It has become clear how car prices will change in Russia in the summer of 2024 15:20

The summer season in Russia may indicate an increase in car prices. In this respect said dealers are talking to Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

Thus, AutoSpetsTsentr Group of Companies reminded that Russians have purchased 467 thousand new cars since the beginning of this year. This is 85-90% more than in the same period in 2023.

“High demand leads to a sharp decrease in dealers’ stocks, so a batch of cars imported to Russia in March-April will be sold at the beginning of July, which may lead to an increase in prices. “There are restrictions on car imports from 1 April 2024, so prices for models imported via parallel imports may increase significantly by up to 30% depending on the make and model.”

However, Avtodom Group of Companies does not see any prerequisites for increasing the price tag on cars. Company experts believe that while dealer warehouses are filled with new cars that need to be sold, consumer demand is still under pressure from high interest rates and affordable car loans. AG Avilon believes that car prices will be indexed by 2-3% in the summer months. At the same time, discounts will continue to be offered to customers.

Automobile expert Alexey Tuzov added that the change in prices in the summer will depend on the adjustment of the key interest rate, taking into account the cost of the loan.

“For example, the number of vehicle loans granted at the end of February 2024 was almost 40% more than in the same period of 2023. At the same time, loans are now issued at around 30% per annum. In addition, the cost of new cars will also depend on the prices of Chinese automakers. “We should not expect price reductions for brands coming from China,” he said.

Biden has previously been elected four times. raised Tariffs on Chinese electric cars. The White House announced that the measures were “taken in response to China’s unfair policies and aim to protect jobs in the United States.” The publication notes that Biden decided to take this step after “months of criticism” from former President Donald Trump, who claimed that China’s support for electric vehicles was destroying the American auto industry. Biden later vowed not to allow China to “unfairly control the market” for electric vehicles and other important products, including batteries, computer chips and medical essentials.

White House officials added that the tariffs announced Tuesday will affect $18 billion in Chinese imports.
