The long-awaited appearance on the market of the new old LADA Vesta NG is still scheduled for spring 2023, despite the fact that the showcase is already the second half of May. The AvtoVzglyad portal believes that the market is not waiting for it with open arms, because competitors are not sleeping.
And this despite the fact that sales of the updated flagship of the Togliatti brand will begin in a few weeks. After all, it was planned to launch it in the spring of this year. Only shock to potential buyers was the recent “discharge” of dealer information that sedans will go on sale at a price of 1.6-1.7 million rubles. AvtoVAZ furiously denied the figures leaked to the media and promised that the cost of Vesta NG would be much lower, but did not specify by how much.
In recent days, rumors have circulated about a price list starting from 1.2 million rubles, but at the moment they have not received any confirmation. In this regard, the AvtoVzglyad portal has selected five direct competitors of LADA Vesta NG in the expected price range, which are already present or, like the brainchild of AVTOVAZ, are about to appear on the domestic market.
In this list it makes sense to mention the Chinese model BAIC U5 Plus. This sedan rolls off the assembly line of the Kaliningrad Avtotor and sales should start before the end of June this year. The car is equipped with a 1.5 liter petrol engine with a capacity of 113 hp. Of. and two gearbox options – a 5-speed “mechanics” or a variator. The price starts from the same 1.7 million rubles for the MCP option. In the top configuration, the sedan costs about 1.9 million rubles.
Those who do not want to wait can now buy Jetta VA3, for example. The Jetta brand is a sub-brand of Volkswagen for the Chinese market. VA3 is a model similar in performance characteristics to the well-known VW Polo in Russia. The car is transported under parallel import arrangements from the Middle Kingdom. Variant with a 1.5 liter petrol engine with an output of 112 hp. Of. and a five-speed manual transmission can be purchased for 1.65 million rubles.
Speaking of relatively inexpensive cars, it is impossible to ignore one of the most affordable “Chinese” in Russia at the moment – Haval Jolion. The price starts from a slightly higher bar – 1.9 million rubles. But here we are no longer talking about a sedan, but about a more “prestigious” crossover body. And the engine of the “Julien” will be more powerful – 143l.s. The drive in this starting configuration is front only and the gearbox is a six-speed “mechanics”.
Among the “state officials” currently represented on the domestic market, the “Iranians” cannot be missed. For example, the Iran Khodro Dena+ sedan is offered by dealers for about 1.5 million rubles. At the same time, the car has a 1.7-liter “engine” with a capacity of 150 horsepower under the hood. with., and she herself is very well equipped: cruise control, rear view camera, air conditioning …
The JAC S3 model is considered even more affordable. This Chinese pseudo-crossover is offered to customers at a price of 1.4 million rubles. It has a 1.6-liter petrol engine with 109 hp and a 6-speed “mechanics” as standard. In the “top” model is equipped with a CVT transmission and all the fun – from 1.6 “lyama”. Do you dare?..
