Outside​

The exterior design of the all-wheel drive version of the Tiggo 7 Pro Max AWD differs from the regular Tiggo 7 Pro primarily in terms of the radiator grille, which has been replaced by a simpler, neat mesh with matte chrome panels. The bumper has become more angular, and the headlights have vertical stripes of LED running lights.

Also different are the illuminated roof rails, which start flashing with multi-coloured lights when the doors are unlocked. It looks quite impressive, but they turn off when moving. There is also an additional nameplate on the tailgate; that’s all the external differences.

Inside​

There are also changes in the car’s interior: the familiar architecture with two interconnected gauges and a multimedia display remains the same, but the climate control unit has been supplemented with temperature control washers and a separate monochrome display. There is now a setting for selecting off-road modes next to the gear lever.

Another useful detail is that the USB ports (in two different formats) on the lower floor of the centre console are now located on a podium facing the driver, making them easier to access.

At the helm you can sit quite comfortably thanks to the wide seat and steering column adjustments. Rear passengers are also comfortable and the car has enough leg and head room even if you are taller than average.
It was assumed that the all-wheel drive version will receive standard units from the Tiggo 8 Pro Max and a BorgWarner clutch, but the Chinese used a new scheme borrowed from the concern’s corresponding models (Exeed LX and Omoda C5).

Front-wheel drive crossovers are equipped with a 1.5-liter turbo engine with 147 hp paired with a CVT; all-wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a 150-horsepower 1.6 engine with a 7-speed “robot” and an interaxle clutch from the German company ZF.

The all-wheel drive control system has six modes: economical, comfortable, sport, snow, dirt and 4×4. When choosing the latter, the clutch is not forcibly locked, but works nervously, which allows the crossover to move uphill with a slope of 45% without any problems.

When driving off-road, the clutch does not show any signs of overheating; even prolonged slipping did not force the electronics to shut off the supply of traction to the rear wheels.
Apparently, the same engineers configured the electronics in both cases: the nature of the four-wheel drive operation depends largely on the selected driving mode, just like in the old Tiggo 8 Pro Max.

“Robot” works on the road adequately and smoothly. Especially if you do not jerk the car by pressing the gas pedal hard. Smooth use of the gas pedal helps to correctly adjust the traction force, and the exchange rate stabilization system prevents accidental overacceleration.

On the way​

Unfortunately, on the asphalt the power unit periodically causes complaints. The box often annoys with outright “floating” delays during sharp acceleration, losing dynamics for a few seconds when you already have time to change lanes or refuse to overtake.

In traffic jams, too, the “robot” sometimes behaves not in the best way: it periodically twitches at low speeds, when it seems that you are barely touching the gas pedal, but the car responds extremely quickly.
On the track, the connection between engine and gearbox works noticeably better:

here the reactions to the gas pedal become more responsive, and the dynamics are quite sufficient for acceleration with three-digit speedometer readings. Acceleration to hundreds takes 10.2 seconds.

The Apple CarPlay system (for connecting multimedia to the iPhone) works only via cable and is unstable: if you lightly touch the cable, the connection is interrupted. To return the image from the phone to the car screen, you have to insert the cable several times until it works. By the way, the music is also interrupted at this time, which is more comfortable to listen to via CarPlay.
The automatic closing of the panoramic roof curtain works strangely; as soon as you turn off the engine and get out of the car, the curtain starts to close by itself. If you want to drive with the glass roof all the time, you will have to open it again before each trip. True, this applies not only to Tiggo 7, but also to other models of the brand.

If you get out of a running car with the key in your pocket, for example, to put something in the trunk or open the door for someone, you will immediately hear six short and loud beeps from the horn.

“Moskvich is the most affordable, but its interior makes the best impression: beautiful design, good finish, good choice of textures and the richest equipment. Sunroof, all-round cameras, automatic high beams, blind spot monitoring, road sign monitoring and collision warning – competitors cannot offer all this,” the expert noted.
But the vehicle has a number of shortcomings, Timkin said, including the lack of an outside temperature display, a stuck air recirculation button and hard seats that don’t hold cargo well.
There was before that too named Four main disadvantages of the Kia Rio sedan. Among the shortcomings of the model, experts singled out the five-speed manual transmission M5CF1, which has a low bearing and gear life. By the way, leaks often occur in the six-speed M6CF1. Also, auto experts added that the Rio’s suspension is not particularly durable. Among the less significant disadvantages of the model, they noted the fact that in pre-restaging versions, when the heating was turned on, the rear-view mirrors could crack.

The government increased the amount of subsidies for conversion of vehicles to natural gas​

Government has decided to increase the amount of subsidies for business and citizens' expenses on the conversion of vehicles from traditional fuels to natural gas (methane). The resolution determines the increase in 2024 of subsidization standards for such costs by 30% in average - from the current 48% to 78% of the total cost of work, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers reports. In addition, the maximum amount of state support for the remotorization of trucks is almost tripled - from the current 4% to 12%. At the same time for citizens, representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, it is retained a double increasing coefficient. As it is noted, the decision will stimulate the conversion of transport to methane and support the demand for this type of fuel on the part of business and citizens. Changes were made to the annex to the state program "Energy Development", which contains the rules for granting subsidies to citizens, as well as small and medium-sized businesses for the conversion of cars, public transport and municipal vehicles to run on natural gas.
State Program "Energy Development" provides for an increase in the volume of natural gas consumption as a motor fuel up to 2.7 billion cubic meters by the end of 2024. At the same time, work is underway to develop the necessary infrastructure for this purpose, in particular, gas filling stations. As previously reported by AUTOSTAT, Ministry of Industry and Trade of Republic of Tatarstan, RariTEK Holding and Moskvich automobile plant signed a memorandum of cooperation. The document envisages the development of the project for production of Moskvich automobile on NGV fuel at RariTEK's production sites in Naberezhnye Chelny.
Thus, joint efforts of Moskvich plant, Gazprom Gazomotor Systems and RariTEK have developed gas-fueled versions of Moskvich 3 and Moskvich 6 cars. The installation of gas equipment and its adaptation on cars is carried out by RariTEK, a company participating in the production chain of Moskvich automobile plant.
The installation process includes installation of underhood equipment and shut-off valves manufactured by Gazprom Gazomotor Systems and cylinder equipment manufactured by Real-Storm. According to Ramil Ishmaev, Commercial Director of RariTEK Engineering LLC, RariTEK enterprise plans to start commercial production of Moskvich cars on NGV fuel in August and to produce more than 1 thousand such cars by the end of year. At the same time, the holding's capacity allows producing up to 4 thousand NGV vehicles annually and may be increased in the future. The gas version of Moskvich will be approximately 120-130 thousand rubles more expensive than the conventional one.
