The traffic police disgraced themselves, the LADA Vesta went up in price, queues for the electric car Atom: results of the week

It cannot be said that the first week of October was eventful, but something did happen in the country’s automotive life. For example, AVTOVAZ announced the launch of a simplified LADA Granta, Geely announced prices for the updated Coolray and Atom boasted about the volume of pre-orders. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Trade revealed details of the state program of preferential loans for 2024, the capital’s Ministry of Transport announced the expansion of the paid parking zone in Moscow, and the traffic police experienced a serious technical failure. All details are in the video review of the AvtoVzglyad portal.

AVTOVAZ has expanded the list of equipment for LADA Vesta. The flagship in the Enjoy version has a rear view camera, and in the Techno a camera and a roof painted in a contrasting color. The equipment list for the Life version has been supplemented with multimedia with microphone and hands-free function. But at the same time, of course, prices also rose. But on the LADA Granta, which lost some of its options, prices actually fell.

However, it seems that our fellow citizens are more interested in another domestic novelty – the electric car Atom. Imagine: in two months the manufacturer collected no fewer than 36,000 pre-orders. And this is for a car that is still being tested and will go on sale in two years at best. Who are all these people? How did a dubious project manage to attract so many potential buyers?

Be that as it may, Atom’s management decided to stop at 36,000 customers – accepting pre-orders was closed. But at Geely, on the contrary, it opened up. The Chinese have introduced the updated Coolray on the Russian market. The newcomer differs from its predecessor, which will remain in showrooms under the Belarusian brand BelGee, in terms of appearance, interior design, four-cylinder engine and a higher price.

On the other hand, what is cheap now? Buying a new car is really difficult. However, there is a ghostly hope that next year it will become a little easier to buy a new car – the Ministry of Industry and Trade will allocate twice as much money to subsidize the preferential car loan program. Why is hope an illusion? Yes, because the Ministry of Industry and Trade cannot simply do anything for the people, this department has pitfalls and nuances everywhere.

In addition to other important news – the news that the capital’s Ministry of Transport will again increase the rates for paid parking, this will happen on November 7. Specific streets and prices have not yet been mentioned, but they promise that prices will not exceed the current maximum of 450 rubles. From the same day, the paid parking zone will be expanded to 20 streets. And next week, October 15, forced evacuation services will become more expensive…

And more about these and other most interesting events in the country’s automotive life over the past week – in the video overview of the AvtoVzglyad portal, which you can watch Here.
