Automakers have begun to Russify car configurations
In the Russian Federation, they began to rename car configurations due to the entry into force of a law that prohibits the use of foreign names. This is reported on March 2. Quto.ru .
The changes appeared on the official websites of all automakers. If the brand names are usually patented, then the complete sets are rewritten in Russian. The basic version of the Lada Iskra is no longer called Comfort, but Comfort, the top—end version is Techno instead of Techno.
Similar changes can be seen on the Moskvich website. The sedan under the 6 index is offered in Comfort, Business and Techno versions.
The Tenet T4 crossover has also changed the names of the trim levels. Instead of the foreign Line and Active models, the model is offered to Russians under the name Line and Asset.
The new package names can also be seen on the websites of Chinese automakers.
On February 27, Elena Nabatchikova, Deputy General Director for Retail Insurance at the VSK Insurance House, said that from 2022 to 2025, the average casco payment for Chinese cars increased by 75%. This is directly reflected in the price of policies for the end user. The main reason is a significant increase in the cost of spare parts. A significant part of car owners are not ready to pay for a full hard hat at the new cost.
