In an incredibly short time, Chinese cars are no longer something dubious and incomprehensible to us. Today you will not disgrace yourself with a car from China and will not surprise you. Fact: the “heavenly” auto industry has actively flooded the Russian market, offering cars for every taste and budget.
Remarkably, with the rapid onslaught of the Asians, who in the foreseeable future risk turning the Chinese completely into monopolists in our car market, the consumer really has no choice. More precisely, it is: you can buy “China” cheaper or more expensive. Let’s talk about the most budgetary of the models.
JAC
You saw a gopher, didn’t you? And he is. Almost the same can be said about the compact crossover JAC S3, which seems to be on sale, but not much bought. Meanwhile, today it is the cheapest Chinese SUV. The recommended retail price for a car starts at 1,300,000 rubles.
Even if it looks like an old Hyundai ix35, and from the saloon it smells like archaism, but for that money you can’t even buy a domestic LADA Vesta these days. And here you are not only a foreign car, but also a crossover. The engine is undisputed and downright weak: 106 power forces were removed from a volume of 1.6 liters. However, it goes – and thank goodness. Another thing is you can find a car at dealerships, if you find it it’s 2019-2020 at best.
​FAW
The FAW Bestturn X80 crossover turned out to be not only the second most affordable Chinese SUV in Russia, but also the first with an automatic transmission. If an SUV with an automatic transmission costs a little more than 1,700,000 rubles, then on the “mechanics” it is possible to save almost 230,000. The engine is two liters and a whopping 142 “horses”. Just the same “gun race”!
But the compact “brother” FAW Bestturn X40 with a 108 hp engine, aggregated with a manual “five-speed gearbox”, will need at least 1,600,000 rubles. In fact, he took third place in the Russian market in terms of rising prices in the Chinese “rogue” sector.
CHERY
A little more than 1,700,000 rubles are asked by dealers for the smallest crossover in the Chery line – Tiggo 4. In addition to the five-door metal frame, consumers receive a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with 113 horsepower, coupled with a five-speed “mechanics”.
An additional payment for a more productive 147 hp engine and a robot box may lead you to opt for the “related” Chery Tiggo 4 PRO, recently introduced in Russia. It’s more beautiful, smarter and more technologically advanced. Start – from 2,050,000 rubles.
DFM
And this is the cheapest seven-seater crossover from China – Dongfeng 580, which can be purchased for 1,930,000 rubles. In addition, the car comes with a very solid warranty – no less than seven years. In addition to a spacious, if rather primitive interior, buyers get a 132 horsepower 1.8-liter aspirated engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission. However, there is a turbocharged unit, trained to work in tandem with the variator. But a car in this design will cost as much as 2,200,000 rubles.
CHANGAN AND GEELY
A little less than 2,000,000 rubles will be extracted from the wallet of the future owner of the Changan CS 35 Plus crossover. For this money, the buyer will receive a car with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, coupled with a six-speed “mechanics”. The “automatic” can also be friends with the same 128-horsepower engine, but you will have to pay at least 100,000 rubles for it.
The fashionable Geely Coolray crossover, which captivated the young crowd with its bold looks, eccentric interior and abundance of smart electronics, also has an estimated price. The car is powered by a 1.5 liter three-cylinder engine and the company is a proven preselective transmission.
HAVAL
Perhaps this is the most graceful and technically enriched car – the only Haval Jolion four-wheel drive crossover in our review, which, by the way, fell under the state program of preferential car loans. In addition, dealers began to offer additional discounts, with customers receiving 150,000 rubles each. In other words, with a suggested retail price of 2,030,000 rubles, you can save some extra money.
In terms of technology, things are generally good here. A healthy engine with a capacity of 143 liters. Of. designed to be friends with the “mechanics” that distribute traction to the front wheels. But the 150 horsepower unit is already accompanied by a “robot” that transfers torque to both axes. But the price tag for such a modification will certainly be 100,000 higher.
