While the former factories of Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz are preparing for a restart, Avtotor is putting new “Chinese” on the assembly line: production of two more “heavenly” models started this week. Meanwhile, analysts are scrutinizing their resale values, citing China’s most profitable crossovers in terms of further resale, and insurers continue to “football” drivers seeking OSAGO compensation. Read more about this and other news of the outgoing week in the video overview of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
But let’s start with something else – with ours. Production of LADA Largus vans and station wagons has resumed in Togliatti. By the end of the month, the factory plans to produce 650 vehicles, including several dozen kits for a trial batch of electric e-Largus. And then the assembly of the model will stop until the middle of next year. All due to the fact that it will be transferred – from Tolyatti to Izhevsk.
The plant in Avtotor Kaliningrad is also gaining momentum – recently they launched mass production of JMC pickups, as well as mid-sized crossovers BAIC X55. As for the latter – something that is sure to generate a lot of interest from potential buyers – sales have not officially started yet and prices are still unknown. Overall, Avtotor plans to put seven more Baiks on the assembly line by the end of this year.
It seems that soon other car assembly sites will revive. So, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that the former Volkswagen plant in Kaluga could restart before the end of this year, and the enterprise in the Moscow region, formerly owned by Mercedes-Benz, in 2024 But it’s not yet clear which cars will be on the assembly line.
All right, let’s take a look. Meanwhile, about the residual value of Chinese crossovers. The ones that are officially sold in Russia today. The results of another study have been published: analysts compared the current prices of used cars that have already celebrated their third birthday with the price at which they were bought at a car dealer. And the most profitable model from this point of view, oddly enough, was Changan CS35 Plus.
And finally social news. The Russian Union of Motor Insurers (RSA) has published a ranking of regions where drivers most often have to sue insurance companies for OSAGO payment denials. Thus, the Republic of Mari El became its leader. The second place was taken by the Primorsky Territory, the third – by the Novosibirsk region.
