The UMO 8 features a range-extended hybrid powertrain (REEV), equipped with a 156 hp gasoline engine and two electric motors, delivering a total system output of 340 hp. According to Yandex, the vehicle's tax base is calculated based on the average total power of the two electric motors, which is 122 hp. The official combined range is 867 km, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.7 seconds. The vehicle dimensions are 4900×1950×1780 mm, with a wheelbase of 2880 mm.

This model is deeply integrated with the Yandex ecosystem, allowing multimedia, navigation, and various vehicle systems to be controlled via the voice assistant Alice. For example, the driver can command "Turn on seat massage" or "Open the trunk." The vehicle is also equipped with a new Yandex Map, featuring improved navigation, real-time traffic light and charging station information display, along with a HUD (Head-Up Display) system.

The UMO 8 is adapted for Russian operating conditions, including a winter package that features heated front windshield, heated washer nozzles, heated steering wheel, and additional anti-corrosion protection. Information on specific configurations, pricing, and launch dates will be announced later.
