Perhaps the most significant news of the past week was the approval by experts of an updated list of faults and conditions that prohibit the operation of the car. The document has already been sent to the government for approval and is likely to come into force soon, which means that soon the penalties for driving “broken” cars will become stricter. However, there were other significant events, which the AvtoVzglyad portal details in the video review.

The Department of Industry and Commerce has amended the terms of the state’s preferential auto loan program. So if earlier medical workers, families with at least two children and those buying a car for the first time could count on discounts when buying new cars, then in the 23rd year the list also included military personnel, military retirees and those who raised a child. But the most curious thing is that now not only LADA, GAZ and UAZ, but also Haval are included in the program.

Those who are not ready to buy “our brands” or “Chinese”, can take a closer look at the car novelties that arrived in Russia through parallel imports. For lovers of brutal off-road vehicles, “gray” dealers offer SsangYong Rexton Sports, luxury SUVs – electric Lotus Eletre. In addition, the relatively inexpensive crossover Jetta VS5, the Chinese analogue of the Skoda Karoq, has already appeared in the showrooms.

And if you are not going to buy anything, and you already have your own “wheels”, then you may be interested to know that mobile applications of car brands are beginning to “die” in Russia. We are talking about those utilities that allow you to remotely control some functions of the machine – start the engine, unlock the doors, track your location and so on.

Owners of LADA cars may not have to worry about turning off the mobile application, but the maintenance costs of official dealers will increase for them. AVTOVAZ increased recommended prices for works – on average their costs increased by 4.5% for the model range.

Finally, the outgoing week will be remembered for the “terrible” forecast of the Russian Automobile Dealers Association (ROAD). They are confident that the domestic new car market will fall by more than 40% in the first quarter of this year – that is, car dealers will sell less than 150,000 cars in three months.

Well, more about the main events of the past few days – in the video summary of the AvtoVzglyad portal, which you can watch here.
