We came across some very convincing
renderings from Kolesa that provide a rather precise preview of the finished
item. As with the Senat sedan, the Aurus Komendant will feature an equally
imposing chrome radiator grille, similar headlights (though not identical), and
a pair of side air intakes that remind of Vladimir Putin’s limo.
Seen from the side, the Komendant SUV
sports a pronounced waistline ascending from the headlights to the taillights,
generous glazing and similar alloy wheels to the Senat. The rear end of the SUV
is where the artist improvised a little as the taillights are still unknown.
The prototype snapped last week featured
provisional tail lamps so the author decided to fit a set of rectangular lights
that fit the cutouts seen on the prototype while also taking inspiration from
the sedan. We can also spot a chrome strip uniting the taillights and a license
plate niche right under it. Finally, the rear bumper incorporates big flat
tailpipe trims and a generous chrome insert.
Under the skin, the Komendant will share
the same platform with the Senat sedan, packing a 4.4-liter V8 hybridized
gasoline engine rated at 590 HP and 880 Nm of torque. A
nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive will be standard. Aurus
is expected to reveal the Komendant sometime in 2021, with sales following in
2022.
