The Association of Russian Automobile Dealers (Road) predicts an 8% drop in sales of passenger cars and commercial vehicles in 2020, said Oleg Moseev, President of Road. The situation will be influenced by many factors: recycling fee, inflation and the ruble exchange rate. “The recycling fee for imported cars will give a 2-3% rise in price, for [cars] locally assembled it can give 1-1.5%. It seems like they compensate through industrial subsidies, but, firstly, not everything is compensated, not always and not immediately. Official inflation is 4%. Therefore, there is a 5 percent increase per year,” he calculated.

According to Moseev, the price is the main thing when choosing a car, even in the premium segment: “Conscious consumption has finally come to Russia, it’s bad that this happened as a result of a long crisis. People count every penny.

Next year, he says, manufacturers will have to hold prices and raise them in very small steps: "They look at each other, and if someone first raises prices more than others, his sales will fall more." So far, only Volvo and BMW have announced price increases. Recommended retail prices on average for the model range will increase by 1.1% from January 2020, Volvo Car Russia reported. Prices for almost all new BMWs will rise by 2% due to an increase in the recycling fee, BMW Group Russia wrote.

In October, the Automobile Manufacturers Committee of the Association of European Businesses ( AEB) revised its sales forecast for the Russian market from “positive” to “slightly negative”. According to the results of the year, no more than 1.76 million cars can be sold, Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB Automobile Manufacturers Committee, said at the time: 2.3% less than in 2018, and 5.8% worse than the forecast at the beginning of the year. The latest AEB data was published last week: the negative trend persisted. "We don't expect to see a trend change," Schreiber lamented. The forecast for 2020 will be published by the AEB no earlier than mid-January.

BUT " VTB Capital expects sales growth - 1.82 million cars. The effect of this year's low base will have an effect, government support, economic recovery and demand for corporate segment cars are possible, says Vladimir Bespalov, an analyst at VTB Capital.

There is no optimism among car dealers. The market is now in a dive situation and in 2020 the negative dynamics will continue, the expected fall is up to minus 10% per year, there will be a significant drop in sales, predicts Andrey Pavlovich, Chairman of the Board of the Group " Avilon". There are all prerequisites for the continuation of the fall - minus 8-10% is quite realistic, Vladimir Miroshnikov, Rolf's development director, agrees with him.

The negative trend is associated with the lack of growth in household incomes, the high debt load of Russians and the general increase in car prices, says Denis Petrunin, CEO of Avtospetstsentr Group of Companies: there are no new cars on the market cheaper than 1 million rubles, with the exception of AvtoVAZ, this leads to pent-up demand - an increase in the life of cars and the postponement of the purchase of new ones. Pent-up demand persists in the next price segment of the market - among cars worth from 1 million to 2 million rubles, continues Miroshnikov, and there is no activation of demand, this situation can be changed only by introducing additional measures to stimulate demand from the government.

We waited! In the coming December, the return of the prodigal son will take place in Russia: the relaunch of the Opel brand is expected. After several years of absence, cars from Rüsselsheim will again be sold officially. Let the lineup is not yet wide, but - the beginning of trouble is the beginning!

However, Opel is not the only one - there will be a whole brood of new products from other automakers. Here you have premium crossovers from Audi and Mercedes, and more affordable SUVs from Kia and Skoda, and long-awaited sedans from VW and Hyundai. And it promises to be perhaps the loudest premiere. In general, novelties for every taste and budget.

In fact, the new “cuckoo” has been on sale with us since the fall, but the offer was limited to a mono-drive 1.4-liter 150-horsepower modification. This is not enough to successfully compete with the BMW X1 and Mercedes GLA. Therefore, the appearance of version 40 TFSI quattro will come in handy. She has at her disposal all-wheel drive with a Haldex clutch and a 2-liter turbo engine with a return of 180 hp, which will help attract a solvent public. A spacious interior can also be added to the asset - there is surprisingly a lot of space on the second row.

