The main criterion when choosing a Chinese car is not only brand awareness but also price. In this respect reports Prime Minister’s agency, citing automobile expert Yegor Vasiliev. The cost of an acceptable car from China should be within 3 million rubles.
“Lower-cost cars can upset their owners due to their inability to cope with certain driving modes or lack relevant and important options,” the expert explained. But anything more expensive than 3-3.5 million will most likely be at a good European level and will not cause much trouble,” said the auto expert.

For example, in early and mid-2023, Chinese dealers were actively importing the Volkswagen Bora sedan to Russia. However, the car subsequently disappeared from domestic showrooms. According to the manager of one of the Moscow dealers, there are no plans to import the model in the future. The remaining Volkswagen Bora has become more expensive: if earlier the car could be purchased for 2.4 million rubles, now the price starts from 2.6 million rubles.
But the cost of some models fell in February: for example, the Chinese crossover Soueast DX8S can now be purchased for 2.2 million rubles instead of the previous 2.6 million rubles.
