Car owners are lucky: how Peugeot and Citroen “made” competitors in Russia.
After the events of February 22, many car brands left Russia, and this round dance started quite unexpectedly by Renault. Having demonstrated the speed of response and the true attitude to his client, “Romb” handed over responsibilities to LADA and was like that. But from other French people – from the camp of Peugeot and Citroën – there has been no news for a year. Or actually almost none. What is happening now with these brands in our country, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.

Visits to dealers on Saturdays have already become a tradition for the AvtoVzglyad portal, since today world news in the automotive industry can only be obtained in the fields. The representations that have remained in Russia have taken an amorphous position and want only one thing: to be remembered less often. Meanwhile, the market continues to change. And not only in the Chinese segment.

The Citroën brand has been silent for almost a year: no passionate layoff announcements, no sedatives about working through. Period “Simple conveyor belt due to logistical difficulties”. What happens behind the Kaluga gates, whether new cars come to Russia, what about spare parts and a warranty is a secret. But only until you visit the salon.

And the further from Moscow the same salon is located, the more talkative the staff becomes. Therefore, we learned a lot of interesting things about the fate of the “double chevron” in Russia, having driven only a little more than a hundred kilometers from the Mother See. What were we told?

For example, the fact that Citroen has everything in order with spare parts and with warranty. The dealers have everything you need for service and the representation is extremely loyal – compared to other car brands, the French brand’s office does not shy away from its obligations and carefully studies the issues of warranty claims. But this is far from the most interesting.

There are – and it should be noted – many new C5 Aircross crossovers, which are completely calm, without any hype in showrooms and parking lots. Come pick up, don’t know the problems with the warranty and service. The price is from 3,288,000 rubles for a front-wheel drive car in the Feel configuration with a 1.6-liter 150-horsepower two-stage gasoline engine. And for registration of trade-in and credit, they also promise significant discounts. Just like in the good old days!

By the way, this crossover is not the only inhabitant of showrooms. Dealer employees said that in the near future, literally in a few weeks, they are waiting for a batch of Berlingo “chops”: it can be purchased at a price of 2,500,000 rubles. Judging by the Multispace prefix, we are talking about the products of the Kaluga plant “PSMA Rus”, which, it turns out, is not so idle. But when we asked about the Spacetourer and Jumpy vans, as well as the big Jumper, our interlocutors refused to answer – that’s not the point.
