You can return to Yugo – Blikk

The cult car of Eastern Europeans can return, with an affordable, gasoline-engine, three-door oblique model. Certainly, it is the Yugo, which is not necessarily good for the « cult » adjective.

• The new Yugo is scheduled to start with a three -door gasoline oblique model.

• The designers targeted affordability and sportiness.

• Later, they would also be sold with an internal combustion engine, hand or automatic transmission and electric drive.

Dr. Aleksandar Bjiric entrepreneur, engineer, automotive driver and university professor acquired Zastava’s rights use rights and, together with a Serbian designer Darko Marceta, made the model, which could be a future series car. The new Yugo resembles a Lancia Delta Integrale and a modern Hyundai IONIQ 5 retro intersection.

Those who have been tired of SUVs lately do not have to worry because Yugo will not be another crossover. The newly formed Yugo brand introduced its model at the Car Design Event 2025 event, stating that the series car will be a B class, so it will compete with Toyota Yaris, Renault Clio or Volkswagen Polo. In addition « Emphasizes the affordability and sportiness of the new model. »

The new yugo Looks like internal combustion engines and manual or automatic transmission get in the market. In addition, electrical -powered versions and various body changes are possible, so it is not excluded that Yugo Cabrio is reborn.

The production was launched in 1980, based on Fiat 127, and the original Yugo in Kragujevac, Serbia, was made until 2008. It provided basic, affordable transport opportunities for the masses, although it was sometimes frighteningly unreliable and weak. He also had many jokes and even appeared in American movies. The Yugo began to be exported to the United States in 1985, where most of them smiled more, though after the shock of the oil crisis, it may have seemed a good step to throw a small, economical car between the gasoline eating. The export models received a five -speed gear and a larger 116 cubic centimeter, which was available with 55 and 60 horsepower. Later, the 60-horsepower version was replaced by a 1301 cubic 65-horsepower version, which was already available with a three-speed automatic transmission in the US. American models have received extras such as the rear speaker.

After the outbreak of the Yugoslav war, Yugo’s US exports stopped in 1992, but the production of eastern market models also became confusing. Sometimes the color of the upholstery did not pass to the dashboard or showed speed in the clock miles. In the meantime, the production of a car renamed Koral continued until 2008, making a total of 794,000 pieces.

You still have to wait for years

The brand seems to be fully functional at the 2027 Belgrade exhibition prototype will also be presented. Let’s hope this will have a slightly greater force than 45 horsepower of the original Yugas.
