GAC has started test assembly of its models in St. Petersburg?​

Several automotive media reported that Chinese automaker GAC has started test large-unit assembly of its models at the AGR plant in St. Petersburg. There is no official confirmation of this yet, but it looks quite logical. Recall that this plant used to produce Korean cars Kia and Hyundai, then the plant went into a long downtime. The assembly was restored only in February of this year after the change of owners, when the conveyors were loaded with cars of the new brand Solaris. Essentially, these are the same Hyundai Solaris and Creta, Kia Rio and Rio X models, assembled from the remaining car kits and now given different names. From February to June 2024, more than 10.5 thousand cars rolled off the assembly line of the enterprise. With such volumes, it is logical to assume that a new contract assembly partner for AGR would not be superfluous.

As for the interests of GAC, in 2024 the brand management plans to expand the model lineup in Russia and further develop the dealer network in order to strengthen its position in the market. The assembly of cars in Russia with good sales volumes can give GAC an advantage over competitors, especially against the background of the expected rise in prices for new cars in the autumn (due to the upcoming indexation of the recycling fee). The main question is whether the brand will be able to ensure high sales volumes in conditions of parallel imports allowed in Russia and tough competition with its Chinese "brothers". Recall that currently the model lineup of GAC is represented in our country by a new-generation crossover GS8, premium minivan GAC M8 and compact crossover GAC GS3. In addition, GS4 Max crossover is expected in the Russian market by the end of 2024. We should note that from January to July 2024, 8857 new GAC cars were sold in our country. This is almost 16 times more than a year ago. Such data are given by experts of "AUTOSTAT" agency with reference to JSC "PIC"*.

The auto loan market showed double-digit growth in July. What will happen next?​

Experts of "AUTOSTAT" agency told about the situation on the market of car loans and its further prospects. Thus, in July the volume of issued loans for purchase of new passenger cars increased by 18% in units and by 21%, in money in compare with June. At the same time, the opposite situation was observed a month earlier, when the car loan market demonstrated a decline (by 18% and 10%, respectively).

A similar picture was observed in the loan market of used cars. Thus, in July we also see a double-digit growth (by 15% in vehicles and 18% in money) to the indicators of a month ago, although in June negative dynamics was recorded (-1% and -3% respectively). Sergey Udalov, Executive Director of "AUTOSTAT" agency, explains the growth of car loans in July by the expectation of Central Bank key rate growth at that time.

Recall that the Central Bank on July 26 increased the key rate from 16% to 18%. This decision was expected by many market participants, prompting buyers to take loans more actively before this event and the subsequent increase in interest rates.

In the first half of year, the weighted average price of a new car increased by 14%, price of used car - by 19%​

At the end of the first half of 2024, the weighted average price of a new passenger car in Russia amounted to 3.16 million rubles, used - 1.17 million rubles. Such data were announced by experts of "AUTOSTAT" agency. They note the continuing growth of this indicator in both segments of the car market. Thus, in relation to the first half of last year, the weighted average price of a new passenger car increased by 14%, and the used car - by 19%. At the same time, it grew earlier, for example, in 2020-2023.

If the weighted average price in the market of new cars only this year crossed the 3-million-ruble threshold (cumulative total), in the secondary market it has exceeded 1 million rubles for the second year. However, we should remind that if we look at the month-by-month breakdown, this indicator for new cars in May amounted to less than 3 million Rubles, and in June it has not yet risen above this mark. This is due to the change in the structure of sales of new passenger cars. But due to rather high results of the previous months, the weighted average price exceeds 3 mln Rubles in the whole half-year.

Note: for new passenger cars, the weighted average price is calculated based on the average values of the distributor's recommended prices and sales for each model, taking into account modifications (engine displacement, drive, transmission, body). But for used cars, it is calculated based on the market volume by model and year of manufacture, but without taking modifications into account.