2. Updated Audi Q7

The start of sales is expected in the middle of winter. The largest Audi crossover received a more aggressive exterior styling and a completely redesigned interior, in which there are almost no familiar buttons left - they were replaced by touch ones. As an option, a fully controlled chassis and active stabilizers are now offered. One can only dream of an abundance of engines - the updated Q7 will be offered exclusively with a 3-liter 249-horsepower turbodiesel.

3. New Hyundai Sonata

She made her debut in the spring and, according to our data, was supposed to get to Russia in late summer or early autumn. But the Koreans decided to postpone its launch until the winter. But we're not offended - this sedan is worth the wait. If only because it is beautiful - sophisticated sculptural body shapes evoke exceptionally positive emotions. We will not have new generation turbo engines and hybrids - the car will receive much more attractive for Russians aspirated 2.0 (150 hp) and 2.5 (179 hp).

Looking at the super-successful Hyundai Creta, you are surprised that Kia has been so dragged out with its own compact crossover. With the advent of the automotive landscape in Russia should seriously change. It was built on a slightly enlarged Crete platform, the dimensions of the body will also be larger. As a result - a more spacious interior and trunk. By the way, Kia's design is also clearly more advantageous. Both gasoline engines are well known from other Korean models: 1.6 (123 hp) and 2.0 (149 hp).

5. Updated Lada 4x4

Today, the Togliatti Niva (the language does not dare to call it a soulless abbreviation 4x4) turned 42 years old. By industry standards - a huge age! But the car is in steady demand, and therefore there is no need to remove it from production. Vazovtsy from time to time modernize the veteran, so this year he will get a number of improvements. Most of them will be concentrated in the cabin. The car will get a new tidy, center console, steering wheel, front seats. Head restraints are also expected on the back sofa (it would be nice to drop). So Niva will still fight!

Such a model as, in the Mercedes range, has been asking for a long time - the gap between the GLA and GLC crossovers is too large. The length, width and height of the body are, respectively, 4634/1834/1658 mm. But the Mercedes managed to place 7 seats in the cabin. However, the third row is an option. The design of the front panel is almost the same as that of the single-platform A-class. The range of engines is quite wide: two diesel (150 or 190 hp) and two petrol (163 or 224 hp). However, the power of the base gasoline engine is likely to be reduced to 150 “horses” in order to reduce the tax burden.

7. Opel Zafira Life and Vivaro

Everyone expected that the first model of Opel in Russia would be the Grandland X crossover, but it seems that it will not be him who will become the pioneer, but those who recently received Vehicle Type Approvals (OTTS). The first is a clone of the Citroen SpaceTourer and Peugeot Traveler minibuses, the second is a twin of the Citroen Jumpy and Peugeot Expert vans. Under the hood, turbodiesels 1.6 (90 or 95 hp) and 2.0 (150 hp) are expected. Moreover, the “upper” motor can be paired not only with mechanics, but also with a machine gun.

Creta's most important competitor, in addition to the aforementioned Kia Seltos, should be the Czech crossover, which will be produced in Russia from day to day. We will have both front-wheel drive modifications and versions with a 4x4 transmission. The main advantage should be the base naturally aspirated 110-horsepower engine (it is not offered in Europe) - it is localized in Russia, which allows us to hope for an attractive price tag. The second engine will be a 1.4-liter 150-horsepower turbo-four.

9. New Volkswagen Jetta

The old Jetta left the market a year and a half ago, and since then there has been a hole in the Volks lineup that is inappropriate for the global auto giant. And only in the first quarter of 2020 it will be closed. The car has become larger and more representative. In the cabin - a successful mix of old proven solutions and modern electronic components. The same can be said for engines. The base will be a 1.6-liter 110-horsepower aspirated, which, as before, is combined with a mechanic or a classic automatic. But the 1.4-liter 150-horsepower turbo engine will be offered not with a robot, but with hydromechanics - the Russians must approve such a decision.

