Brand history

Vortex is a Russian automotive brand launched in 2008 by the TagAZ manufacturer, based in Taganrog. It was created to produce adapted versions for the Russian market of Chinese models, notably those from Chery Automobile. The first cars under the Vortex brand were rebadged versions of Chery models, such as the Estina sedan, Corda liftback, and Tingo crossover. These vehicles were locally assembled to meet the specific needs of Russian consumers. However, due to financial difficulties, production under the Vortex brand ceased in 2013, and the manufacturer was declared bankrupt in 2014. (avtoshark.com)
