Federal chain – operating since 2011

Plug-in hybrids are booming in Russia. Manufacturers promise a range of over 1,000 km, comfort, and fuel economy. But what's the reality? Avto.ru tested 11 models, ensuring they were fully fueled, charged, and driven to the last drop.

Top three:
Exlantix ES - 930 km (out of the claimed 1,231 km);
Wey 07 - 809 km (out of 1,140 km);
Evolute i-Space - 780 km (out of 1,250 km).

It's noticeable that the champions still fell short of their claimed range. And many well-known models trailed: Tank 500 Hi-Charge, Voyah Free, Rox 01, Lixiang L7.

The only car that didn't reach the 600-kilometer mark was the Seres M7, with the crossover stopping at 573 km.
