Experts told what improvements are needed for cars imported to the Russian Federation under the parallel import program

Last year, a lot of cars appeared on the roads of Russia, which have never been officially imported into our country. They are shipped from USA, Europe, Asia and North America. However, there are a number of nuances here, without taking into account that the owner of the car may lose it.

In particular, it should be remembered that cars imported into the Russian Federation from the USA require an immediate replacement of the optics  — we have other requirements for its design. And cars from UAE require more attention — they are intended for use in  warm climates on smooth roads, which means that in Russia they need to be retrofitted with crankcase protection, reinforced suspension, anti-corrosion treatment and other improvements.

In addition, according to  Izvestia, many cars immediately after arriving in the Russian Federation will need to replace thermostats, antifreeze, brake fluid and oil. Also, problems with the operation of the climate system are not excluded.
