The reported price reduction for the Chinese Foton Tunland G7 pickups in Russia has been substantial, with close to 500,000 rubles shaved off the tag, according to the Quto.ru portal. The article notes that in the spring, Foton’s Russian representative office began sales of the Tunland G7 within the domestic market, and subsequently MB Rus decided to enter the market with its own offers. In contrast to the official basic version priced at 3.5 million rubles, MB Rus is now marketing a well-equipped Comfort package for 3.1 million rubles, presenting a clear incentive for buyers who want more features at a lower price.
Earlier discussions highlighted how buyers could maximize savings when purchasing a vehicle. Avtodom Group of Companies pointed out that, even amid market saturation, substantial discounts on vehicles from the Middle Kingdom remain available. These savings can range from about 50,000 to 400,000 rubles, depending on the model and configuration. The group reminded readers that in May of this year, discount levels on Geely, Chery, and Haval vehicles were typically in the 5–9 percent range. In addition to these price cuts, buyers could also take advantage of trade-in programs or secure financing through partners, expanding options for many customers who want to stretch their budgets.
