At the same time, cars produced in 2022 are sold at an increased price in Russia
In Russia it is no longer possible to buy a domestically assembled Volkswagen Taos crossover, but you can buy a Chinese-assembled Lavida Qihang sedan. Moreover, in terms of price, there are no particular differences: if the latest Taos were sold for 2.8–2.9 million rubles, then for the Lavida Qihang they are now asking 2.65 million rubles. Although in the spring exactly the same sedan was offered for 2.189 million rubles.
Plus 500 thousand to the price does not at all guarantee passport “freshness”: a car produced in 2022 is offered for 2.65 million rubles. Lavida Qihang for this money is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine with 113 hp. and a 6-speed «automatic» Aisin.
The configuration is very simple: fabric interior, 2 airbags, polyurethane steering wheel, air conditioning, audio system with a small screen, heated rear window.
Against this background, the Venucia D60 Plus sedan from Nissan and Dongfeng, officially presented yesterday in Russia, does not seem overrated.
