The Evolute i-Space, a seven-seat crossover, is set to debut a hybrid powertrain in Russia that delivers a combined 287 horsepower. Reportedly, the vehicle offers a substantial driving range, with fuel and electric power working together to provide a 1150 km reserve. The information comes from an official Evolute release cited by socialbites.ca, framing the model as a key player in Evolute’s regional strategy.
Power is split between a front axle electric motor rated at 178 hp and a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated gasoline engine producing 110 hp. This internal combustion unit primarily serves to recharge the traction battery, ensuring the electric component remains ready for daily driving duties. The overall output remains 287 hp with torque peaking at 435 Nm, pairing energy efficiency with strong on-road performance. The battery benefits from a four-hour recharge window when connected to a high-voltage charging station, a practical detail for longer trips and daily use alike.
Inside the Russian market configuration, buyers can expect a premium audio experience with a 12-speaker system, as well as large 19-inch wheels that contribute to both aesthetics and handling. Comfort is emphasized with heated and ventilated seats and a high level of sound insulation to create a quiet cabin environment. Safety and convenience are enhanced by a built-in video recorder, a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, and a reverse collision warning system, all designed to assist drivers in busy urban settings and on regional roads. The official price for the model has not been disclosed, but Evolute has outlined the Lipetsk region Motorinvest plant as the site for the unveiling event, signaling a strategic rollout in the Russian market.
Beyond the domestic display, observers have tracked earlier disclosures about which markets might receive the Evolute Atom electric car in the coming months. The broader export trajectory suggests a phased approach to bringing new electric models to multiple regions, with the Atom and related variants likely to appear in select markets beyond Russia as production scales and distribution networks expand. News outlets have tied these developments to Evolute’s long-term plan to broaden its international footprint, indicating that North American consumers could become future beneficiaries of the brand’s evolving electric lineup when regional introductions align with regulatory approvals and charging infrastructure readiness.
