All-Russian smuggling contest: the best “Parallel novelty of the year” was chosen

The multiple reduction of officially present car brands in the Russian market did not lead to a decrease in the species diversity of cars sold. Parallel imports have successfully replaced officials and become a completely legitimate channel for the supply of cars to Russia. The AvtoVzglyad portal found out the preferences of Russians based on the results of adding up the results of the All-Russian online award “Parallel Novelty of the Year”. And they are somewhat daunting.

Within a month and a half, almost 134,000 people voted for the main premiere of “parallel import” in 2022. It is completely incomprehensible who these people are, since the choice they made seems surprising. Thus, the main novelty of 2022 was the Range Rover: almost 20% of the “experts” voted for it. He also took home the win in the “All-terrain novelty of the year” nomination. The question arises: who can afford to buy this palace on wheels and then also guess to go into the forest jungle with it? However, a choice is a choice.

The second place was taken by another SUV – Lexus LX with 13.6% of the vote, and “bronze” – by the crossover Kia Sportage – 12.8%. The title “Electric New of the Year” went to the BMW iX with 10.1% of respondents. In total, there were 11 new products in the list of nominated cars, including, as we recall, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Voyah Dreamer, Voyah Free, Hyundai Staria, Mitsubishi Outlander and Ioniq 5.

However, in addition to the will of the people, the “Parallel novelty of 2022” was also chosen by Russian car bloggers and journalists. 29 experts took part in the vote. And here, according to the AvtoVzglyad portal, the results look better. According to them, the main premiere of 2022 was the Chinese electric crossover Voyah Free, the second place was taken by the Nissan Pathfinder, the third was shared by the minivans Voyah Dreamer and Hyundai Staria.
