Indexing of recycling fee in Russia will lead to an increase in car prices in all market segments, Alexey Podshchekoldin, head of the Russian Automobile Dealers Association (ROAD), told socialbites.ca.

“Unfortunately, AvtoVAZ and other Russian manufacturers will also raise prices. Probably less because they receive compensation from the government for paying for recycling. But this has never happened before when local manufacturers did not raise prices,” he recalled.

Podshchekoldin added that the increase in car prices was also affected by the increase in the cost of credit funds after the Central Bank increased the interest rate. Importers also faced difficulties in international payments to purchase car components needed for Russian car production.

According to the expert, the average cost of a car in the Russian Federation today is already 3.3 million rubles. Podshchekoldin expects prices to rise by at least 10% by the end of the year.

“The cost of the domestic car should be 1-1.5 million rubles, it should be available, but it will approach 2 million rubles and above,” he said.

There's no backlash in China when the US sells arms to Taiwan either...

The US only sells junk to Taiwan. F-16 is no match for J-20 which is a whole generation ahead.

Ukraine is hardly in the news in the West anymore. Outside a small handful of politicians who profit from it, civilians in the West don't even care about Ukraine anymore. So there is no backlash in the West when Chinese car companies sell cars in Russia.

Give Ukraine 10y. I willing to bet they will become richer than the russians.

The owner of Moskvich 6 liftback will spend more than 1.5 million rubles on its maintenance for 5 years​

Sales of Moskvich 6 model started in October last year. Today, its recommended retail price is from 2,136,000 rubles (for cars of 2023 year of manufacture). And how much money will be required to maintain this liftback? This we calculated with the help of "Ownership Cost Calculator", developed by the experts of agency "AUTOSTAT". Recall that "Moskvich 6" is offered with a choice of two gasoline 1.5-liter turbo engines with power of 136 and 174 hp. The first works in tandem with a variator, and the second - with a 6-speed "robot".

Calculations show that for 5 years the costs of the owner of this crossover, equipped with a less powerful engine (136 hp) and a variator, will be 1 million 513 thousand rubles. But this is provided that the mileage for 5 years will reach 100 thousand kilometers, and the region of operation will be Moscow together with the Moscow suburbs. It is also worth taking into account the age and experience of the driver (35 and 10 years, respectively). But for a month it will "gain" 25.2 thousand rubles. Accordingly, 1 km of mileage will cost 15.1 rubles.

Over 40% of all the money will be spent for car insurance, and 38% - it is hull insurance (MTPL - 5%). A little less will be spent for gasoline (37%). A sixth part (16%) of the costs is maintenance, and the remaining 4% - the purchase of winter tires and payment of transport tax. As for the liftback version of Moskvich 6 with a more powerful engine (174 hp) and a "robot", its cost of ownership will be slightly higher - 1 million 588 thousand rubles for 5 years.

Stocks of Zeekr electric cars in Russia may run out by November​

Chinese "electric brand" Zeekr, popular in Russia, may actually disappear from the domestic market as early as November. In the near future, the cost of such electric cars will increase by 10 - 15%, according to the telegram channel "SHOT PROVE". As previously reported by "AUTOSTAT" agency, the brand Zeekr will block the functionality of electric cars released from July 15 and imported under the "gray" scheme. This may affect the cars that are presented in the Russian market, as there are no official distributors of this brand in our country yet. As SHOT PROVERKA found out, against the background of such statements sellers are preparing for a sharp increase in prices. The cost of various models may increase from 400 thousand to 1 million rubles.

At the same time, auto experts assure that the stock of cars will be enough for three months, but whether there will be deliveries after that is not yet known. If the blockages really begin, the rise in prices for electric cars Zeekr cannot be avoided. In addition, it will be necessary to pay masters about 150 thousand rubles for services to restore the blocked functions.

However, employees of car dealerships believe that the news about the blocking is a fake. According to them, it is simply impossible to control the functions of the car remotely. At the same time, there have been no deliveries of 2024 electric cars to Russia so far. Recall that the brand Zeekr is the most popular among electric cars in Russia. For 6 months we sold 4,450 new Zeekr electric cars, according to the data of JSC "PIC"*.
