Sales of new cars in Russia could reach one million by the end of the year. While in 2022 only 687,000 were sold.
“We expect that by the end of the year the market could be replenished with 780-800,000 new cars. It all depends on the number of official brands that will be imported, the number of factories that will produce in Russia and the exchange rate of the European, American and Chinese currency”, quotes RBC Petersburg, Sergey Bertov, head of centralized supply of the Rolf car. department.
If at first dealers rushed to bring unique Chinese cars, now they have realized the impossibility of successfully selling goods in Russia due to the lack of after-sales service, warranty and spare parts warehouse . According to the expert, the marginality on parallel imports is falling – purchases have increased in price due to a jump in the exchange rate. However, dealers can’t dramatically raise car prices because consumers simply won’t buy them.
Ultimately, Russians will prefer to buy a car from an authorized dealer with a warranty, Bertov concluded.
Previously, experts listed two dozen cars that could drive a distance of up to 400,000 km without significant breakdowns.
