New family (restyling): GAZelle NN (New Next)

Gazelle NN (New Next) is a restyled version of Gazelle Next. The exterior of the cab of the new Gazelle is attractive and moderately original, because the designers chose a very interesting LED optics for the design of the front. The architecture of the front part itself has remained the same and even bears a certain family style, so it will not be possible to confuse this car with any other.

Detailed in the new version of the Russian Next, the hood has changed — it has become more embossed, the plastic front bumper has changed the side "air intakes" and another, central, radiator grille has appeared — it has received a stylish three–dimensional shape. The sidewalls remained the same, with the exception of the exterior mirror housings, which, as proposed by the Gazelle Next 2021 concept, will now be painted in body color. Inside the cabin there is a new front panel with rectangular air ducts, a full-fledged multi-steering wheel equipped with heating, and a central touch display.

To the left of it there are physical control buttons, below – a compact climate control console. The engine start button is located to the right of the steering wheel, but the compartments for small things, even if they changed their shape, but remained in their places, so the GAZelle driver will definitely not have to get used to a different storage system.

The driver's seat has also been improved, which will become softer due to the air suspension. As for the double sofa, you can make a comfortable table out of it by folding the back. The manufacturer promised that all current engines will remain in the ranks of the new Gazelle Next 2021 model year: 2.8-liter Cummins ISF turbodiesel engines with a capacity of 120 and 150 hp, as well as a 3.0-liter Evotech gasoline engine and its equivalent, in addition to gasoline, consuming liquefied propane.

The classic 5-speed manual "box" will remain available, while the manufacturer plans to offer other options, for example, a "robot" or a new "six-speed", which is designed specifically for modifications with a new Volkswagen diesel engine.
