It is noted that the restyled Aurus Senat, which could be seen at the inauguration of the President of Russia in 2024, will debut at the SPIEF. During the modernization, it received a number of design changes aimed at improving the efficiency of the braking system, suspension, fuel supply system and automatic transmission.

The external update of the “Senate” significantly changed the visual appearance of the model as a whole – this is due to the new matrix headlights, different bumpers with a radiator grille and a new aluminum hood. In addition, the design of the wheels has been changed, more compact LED taillights have been installed, and the area under the license plate has moved from the trunk lid to the rear bumper.

The scale of changes in the interior is no less. After the restyling, the car received a new dashboard, steering wheel, central tunnel and door panels. The mechanical gear selector has been replaced with a compact joystick, the multimedia system has received a larger screen, has lost a separate controller washer and several buttons, and the instrument panel can now be configured in three pre-installed design options.

The first pre-production samples of the updated Aurus Senat have already passed the necessary technical tests – they were carried out both at Aurus’s own site in Yelabuga and at the FSUE testing ground “NAMI”.

“Details on all changes and design features of the updated Aurus Senat and Aurus Senat Long will be presented during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum as part of the brand’s exhibition displays, presented in the Expoforum Passage and the pavilion of the Special Purpose Garage of the Federal Security Service of Russia. “Current information about the price and official start of sales has not yet been disclosed,” the Aurus press service stated.

It was previously reported that the Aurus brand lineup should soon be expanded with the Arsenal minivan, which could be seen in the motorcades of the president, various high-ranking government officials, and honored guests. Until 2025, all units produced were intended exclusively for official use and were not available for general sale.
