Why it matters

The Komendant is the third model in the Aurus range and its first crossover, a state-linked luxury vehicle designed primarily for Russia's elite. It was revealed despite sanctions that had starved Russian industry of imported components.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The first prototype was ready in spring 2019 and camouflaged cars were seen on test repeatedly before the premiere, which was postponed several times. The SUV is to be built in Moscow at NAMI facilities and at Yelabuga on the Aurus line, with series production planned for late 2022 or early 2023.
