A minibus of the revived Russo-Balt brand will be presented in 2027

It is expected that the minibus will have 12 passenger seats, not counting the driver’s seat. A representative of the Perm auto company told Motor magazine about this.

“The passenger version based on the van will seat 12 people and will appear in 2027. But most likely at the end of the year,” an official representative of Russo-Balt told a Motor correspondent.

At the beginning of 2026, the revived Russo-Balt auto company presented its first model – the F200 electric van. It will be produced to order, and the initial price was 6.5 million rubles. First delivery to customers is scheduled for January 2027.

Certification tests of the model have not yet been completed. The van is designed for a carrying capacity of 1 thousand kilograms; a category “B” license is sufficient to drive a car. The electric van body is made from solid panels using manual welding.

The original Russo-Balt cars were produced from 1909 to 1918. In total, several hundred copies were produced.

It was previously reported that UAZ is testing new diesel models.