10. Updated Volkswagen Passat

In the middle of winter we are waiting for the appearance. External changes are not fundamental - only a fan of the brand can distinguish it from a pre-styling car on the move. But internal transformations are much more serious. There's a new design for the center console and instrument panel, a different steering wheel, and PASSAT lettering instead of a stylish clock (which we don't approve of). There are advances in terms of options: matrix headlights, advanced multimedia and semi-autopilot appeared. The 1.4 engine (150 hp) remained in place, but we will miss the 1.8-liter 180-horsepower turbo engine - it was replaced by a 2-liter 190-horsepower unit. It is not planned to supply modifications with a station wagon body - only sedans.

• The three most useful accessories in the winter are, and. In the Za Rulem online store, only original products are always available at the best prices.

There is very little time left before the Frankfurt Motor Show, and many are thinking about what surprises it is preparing for car enthusiasts around the world. From the auto show, as always, waiting for a lot of new models - it will be supercars, sedans, sports and family cars.

In anticipation of this event, experts are speculating about which models of the most famous manufacturers will have an impact on the car market until 2020.

Chevrolet Camaro Z

The body of the new Camaro Z / 28 is painted in beautiful black and gold colors. Many saw how the car was tested and failed at the show at the Nürburgring, and its second “outing in the people” is scheduled for 2017. For those who are waiting for the return of the famous Pontiac, the new body design of the car will present a pleasant surprise.

Ford Bronco (Ford Bronco)

When the first Bronco came out, persistent rumors began to circulate that it was a joint development of Ford and the Ranger company, although Ford insisted that this model was their own. However, Ford produced all the details for the new Bronco together with the Ranger. The new Bronco and the new Ranger will be produced simultaneously at Ford's Wayne plant in Michigan and are expected to go on sale next year.

Jeep Wrangler

It is in vain to count on any significant innovations in the appearance of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler - in addition to a slightly modified grille and a few minor cosmetic improvements, the overall look of the machine, which has long become a cult, has remained the same. In terms of interiors, the Wrangler has received the biggest change among SUVs to date, as the developers used aluminum for many components and assemblies.

Acura NSX Type R

Many thought the Acura NSX had done its best with 575 hp. But no, the developers decided that there is no limit to improvement - there are rumors that the new version will be even more powerful. It is expected that the NSX Type R will receive a powerful 3.5-liter V6 hybrid engine and a completely new set of aerodynamics.

Mercedes-AMG Project

Mercedes-AMG spared no expense when it launched the Project One hypercar. The engine has a power of 1000 hp. (735 kilowatts), the car has become a real monster worth 2.5 million dollars. The new AMG Project One model is announced as a manufacturer's breakthrough - we will be able to find out if this is so very soon. However, unfortunately, there is no hope to buy one of the 300 units of cars - they were all sold out at the beginning of 2017.

2018 Mercedes-Benz A-Class

Examining pictures of the car taken by car paparazzi, the experts concluded that Mercedes-Benz is preparing to update the subcompact A-Class again. But a complete new equipment, as well as internal content, will be ready only in two years. In the meantime, the car has an old platform. Two years from now, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class will adopt an even more elegant body, with a sleek new headlight package and LED elements, as well as an improved control panel.

Toyota Supra

Toyota Supra is probably the most anticipated car of the upcoming show. For the past two years, everyone who understands at least something in the automotive industry has predicted the appearance of this model. The new Supra was based on the stunning FT-1 base that blew the car world apart in 2014. And now in 2017, based solely on the data of pictures and videos, experts and fans of Toyota expect the appearance of a grandiose car.

VW Polo CUV

When this CUV category was announced, it was a mystery to everyone what Volkswagen had in store. Will it be a crossover or a classic SUV. There are still no answers - it is expected that at the end of next year another Polo-based "B-SUV" model will appear on the market. It is predicted that the platform of the car will change - it will be MQB, on which such venerable cars as the VW Golf, Audi A3 and others stand.

nissan leaf

The official debut of the 2018 Nissan Leaf is just weeks away. But, unfortunately, we know little about the updated and improved configuration of the car. There is evidence that Nissan will receive a completely new interior design and an upgraded powertrain, its top speed will be more than 165 miles (265 kilometers) per hour. The start of sales announced by the manufacturer will start this year.

