AUTONEWS


What is the truth about the new Yugo?

When the first drawings showing what the new Yugo might look like were shown more than a year ago, everyone showed a certain amount of enthusiasm, but also nostalgia. However, a lot has happened since then.

Was the license for the name and logo really handed over to a German businessman of our origin, did they continue with the project and is there a chance of fulfilling the promise that we will see a drivable model next year – these are the questions that this week's SAT show answers.

The image below shows a projection of what a modern Yugo car would look like.

The image envisions a modern, sporty reinterpretation of the classic hatchback from the former Yugoslavia.

The image below shows a concept for a new Yugo convertible—a digital rendering created by designer Darko Marčeta for a potential revival of the classic Yugoslav automotive brand.

Announcement: Investors and entrepreneurs have announced plans to revive the Yugo brand, with the aim of unveiling a functional prototype.

Planned Launch: The project aims to showcase the model at Expo 2027 in Belgrade.

Design and Concept: The retro-futuristic design blends modern lines with cues from the original 1980s model, featuring body styles such as a hatchback and the convertible version shown in the image.

Powertrain: The project is considering the use of an affordable internal combustion engine (such as a 1.2-liter unit) or electrified alternatives aimed at the low-cost European market.
