In Omsk, a 2006 Derways Land Crown has been put up for sale – a rare SUV of Circassian assembly, produced in a limited run of only a few dozen units. The car replicates the appearance of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 90-series, but combines a Chinese base with a Japanese engine and a chassis design related to Nissan models.
The Derways Land Crown was produced in 2006–2007 at the Derways factory in Cherkessk. It was based on the Chinese Xinkai HXK 2031E, which, in turn, was a copy of the old Prado's design. According to available data, the Russian enterprise assembled about 30 such vehicles. This makes the model significantly rarer than the mass-produced SUVs with which it might be confused by appearance.
Under the hood is a Nissan VG30E (V6 3000) gasoline engine with a volume of 3.0 liters and a power of 160 hp. It works in conjunction with a manual gearbox. However, the chassis design is not Toyota-oriented: the suspension uses solutions characteristic of previous Nissan Pathfinder and Terrano models.
The 2006 model offered for sale is priced at 800,000 rubles. The Land Crown is primarily interesting for its combination of components from different manufacturers and its small production run: externally, it resembles a Japanese SUV, technically it relies on a Chinese model, and its key units are related to Nissan.
