From September 1 through September 15, a wave of price adjustments hit passenger cars across several major automakers in Russia. This summary, drawn from the daily automotive news briefing, outlines the changes observed during that period.
AVTOVAZ announced noticeable price increases for most Lada Granta configurations, with hikes ranging from 10,000 to 60,000 rubles, equivalent to roughly 1.3 to 5.7 percent. Meanwhile, Chery expanded the sticker price across its entire model line by 30,000 to 70,000 rubles, translating to about 1.1 to 2.1 percent. Omoda followed with a jump of 70,000 rubles, or around 2.2 to 3.1 percent. Exeed posted more modest gains, from 10,000 to 60,000 rubles, corresponding to 0.2 to 2 percent.
Geely also adjusted its lineup, lifting Tugella and Monjaro crossovers by 35,000 rubles (0.7–0.9 percent). The Coolray and Atlas Pro SUVs moved up by 50,000 rubles, effectively adding 1.6 percent in certain trims while other advantages associated with those models were reduced to reflect the new pricing. JAC carried the increases across four of its six models, by 200,000 to 250,000 rubles (roughly 6.8 to 10.4 percent). In a broad move, almost the entire FAW range saw price shifts of 72,000 to 73,000 rubles (about 2.4 to 3.1 percent). Jetour, which entered the Russian market in June, nudged the two crossovers it offers by 50,000 rubles (1.3 to 2.1 percent).
At the start of September, Kia also refreshed its pricing for the Russian market, a level that has remained stable since March 2022. Even with halted local production and limited official deliveries, the 2022 Cerato, Soul, and Seltos models posted price increases of 105,000 rubles, or about 3.6 to 5.7 percent, reflecting rebalancing in the market and continued demand dynamics.
Executives and industry analysts note that the price revisions follow a period of cost pressures and regulatory developments affecting imports, localization programs, and logistics. The changes described above illustrate how each brand is balancing supply chain realities with consumer demand in a challenging market environment. Consumers are advised to verify the latest price lists at official dealer networks, as regional variations can occur depending on trim levels, packages, and ongoing promotions.
Overall, the September pricing cycle shows a broad pattern of incremental increases across many Chinese, European, and domestic brands operating in Russia. Observers will be watching for any shifts tied to currency fluctuations, supplier costs, or potential changes in import policy and tariffs that could influence future sticker prices. These factors together shape the trajectory of consumer costs for mid-range and entry-level passenger cars in the coming months.
