Ivan Mironov, General Director of the "St. Petersburg Automobile Plant," announced the suspension of the production of XCite crossovers. Production was established at the former Nissan plant in 2024, but currently, the company has a stock of 3,500 finished cars, which will continue to be sold through Lada dealerships.
XCite became the result of a partnership with Chinese Chery: the first model, X-Cross 7, was created based on the Tiggo 7 Pro, followed by the flagship X-Cross 8. Currently, the mid-size crossover is offered from 2.2 million rubles, the flagship from 2.5 million.
According to Mironov, production has been suspended due to a drop in demand in the market, but the project is not closed. If the economic situation improves, the production of XCite may resume.
We have maintained relations with our partner, and there is a signed license agreement. The market will dictate further steps. If there is growth, I do not rule out ordering an additional batch
All warranty obligations to car owners are fulfilled through the Lada dealer network.
