Sales of Normax cars with Renault-Nissan engines to start in Russia

In the near future, a new domestic brand, Normax, will appear on the Russian car market. As it became known from the Telegram channel "Trucks and in general", light commercial vehicles Dongfeng with a cab-over design will be sold under this brand. These cars, of course, are not a product of their own design. The first model will be a renamed Dongfeng K33 all-metal van.

The main competitor of Normax K33 on the Russian market will undoubtedly be GAZelle NEXT. However, the cab-over layout of the new product may attract buyers who appreciate maneuverability and visibility in dense urban traffic. In addition, the imported origin may play a role in the eyes of those looking for an alternative to domestic cars.

It is not yet known how the service support and supply of spare parts for Normax cars will be organized. This factor will be one of the key factors when making a purchase decision for many potential customers. The pricing policy of the new brand will also be an important aspect. The success of the brand in the Russian market will depend on how competitive the prices for the K33 van will be compared to the analogues on the market.

The van is capable of carrying up to 910 kg of cargo. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter Renault-Nissan turbodiesel engine producing 143 horsepower. It works in conjunction with a 6-speed manual transmission. The van comes with a warranty of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. The standard equipment includes airbags, rear parking sensors, air conditioning and cruise control. Information on prices has not yet been disclosed, but you can apply for the purchase of this vehicle on the official website.
