Judge for yourself: since January 2023, almost 500,000 cars have been brought to us from China. In monetary terms this is approximately six billion “green”. Let’s say more: Russia is currently the largest import market for “heavenly” models in the world! And their share will only grow.
Yes, nothing can stop the guys from China – neither sanctions, nor exchange rate fluctuations, nor even the mediocre build quality of their products. So whether you like it or not, we only drive LADA and ‘Chinese’ cars. By the way, what interesting things have the Asians prepared for us in the middle of autumn?
As expected, the crossover ‘boom’ has occurred again, for which several car brands from China are responsible. So, in order. Let’s start with Geely, the brand that presented us with the updated Geely Coolray crossover. Company representatives call the SUV a new generation, but in fact the model has only undergone a restyling.
Although I must admit it is quite noticeable. Firstly, the Coolrey has increased its size, secondly, it has changed the design and thirdly, it has improved the ergonomics and interior design. The price tag for modernization is 2,600,000 rubles.
However, for those who did not have time to buy the pre-reform Coolray, there is the no less “gilish” Belgee X50, which comes to us directly from the Belgee factory in Belarus. Apart from new nameplates, nothing has changed on the car. But the price is pleasant – from 2,050,000 rubles, taking into account special marketing programs.
Motorinvest, which took over the distribution of Dongfeng passenger cars, presented the old new crossover DFM 580, which has a seven-seater cabin and the only luxury equipment. The rest of the car remained the same. If you do not take into account the increased price, which now amounts to 2,750,000 rubles.
Let’s move on. Many have probably already forgotten the existence of the Haima brand, which once sold parodies of the Japanese Mazda in Russia. It’s time to remember. In addition, during the years of absence from Russia, the brand learned to create original cars, and a vivid example of this was the new crossover with the letter 8S. This is an SUV that plays in the same field as Geely’s Atlas Pro and Chery’s Tiggo 7 Pro. It is gratifying that sellers for an indecent 3,200,000 offer a car with a completely healthy engine that produces as much as 195 horsepower. Of.
A few hundred thousand cheaper will be the new Jetour X70 Plus crossover, which has three rows of seats and a “turbo” of 190 “stallions”. The first crossover in the line of the previously unknown brand Jaecoo with the J7 index will cost the same. Let the engine be four “horses” weaker, but in the arsenal there is a smart all-wheel drive system, created according to Land Rover patterns and allowing the driver to choose from as many as seven driving modes.
Finally, for 2,755,000 you can buy a new BAIC X55 crossover, built using the facilities of the Kaliningrad Avtotor. A car in a fashionable coupe shape with many different comfort options and safety systems. Well, times have changed: the factory used to produce German BMWs and Korean Hyundai and Kia, but now BAIC.
But enough lyrics: take what they give…
