Be afraid, LADA: cheap foreign cars that arrived in Russia through parallel imports
Through the rubber window of parallel imports, tons of models of different classes and different price categories are still imported into Russia. Inexpensive foreign cars deserve special attention, designed to surpass even the flagship LADA Vesta. The AvtoVzglyad portal got acquainted with the most curious of them.

Relax: we will not tell you about the obsolete crafts of the Iranian brand Iran Khodro, which decided to expand to Russia.

Better to focus on cars that really deserve respect. In addition, in terms of value for money, they can easily beat the LADA Vesta, which is so popular with our brother, which today simply cannot be bought for less than 2,000,000 rubles. However, judge for yourself.

TOYOTA WIGO

This car was developed by Toyota in collaboration with Daihatsu, which does not make it worse, on the contrary. Restyling gave the archaic model climate control, as well as a large touchscreen monitor of the multimedia complex, which, by the way, was also updated in terms of software. The ergonomic interior is quite ascetic, but the components and assemblies tested by experience do not cause any complaints.

By the way, under the hood of the hatchback a 1.2-liter petrol engine has settled, combined with a four-speed automatic transmission.

Price: from 1,500,000 rubles.

ATTRACTION OF MITSUBISHI

Externally, the car is certainly better than its predecessor, but the interior is absolutely “top”. In the cabin you will see leather seats, carbon trim elements, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, air conditioning, heated seats and an audio system with a Bluetooth module.

The Japanese sedan is powered by a 1.2-liter engine mated to a continuously variable transmission.

Price: from 1,550,000 rubles.

CHEVROLET MONZA

If anyone does not know, then this is the Lacetti rebranded for the Chinese market – a model that was once incredibly popular in Russia. As they say, welcome back! The overseas novelty flaunts a pair of gasoline engines operating in the power range from 113 to 163 “horses”, and a six-band “automatic” and “preselective” are offered as gearboxes.

Among the joys of being, it should be noted an interactive dashboard, a rear-view camera, a system for monitoring objects in the “blind” zones, as well as heating anything and everything.

Price: from 1,700,000 rubles.

NISSAN SUNNY

The revived model of the Japanese brand does not shine with a touch of design, but does not cause complaints about the build quality and abundance of functionality. The car, based on the Nissan Juke trolley, flaunts powerful accessories, an air conditioning system, a rear view camera and a multimedia entertainment center that understands the language of smartphones. In addition, the car has a sliding roof, a decent sounding audio system and an electric handbrake that automatically bites the brake pads.

As for the engine compartment, a 108-horsepower 1.5-liter gasoline engine is “registered” in it. Together with him, the “automatic” from Jatco, which has proven itself over the years, works together.

Price: from 1,735,000 rubles.

JETTA VA3

And this is Volkswagen disguised in the Chinese market, although it has nothing to do with the German Jetta model. The Asian sedan was based on the platform of the previous Skoda Rapid, and in terms of equipment, the car has climate control, diode optics, rain, light and parking sensors, as well as an extensive set of security systems.

The engine compartment was occupied by a 1.5-liter aspirated gasoline engine producing 112 horsepower, and a six-speed hydromechanical “automatic” from Aisin performs a duet with it.

Price: from 1,750,000 rubles.
