with 6 speakers, dual-zone climate control, all-round cameras, adaptive cruise control with road sign recognition, heated seats and a steering wheel.

Redesign

The Omoda company announced the imminent appearance in Russia of the new coupe-like crossover C5. The model will premiere soon.

The car will have a radically changed appearance and will become similar to the flagship C7: it can be distinguished by a closed bumper without a traditional radiator grille, but with a large air intake at the bottom, as well as modernized lighting technology and a new wheel design.

The interior will feature an asymmetrical center console focused on the driver. Its central element will be a 15.6-inch touchscreen display of the media system with the ability to personalize – like a smartphone. Also here there are all-round cameras with the “transparent chassis” function, that is, the front camera records and transmits to the central screen what is happening under the bottom, an extended list of driver assistants and ergonomic seats with heating and ventilation.
