Evolve company to update i-Sky crossover in Russia

The Russian company Evolve, whose hybrids and electric cars are manufactured at the Lipetsk plant, plans to introduce the updated i-Sky crossover to the market this year. This was reported on February 2 by the Autostat agency with reference to the brand's press service.

Details of the update of the Evolve i-Sky are not specified. The company noted that another novelty of 2026 was the Evolute i-Space crossover in an all-wheel drive version, which became available for purchase from dealers in mid-January.

The Evolute i-Sky has been on sale in Russia since 2023. In October 2025, a new version of the model called the City Edition entered the market, which features a lower-capacity battery and a lower price.

So, in the "urban" modification, the i-Sky has become 30 kg lighter thanks to the installation of a new-generation LFP traction battery. Its capacity is 64.4 kWh. The power reserve for the WLTP cycle is 400 km, and the maximum speed is 180 km/h. The usual i-Sky is equipped with a Li-NMC battery with a capacity of 85.9 kWh, which has enough charge for 511 km. At the same time, the traction battery of the City Edition version charges faster — from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes versus 45 minutes.

Earlier that day, it was reported that sales of the Jetour T2 crossover in an updated design had started in Russia. The changes affected the design of individual exterior and interior elements. The model is still offered with a two-liter turbo engine (245 hp; 375 Nm) paired with a seven-speed robot or an eight-speed automatic and an all-wheel drive system.
