Aurus Arsenal, a Russian luxury minivan for travelling in style and safety

The great luxury brands are well known, at least those based in the European market. But in other countries that are far away from us there are also luxury brands, which form part of the convoys of VIPs in those countries and have nothing to envy from European luxury cars. These are luxury brands with impressive features and that look as spectacular as you can see in the images accompanying this article.

In this case we are talking about the Aurus Arsenal, a minivan that is part of the range of Aurus, a Russian company that supplies the Russian market, one that is still more unfamiliar to us than the Chinese one, with high-end vehicles. The Aurus Arsenal is a minivan with a large rectangular front grille. On its sides it has two slim headlights and large air intakes on the flanks.

The side view has a more practical look, with a very high roof and two sliding rear doors. To help access the interior, the Aurus Arsenal has two side steps in the form of stirrups that help you overcome the height above the ground more comfortably. The rear windows have a movable part, which allows them to open partially and let some air into the interior.

As for the wheels, they look similar to those of the Aurus Senat, the limousine used by Vladimir Putin and which is the official car of senior members of the Russian government. Regarding the engine, there is no detailed information, but it is believed to be fitted with a hybrid V8 engine, offering a total output of 590 CV and a torque of 880 Nm.

The Aurus Arsenal is based on a modular platform, so the brand can build each model according to the customer’s needs. They can change the length and wheelbase to offer more space if necessary. For now we have only seen this passenger van in the security convoys that accompany Putin, although soon it will reach more private customers and who knows whether at some point it will cross Russian borders and reach the European market.
