Let’s start with the most, probably, most important news of recent days: the entry of the Iranian brand Saipa into the Russian market. The first batch of thousands of Saina and Shahin sedans, as well as Quik hatchbacks, will arrive in our country in May, but sales will not start until June. Prices have not yet been named, but representatives of the distributor company have promised that prices will be between 1 and 1.7 million rubles.
Those who prefer a domestic car to a technically outdated “Iranian” will certainly be pleased with the news that AVTOVAZ has started life tests of LADA Vesta NG with a continuously variable transmission. True, there are no details – it is not even known which CVT manufacturer the Volga residents agreed with. Although there are not many options, it is obvious that the Chinese will be the supplier of the gearbox.
Yes, without “heavenly” partners now nowhere. And that applies not only to the car industry, but also to the car market: manufacturers from China continue to import their new products to us. For example, this week Exeed held a private presentation of the AtlantiX crossover, which will be marketed in Russia under the name RX. And representatives of the premium sub-brand Chery talked about the Russian prospects for their latest sedan.
And another piece of good news: Hyundai’s engine plant is restarting in St. Petersburg. The workers who avoided layoffs are already returning to full-time work. However, it is still unclear how the Koreans managed to solve the problem with the supply of parts. It is not clear where this company will ship the engines – most likely to Kazakhstan, but who knows.
Speaking of car factories in St. Petersburg. The Toyota site, abandoned by the Japanese, passed to the US – as happened with the Renault and Nissan enterprises, when the alliance decided to part with Russia. Under the agreement, details of which were not disclosed, the institute received the rights to the building, equipment and land. But what will happen to this wealth now is a big question.
And the last important news of the past week is that the regional authorities and manufacturers of automatic restraint complexes have made even more dubious proposals. Firstly, to increase the statute of limitations for traffic offenses from the current two to twelve months. Secondly, to allow the installation of cameras not only in the centers of accidents, but also in those places where the concentration of accidents can be predicted. Third, to return fines for exceeding the average speed, which haunt the “room lobby”.
And in more detail about the main events in the automotive life of the country in recent days – with all the details and the most honest comments – in the video review of the AvtoVzglyad portal, which you can watch Here.
