In a year of operation, cars from China have lost almost half of their value
Chinese budget car models have lost almost half of their value over the year, Izvestia has calculated. For example, offers from dealers for a new Chinese crossover Geely Coolray 2023 year of production now start from 3.1 million, and for a year-old car with mileage prices start from 1.7 million in the capital region, according to the data of aggregators on car sales.
Sales in the car market in Russia in 2024 increased by 50% follows from the analytical report of the National Rating Agency (which is at the disposal of "Izvestia"). The top three most purchased brands remain stable and include: Haval - 10% of the market, Chery - 11% of the market and Geely - about 10% of the market. Russian Lada remained the most popular brand, accounting for about a third of the entire Russian automobile market.
In terms of specific models, the losses of a new German car to a car with mileage are: the Audi A6 - 18.5%, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class - 28%, and the BMW 5 - 34.5%. Japanese sedan Toyota Camry 2023 can now be bought new from 5.4 million rubles without discounts in the showrooms of the network of dealers "Rolf", similar proposals for used cars start from 3.5 million. For a new Mazda 6 2023 dealers ask from 3.9 million rubles without discounts, and a similar option in the secondary market will cost the buyer 3.3 million. The difference in price is only 15%.
Specialists believe that such a rapid loss of Chinese models is due to the fact that Russian drivers lack operating experience. Over time, among such cars will appear models to which motorists will get used to, after which their liquidity in the secondary market will increase.
