The Esteo V27 hybrid crossover will be launched in Russia in 2026.

In 2026, a new hybrid crossover, the Esteo V27, will appear on the Russian market. Its production will be adjusted at one of the automobile plants of the AGR holding. This is stated in the company's message, which was received by Izvestia on June 26.

It is stated that the V27 will be the first-born of the new line of premium technology-based Esteo V-series SUVs. The novelty has a sequential hybrid powertrain (REEV) and a "square" body design with a massive grille and round headlights, a short front overhang, a long hood and an elongated profile. Technical specifications, dates of the start of sales and prices have not yet been disclosed.

The look of the Esteo V27 repeats the iCaur V27 model, which entered the Chinese market in the spring of this year and was officially announced for Russia. The iCaur V27 has a gasoline internal combustion engine that acts as a generator and power reserve booster, while the electric unit is responsible for movement. The total power of the system is 455 hp.

Esteo is a new premium car brand introduced to the Russian market as part of a partnership between the domestic AGR holding company and the Chinese Defetoo company in April 2026. The companies also founded the brands Tenet, Tenet Plus and Jeland.
