Votour V5: New Russian Car Brand Unveils Its First Crossover

Russian car brand Votour has unveiled its first model, the V5 urban crossover, with sales due to begin in November 2026. The brand was created by the AGR holding together with the Chinese company Defetoo. Pricing has not been announced.

Design of the V5

The V5 has a large radiator grille, narrow daytime running lights and 19-inch wheels. Other design elements include a sloping roofline, sculpted side panels and concealed door handles.

According to Votour's press service, the crossover is intended for everyday driving in the city and beyond. The company has not yet published technical specifications and says it will disclose them closer to the start of sales.

More model lines planned

Votour intends to widen its range beyond the V5. The next addition will be the T series, made up of crossovers with increased off-road capability.

The brand also plans an R series aimed at the premium SUV segment. No timeline has been given for either line.

For buyers, the key unknowns remain the price, powertrain and equipment of the V5, all of which are expected to become clearer as the November launch approaches. The tie-up between a Russian holding and a Chinese partner reflects how new brands are entering the market, and the V5 will be the first test of how Votour positions itself.
