Despite the difficult financial situation in the Russian market, the demand for full-fledged SUVs with high-quality equipment remains relatively high. However, due to the unstable exchange rate of the ruble, many representatives of this class of the type Kia Mohave or Toyota Land Cruiser Prado may rise in price significantly. In addition, sanctions pressure may lead to the fact that some companies will be forced to leave Russia.
However, the domestic market remains important for many manufacturers. To avoid sanctions pressure, companies can introduce completely new brands to the Russian market or revive well-known brands. In this regard, the fact that renderings of the first ZIL-131 2022-2023 SUV appeared is not surprising. Domestic designer announced the publication of a series of images with a new model.
The presented part of the renderings shows that the future ZIL SUV will at least visually resemble That Mohave. The Russian novelty, according to the author, will receive a somewhat angular body with rounded and littered rear pillars. This combination indicates that the ZIL SUV will be a 5-seater vehicle.
It is not yet clear who can create the ZIL-131 2022-2023. This is explained by the fact that the ZIL brand was bought out by an American businessman several years ago. According to his idea, future SUVs of this brand should be built on the basis of the platform Jeep and get a 6.2 liter engine from Chrysler. In this regard, it is possible that Stellantis, which owns these brands, will decide to create such a car. Moreover, the French-American alliance today supplies a limited number of off-road vehicles to the Russian market.
