It is reported that behind the new Sova Motors brand is one of the largest Russian suppliers of IT solutions, Lanit
Sergey Tsyganov, auto expert and host of the Telegram channel «Russian Automobile», published live photos of the domestic electric van Sova 25 (aka Wuling EV50) from the new company «Sova Motors& raquo;. Such cars will begin to be mass produced (using the large-unit method with gradual localization) in Elabuga in May, and the photo shows a copy for certification.
Gross weight of Sova 25 – 2.5 tons, while the load capacity is 1 ton. Approximate power reserve — 150 real, not advertising kilometers. The price of the car will be 3.5 million rubles.
«The machine, by the way, is amazingly simple. The inverter makes noise, the steering wheel is not adjustable, there is an electric heater and air conditioning. The Sova 25 is roomy, there are almost no elements in the body that interfere with loading and unloading (only two small podiums above the wheel arches), it is not bad in dynamics and handling, but it is made in an emphatically clumsy and tasteless manner. Recovery levels are not regulated. The steering wheel makes 4.2 turns from lock to lock: it seems that this is a record for the 21st century», — Sergey Tsyganov spoke about his impressions of Sova 25.
He also noted that one of the photographs shows a possible version of the Owl Motors emblem. Previously, Sergei Tsyganov reported that the project «Sova Motors» costs «Lanit» — one of the largest Russian suppliers of IT solutions. In addition to Sova 25, the range will include a larger model — Sova 35 (Dongfeng Liuzhou 2EV) with a gross weight of 3.5 tons.
