Russian-made Bremach 4x4 SUV debuts at LA Auto Show for $27K
Fox News
The Bremach 4x4 SUV is a Russian-made truck scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. in 2022 for $26,405.
Bremach originally planned to call it the Taos, but Volkswagen beat it to market with a model using that name. It's set to compete against the dwindling number of body-on-frame midsize SUVs available today, which is limited to the Toyota 4Runner, Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler.
It's not an all-new vehicle, but an updated and homologated version of the UAZ Patriot, which has been on sale since 2005. Bremach specializes in military and commercial trucks globally and plans to add the later to the U.S. lineup in the future.
Final specifications are still being worked out, but the plan is to offer it with a standard 4x4 system with a low range transfer case, a GM 6-speed automatic transmission and a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 150 hp, while a V8 option is in the works.
