Everyone knows that after the well-known events, foreign car manufacturers who have supplied premium models to the Russian market have actually frozen the shipment of new cars. However, some of the “luxury” we still sell. The AvtoVzglyad portal decided to take an interest in the state of affairs in our open spaces …
The calendar that has passed in the middle of the year is an excellent opportunity to review some of the results of the work of car dealers and assess the situation in the country’s car market with the help of objective figures. In connection with the sanctions cases, most of the premium brand model lines fell under the restrictions of Western countries regarding Russia. It has been illegal for some time to bring cars more expensive than 50,000 euros to our country. In addition, many car brands have stopped supplying their products on their own initiative, fearing possible accusations of ‘collaboration with Putin’.
As a result, the sale of brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus and Audi has stopped. In recent months, their sales in our country amounted to almost a few units per month – they sell cars accidentally “strewn” in showrooms. And Cadillac generally waved its hand three months ago and hasn’t sold anything to the Russians since. Oddly enough, but almost the only “premium” that didn’t drop sales (by today’s standards, of course) was the Korean Genesis. For example, in June the brand sold only half as much as in February of this year. Against the background of a decline in sales in comparable time intervals for the same Audi (by 80-90%), we can say that the “premium” of Hyundai in Russia is flourishing frankly.
However, the leaders in sales for the six months of 2022 in the segment of premium crossovers are now not Koreans, but Germans – excluding BMW and Mercedes-Benz. They just slowly sell their stocks from Russian warehouses. No new deliveries from Germany!
But still: semi-annual statistics claim that among the premium “crosses” sold in six months, most of the BMW X5 – 1865 pieces. The suggested retail prices for this crossover start at 6.1 million rubles for a car with a 230 hp 2-liter diesel engine. Of. And for the top-class BMW X5 with a 3-litre petrol diesel engine with an output of 400 hp. Of. will need at least 9.8 million rubles.
“To whom is war, and to whom is mother dear”: In second place in our TOP-5 of the most popular premium crossovers was the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz all-wheel drive line – GLS with a result of 1201 units. The minimum price (from the series “by pull”, for itself) – 14.5 million rubles – for a three-liter diesel engine of 330 horsepower under the hood. But the right “guys” do not trade for such nonsense and immediately buy a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 – as much as 21.9 million rubles. Four liter petrol engine with a capacity of 557 liters. Of. price included.
However, buyers disassemble the more budgetary Mercedes-Benz GLE relatively well – selling at the level of 1145 units in six months. So 9 million rubles for the basic version of the GLE 300 D 4MATIC Sport with a 2-liter diesel engine with a volume of 250 liters. Of. some of our fellow citizens don’t stop at all. And some people are not ashamed of the price “from 11.5 million”. for the most expensive variant – the Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4MATIC Sport Plus, equipped with a three-liter petrol engine with a capacity of 367 liters. Of.
Slightly less, 1111 cars sold in six months, demonstrated the Bavarian BMW X6. To buy it, you will need at least 7.1 million rubles – for a version with a 3-liter diesel engine with a volume of 250 liters. Of. And the price tag for the top-of-the-range BMW X6 M50i, with a 4.4-liter gasoline engine of about 530 “horses”, starts from 10.3 million rubles.
Close our TOP-5 of the best-selling premium crossovers in Russia is another BMW – X7. They sold 1075 copies in six months. With a standard SUV brand “base” diesel engine with a power of 250 hp. from the price of a car starts from 9.4 million and for a “topchik” with a 4.4-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 530 liters. Of. will have to pay at least 12.3 million.
