Sales of Oting Paladin have started on the Russian market, prices are known

An SUV based on the Nissan Terra is offered in the Russian Federation in four trim levels. The recommended retail price of the “new product” varies from 3,799,000 to 4,499,000 rubles.

The Oting brand belongs to Sinomach Automobile, a subsidiary of the Chinese concern Sinomach, which is mainly engaged in the production of industrial equipment. The Russian market became the first export market for this subsidiary, which imports cars of world brands to China. Today it became known that sales of the Oting Paladin have started in the Russian Federation: let us remind you that the “new product” is actually a redesigned Nissan Terra, which is produced by the Zhengzhou Nissan JV (owned by Nissan and Dongfeng).

Note that in the Chinese market this SUV is sold under the name Dongfeng Paladin. Initially, it was assumed that the model would be presented in the Russian Federation under the name Oting Paladin, but at the beginning of this month it became known that it would go on sale under the name Paladin (that is, they decided to write the name in Cyrillic). Now frame SUVs have reached official dealers of the brand in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kirov, Penza, Samara, Barnaul and Krasnodar.
