Mass production of the Aurus Arsenal minivan is slated for 2024, according to TASS, quoting Fyodor Nazarov, the Director General of FSUE NAMI. When asked about plans for producing Aurus minivans at scale, Nazarov indicated that a limited production run is on the schedule for next year. This aligns with the broader strategy to expand the Aurus family as part of the Cortege project, a flagship initiative aimed at bringing Russian automotive engineering to the forefront of executive mobility. The Aurus line already encompasses the Senat family of sedans and limousines as well as the Komendant SUV, forming a complete spectrum of luxury transport under one brand umbrella.
The Arsenal minivan measures 5980 millimeters in length and rides on a 3550 millimeter wheelbase. Its interior is configured to seat eight passengers with comfort and versatility in mind. Power comes from a V8 heart delivering ample output, paired with a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission to provide confident acceleration and refined highway performance. The vehicle embodies the blend of space, performance, and premium materials that the Aurus brand emphasizes across its lineup.
There is also historical context around the Aurus brand extending beyond automobiles. Reports have suggested ambitions to apply the same luxury ethos to other domains, including high-end maritime ventures such as luxury yachts, under the same brand umbrella. In 2023, Aurus Komendant SUVs reached a production milestone, with about two hundred units reportedly manufactured for that model year, underscoring the brand’s commitment to volumes that can support a broader luxury narrative.
From industry observers, it has been noted that discussions around the cost of specific interior components for the Aurus Senat have circulated in various outlets. Such questions reflect the interest in understanding the premium materials and bespoke features that characterize the brand’s flagship offerings, while also illustrating the high expectations from potential buyers who seek not only performance but also tailored luxury experiences.
