Will Victory be revived on a Chinese chassis?

Chinese manufacturers do not plan to abandon the Russian market. That is why now it is especially important to follow the news from China! After all, no one understands yet when the production of conditional Rapids and Tiguans will resume. So, a security record appeared in the Rospatent database regarding the Haval H6 Supreme crossover. This is the top version of the third-generation Haval H6 crossover, which is distinguished by its luxurious interior design and original front end design. Registration of a patent does not mean that an expensive "Chinese" will soon enter the Russian market! However, as experience shows, Asian brands always act according to one scenario: first they patent the design, then they carry out certification, and after that they open sales.

Geely's Russian office has a different plan. This year, our public should be offered the flagship crossover Geely Monjaro. And before that, given the severity of the Russian climate, the model went through a long cycle of "winter" tests. So, within two months, the cars wound up more than 15 thousand kilometers in the north of Russia. During the tests, the air temperature ranged from -10 to -40 degrees Celsius. First of all, the experts were interested in daily cold starts of the engine. In addition, the climatic installation of the future flagship was subjected to a separate inspection. In addition, after checking the operation of heating and mechanisms, as well as the strength of metal, rubber and plastic parts, the testers concluded that Geely Monjaro will be afraid of even the harshest winters.

Meanwhile, rumors spread on the Web that the Chinese concern Great Wall planned to bring the Ora Ballet Cat model, that is, the “ballet cat”, to the Russian market. And supposedly this either a hatchback or a crossover will be sold under ... the Soviet Pobeda brand. There are a lot of such fakes now. However, the current stuffing turned out to be so powerful that requests even rained down on the Gorky Automobile Plant: they say, is it true that the revived Victory will be a “Chinese” stylized as a retro? In Nizhny Novgorod, the Auto Plus TV channel was clearly told that there were no such plans. GAZ continues to be the owner of the legendary brand, but does not plan to revive the production of cars, either alone or in partnership.
