Until now, the issue with the plant of the South Korean brand Hyundai, which is located in St. Petersburg, remains unclear. It is noteworthy that the company cannot decide what to do with it. There is a possibility that it will be handed over to US. This is supported by the fact that Kia is planning to open a new plant in Kazakhstan. What was reported just the other day. If the Hyundai enterprise passes into the possession of NAMI, then we can confidently talk about the appearance on the market of a new brand known in Soviet times.
The assortment of the revived brand, most likely, at the initial stage will be created on the basis of Chinese cars. At the same time, the Russian market needs budget options, which may well be the new ZIS-5 Corsair 2024 crossover, presented in the renders by the designer of the Naavtotrasse.ru portal. Despite its budget price tag, the model will be able to offer a good set of options.
The prototype of the crossover, as conceived by the author of the renderings, will be the Zotye T600, which, by the way, was sold earlier in Russia. True, he could not get a foothold. However, it may return to the market, but under different nameplates. At the same time, in this performance, he has more chances to become in demand. There is an explanation for this – the car will receive good equipment, but keep the price tag at an affordable level. In particular, its cost is expected at the level of 1.3 million rubles.
Under the hood of the ZIS-5 Corsair 2024 there will be a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. Its power will not exceed 150 horsepower. With it, a manual transmission or a “robot” will be installed in a pair. In this case, the motor has the ability to use gas as fuel. As for the premiere of the model, it will take place no earlier than next year.
