For a year and a half, Toyota hovered on the edge, trying to stay in Russia “as a scarecrow or as a carcass.” There have been no new cars for fifteen months – deliveries are banned. But the number of the most beloved and popular Japanese sedans on the roads does not decrease. On the contrary, it is increasing. We are of course talking about the Camry. The model is imported through parallel imports, because there is demand, but prices do not stop. Those who want it will find the opportunity.

Surprisingly, the Camry is not the most popular car imported from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and other “friendly countries.” Here there is more of a competition between SUVs: Pajero versus Prado. The reason, of course, is the price: the “camryuha” is expensive. Before the introduction of the recycling contribution, there were 3.5 million versions. The price now is – just add ₽840,000. In total we have about 5 million per car. And they pay off!

Of course, these cars do not go into taxis – it is more profitable to take a “Chinese” car. A simple calculation suggests that it is not financially feasible to install such cars in “comfort+” now. Will the Camry return to taxi companies? Yes, if the aggregator brings new cars to the market to replace Mercedes.

Experts on parallel imports, interviewed by the AvtoVzglyad portal, are convinced that Camry was, is and will be. A new generation will appear and immediately come to the Russian Federation, the class of sedan fans is too strong. Hybrid or classic petrol version? Obviously an honest combustion engine. The age and status of the buyer do not imply a game of innovation. And the mileage on a Toyota Camry is traditionally high, so there will be no experiment. But there will definitely be a new product in Russia: there are already requests for purchase estimates. No one will give up their favorite sedan, and talk about the poverty of Russians is somewhat exaggerated. We are not the poor, but the poor. This is more accurate.
