The head of the Russian Automobile Dealers Association (ROAD) Alexey Podshchekoldin told URA.RU in an interview that the final price of a Chinese car in Russia is influenced by several factors.
“If the initial cost of a car from China is 900 thousand rubles, then by the time of sale in Russia it can increase to 2.6 million rubles. Government regulation is added to the base price – 40%, delivery to the Russian Federation – 14%, as well as the distributor’s margin – 6% and the dealer’s – 5%,” Podshchekoldin explained.
As a result, the price of a new Chinese car when imported to Russia increases almost threefold – by 2.8. It was previously reported that in February 2025, the average price of a new car in the country reached 2.98 million rubles. Among the most popular brands at the end of winter, Lada was in the lead – its share was 22.7%. Next came Chinese brands: Haval (10%), Chery (8.5%), Geely (5.4%) and Changan. Over the year, Russians’ demand for new cars has grown by 24.7%, and the range of offers has increased by 45.5%.
