Sales of the Belarusian-assembled Belgee X50+ crossover have started in Russia. The model is offered in three trim levels priced from 2,319,990 to 2,675,990 rubles.
The main change is under the hood. Instead of the previous three-cylinder unit, there is now a four-cylinder turbo engine producing 147 horsepower. The engine is paired with a seven-speed robotic transmission and front-wheel drive. This combination should provide smoother operation and better dynamics compared with its predecessor.
Even in the base version, the crossover does not look bare: single-zone climate control, cruise control, an 8.8-inch digital instrument panel, multimedia with an 8-inch touchscreen, and six speakers — all of this is included as standard. The Style version adds a flagship media system with a 14.6-inch Full HD display. The interface works faster, and the settings can be flexibly customized.
The top Prestige trim expands comfort with wireless charging, multicolor door lighting, tinted transparent sun visors, six-way power adjustment for the driver's seat, and a power tailgate. This version is the one that gets the full set of Level 2 electronic assistants — such systems were previously not offered on the brand's models.
Active safety systems include intelligent cruise control, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian recognition, blind-spot monitoring, rear collision warning, reverse assist, lane keeping, and emergency lane return. In addition, the vehicle reads speed limit signs and automatically switches the high beams.
The model is adapted to Russian winters. The basic "winter package" includes a heated steering wheel, front and rear heated seats, as well as heating for the windshield wiper rest area and washer nozzles. In the top version, this is supplemented by an electrically heated windshield and a rain sensor.
