New Tivoli Sang Yong 2017 reached Russian market. The model in the form of the X100 and XLV concepts wandered around world auto shows for quite some time. But in 2015 small crossover still began to produce in South Korea. The most interesting thing is that the SsangYong Tivoli project was implemented after the arrival of a new strategic investor from India automobile corporation Mahindra & Mahindra. Before this, the manufacturer was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The fate of Sang Yong in the Russian market resembles a roller coaster, with ups and downs. The current crisis has reduced sales Korean SUVs practically to none, in model range Only Actyon was left. However, the Tivoli model should correct the situation. Specially designed for European markets small SUV must wedge itself into the most massive and fastest-growing segment. The manufacturer even chose a suitable name as the name. Tivoli is a city in Italy in the province of Lazio. Apparently the calculation for the European market is serious.

But in our country it has become possible to buy a new product only now. The manufacturer did not waste time on trifles and offered two versions of the body at once. The short version has a length of 4202 mm, the larger model with the XLV index is stretched to 4440 mm. Wherein wheelbase Both modifications have one, it is 2600 mm. That is, the designers simply extended the rear part, almost doubling the luggage compartment.

Concerning appearance Tivoli Sang Yong, then the Koreans from SsangYong were never afraid to experiment. Unusual, original and even downright scary models, that’s all about them. And this time the new product turned out to be quite original and unlike anything else. Although conceptual model, which was even brought to the Moscow Motor Show, gave some idea of ​​the designers’ ideas. Tivoli Photos look below. For comparison, short and long body We will place them side by side in the photo.

Price Tivoli Sang Yong 2017

In order to compete for the compact crossover market, the Koreans will soon have to localize Tivoli production, as their main competitors have already done. While the Korean car is in basic version with front-wheel drive 2WD and 6-speed manual transmission is offered for 999,000 rubles, with an automatic, the cost immediately increases to 1,269,000 rubles. True, the number of options is increasing.

The long Tivoli XLV is positioned as more premium car. With front-wheel drive, the price of the car varies from 1,439,000 to 1,699,000 rubles. You'll have to pay for 4WD all-wheel drive 1,739,000 rubles.

The competition in this price range is quite tough. After all, you have to compete with the Hyundai Tussan, Nissan Qashqai, the new Volkswagen Tiguan 2017 or even the Toyota Rav4, which is now also assembled in Russia.

What will happen in 2019: expensive cars and disputes with the government

Due to the increase in VAT and the unclear future of state support programs for the car market, new cars will continue to rise in price in 2019. We found out how car companies will negotiate with the government and what new products they will bring.

However, this state of affairs only stimulated buyers to make decisions more quickly, and an additional argument was the planned increase in VAT from 18 to 20% in 2019. Leading auto companies told Autonews.ru what challenges the industry faces in 2019.

Figures: sales have been growing for 19 months in a row

Based on the results of sales of new cars in November 2018, the Russian car market showed an increase of 10% - thus, the market has continued to grow for 19 months in a row. According to the Association of European Businesses (AEB), 167,494 new cars were sold in Russia in November, and in total from January to November, automakers sold 1,625,351 cars - 13.7% more than last year.

According to AEB, December sales results should be comparable to November. And at the end of the whole year, it is expected that the market will reach the figure of 1.8 million cars and light vehicles sold commercial vehicles, which would mean a 13 percent plus.

Most noticeably in 2018, according to data from January to November, they grew Lada sales(324,797 units, +16%), Kia (209,503, +24%), Hyundai (163,194, +14%), VW (94,877, +20%), Toyota (96,226, +15%), Skoda (73,275, +30%). Began to reach lost positions in Russia Mitsubishi(39,859 units, +93%). Despite the growth, Subaru (7026 units, +33%) and Suzuki (5303, +26%) noticeably lagged behind the brand.

