Details of the new Amberavto A5 electric car have been revealed​

Details about the new electric sedan "Amberavto A5", which was recently presented by the Kaliningrad plant "Avtotor", have become known. The novelty is based on the electric car JMEV GSE from the joint venture of JMC and Renault, writes the portal "Chinese cars". The Amberavto A5 electric sedan has the following dimensions: 4,675 mm in length, 1,835 mm in width and 1,480 mm in height with a wheelbase of 2,750 mm.
The electric car has a MacPherson suspension at the front and multi-lever suspension at the rear. The permanent magnet electric synchronous motor produces 160bhp of power with 225Nm of torque. The traction battery has a capacity of 60.2 kWh. The range is 520 kilometres on a full charge according to the CLTC methodology. The basic equipment of the "A5 Amberavto", among other things, includes electric mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The seats are upholstered in fabric, the driver's seat is adjustable in six directions, and the passenger seat - in four. The dashboard is presented with a 7-inch screen. The centre monitor supports the Android Auto function. Other features include a 12V socket, a pair of USB sockets and a set of basic driving aids like tyre pressure monitoring system and hill descent assist. According to dealers, the cost of the A5 Amberavto will be 3.4 million rubles.
The main competitor of the novelty in Russia will be an electric sedan Evolute i-Pro, which so far wins due to the availability of discounts under the state program of preferential car loans. Probably, that is why Avtotor has started to force the project on production localization. If the A5 Amberavto is included in the list of cars eligible for a discount under the state program, its cost will be reduced by 925 thousand and will amount to about 2.5 million rubles.

This is a rebadged Chinese car.

The restrictions apply to the export of cars with an engine displacement of more than 2 litres to Russia and Belarus in addition to the previous ban on the supply of cars worth more than $50 thousand.
Most popular versions of Korean crossovers, including Hyundai Santa Fe, Palisade and powerful modifications of Kia Sportage and Sorento, which accounted for a significant volume of parallel imports, have fallen under the restrictions on engine capacity. Whether hybrid models and electric cars will fall under the ban is not specified.
It is also not known whether the restrictions will affect cars that Korean companies produce in other countries, such as China.

Among all the cars on the market, the best-selling models belong to Chinese brands Kaiyi, Baic and Jetta. General Director of AvtoSpetsTsentr Group of Companies Andrey Terlyukevich told this to the correspondent of socialbites.ca. According to him, representatives need to take a more active role in brand development.
“The best-selling brands are Kaiyi, Baic and Jetta. We are talking about the Moscow market. In my opinion, the real problem lies in the representation of these brands. The market is very sensitive to distributor incompetence. Buyers don’t choose cars based on design alone. Customers evaluate the brand comprehensively,” said Andrey Terlyukevich.
According to a company representative, the existence of a competitive product and the professionalism of the dealer are no longer enough. Since competition is very high today, brands and product groups need to be developed in order to achieve high levels of automobile sales.
happened before this knownThe supply of Avatr and Zeekr cars to Russia has been stopped.

The models that cause the most outrage among Kia car owners are Seltos and Sorento. About this “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” reported Technical director of the Fresh automotive market is Maxim Ryazanov.
“A few years ago, Kia Seltos owners complained about the lack of sound insulation in the car, poor shock absorption (suspension shortcomings), as well as small trunk volume for a crossover. In addition, some components, such as rubber products such as CV joint shoes and gaskets, quickly failed,” the auto expert recalled.
According to him, there were also complaints about the Kia Seltos in 2023, where drivers had many problems.
“Last year, Kia Sorento also caused dissatisfaction among drivers, mainly due to the strange operation of the robotic box, and in some cases changing the firmware helped this. Fogging of headlights, extraneous noises in the steering column bearing, ineffectiveness of the all-wheel drive system, which led to the replacement of the bearing or the entire steering column, are other complaints from the owners of this model,” added Ryazanov.
The auto expert called the most reliable models of the Kia Soul, Rio, Cerato, K5 brand “due to good handling, optimal suspension for Russian conditions and long service life.”

Denis Migal, founder of the Fresh car market, explained that from February 1, the simplified certification procedure does not apply to hybrids and electric vehicles officially imported into the country. From now on the supplier must issue a full Vehicle Type Approval (VTA); This takes a long time and is significantly more expensive than legalizing cars using the previous simplified procedure.
