You may not be very clear why but it is possible that Ebro as a car manufacturer already sounds to you. Cars? Of vehicles, we will say. Ebro, the firm that is taking cars from the old Nissan factory in Barcelona, which has a plan with Chinese Chery group and those who aspire to place 20,000 cars in the market In a single year, it is already underway. He does it with a SUV of four and a half meters, of combustion, and with a project that includes future hybrid motorizations and plug -in hybrids … But before, what are we talking about? What is all Ebro? Where does Ebro come from? If Ebro sounds like something to you, it is because this car company collect the legacy left by their ancestors In Barcelona. At the beginning of the 20th century, Ford landed in Cádiz. The firm wanted to settle in Spain and doubted between Cádiz and Barcelona, opting for this first coastal city. However, after government pressures to raise taxes, the company moved to Barcelona. There, he launched a factory in Poble Nou but on his way the Spanish civil war would cross, which resulted in economically hard years and the abandonment of Ford of the factory. In 1953, the North American company would get a contest for the manufacture of tractors from its marketers in Spain. But just a year later, the State nationalizes the company and reorganizes it under the name of MOTOR IBERICA SA. The latter creates Ebro, opening offices in Barcelona, Madrid and Ávila. From then on, the company produces buses, roads, vans, SUVs and tractors that owe its origin to Ford Thames Trader trucks. In 1965, relations end completely with Ford and in 1967 the company moves to the Free Zone of Barcelona where it begins to produce its vehicles in some facilities that arrive to this day. Ebro buys various companies that manufactured their own diesel engine or mounted the Romeo-Fadic vans with license Alfa Romeo, among other products. It is in those years when Massey-Ferguson puts the capital in Ebro and, from then on, the manufactured tractors lose their name. In spite In the facilities the Nissan Patrol and the light van Nissan Vanette. These models would be the last to mount the Ebro emblem on the front. In 1987, Ebro disappears When the company became Nissan Motor Ibérica SA. The facilities, however, remained alive until the Japanese company ceases its activities in Barcelona. So, years later, the Ebro project returns the activity partially and in 2023 the Chery group confirms that it will manufacture again at the Ebro facilities. The intention since then is to produce there omoda and Jaecoo cars, but also of Ebro that has its first releases in Ebro S700 and Ebro S800. A commercial offer that begins with the first of them and that we have already been able to prove. EBRO S700 What, for the moment, is done in the old Nissan factory is to finish assembling the cars that arrive from China. That is why the company has managed to put a car on the market in a margin of time that would be impossible. Ebro S700 baby (and much) of the Chery Tyggo 7 Pro But he plays with some interesting incentives. The car is a four and a half meters SUV with good habitability and an interior careful enough to fight with the competition.

On the outside, the Ebro S700 looks a robust car. Square forms and a high hood help to give presence to a car of 4,553 meters long and 1,862 meters long. Its inner habitability is good but, above all, it has a 500 liter trunk as incentive to those who are looking for a car for the family. Already inside, the space for the driver is wide and the seats are wide and comfortable. But, above all, the good impression of materials surprises. Although they are not excessively fluffy, they are distributed padded by the doors, in the dashboard and in the central console. There is also space for a wireless mobile phone load (50W) and two USB (A and C) ports to load it. In the satellite levers there are controls with rough endings, such as roulettes, which facilitate their handling and give good feelings in their hand.
