In 2026, the former Russian Toyota plant will begin producing Senat cars

The TASS agency was informed about this in business circles. The technical characteristics of the cars, production volume and prices are not reported.

“It will not be Aurus Senat, but a separate Senat brand. Production will start this year,” the agency’s source said.

TASS previously reported that the model, which is planned to be produced at the former Toyota plant, will be presented at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

In September 2022, the Japanese corporation Toyota announced the cessation of car production at its plant in St. Petersburg. The company’s plant was designed to produce 100 thousand cars per year.

The enterprise was put into operation at the end of 2007 and produced RAV4 and Camry models under a special investment contract with the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Earlier, the most popular crossovers that Russians are driving from China became known.
