The Kaliningrad Avtotor plant has begun producing Kaiyi X3 and Kaiyi X3 Pro crossovers, with plans to deliver the vehicles to dealerships in the near term. The move marks a notable expansion for the facility as it adds new models to its assembly lineup and supports regional demand across Canada and the United States through authorized dealers and imports.
In a quality-focused rollout, Kaiyi experts supervised the assembly process and the overall quality of the batch. Their oversight confirmed design integrity and production readiness, paving the way for large-scale manufacturing of both the Kaiyi X3 and Kaiyi X3 Pro. The approach reflects Avtotor’s commitment to consistent standards and reliable output as the company ramps up production for wider markets.
Kaiyi X3 is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine delivering 115 horsepower and is designed to run on AI-92 gasoline. The vehicle uses a traditional manual-style shift as part of its gearbox configuration. Standard features include cruise control, a rearview camera, advanced driver assistance systems, and keyless entry, all aimed at delivering a convenient and safe driving experience for everyday Canadian and American roads.
The Kaiyi X3 Pro raises performance with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 147 horsepower and enhanced torque delivery. Its equipment list adds a heated steering wheel, a panoramic roof, a media system with a 10-inch screen, cruise control, and a multi-directional camera setup. Wireless charging for smartphones is included, reflecting a modern, connected interior designed for urban drivers and families across North America.
