While AvtoVAZ brings new, old models to the market, the Chinese promise more than they deliver. That doesn’t stop them from putting indecent price tags, though, even on those new items that haven’t even hit showrooms yet. Meanwhile, the Russian authorities are tightening penalties for drivers – to prison terms and confiscation of cars. Learn more in the weekly video summary of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
The anti-crisis LADA Granta finally got air conditioning. True, for the much-needed option in the summer you will have to pay almost 70,000 rubles. In the most popular car, we remember, there is no ABS, airbags and the ERA-GLONASS module. The Niva Legend also received a similar “ragged” package this week – dealers are asking 800,000 rubles for a simplified SUV.
Meanwhile, AVTOVAZ is trying in every way to lower prices, UAZ, on the contrary, raises them. Now some dealers offer “Patriot” for as much as 3 million rubles – that is twice as expensive as before the crisis. However, the Russians have alternative options, for example the same Chinese cars. And there are more and more: in the outgoing week, sales of two “heavenly” new products started at the same time. Although the GAC GS5 can only be called a novelty with a large stretch …
By the way, the Chinese are not going to slow down: they are preparing a whole series of surprises for the Russians. Among them is the crossover for young people Jetour Dasheng that Chery developed together with Huawei. They promise that an SUV similar in size to the popular Toyota RAV4 will become very affordable. Well, for those ready to step out, Chery will be offering a hybrid modification of the flagship Tiggo 8 Pro.

The only significant thing that happened was that amendments came into force that tightened the penalties for disenfranchised drivers. Henceforth, an offender without “rights” who is repeatedly caught for the same offense (for example, drink-driving or “oncoming traffic”) will be fined at least 150,000 to 200,000 rubles and go to prison at most. up to 2 years. However, he also risks losing the car.
