Cars of Chinese brands were not in demand among car thieves in Russia. In this respect reports According to data of the Soglasie insurance company “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”. Over the past few years, the organization has never recorded cases of theft of a model from the Middle Kingdom among its customers.
“Chinese automakers are significantly increasing their sales share in the Russian market. For example, in our company alone, the share of new Chinese vehicles insured under car insurance at the end of 2023 increased almost 2.5 times compared to the previous year. It is worth noting that in almost 90% of cases, cars are stolen for disassembly and subsequent sale of components. Representatives of the Chinese automobile industry, entering the Russian market, simultaneously supplied a large amount of spare parts and also gave a warranty of 5-7 years. These factors minimize the demand for parts for Chinese cars on the black market, and theft of cars in this category is impractical,” explained Pavel Nefedov, director of the company’s insurance and product management department.
The insurer added that the rates for comprehensive insurance policies with theft coverage for Chinese brands remain among the lowest rates due to the low risk of theft. But the situation may change if the share of car thefts from the Middle Kingdom increases.
