On March 16th, the first Kaiyi dealership opens in Russia

The official opening of the first dealership of the Chinese brand Kaiyi will take place on March 16th. According to the press service of AvtoSpetsCentre Group of Companies, the village of Moskovsky (village of Kartmazovo) on the 23rd kilometer of the Kyiv highway was chosen as its location. As part of the presentation of DC "AvtoSpetsTsentrKaiyi Vnukovo" a press conference will be held, which will be attended by the General Director of GC "AvtoSpetsTsentr" Andrey Terlyukevich and representatives of the Chinese brand. There will be also a presentation of a novelty - Kaiyi E5 car, which is the first of the model line to enter the Russian market.

Recall that the production of Kaiyi E5 sedan was launched at Avtotor Kaliningrad plant at the end of January 2023. It has one of the longest wheelbases in the segment (2700mm) and fully independent front and rear suspension. Under the bonnet of the car, a non-alternative 1.5-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 147 hp is installed, paired with which a 6-speed manual gearbox and a variator are offered. The main intrigue is the price of Kaiyi E5. According to some reports, in the basic equipment with a manual transmission, it will be around 1.6 million rubles, and in the maximum configuration and with a CVT - about 2 million rubles. But so far there has been no official information about it. There is also practically no information about the options (for safety and to help the driver) that Avtotor sedan is equipped with, and their presence and quantity have a major impact on the cost as a whole. Again, according to rumors, a wide range of driver assistance systems, 6 airbags, panoramic cameras and much more are planned in the car.

Representatives of Avtotor, announcing their plans for 2023, previously said that Kaiyi E5 sedan will not remain alone in the Russian market for long, the brand’s lineup will soon be replenished with compact crossovers Kaiyi X3 and X3 Pro, and in the middle of the year - the flagship X7 Kunlun.