Bentley Continental GT

Among the many new products that will be shown in Frankfurt, the updated Bentley Continental GT promises to be the most ambitious. Based on the concept of EXP 10 Speed ​​6, the presented car has been transformed from a sports model to a luxury coupe. Continental will ride on VW's lighter MSB platform and use a powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V.8 engine, there are models with the new 6-liter W12 engine from the VW Group.

Mercedes-Benz CLS

Many people expect the new Mercedes CLS to show its high class in Frankfurt, but when it does, everyone will quite possibly be disappointed - the design revolution has not happened. Mercedes has gone the traditional route, simply making the sleek body of the sedan something even more streamlined. In addition to the updated bumper, the CLS received interestingly shaped headlights with LED elements and a slightly modified interior.

Dallara Road Car

Dallara is the ultimate brand for track racing. But the manufacturer decided to release a car for city streets. The designers showed their talent, and the car received powerful bumpers, but did not lose its sporty lightness. What other changes are under the hood is unknown. The Dallara supercar will debut on November 16, 2017.

2018 Opel Insignia OPC

The Opel Insignia OPC is expected to debut either this year or early 2018. The upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show seems like the most likely venue for a full-fledged model show. Where and when the Insignia OPC was made is still not clear, but it is already known that the car is equipped with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, and its power has increased to 310 hp.

2019 Aston Martin Valkyrie

Aston Martin "Valkyrie" was developed simultaneously with BodyAston Martin. The first pictures of the future car appeared in July. Based on the photo, the exterior and interior design of the car is no longer a mystery. Unfortunately, the photos don't show what's under the hood - the 6.5-liter Cosworth V2 is rumored to have 820 horsepower. (611 kilowatts), a top speed of over 200 miles per hour (321 km per hour) and a price tag of about $3 million. In total, 150 cars are announced for production and another 25 separate models for track racing. The entire series of sports cars is already sold out.

2019 Ford Focus Sedan

They promise that the car after the show in 2018 until 2019 will change its internal surroundings and become similar to the Audi A3 and Mercedes CLA. Manufacturers are planning to make the interior filling of the "extra" class in the model, as well as a more aristocratic interior. Production of the new Focus will move from Michigan to China, with sales planned to begin in Europe.

2019 Audi A6 Avant

Having appeared for the first time in 2010, the appearance of the modern Audi A6 remains the same, only experts will be able to see small changes in the design of the front bumper. But by 2019, the company's developers promise the release of something special. The new car is expected to take on the Prologue concept and the 2019 Avant version will be very different from traditional Audis.

2019 BMW i5

It seems only natural that BMW is expanding its range of i-class cars, so the proposed i5 will be larger than the i3 hatchback and will be able to reach speeds in excess of 200 miles (321 km) per hour. BMW wants this car, unlike other cars in this class, to be “the first car in the house” - these are the words of Henrik Wenders, head of sales for i-class cars.

2019 Tesla Pickup

Tesla's CEO recently proposed a new engine model, the "instantaneous torque" concept. After that, everyone is looking forward to the appearance of a new car of a well-known corporation. And while many motor builders don't understand what CEO Tesla has in mind, everyone is expecting a big show. Where and when the new pickup will appear is not yet known. Experts believe that not earlier than 2019.

2019 Tesla Roadster

Tesla's proposed roadster will be "a little bigger and a little faster" than the outgoing one, Nordic Countries manager Peter Bardenfleet-Hansen said in May 2017. It is likely that the Roadster will also be based on the Model 3, if the corporation's previous reports are true. The question is, given its new platform, will the updated Roadster have the same sporty performance as the outgoing model, or will it be more of a family car.

2019 Mercedes-AMG GT Sedan

This car concept was called "outrageous" at the Geneva Motor Show. Continuing to amaze critics, the presented version is a complete reproduction of the AMG GT, with minor changes. The new car, presumably, will have a power of no more than 820 hp. Design elements clearly show the AMG GT Coupé, with minor changes. The car is expected by 2019.

