It has become known when cars will become more expensive after the growth of utilization fee​

Taking into account the fact that all market players have a considerable number of new cars in their warehouses, one can probably not worry about price increase for another 3 - 4 months. This opinion was expressed to AUTOSTAT agency by Andrey Olkhovsky, General Director of AUTODOM Group of Companies.

"The price rise will be very selective and unsystematic. Most likely, we will be able to feel it only after the new year and even in March or April, when we will sell out the stocks of current warehouses. My forecast is that the prices will not be able to fully reflect the change in the utilization fee so that it will have a significant effect on the market. Most likely, importers will compensate for the change in the duty rate through various support programs", said Andrei Olkhovsky. Andrey Terlyukevich, General Director of AutoSpecCentre Group of Companies, also does not expect a sharp one-time increase in car prices, but in the horizon of 2 - 3 months assumes that most market players will make indexation, compensating for the increase in the rate of salvage duty.

"Taking into account that we do not expect a record increase in the cost of cars in October this year, but only a smooth rise in prices by 10 - 15% by the end of 2024, we also do not predict a significant decline in demand for cars purchase in the second autumn month", - sums up the head of dealer direction of automotive marketplace FRESH Evgeny Zhitnukhin.

Dmitry Kostromin, vice-president for sales and marketing of AVTOVAZ, told about what changes await LADA Niva family in his interview to Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Thus, it became known that in 2025, the cars LADA Niva Legend and Niva Travel will have a new engine with a volume of 1.8 litres. Recall that now LADA Niva cars are equipped with a 1.7-litre engine.

The top manager emphasized that the main thing for the company is not to spoil the legendary off-roader. The company plans to increase production of Niva Bronto cars, as they are popular with customers. It is also expected to produce Niva Sport. However, the vice-president noted that this is a niche product. As previously reported by AUTOSTAT agency, serial production of Niva Sport is scheduled for December this year. SUV will receive a 122-horsepower 1.6-litre engine from LADA Granta Sport, a seriously modified suspension and revised brakes.

In addition, there will be a number of changes in design - in particular, there will be 17-inch discs and some improvements in the interior. But fans of the off-roader should not expect an absolutely new Niva. AVTOVAZ does not plan to produce it. Dmitry Kostromin noted that now the classic Niva is in short supply.
