Automakers continue to raise prices for their products, and therefore the deputies propose to create a new, really popular car worth up to 500,000 rubles. Yes, so that it does not have to be recalled for review later – as the public activists are now proposing to do with LADA Granta. Meanwhile, the Chinese continue to actively attack: the next “heavenly” brand SWM revealed details about the first crossovers for the Russian market. And more about this and other important automotive news of recent days – in the video summary of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
The leader of the Just Russia – For Truth party, Sergei Mironov, proposed to create a really popular car worth up to 500,000 rubles. At the same time, he indicated not only the red price of such a machine, but also a number of characteristics that it should have. Only now it is extremely difficult to implement such an idea, which is why this whole story suggests that the initiator is concerned not so much with citizens, but with his image.
But a passenger car would be very useful, as the prices of brand new cars continue to rise. So this week, three automakers rewrote their price lists all at once. Namely LADA, UAZ and Chinese Tank, a sub-brand of Khaveil. The residents of Ulyanovsk were most surprised, who increased the cost of their handicrafts at once by 20%. Let’s say the most affordable “Patriot” now costs 1,330,000 rubles, although in April they asked 1,100,000 for it.
Speaking of domestic cars. The National Automobile Union sent a letter to AvtoVAZ president Maxim Sokolov with a proposal to withdraw the “simplified” LADA Granta. The ones that were sold and even still are sold in some places – without cushions, ABS and some other auxiliary systems. The union rightly believes that “anti-crisis” cars are extremely dangerous and therefore they should be equipped with the necessary equipment as part of a service campaign, ie free of charge for owners.
Well, now – to the “Chinese”. The official distributor of the new for Russia Chinese-Italian brand SWM revealed technical details about the machines for our country. This brand debuts with the crossovers G01 and G01F, in fact two versions of the same model: the difference is only in appearance, dimensions and ground clearance. But the prices, unfortunately, were not mentioned – they will probably not be published until closer to the start of sales. And it should take place before the end of May.
“But who needs these Chinese cars: not only will you suffer from them all the time, but you will not resell them,” you might say. But no, not all. The National Industrial Information Agency (NAPI) called “celestial” cars, which are slower than others to lose value in the secondary market. The top three are models that have dropped in price by only 18%, 19% and 26% from their original price. Agree, not bad.
