Tenet shows Plus L4 and L6 with winter kit for Russia

Tenet has brought its Plus L4 and L6 crossovers into public view, emphasizing two things that matter quickly in Russia: color choices and a full winter package. The company gave each model a signature paint finish and paired that with a broad set of heating features.

The larger L6 gets “Orange Dawn”, while the L4 is shown in “Red Garnet.” Four more colors are also planned: “Snow White,” “Northern Silver,” “Black Velvet,” and “Granite Gray.” In a Russian market crowded with Chinese brands including Haval, Geely, Changan, OMODA, and JAECOO, those details can still help a model stand out.

Both vehicles are built on the PMA platform, which Chery develops for export models. According to the company, the same architecture underpins the Lepas L4 and L6, which serve as the technical base for the Tenet Plus lineup.

The winter-focused equipment includes:

• heated first- and second-row seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated windshield and washer nozzles
• remote engine start
• enlarged front seats
• physical buttons for core functions

The L4 will get a 1.5-liter engine producing 147 hp and a six-speed robotized transmission, making its powertrain very close to the Tenet T4. The L6 will be offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions, giving it a broader brief that ranges from city use to winter trips beyond paved roads.

Pricing was not announced. But in Russia’s mass-market crossover segment, where Chinese brands now account for a large share of new models, Tenet will likely need more than price alone to compete — and the company is clearly betting that winter-ready features will help.
