«VZGLYAD» said that waiting for the Russian automotive market in 2023

Last year, the world's largest automakers began to leave Russia. But, as you know, in conditions of healthy competition, someone will very quickly take an empty seat. So happened this time — The Russian Federation was filled with Chinese cars and cars that were never officially sold in our country.

In 2022, about 120 000 cars of Chinese brands were sold in Russia, which corresponds to 33% of  the total number of cars sold. According to  general director of   "Autodom" Andrey Olkhovsky, whose words are quoted by Vzglyad, in 2023 the share of «Chinese» will reach  60%.

Also, the country continues to tend to import imported cars under the parallel import program. Now German, American and Japanese cars are imported into Russia from UAE, Kazakhstan, Armenia and other countries. As a rule, this is not a cheap pleasure — the car itself and its delivery cost about 3-5 million rubles, and you still need to pay excise tax and VAT.
