To date, we are practically approaching 10,000 assembled vehicles. They are in various stages of readiness. We will reach this figure by July 1.
Sales of the XCITE X-Cross 7 model in Russia started on May 27. Around 300 units have been purchased since then.
According to Mironov, "Avtozavod St. Petersburg" will release a new XCITE model in the fall. The company's employees are working on an all-wheel-drive crossover.
Production at the former Nissan site, together with foreign partners, began in November 2023. Cars began to be produced under the XCITE brand in January 2024.
