As a result, UAZ is now forced to buy Russian, Chinese, Turkish and Belarusian counterparts instead of imported components. It turned out to be significantly more expensive than the “original”! Overall, the cost of domestic brand cars increased by 32% due to sanctions, mainly due to logistics, which rose sharply by 60%.

– We are all much calmer when we work with a purely Russian supplier. Even an analogue in a friendly country is still a long logistics. We don’t have many destinations left – China and Turkey. In the long term, we need to look at what can be done as much as possible in Russia,” Mr Shirinov said.

The head of the car factory does not speak directly, but it can be assumed that Ulyanovsk SUVs will soon increase in price. For reference, we note that the most affordable “Patriot” now in theory costs 1,545,000 rubles. However, as the AvtoVzglyad portal found out, cars are offered at car dealers for 3,000,000 rubles each.

By the way, Uaziks may soon have a very formidable competitor – the Strela frame SUV, the release of which is now being considered by the United Machine-Building Group (it also owns the Ural plant). However, our editors will devote separate material to this novelty.
