Here's the Skinny on Car Prices in Kuban, Russia 🚗💰
Car prices in Kuban region have experienced an increase for Russian-made vehicles.
Hey there! Let's talk cars, shall we? The average price of a new ride in Kuban remains at 3.39 million rubles as of April this year, according to Avto.ru.
Now, buckle up, because there's some interesting stuff going on with the Chinese models! For instance, the Hongqi HS5 is priced at 3.44 million rubles, while the Aito M5 and BAIC U5 Plus come in at 4.86 million and 1.6 million rubles, respectively. Not bad, right?
Meanwhile, the Solaris KRS and JAC JS3 models have also seen a bit of a price drop, around 3.6% to be exact. But, hold on, there are some models that have gone up in price, like the electric crossover Voyah Free (6.34 million rubles), the "Moskvich 3" (1.92 million rubles), and the Lada Largus (1.95 million rubles).
Interestingly, the price increase was most noticeable in Moscow and the Moscow region (+2.6%, 5.3 million rubles), whereas prices in the Rostov region dropped by 12.7% to 2.26 million rubles.
By the way, we shared earlier that gym prices in Kuban are now averaging at 8,000 rubles, which is 10% higher than last year.
Now, let's delve a little deeper into the Chinese car models we mentioned. While specific price data might be tough to find, it's safe to say that their prices are relatively stable compared to other brands. The decrease in used Chinese car prices by 7.5% from January 2024 to March 2025 could be due to dealers offering significant discounts on new Chinese cars due to inventory levels, and reduced demand for used Chinese vehicles[1].
But wait, if you're wondering about models like the Solaris KRS, Moskvich 3, and Lada Largus, they might behave differently due to market-specific factors. For example, the Solaris KRS might be a less common model in the Russian market, and the Moskvich 3, which has government support, might not follow the same trends as Chinese imports[2]. As for the Lada Largus, being a domestic model, it might not align perfectly with the trend of Chinese imports[3].
So there you have it! The Russian automotive market is showing signs of stability for Chinese car models, but it's always good to do your own research or consult with a dependable source before making a purchase. Stay savvy, folks! 💪🚗🌟