2020 Alfa Romeo 6C / Spider Alfa Romeo 6C

The company provided an upgrade to the model, but critics say the Alfa Romeo Spider will not be able to compete with the introduction of the new Giulia and Stelvio. The question remains open whether funds will be invested in the production of a new car. According to the plans of the developers, the car should be equipped with an even more powerful engine than the previous Alfa Romeo 4C, and have an amazing interior.

2020 Apple car

Apple is working hard to improve Motor1Though and believes that its technologies should have the same capabilities as those of global automotive brands in order to be tested on public roads. I wonder if the experts will see these notorious technologies at the next car show?

2020 Opel GT

By showing the new production version of the Insignia, the company has chosen the right solution - clearly following market needs, Opel offers a new appointment for the sports GT. The updated design of the car, which so far exists only in a production sample, is already receiving high marks from experts. According to rumors, the car will go on sale in a year.

2020 Lotus Elise

The Evora continues to receive high marks in the new version of the car, which will soon be presented to the general public. Rumor has it that the new Elise will be lighter (apparently due to the aluminum parts) and more powerful than the model it replaces. But we'll have to wait until at least 2020 to see the new Lotus.

2020 Maserati Gran Turismo

The manufacturer may have forgotten that the Maserati GranTurismo already existed. But for ten years on the market, the design of the car has not changed, and today the modernization of the model is necessary. The rendering shown is not revolutionary, it retains the design of the sports coupe, bringing it to the present day. We won't see the new model on the streets until around 2020.

Any loud statements about the crisis in the automotive industry are unlikely to have a solid foundation. Temporary drops in sales always alternate with ups, and therefore, despite such leapfrog, automakers are actively developing new and improving old models, trying to please as many potential buyers as possible.

So in the upcoming 2020, we expect a lot of innovations. We have prepared an incomplete selection of those cars that are waiting for a generational change or a deep restyling, and completely new models, the concepts of which have already been lit up earlier.

Budget autonovelties of 2020 expected in Russia

The Italian sports car manufacturer plans to launch two new items for sale at once. 6C is a model characterized by an unusually attractive appearance and a powerful 505-horsepower engine.

The second sports car from Alfa Romeo, which will debut next year, has no less elegant forms and is equipped with an even more high-torque power unit capable of delivering a peak of 600 “horses”.

The novelty from the British automaker also has a beautiful exterior and extensive functionality. But in the first place - the build quality, it is impeccable. You should also not doubt the power of the sports car engine line.

It is worth waiting a bit for the new product of the 2019-2020 model year and from a company specializing in the production of vacuum cleaners. Do not be surprised that the new car will have an absolutely exclusive appearance and have an exclusively electric drive.

Another well-known British sports car manufacturer is keeping up with its competitors - the new model is already ready, and the first batch of Lotus is expected at the beginning of next year.

Here we are talking about just another serious restyling of a popular car. Most of the changes will be in the exterior of the sports car, the line of power units is also subject to revision - of course, in the direction of increasing power.

This is the car that will replace the RX-8. The new Japanese supercar will be released in 2020, and its highlight can be called a return to the rotary version of the car.

McLaren BP23

McLaren's new flagship product will be the BP23. Style and unprecedented power - this is how you can characterize this novelty. Fans of fast driving will surely like the 1000-horsepower engine that allows you to work wonders on high-speed tracks.

Among the new cars of 2020 expected on the Russian market, this German sports car is worth mentioning. This will be the debut of a sports model in the Opel line, which would hardly have taken place if it were not for the company's transfer to the control of the PSA concern.

Tesla's new electric sports car is sure to please its fans, because, according to the manufacturer, it is able to accelerate to "hundreds" in a fantastic time - it takes less than two seconds for this! The battery package will also be innovative, allowing you to drive about 1000 km without recharging.

New mass cars 2020/2021 model year

Among the new cars of 2020 on the Russian market, it is worth noting the restyled A4 from Audi. There will be few external changes, the corporate style of the exterior will remain, the interior of the cabin will also remain recognizable. Most of the novelties are in the technical equipment of the sedan.

Basically, nothing new is expected in the updated BMW 2-Series. Innovations also relate mainly to technical stuffing, and the cost of a car in the basic configuration will be from 1.5 million rubles.

