The Aurus Arsenal (Russian: Арсена́л) is a luxury minivan by Russian automaker Aurus Motors and developed by NAMI in Moscow, Russia.

The Aurus Arsenal is part of the Kortezh series of luxury vehicles, which includes the Senat limousine and the Komendant SUV.[3]

Appearance and characteristics

The Aurus Arsenal minivan has the same radiator grille as the Aurus Senat sedan, with its own headlights. A distinctive feature of the Aurus Arsenal are the rear pillars: they are wide at the bottom, narrow at the top and have a reverse slope. It differs in a hood layout, rather than a carriage one, which allows to place engines of large overall dimensions.[4]

The car is equipped with a hybrid power plant consisting of a V8 4.4 gasoline engine (598 hp) and a nine-speed automatic transmission with an integrated electric motor (with a nominal output of 38 hp and a peak output of 63 hp.).[5]
