The Russian consumer will not see the Renault Duster crossover under the Lada brand. AvtoVAZ president Maxim Sokolov said the company has no plans to resume production.
He noted that the French side is not banning the production of its cars in Russia, but it is now economically viable.
For the production of Duster it is necessary to organize deep localization, which will require large funds. Therefore, the company decided to focus on other more profitable projects.
Renault sold Russian assets and exited the market in May last year. Production of all models of the brand in Russia is no longer carried out, and AVTOVAZ took over the service of already sold and still sold cars.