Among the new cars for the 2020 model year, the XCeed cross-hatch is also expected. It will grow in size, acquire a more modern exterior. The ground clearance will also increase, which will allow the car to overcome off-road of moderate severity.

Among the forecasts of expected new products in 2020 is an unmanned vehicle, which is the fruit of a joint development between Hyundai and Yandex. It is unlikely that it can be called mass, and completely autonomous too (the existing legal framework does not allow), but it will still appear on sale.

New in 2020 in the category of crossovers

Perhaps, it is this segment that is of interest to all automakers without exception, so most of the new products are expected in the SUV category.

The flagship of the Audi Q8 crossover line will become fully electric in 2020. But this is in Europe, but we will continue to offer versions with internal combustion engines.

A new electric crossover is also being prepared by BMW. It will be a new model, with an unusual stylish appearance and the most modern set of options, many of which will be available as standard.

The updated one is considered the most anticipated novelty from the Bavarians. True, no major changes are expected, but the appearance will be slightly modified in accordance with the latest trends in automotive fashion. There will be innovations in the technological stuffing.

Among the expected novelties of 2020 is a car that can be called the flagship in the line of crossovers of the German automaker. Most likely, he will receive a coupe-shaped body, like the X2 / X4 / X6 and an extended base, like the X7.

As we have already noted, the segment of cars with off-road characteristics is of interest to all automakers today. So Ferrari, which specializes in sports cars, decided to release its own premium crossover, which will compete with other European giants, from BMW to Mercedes.

The novelty from Ford, presented in 2019 in Detroit as part of the North American Auto Show, will be on sale in 2020. The car will have a pronounced sporty appearance, and its distinctive feature will be the longitudinal layout of the power unit.

Little-known in Russia will present to the public next year the Gv80 crossover, which will be a continuation of the G80 series, consisting of a sedan and its sports modification. The crossover will be all-wheel drive and hybrid, with two electric motors.

But its competitor plans to release an all-electric crossover in two versions, differing in the power of electric motors. Currently, there are no such cars in the Hyundai lineup.

This is also a new model, designed on the basis of Santa Fe, but outwardly it has nothing in common with its predecessor. In 2020, a restyled version will appear with an updated appearance and an improved range of powertrains.

The new premium crossover from Kia will certainly become a bestseller, despite the relatively high cost. Possessing a pronounced sporty appearance and excellent technical stuffing, it is aimed at a youth audience.

The compact premium crossover, which debuted in 2019, will undergo a minor modification, involving an increase in dimensions and retrofitting the car with more modern equipment.

This electric crossover is considered one of the pioneers in this segment, debuting in 2017. Now its restyled version is being prepared, about which little is known. Most likely, the changes will affect the exterior and technical component.

This electric crossover is the same age as the Mitsubishi e-Evolution. In 2020, its modified version will enter the Russian market, which will be equipped with an improved battery, which allows you to cover about 650 kilometers without recharging.

In 2018, a little-known American startup introduced the R1t electric pickup to the public, and is now preparing to release an electric crossover. Both models are designed on a single trolley and have similar characteristics. The most powerful modification is able to overcome 640-660 km. without recharging.

Novelties of the Russian car industry

Surprisingly, a lot of interesting things are expected here, which allows us to conclude that the domestic automotive industry is still alive and actively developing.

Lada Van

In 2018, the first information about the upcoming release of the new Lada Van appeared on the network. Most likely, it will be a car assembled on the basis of Renault Dokker, but with a large number of autonomous components and parts.

The second generation Lada 4x4 will be presented to the public in the fall of 2019, and the car, designed on the basis of the 4x4 Vision concept, will go into production a little later. According to the available information, the SUV will become larger, get a new box and a 1.8-liter 112-horsepower power unit.

The appearance of the second generation Chevrolet Niva is also planned for next year, which should have been ready three years ago, but the project was frozen. will have a more modern appearance and update the line of engines, but it is possible that the release of the Chevrolet Niva 2 will be postponed again.

