Recently, manufacturers from China have literally bombarded us with their new products. Finally, there are sedans. That’s just the price tags on it – significant. And what can you buy for this money on the secondary market? It turns out that, as the experts of the AvtoVzglyad portal found out, the choice is wide and varied.

Now dealers are competing for the new Asian four-door. Suppose, Kaiyi E5 and Omoda S5 have good equipment and cost at least 1,959,000 and 2,159,900 rubles, respectively. And we will add only 100,000 – 200,000 rubles and see what the second-hand market has to offer. And it turns out that for this money it is really possible to buy a D-class sedan at the age of only three or four years.

For example, Hyundai Sonata, under the hood of which a 2-liter 150-horsepower engine will work. Unfortunately, there is no other choice, because options with units of 2.5 liters are noticeably more expensive. The equipment list includes LED headlights, heating of all kinds, dual-zone climate control and front and rear parking sensors.

The platform Kia K5 fits into the same money. At the same time, there are noticeably fewer offers of “fives”. Here is the same engine, and in the configuration there are such advantages as a leather interior, an electric driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel, a keyless entry system and other “buns”.

The power unit of the G4NA series went to both “Koreans” from “Optima”. It is quite capable of withstanding more than 300,000 km, but subject to oil changes every 7,000 km, and not after 15,000. In the 6-speed “automatic” A6MF1, you should also regularly change the “slurry” and you will be satisfied .

Surprisingly, the Toyota Camry also made the list. Probably because the prices for the “Japanese” are not so high anymore. This allows you to purchase a pre-styling copy of model year 2019-2020 with the amount we have. There are cars of the Russian assembly with a 2-liter unit with a return of 150 troops, and “Americans” with a 203-horsepower engine. Everything else is more expensive.

This generation of Toyota finally gets a modern design, but the paintwork is thin. So there are a lot of chips on the body. Yes, and in the cabin with a mileage of less than 100,000 km, you can often see worn seats and leather on the steering wheel. We also note that all three models are very fond of taxi companies, so you need to inspect the “iron horse” with passion.

But Mazda6 taxi drivers are not in favor of it. Bright sedan usually bought for themselves. The Six is ​​distinguished by its fast appearance and sharp handling. However, you have to pay for all this. Four-year-old cars with more than 100,000 km are valued at 2,300,000 rubles. After spending so much money, the buyer receives a leather interior in light tones, power seats with memory settings, Bose music and adaptive headlights.

Finally, if there is a craving for real “Germans”, the seventh-generation Volkswagen Passat will suffice. True, the engine here is the most underpowered – 1.4 liters (122 hp). It works together with a seven-speed “robot”. The device is distinguished by its maslozhorom and requires much more attention than the older 1.8 liter (152 hp). But a car with such a “heart” does not fit into the budget. As for the equipment, it is richer than that of the competitors mentioned above. But in terms of technology, everything is not so great. The sedan is expensive to maintain and requires professional service. So maybe still a new “Chinese”?
