BAIC currently sells the U5 Plus sedan in Russia, which is a rival to the Hyundai Elantra. In addition, the X35 crossovers (Hyundai Creta rival) began to arrive at dealerships. However, not all car dealerships carry this car. According to the analysis agency Avtostat, only one car of the Chinese brand BAIC was sold in Russia in April 2023.
It should be noted that during the year the demand for Chinese cars in Russia has increased significantly, not only due to the replacement of “sanctioned” brands that have disappeared from the market, but also due to the active improvement of the quality of Chinese cars that are not inferior to world manufacturers, successful marketing campaigns and affordable prices for cars. According to forecasts, this trend is growing and gaining momentum.