In 2020, AvtoVAZ intends to present an updated version of the budget sedan, which has been on the assembly line since 2007. This time, the changes will affect only the external appearance, which will be significantly modernized.

Among the new cars debuting in Russia in 2020 will be the Niva Titan SUV, which is planned to be produced in a station wagon body, and a pickup truck will assist it. Both modifications will be equipped with 150-horsepower powertrains from Renault-Nissan, including both petrol and diesel versions.

The cross-station wagon will be an extension of the Lada crossover line. The car will receive an increased clearance, the interior design will be modernized. The range of engines will remain the same. The cost of Vesta SW Cross in the initial configuration is expected to be 550 thousand rubles.

The updated sports version of the sedan will receive many improvements that will affect both the exterior, the interior, and the engine range. But these changes cannot be called revolutionary.

And here, domestic motorists expect a major update, which will significantly change the perception of the car. But the joint development of VAZ and the Renault-Nissan alliance will remain the same inside and under the hood, and in all possible modifications.

The raised hatchback, which the automaker proudly refers to as a subcompact SUV, is also getting a major facelift. To live up to the name, the XRAY's exterior will be made even more like a classic crossover by adding a perimeter body kit and increasing ground clearance. There will be no changes in the engine compartment.

Among the expected novelties of the domestic auto industry in 2019-2020 is the Lada XCode, on which the automaker has many hopes. It was this concept that gave rise to the recognizable VAZ X-style, which is currently used by several diverse models. If the concept still sees the series, we will get a new subcompact crossover with an innovative design and a good line of powertrains. It is quite possible that he will compete with classmates of foreign origin, which, with an initial cost of 800 thousand rubles, is quite realistic.

The debut of this executive sedan, designed on the modular platform "Cortege", took place in 2017. Today, this small-scale car is also produced in the body of a limousine (modification L700). The sedan is expected to be updated in 2020. With a cost of 18 million rubles, the car can hardly be called massive.

The popularity of CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) and SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) class vehicles is steadily growing and during 2020-2021 we will definitely see new SUVs and crossovers in the lines of most well-known brands. We offer you to understand in detail what new models will be interesting for, what technical innovations automakers plan to implement, and also what their price will be in the markets of Europe, the USA and Russia.

Alfa Romeo Castello

In 2020-2021, Alfa Romeo plans to launch a series of stylish SUVs, the largest of which will be the 7-seater Castello, designed on the Giorgio platform.

In terms of its dimensions and equipment, the Castello will be able to compete with the BMW X5. The length of the car will be 4.9 m. The exterior will be made in the recognizable Alfa Romeo style with streamlined shapes, a spectacular design of the radiator grille and front bumper.

In the interior, however, no radically new design solutions are foreseen. In order to save money, the company's management wants to adapt interior elements previously developed for the Giulia model for the new crossover.

In the basic configuration, the new Castello will receive a turbocharged 2-liter gasoline engine with 280 hp. or a 21-horsepower diesel engine with a volume of 2.2 liters. For the TOP complete set with all-wheel drive, they promise a petrol turbocharged “six” with 510 hp.

The sale of the Alfa Romeo Castello in Europe starts in 2020 with a minimum price of around $50,000. Whether the crossover will be presented in car dealerships in Russia is still unknown.

Alfa Romeo Kamal

Crossover Kamal will be the younger brother of the Castello described above. The cars will be similar in interior, but Kamal will receive less impressive dimensions and a 5-seater saloon.

It is worth noting that the concept of this model, shown in the photo, was developed by the company's engineers back in 2003, but was never included in the series for a number of reasons. Whether Kamal will add to the category of SUVs for the 2020-2021 model year is still difficult to say, since the manufacturer has not yet announced the date of the presentation.

If the car still appears in the salons of Europe, its price will obviously be lower than the cost of the Castello.

Audi Q1

The Audi Q1 will be built on the MQB platform already familiar to everyone from cars such as the Volkswagen Polo and SEAT Ibiza.

Plans to create a competitor for Ferrari, Maserati and Jaguar models have been announced by management for a long time, but there is no specific information about what technical innovations will be implemented in the car yet.
