The idea of buying an unsafe car, devoid of important means to protect the driver and passengers, as it turned out, does not bother domestic motorists at all.
Problems with the supply of components to Russian car factories, which began in the spring of 2022, as you know, resulted in almost catastrophic difficulties in the assembly of both foreign cars and domestic models. In fact, enterprises that previously produced cars of foreign brands on Russian territory have been standing for a long time, or are completing the assembly of the last cars from the remains of previously collected spare parts. And domestic car brands have nowhere to go: you can not put AVTOVAZ or UAZ on pause, “until better times”, as, for example, Korean or Japanese enterprises in our country. Authorities will not allow the many thousands of employees of the city-building auto giant Togliatti to be “hung in the air” indefinitely. Yes, and UAZ, which supplies its horse-drawn SUVs to government agencies, is also hard to imagine they’ve stopped.
In order to produce at least something for the Russian market, domestic factories joined forces and launched production (albeit not on a large scale) of versions of their cars devoid of electronic components that have become scarce. So AvtoVAZ has dumped LADA Granta and LADA Niva on the market, on which you can’t find ABS, airbags or the ERA-GLONASS unit. According to a practically similar scheme, UAZ also produces its patriot and other breads.
Until now, no one has found a reliable solution to the problems of supplying electronic components in the required quantity and in the required time to companies. Therefore, in the near future, the purchase of a new Russian car, even factory without ABS and airbags, will become more than a realistic prospect for many Russians. How acceptable to himself his compatriots motorists find, the portal “AvtoVzglyad” decided to find out with the help of a survey of our visitors.
We asked a question that sounded like this: “Are you ready to buy cars without ABS and airbags?” In total, more than 1,600 people responded to it. Among them, the largest part – 45% (742 respondents) are absolutely not afraid of cars without security systems. That’s why they chose the answer: “I’ve been driving in Zhiguli half my life and I don’t see anything wrong.”
Consider it possible to buy the same Granta without ABS and airbags if the market offers nothing else, another 21% of the survey participants (351 people). And only 33% of respondents (549 visitors to the AvtoVzglyad portal), at least in the current circumstances, are not ready to buy cars that have become less safe. Thus, at least 66% of Russians are potential buyers of LADA Granta, LADA Niva and UAZ “Patriot”, without ABS, airbags and ERA-GLONASS emergency call unit. Well, we’re used to…
