The Russian brand Tenet Plus announced the launch of an all-wheel drive version of its flagship crossover Tenet Plus L6. It will complement the previously presented front-wheel drive trim levels and will bring a new powertrain to the model range.

How The Tenet Plus press service told Avtonovosti Dnya that the addition of all-wheel drive will expand the L6 crossover’s capabilities when driving on various types of surfaces. Unlike the front-wheel drive modifications equipped with a 1.5-liter 147-horsepower turbo engine and a six-speed “robot”, the version with both driving axles received a 150-horsepower turbocharged engine of the same volume, paired with a seven-speed “robot” with two clutches.

In addition, the all-wheel drive version exceeds the front-wheel drive version in torque by 20%. In combination with a seven-speed “robot” and an all-wheel drive system, this provides more confident acceleration, improved dynamics when overtaking and high traction even when fully loaded, including towing a trailer weighing up to 750 kg.
According to the manufacturer, all-wheel drive helps maintain stability when changing road surface conditions – on wet asphalt, snow or unpaved sections, and also increases the predictability of the car on the road. Under normal conditions, traction is transmitted to the front wheels, which has a positive effect on the fuel efficiency of the car.
As a reminder, the mid-size Tenet Plus L6 crossover, the flagship model of the new Russian brand Tenet Plus, went on sale in early September. Initially, it was offered in only two front-wheel drive trim levels: “Elegant” priced at 2,890,000 rubles and “Ultra” priced at 3,040,000 rubles. The model is produced at the former Volkswagen plant in Kaluga. #a_single_tr1_m_d_on_p425836.on{min-height:232px;padding:1.6rem;border-radius:8px;margin-ri ght:-1.6rem;margin-left:-1.6rem}#a_single_tr1_m_d_on_p425836.on:before{display:block;content:"Read also";font-size:1.7rem;font-weight:500;margin-bottom:.8rem}@media(max-width:767px){#a_single_tr1_m_d_on_p425836.on{border-radius:0}}
The intelligent all-wheel drive system Tenet Plus L6 AWD monitors traffic conditions in real time and, if necessary, automatically connects the rear axle, redistributing torque.
Sales of the new crossover from Changan have begun, which is cheaper than the Geely Coolray and Votour V5
