The Evolute i-Jet hybrid crossover is scheduled to debut in May 2023 at the Motorinvest facility in Lipetsk. According to the Avilon dealer’s press service, the model could reach dealer showrooms as early as June.
Initial pricing for the Evolute i-Jet is estimated around 5.5 million rubles. Thanks to the government’s preferential auto loan program, buyers may qualify for a subsidy of 625 thousand rubles.
The i-Jet crossover represents a refreshed variant of the Seres SF5, which has been produced in China since 2020. It employs a series-hybrid powertrain that combines a 1.5-liter SFG15TR petrol turbo engine with two electric motors, delivering a combined output of 646 horsepower.
Production of Evolute electric vehicles began in late September of the previous year at the Motorinvest plant in the Lipetsk region. Currently, two models are assembled there: the i-Pro sedan and the i-Joy crossover.
Earlier comments from Andrey Reznikov, the managing partner of Motorinvest, indicated that the company plans to unveil five new models by the end of the year.
