In this case, cars will be produced under the Lada brand.
The Avtopotok Telegram channel, citing sources at AvtoVAZ and the former Russian Nissan plant (now the company is called Lada St. Petersburg), writes that AvtoVAZ is negotiating with Chery to organize the production of two crossovers in St. Petersburg – Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8. It is reported that the final agreements have not yet been reached, but the plant is “already working on a solution to this problem.”
Chery Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 can be launched at the Lada St. Petersburg plant
“ Earlier, about a year ago, Chery had already negotiated with the leadership of VAZ on the production of their cars at the Nissan plant. But then the negotiations stalled due to the fact that the Chinese side did not want to give the latest models for assembly. In addition, at that time Chery was conducting separate parallel negotiations with Avilon for localization at the Volkswagen plant in Kaluga. Now the situation has changed: VAZ has lowered the bar of requirements, while Chery and Avilon, apparently, did not succeed in partnership. Therefore, the Chinese returned to the negotiating table with VAZ. Several Chery cars were at the factory for a while, but they were recently taken away. Our source says that these copies were taken from the dealer, just for study , ”writes Avtopotok.
