A new seven-seater crossover Tenet T8 has appeared on the Russian market. It has already begun to arrive at dealers. Olga Antyushina, Director of the AvtoSpetsCenter Khimki Division, announced the start of shipments.
According to her, the greatest demand is expected for the Ultra configuration, due to the wide range of options. The price difference between the configurations is 250 thousand rubles. Antyushina noted that many buyers are willing to overpay a little for a more equipped version.
She believes that Tenet T8 will take third place in the Tenet brand's model line. Its main competitors will be Geely Atlas, Haval F7/F7x and Changan CS75. However, according to Antyushina, the T8 stands out from its competitors with its rich equipment and modern multimedia capabilities.
The crossover has a 7-seater interior, and Russian assembly (assembled in Kaluga) and an attractive price may lure those who are considering buying Geely Atlas and Haval F7/F7x, Antyushina believes.
Tenet T8 went on sale on September 2 in two trim levels: Prime and Ultra, which cost 3,540,000 and 3,790,000 rubles, respectively. Both variants are equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline turbo engine with a capacity of 197 hp, which works in tandem with a seven-speed preselective "robot" and all-wheel drive.
The i-4WD all-wheel drive system with intelligent control provides optimal torque distribution between the front and rear wheels, which improves handling and reduces fuel consumption. It supports six driving modes: "Eco", "Standard", "Sport", "Snow", "Mud" and "4×4".
The Tenet T8 crossover in the Prime configuration has many options, including a black and gray interior with a light gray headliner, acoustic front windows, electric adjustments and heated front seats, a full "winter" package, 18-inch aluminum wheels, LED daytime running lights and rear lights.
The standard equipment includes atmospheric interior lighting, a panoramic roof with a sunroof, a 540° panoramic view system, parking sensors, a tire pressure monitoring system, six airbags, cruise control and keyless entry. The crossover is equipped with a remote engine start system, dual-zone climate control and modern multimedia systems with a 15.6-inch touch screen.
