The president of the company Maxim Sokolov, in the frame of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, told how many cars AVTOVAZ plans to produce at the St. Petersburg plant. Already next year the volumes promise to become quite serious.
The start of car assembly at the former Nissan site is scheduled for Saturday, June 17. Recall that now it is Lada St. Petersburg LLC. The first is the urban crossover LADA X-Cross 5, presented at the SPIEF. And in the next two years, two more models will join the SUV.
According to the top manager, in 2024 from 30,000 to 35,000 cars in St. Petersburg will roll off the assembly line. And in 2025 the numbers will rise to 50,000 cars. In principle, it will not be so difficult to do this, since we are talking about the SKD assembly of the “Chinese”. Let’s say that LADA X-Cross 5 is nothing but a clone copy of FAW Bestune T77. It has been for sale with us since the end of 2021. It is likely that Asians will soon remove SUVs from their range so as not to create competition.
The next one will most likely be the Bestune B70 liftback. He has already been noticed in Tolyatti. Thus, in general, FAW can transfer its entire passenger segment to AVTOVAZ, and the representative office will focus on the sale and maintenance of commercial vehicles, which are quite widespread in Russia.
