Soueast

For 2025, Soueast has planned to launch another model on the Russian market - the city crossover S06. This model is already positioned as a compact car designed for urban use.

The name of the Soueast brand is derived from a combination of the English words Soul ("soul") and Ease ("lightness"), which reflects the philosophy of the company. Soueast was founded in 1995 and has been actively targeting international markets in recent years, including the Middle East, South America and Central Asia. Russia became the first European market for the company, which emphasizes the strategic importance of this region for the further development of the brand.

According to Auto.ru, as part of its strategy on the Russian market, Soueast plans to establish not only car sales, but also the provision of a wide range of accessories and spare parts through its own dealer network.^[1]
