KAMAZ Dakar 2023-2024.

The new KAMAZ Dakar 2023-2024 crossover is shown on the first photorender.

Chinese auto giant FAW may start producing its cars at the facilities of the former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg.

One of the brand’s best sellers in China is the FAW Bestune T99, for which local dealers are asking about 1 million rubles at the current exchange rate.

If production of FAW Bestune T99 is localized in Russia, for example under the domestic brand, this car could cost no more than 2 million rubles.

Independent designers of the naavtotrasse.ru portal have shown how a KAMAZ Dakar of 2023-2024 model years, built on the FAW T99 platform, could look.

Judging by the images, KAMAZ Dakar 2023-2024 with length of 4,800 mm, width of 1,915 mm, height of 1,685 mm and wheelbase of 2,870 mm would look like a donor with a similar grille, massive bumpers and LED headlights.

Such dimensions make it a classmate of Hyundai Tucson, Chery Tiggo 8 Pro and similar vehicles. Under the hood can be installed a 2.0-liter turbocharged 224 hp power unit, working with 6 or 8 gearbox.

Under the hood of KAMAZ Dakar 2023-2024 would be installed a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine rated at 224 hp combined with a 6-speed manual transmission or 8-speed automatic transmission.

In the arsenal of novelty would be the maximum set of systems of active and passive safety, including ADAS complex with the function of collision prevention and intelligent cruise control.

We should note that the KAMAZ Dakar 2023-2024 renders were created by independent designers and have nothing to do with the actual plans of automaker FAW.

Why exactly crossover from FAW will be the basis for the first KAMAZ Parketta is quite understandable.

The fact is that this automaker is «matchmaking» for the plant, which Nissan sold to NAMI, to resume the production process.

FAW products are currently in limited demand in Russia for two reasons: customer distrust and overpriced, in fact, budget models.

KAMAZ, in turn, has been involved in many projects to restart the production processes at car plants in the country.

For example, together with JAC, KAMAZ is going to return a new generation of Moskvich cars to the assembly line. Why the new crossover will use the domestic name is also quite understandable.

FAW is expanding into the European market and expanding production in Russia could have a negative impact on the Chinese carmaker’s reputation.

On the other hand, the name KAMAZ Dakar 2023-2024 will attract much more Russian buyers to the car.

It is expected that the cost of the domestic Parkett, after its production is localized at the Nissan plant, will be about two million rubles.

Yes, it is quite expensive in today’s conditions, but nevertheless the car will turn out to be a more profitable purchase compared to the Tucson in terms of financial expenses.
