The car park of the St. Petersburg parliament has been replenished with 10 Xcite X-Cross 7 crossovers. The cars are produced in the northern capital. Officials had been waiting for the new cars since the summer, according to the Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the city, Alexander Belsky.

Officials use official Toyota Camry cars. Apparently, the crossovers were purchased to replace the Japanese sedans.

Initially, the cars were expected to arrive in the car park in April last year, but the deadlines were repeatedly postponed. The contract for the supply of new cars was concluded on the second attempt in the fall. One crossover cost 2.5 million rubles.

Xcite X-Cross 7 is a Сhery Tiggo 7. The car is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a capacity of 147 horsepower and an automatic transmission. The cars are sold through the Lada dealer network.
