The coronavirus has affected the emergence shortage of cars and spare parts in Russiaas well as rising prices for them. Both new and used cars have risen in price. The average price of a second-hand automobile has already exceeded one million rubles. But still cheap cars still available.
The seven most accessible for the Russian wallet new cars closes LADA Vesta. The price of a sedan starts from 863 thousand rubles. You need to take a closer look at this car, if only because, according to statistics, it has become the most sold in Russia in 2021.
LADA Vesta turned out to be 36,000 cheaper than Renault Sandero and Niva Travel SUV. Former name Niva Travel – Chevrolet Niva. And the Chevrolet model was also included in the short list of cheap cars. Sixth place was taken by Chevrolet Nexia. You probably immediately remembered the Daewoo Nexia, which is descended from the Opel Kadett? But the current Nexia is a completely different car. The Russians also know him well. This is a modernized Aveo in the back of the T250. It is possible that over time, a couple more models with a bow tie (bow-tie, as it is called on the other side of the Pacific Ocean) may also enter the list of available ones. And that’s Cobalt and Spark. The main thing is that they are cheaper than the Nexia bar – 851 thousand rubles.
On the fifth line of the price rating is LADA Largus. The car went through a facelift and more than 150 thousand more expensive. Now it costs 823 thousand rubles. Thus, Largus separates 40 thousand from the first seventh place.
The fourth line of the rating belongs to the crossover LADA XRay. The crossover costs the same. How many and Largus. One could say. One hundred models share the fourth and fifth places, but since the crossover is traditionally a more prestigious car class. Let’s put it one line up.
We got to the prize podium. The third place was taken by Renault Logan. This is no longer the angular car that entered the Russian market, and the assembly site for them is now not in Moscow, but in Tolyatti. But from the pursuers in the race, Logan immediately broke away by 60 thousand. The price for the basic version of the car starts from 762 thousand rubles.
45th birthday of LADA Niva Legend will celebrate on the silver platform of the podium. The car costs 694 thousand rubles.
And now the gold medalist: this is LADA Granta. This car is available in different types of bodies. The initial price also depends on the type of body: for a hatchback it is 650 thousand rubles, for a station wagon – 625, for a liftback – 621 thousand. And the cheapest in this company is a sedan for 599 thousand rubles.
The twin brother Granta, produced under the Japanese brand Datsun, could also join the price race. But this car, although it provided its owners with more comfort, was also more expensive. However, the optimization did not pass by and Nissan. The company once again decided to close the subsidiary brand. Datsun is no longer produced in Russia. He could not stand the internal competition. And above all for the price.