Sales increased at BMW (32,512 units, +19%), Mazda (28,043, +23%), Volvo (6,854, + 16%). Hyundai's premium sub-brand, Genesis, took off (1,626 units, 76%). Stable performance in Renault (128,965, +6%), Nissan (67,501, +8%), Ford (47,488, +6%), Mercedes-Benz (34,426, +2%), Lexus (21,831, +4%) and Land Rover (8 801, +9%).

Despite the positive figures, the overall volumes of the Russian market remain low. According to the Autostat agency, the market historically showed its maximum value in 2012 - then 2.8 million cars were sold; in 2013, sales decreased to 2.6 million. In 2014, the crisis came only towards the end of the year, so there was no dramatic drop in the market - Russians managed to buy 2.3 million cars at the “old” prices. But in 2015, sales collapsed to 1.5 million units. Negative dynamics continued in 2016, when sales dropped to a record low of 1.3 million vehicles. A revival in demand occurred only in 2017, when Russians bought 1.51 million new cars. Thus, up to the original figures of the Russian automotive industry It is still a long way off, just as it is still far from achieving the status of the first market in Europe in terms of sales, which was predicted for Russia in the pre-crisis years.

Representatives of auto companies surveyed by Autonews.ru believe that sales volumes in 2019 will be comparable to the results of 2018: according to their estimates, Russians will buy the same number of cars or a little less. Most expect a bad January and February, after which sales will pick up again. However, auto brands refuse to make official forecasts until the beginning of the new year.

“In 2019, the cars purchased in the pre-crisis year of 2014 will already be five years old - for Russians this is a kind of psychological mark at which they are ready to think about replacing the car,” Kia Marketing Director Valery Tarakanov noted in an interview with Autonews.ru.

Prices: cars have been rising in price all year

New cars in Russia after the 2014 crisis increased in price by an average of 66% by November 2018, according to Autostat. Over the 11 months of 2018, cars became more expensive on average by 12%. The agency's experts came to the conclusion that auto companies have now practically won back the fall of the ruble against world currencies. But they stipulate that this does not mean a price freeze.

Further increases in car prices will be driven by inflation and an increase in the VAT rate from the beginning of 2019 - from 18% to 20%. Representatives of auto companies, in conversations with an Autonews.ru correspondent, also do not hide that the increase in VAT will directly affect the cost of cars, and from the very beginning of 2019 - this, for example, was confirmed by Renault, AvtoVAZ and Kia.

Discounts, bonuses and new prices: when is the best time to buy a car?

“On the threshold of the last quarter of the year, the Russian automobile market continued to demonstrate strong growth. However, this welcome development comes as no surprise given the tailwind in the sails of the entire retail sector as it counts down to the VAT change. There has been growing concern among market participants regarding the sustainability of retail demand since January 2019,” explained Jörg Schreiber, Chairman of the AEB Automobile Manufacturers Committee.

At the same time, automakers hope that the ruble exchange rate will not change much against foreign currencies, which will avoid price surges.

State support programs: they gave half as much

In 2018, government support programs for the car market, popular among Russians, were allocated twice less money compared to 2017 - RUB 34.4 billion. instead of the previous 62.3 billion rubles. At the same time, only 7.5 billion rubles were spent on targeted programs aimed specifically at motorists. We are talking about such programs as “First Car” and “ Family car”, which apply to cars worth up to 1.5 million rubles.

The rest of the money went to more specific programs like “Own Business” and “ Russian tractor" For development and production activities Vehicle with remote and autonomous control spent 1.295 billion to stimulate the acquisition of ground-based electric transport- 1.5 billion, for measures to stimulate production in the Far East (we are talking about compensation for transportation costs to auto companies) - 0.5 billion rubles, for the purchase of gas engine equipment - 2.5 billion rubles.

Thus, the government, as promised, continues to systematically reduce the volume of state support for the industry. For comparison: in 2014, only 10 billion rubles. went to recycling and trade-in programs.

