The recommended retail price of the new variant of the flagship SUV from the young Russian brand is 3,299,000 rubles.
The brand, named Tenet, appeared on the Russian automotive market in February 2025. This project is one of the results of the partnership between the Russian holding company "AGR" and the Chinese company Defetoo. Recall that the production of cars under the Tenet brand has been established at the facilities of a plant located near Kaluga, which was previously owned by the Volkswagen Group. The brand's flagship crossover is the T8, which was initially offered in Russia only with a three-row cabin layout.
Sales of the Tenet T8 started on the Russian market in the fall of 2025, and the five-seat version joined the family at the beginning of this month. Initially, the new modification was offered in only one trim – Active, and now a Prime variant has been added. It is known that cars in the richer configuration have already reached the brand's dealers.
As reported by the Tenet press service, the expanded set of options for the new variant of the flagship five-seat SUV was developed "taking into account feedback from owners and potential customers." As a result, this model is equipped with a power tailgate with hands-free opening function, a panoramic roof with a sunroof and sunshade, ambient interior lighting, and illuminated vanity mirrors.
The two-row Tenet T8 in the Prime version features: 18-inch alloy wheels, "acoustic" front windows, dual-zone climate control, a 10.3-inch virtual instrument cluster, an infotainment system with a 15.6-inch touchscreen, an eight-speaker audio system, a 540° surround-view camera system, six airbags, keyless entry, and push-button engine start.
The company noted that, at the request of customers, they expanded the set of themes for the digital instrument cluster: a classic theme with round speedometer and tachometer dials was added to the two previously available design options. Additionally, the five-seat crossover received a voice assistant, which can be activated either by a button on the steering wheel or by the command "Hello, Tenet." It can help, for example, change climate control settings, turn on seat heating, open/close windows, adjust music volume, etc.
The Tenet T8 is equipped with a telematics system that allows owners, via a mobile app, to remotely start the engine, turn on heating, adjust the climate control system, locate the car on the parking lot via geolocation, as well as monitor tire pressure, mileage, average fuel consumption, and driving range.
Under the hood of the new Tenet T8 version is a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 186 hp and a maximum torque of 275 Nm. This engine can run on Ai-92 gasoline. It works in conjunction with a seven-speed robotic gearbox with dual wet clutches; drive is front-wheel. The fuel consumption in the combined cycle for the new model is 7.7 liters per 100 km.
The recommended retail price of the five-seat Tenet T8 crossover in the new Prime trim is 3,299,000 rubles (the price is indicated without taking into account current promotions). For comparison, the base version can be purchased for 3,099,000 rubles, while the top seven-seat variant costs at least 3,885,000 rubles.
