Our regiment has arrived: the Russians have found a new alternative to LADA Largus
Talking about restoring the assembly and new deliveries of LADA Largus seems a bit vague for one reason: the price of the car today exceeds all reasonable and unreasonable limits. After all, there is much more comfortable, reliable and — attention! is a cheap alternative. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.

In 2011, one of the most functional LADA models, Largus, was presented for the first time at the Interauto show. The B0 platform – the ingenious and all-forgiving Logan, with a tool like that of the Mir station – coupled with the space, both in the form of a van and a passenger station wagon, made the car an instant hit by organizing queues .

Then and for many years after, it was perhaps the most logical and reasonable model of the Zhiguli. But 11 years have passed and the “stuff” is still there. You can go even harder – “cart” costs from 1,300,900 to 1,511,900 excluding dealer surcharges! One and a half million rubles for the successor of the “four”? Transporting fruit and parcels in a car that was as expensive as a Camry a few months ago? Let’s leave this matter to the rich state-owned enterprises, and the humble worker needs something cheaper. And preferably more reliable. And with a gun. AND…

Basically, the owner of three stacks of “fives” tied with an elastic band may not want to choose “Largus”. For him, two piles is too much, and three is just too much. In addition, in the nearest car market for this amount you can buy two cars that are similar in functionality, but much more richly equipped and ten times more reliable. Yes, with a gun, air conditioning and everything. If you’re lucky – even with four-wheel drive. It’s called Mazda Familia Van and it’s been produced since 2018. Customs checkpoint. Let’s count now.

What we have: In 2018, Mazda befriended Toyota and as a result of the union, a new generation of Mazda Familia Van was born, which used to be the meat of the flesh of the Nissan AD. The new car is equipped with only one and a half liters of gasoline engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning and other pleasures of life. It has an understated, non-luxurious appearance, but a chic light – large cup main optic – and a luxurious suitcase with an indicated load capacity of 450 kg. Basically, this is a Toyota Probox with a Mazda badge on the grille and steering wheel.

The new Mazda Familia Van will cost from 726,153 to 857,225.9 Russian rubles. Another 411,469 rubles will cost “customs”, and about 200,000 rubles – logistics and customs clearance. In total we have: 1,468,694.9 rubles for a new car in the maximum possible configuration. Yes, it is cheaper than Largus, just with an automatic transmission and the reliability of a Japanese car made for the domestic market!

But this is not the end yet. A passing car – from three to five years old – with a mileage of 74,000 km and an auction mark of “4” – small scratches and chips, such UAZs are new in the cabin – it costs 900,000 rubles. We add to this the consumption of 4-6 liters on the highway and a lot of options. The only drawback is the right-hand drive, but this factor does not matter for city delivery, the driver will get used to it in a few hours. There are cars available, and in quite a wide variety and variations all over Russia, and not just in Primorye, so owning a foreign car for sound money is as easy as peeling pears.
