Exlantix car sales will begin in Russia in April

"In April, sales of two models will begin — the all-electric sedan ES and the hybrid crossover ET. Cars are being imported to Russia, and there are no plans to assemble them in the country yet. This year, it is planned to launch an ES with a hybrid system and an electric ET," Komarova said.

The ET crossover is equipped with a series-hybrid powerplant, which consists of a 1.5-liter turbo engine and two electric motors. The total power is 469 hp (730 Nm). It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.

The electric ET sedan has a twin-engine all-wheel drive system that develops 480 hp (660 Nm) and allows you to accelerate to "hundreds" in 3.7 seconds.

On February 12, it was reported that Exlantix continues adaptation and resource testing of the new ET crossover before entering the Russian market. So, on all versions of ET, which will be presented in the Russian Federation, an all-wheel drive system and an air suspension with a system for adapting the stiffness of shock absorbers are provided.

Before that, on January 10, it was reported that the production of Exlantix ET crossovers has started in China, the first batch of export vehicles has rolled off the assembly line. The version for the Russian market differs in the design of the radiator grille. The cars will also receive a winter package, including a battery heating system, as well as heated windshields, steering wheels, and washer nozzles.
