Russia showed the interior of the presidential Aurus: a car as an instrument of power and a symbol of technological sovereignty

In early 2025, during a working trip to Tolyatti, Russian President Vladimir Putin demonstrated for the first time the interior of his personal Aurus car, which is part of the state motorcade program. The car was presented not only as a means of transportation, but also as a functional space for working meetings, negotiations and management activities on the way.

According to the head of state, the car's interior allows you to hold operational meetings with key officials right while traveling. During the trip to Tolyatti, the plenipotentiary representative and the regional governor were in the car, with whom they discussed socio-economic issues of the region. The President noted that "on the road we talk about what time to lose", emphasizing the importance of rational use of time.

The interior of the Aurus is designed in a simple business style with an emphasis on spaciousness, sound insulation and ergonomics suitable for formal communication. The President called the salon "convenient for communicating here", thereby indicating not only the transport, but also the communication function of the car.

Special attention was paid to the origin of the project. Vladimir Putin stressed that Aurus is a development of the Russian engineering school, implemented by order of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. At the same time, the participation of foreign specialists was limited to consulting functions, which emphasizes the desire for technological sovereignty in the production of a strategically significant product.

The Aurus project was launched in 2013 and became part of the program to create a national executive car industry that can compete with international brands on equal terms. The range includes limousines, sedans, SUVs, and motorcycles designed to meet the requirements of the civil service and protocol.

The demonstration of the interior of the presidential Aurus is not just an act of openness, but also a signal of technological confidence, aimed at both the internal audience and external observers. The car becomes not only a symbol of power, but also the embodiment of the country's engineering and industrial course aimed at import independence in critical sectors.
