The Kortezh series of vehicles were specifically designed for transporting the Russian president. They replaced the foreign-made limos, which had long been used by the Russian president and were first presented during Vladimir Putin's inauguration in May 2018. Apart from the limo there are the "Senate" sedan and the "Arsenal" minivan versions. All Kortezh vehicles are planned to be adapted for the general public and sold under a new luxury brand, Aurus, starting in 2019.
