The developers behind the Russian electric car called Atom shared the platform specs that will underpin the vehicle. The information was published by the startup company JSC Kama on the VKontakte social network.
In size, the Atom sits roughly on par with a Lada Granta hatchback. It measures about 3995 mm in length and 1780 mm in width. Ground clearance comes in at 170 mm, and the design accommodates wheels ranging from 17 to 19 inches. The Atom features a fully independent MacPherson front suspension paired with a multi link rear suspension, delivering a balanced ride and solid handling for everyday driving and longer journeys alike.
This model will be rear wheel drive. The electric drivetrain is capable of delivering up to 204 horsepower, and the 77 kilowatt hour battery offers a range of up to 500 kilometers on a single charge. A quick charge at a high power station can restore enough energy to cover about 100 kilometers in roughly eight minutes. The Atom provides both Type 2 and GB/T charging ports to accommodate a variety of charging standards. Its performance includes a zero to 100 km/h sprint in about eight seconds and a turning radius of 4.9 meters, supporting nimble urban maneuvering and confident highway acceleration.
Manufacturing of the Atom is slated to take place at the Moskvich plant in Moscow, with the first units expected to reach showrooms in the latter half of 2025, according to company statements. This move aligns with an effort to bring a domestically produced electric vehicle to market while meeting growing demand for practical, affordable electric cars within Russia and neighboring markets.
Earlier updates from the Atom team showcased a redesigned steering wheel that includes a built in display, illustrating the ongoing emphasis on driver information and control layouts. These contemporary touches reflect an interest in integrating digital interfaces that enhance the driving experience and provide clearer vehicle feedback for the operator in various road conditions and use scenarios.
