The new rules for importing foreign cars into Russia have already affected the price tags in showrooms.
Thus, according to Autonews, the sedan Volkswagen Bora, previously available for 2.9 million rubles, has now risen in price to 3.2 million rubles. At the same time, Hyundai Custo has fallen in price by 300 thousand rubles, and its price is now 5.8 million rubles.
Mitsubishi Outlander also did not stay aside: if earlier the front-wheel drive model cost 4.0 million rubles, now its price has increased to 4.3 million rubles, and all-wheel drive version has increased by 100 thousand rubles, reaching the mark of 4.6 million rubles.
The biggest price increase is noted for the Toyota Highlander SUV: cars imported from China were sold for 6.69 million rubles last year, and now the same car will cost 7.3 million rubles.
Toyota Camry with a 2.5-liter engine from China cost 4.7 million rubles in January 2024, and now its price has increased to 4.9 million rubles. This applies to cars of the same configuration.
It should be noted that the prices for Skoda Superb in the capital's dealerships have also increased: if last year the car cost 4.0 million rubles, now its price is 4.5 million rubles.
Mazda CX-4 and Volkswagen Tayron also went up in price, but not so significantly: by 100 thousand rubles (up to 3.2 million rubles) and by 50 thousand rubles (up to 4.65 million rubles), respectively.
Andrei Chekurov, the head of the parallel import department of the Pragmatica dealership network, noted that car prices in all segments will increase from April, but in the premium segment this change will be less noticeable, as customers in this sector are less sensitive to price changes.
Earlier, Moscow drivers were asked not to hurry to re-wire cars.
