April 2025 was a record month for lower prices for new passenger cars in Russia. According to experts, prices have reached their lowest level in recent years. Auto expert Igor Morzharetto, in an interview with TASS, said that now a new Chinese car produced in 2024 can be purchased starting from 1.3 million rubles, the same amount as the base Lada Vesta./p> The most significant discounts were provided for cars of various Chinese brands. For example, for the Livan brand: the X3 Pro fell in price by 12.2% to 1,659,900 rubles, the X6 Pro by 21.7-22.7% to 2,034,000-2,144,000 rubles, and the S6 Pro by 25.6-26.5% to 1,874,000-1,964,000 rubles. The SWM brand experienced the following declines: G05 Pro by 3.9-6.3%, G01 by 4.0-7.4%, G01F by 5.4-6.5%. Chery also provided significant discounts: Tiggo 8 PRO Max fell by 3.7-6.9%, and Tiggo 9 by 4.0-4.2%.
The main reason for such a large-scale price reduction was the excessive number of Chinese cars brought to Russia in 2024. A significant number of unsold cars accumulated in the warehouses of dealers and distributors, which forced manufacturers to make significant discounts. Auto expert Igor Morzharetto stresses that further price reductions are unlikely, as the market has bottomed out.