In 2015, 43 billion rubles were allocated to support the automotive industry, of which 30% was also spent on recycling and trade-in. In 2016, spending on state support for the automotive industry reached 50 billion rubles, half of which was also spent on similar targeted programs.

As for 2019, the situation with state support remains. Thus, in the middle of the year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced that the “First Car” and “Family Car” programs were extended until 2020 inclusive. They should allow you to buy new cars at a 10-25% discount. However, automakers claim that they have still not received any confirmation about the extension of the programs - the Ministry of Industry and Trade for a month was unable to clarify the situation and respond to Autonews.ru’s request. Meanwhile, at a recent meeting with automakers, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said that the volume of state support for domestic automotive industry

five times higher than the budget revenues from this industry. “Now this amounts to 9 rubles per 1 ruble of income to the budget system from the automobile industry. This is with recycling fee, but without recycling fee

“5 rubles of state support,” he said.

Kozak explained that these figures should make one think about the conditions under which state support measures should be provided to the auto industry, adding that the vast majority of business sectors do not receive any support from the state at all.

Disputes with the government: car companies are unhappy In 2018, disputes between auto companies and the government over the terms of further work in the market intensified. The reason was the expiring terms of the agreement on industrial assembly, which gave auto companies that invested in the localization of production a tangible set of benefits, including tax ones. This situation primarily means that manufacturers, in conditions of uncertainty, can postpone the launch of new models, which, by the way, was threatened by Renault. In addition, it is more difficult for companies to predict their pricing policy. On

Until recently, departments offered different tools to replace the expiring decree on industrial assembly No. 166. Thus, the Ministry of Industry and Trade actively lobbied for the signing of individual special investment contracts (SPICs) between the government and auto companies. The document provides for a certain set of benefits, which is determined separately with each signatory depending on the size of investments, including in R&D and export development. This tool has been repeatedly criticized by auto company executives for its lack of transparency and too stringent requirements for further investment.

The Ministry of Energy, in turn, opposed it for a long time and insisted that only those who produce high-tech products, which do not include cars, will be able to work under SPICs. The FAS also joined the negotiations with the position that companies should not form alliances and consortia, that is, they should not unite to sign SPICs. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade began to promote precisely this idea of ​​combining brands to obtain a synergistic effect many years ago.

IN conflict situation Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak had to intervene, who created a special working group, invited representatives of all auto companies to it and also expressed a number of his own ideas. But this did not calm the situation - auto brands complained about newcomers, including Chinese companies

who, from scratch, could count on government support and a reluctance to invest too much in R&D and export organization.

Currently, according to Autonews.ru sources taking part in the negotiations, the advantage is on the side of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and a number of auto companies are already preparing to sign SPICs in the new year. And this means new investments, projects and models, the emergence of which can revive the Russian car market.

New models: there will be many premieres in 2019 Despite the careful forecasts from automakers, most of them are preparing many new products for Russia. For example, Volvo Autonews.ru told that they will bring new Volvo S60 and Volvo V60 Cross Country . Suzuki will launch updated SUV Vitara and new compact SUV

Jimny. Skoda in next year will bring the updated Superb and the Karoq crossover to Russia; in 2019, Volkswagen will begin Russian sales of the Arteon liftback, as well as new modifications of the Polo and Tiguan. AvtoVAZ will roll out Lada Vesta

The SsangYong Tivoli compact crossover debuted at the beginning of 2015 in South Korea, and in the spring it reached European market. The name of the model is Italian - this is the name of a small town located near Rome.

In March 2016, the Koreans presented an extended modification of the model, which received the prefix XLV. At the beginning of 2017, sales of the new Sanyeng Tivoli began on the Russian market.

The rear of both modifications looks identical. It starts with a spoiler visor with an integrated brake light that hangs over the curved tailgate glass that extends to the side.

The embossed door has grooves for lanterns installed in rear pillars. Under the door there is an area pressed inward for installing a license plate, and at the bottom of the bumper there is another brake light and reflectors along the edges.
