A capital-area dealership is offering a Toyota RAV4 crossover that arrived from China under a parallel import scheme. The model features a 2.0‑liter petrol engine producing 171 horsepower, paired with a continuously variable transmission and all‑wheel drive. The asking price is 4.79 million rubles, and buyers who choose this Chinese‑built RAV4 receive a three‑year dealer warranty.
Interestingly, the same dealership also lists a domestically localized Toyota RAV4 that was assembled at the now‑closed Toyota plant in Saint Petersburg. This version uses a 2.5‑liter engine generating 199 horsepower and is coupled with an automatic transmission. It is priced at 5.1 million rubles.
Note: Market dynamics in Russia have shifted, with several Toyota models still visible on dealer lots. Some units are moving from remaining stock, while others arrive through parallel import channels from overseas suppliers. This reflects a broader trend toward expanding the available Toyota lineup even as regional manufacturing footprints evolve.
