They “break through” the recycling collection barrier with big discounts
The head of AvtoVAZ, Maxim Sokolov, openly accused the Chinese of competition, which is an alarming signal for Geely, Haval, Chery and other manufacturers from the Middle Kingdom, as No Limits writes with reference to Interfax.
He stated that Chinese automobile brands, in the course of active expansion, are entering the traditional market segments of Lada, «punching» recycling barrier with big discounts.
Many Chinese brands, carrying out, I would say, aggressive expansion into the Russian market, are beginning to «punch» recycling collection level and enter traditional markets — to focus groups for which products from our models are produced. First of all, this is a Lada Vesta car.

During the presentation of the updated Lada Vesta family with a CVT, AvtoVAZ has already named the main competitors for the SW Cross all-terrain station wagon. AvtoVAZ compares the new Lada Vesta SW Cross with such models as Geely Coolray (from 2,291,000 rubles), Chery Tiggo 4 Pro (from 2,220,000 rubles) and Haval Jolion (from 2,299,000 rubles).
The problems the Chinese face are not illusory, since AvtoVAZ has already shown, using the example of junk that has grown exponentially, how it can make things bad for everyone.

In addition, the president of AvtoVAZ spoke about his impressions of driving a Lada Iskra, which he drove at the company's training ground.
