The Russian Tenet T7 crossover has received all-wheel drive

The Tenet T7 crossover, which is manufactured at the Kaluga AGR Holding plant, has become available with an all-wheel drive system. This is stated in the message of Tenet Rus, which was received by Izvestia on October 29.

Previously, the Tenet T7 was offered only in two single-drive trim levels, Active and Prime (2.68 million and 2.88 million rubles, respectively), now the Prime all-wheel drive version has appeared in the range for 3.08 million rubles.

The powertrain with the introduction of all-wheel drive has not changed, a 1.6-liter 150 hp engine is installed under the hood in combination with a seven-speed robotic transmission. Fuel consumption averages 7 liters per 100 km, and acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes 9.8 seconds. The maximum speed is 192 km/h.

The Tenet T7 all-wheel drive is equipped with 19-inch discs with red brake calipers, a full-size spare wheel, and a digital panel with two 12.3-inch screens. There are electric seat adjustments, dual-zone climate control and a full "winter" package, a contactless trunk opening function and wireless charging for a smartphone, a 540° all-round viewing system, six airbags and other options.

The Tenet model range is based on Chery, and the T4 (rebranded Tiggo 4), T7 (Tiggo 7L) and T8 (Tiggo 8 Plus) crossovers are produced in Russia under this brand. They have been produced since August at the former Volkswagen plant in the Kaluga region.

The balance of power: how has the popular crossover in Russia changed?
