The car received a combined electrical installation, which is capable of consuming electricity and hydrogen.

The Russian premium car brand Aurus plans to sell its first hydrogen-powered sedan for $597,000. This is reported by the Mash Telegram channel, citing sources familiar with the situation. The hydrogen sedan has already been demonstrated to the public several times at various events. In July, the car could be seen at the Innoprom forum in Yekaterinburg, and in August the car was brought to the exhibition of spare parts and auto components MIMS-2022 in Moscow.

In turn, FSUE "NAMI" refuted information about prices. They explained that so far the model exists only in the form of a test prototype, on which NAMI engineers work out the possibilities of hydrogen technologies.

“Information about the cost and further sales of a car powered by hydrogen fuel,” the FSUE NAMI emphasized.

When the Aurus hydrogen sedan will go on sale is unknown. While the production of the car has not yet started. At the moment, it is obvious that the car received a combined electrical installation that is capable of consuming electricity and hydrogen. The power reserve of the novelty is 600 km. Acceleration to “hundreds” takes the sedan 4 s.

Earlier, FSUE NAMI announced plans to produce a whole line of hydrogen cars. Rosatom, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and Gazprom are also participating in the project. What kind of cars will be included in the line of hydrogen cars and how many there will be, is still unknown.

Aurus mass-produces Senat sedans and limousines. Initially, the most affordable model of the Russian brand was estimated at $398,000. However, in April, the Ministry of Industry and Trade warned that prices for premium models would soon rise. The department explained that this will allow the manufacturer to fulfill import substitution plans and expand the line. If you now look at the announcements of dealers, then it is cheaper than $497,000. Aurus can not be found.

The next novelty of the Russian brand will be the Komendant SUV, the premiere of which may take place before the end of 2022. Aurus Komendant will receive the same powertrain as the Senat model: it is a hybrid unit based on a 4.4-liter V8 petrol turbo engine, paired with a compact electric motor and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The total output of the units is 598 hp.
