Good cars not made in Russia. Which country produces the best passenger cars?

Can you trust the Russian assembly? The debate on this matter does not subside - and for those who are firmly convinced of the inability of “our” hands to assemble a car, we have prepared a selection of real imported cars. Only “from there”. Only hardcore!

Perhaps one of the most exciting and attractive offers is the Toyota RAV4. Straight from Japan! That is, for such a price - real Japanese assembly, which everyone trusts.

The basic version of the SUV is offered for $16,400. Even in initial configuration The “Classic” RAV4 will be equipped with everything you need: a full set of active safety features, 9 airbags, on-board computer, air conditioning, full power accessories. Front-wheel drive, 146-horsepower two-liter gasoline engine, manual transmission. Prices for all-wheel drive RAV4s start at $20,300 for the Classic trim with CVT.

Another attractive option from Japanese brand- model Corolla. Now it is produced in Turkey. Perhaps this seems more acceptable to some than the Russian assembly.

Corolla prices are now more attractive than ever. The basic “Standard” version costs only $11,000. The base is a 1.3 liter petrol engine (99 hp), 2 airbags, air conditioning, central locking, audio preparation, electric mirrors and front windows. Modest, but enough.

Most of the company's lineup Nissan assembled at a factory in Russia, but there is a pleasant exception - Nissan Juke, which is going to Japan and England.

Prices for this extravagant crossover start at $11,240. The most affordable version of the Base offers a 1.6-liter 97-horsepower gasoline engine, front-wheel drive, 6 airbags, full power accessories, audio system. But there is no air conditioning. And the most expensive version, with a 190-horsepower turbo engine, all-wheel drive and all possible bells and whistles, including all-round cameras and xenon headlights, will cost $18,400.

For a long time after the fall of the Russian ruble, the brand representative was doing well Mazda It was very difficult. But now everything seems to have changed dead center. So far, only three models are offered, two of which are produced at the Vladivostok plant - the Mazda6 and Mazda CX5. But the Mazda3 model is still produced at home, in Japan.

And at the same time, prices were kept at an acceptable level. A car with a 1.6-liter engine producing 104 hp. With. and a four-speed automatic transmission costs from $14,800, which is quite a bit for a purebred “Japanese”, and even with an automatic transmission. Besides, basic version offers a complete set electronic assistants, 8 airbags, air conditioning, audio system, full power accessories. Version with modern engine generation SkyActive with a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of 120 hp. With. costs $100 more. The equipment will be similar, but the automatic transmission will be six-speed.

A pickup truck, of course, is a very niche car, and in the current crisis there are few people willing to buy it. But still Nissan offers a good option.

The Navara is produced at the company's plant in Spain and retails from $18,900. In principle, for a utilitarian car, even a basic Navara will be well equipped: 2 airbags, full power accessories, central locking, audio equipment. But there is no air conditioning in the basic version. But there is a 190-horsepower diesel engine and manual transmission transmission The drive is full, Part-Time, with a rigidly connected front axle. By the way, there is a block in the database rear differential. For $26,600, the car is offered in the maximum configuration with a 231-horsepower 3-liter diesel engine and automatic transmission.

And here Mitsubishi L200 even cheaper and made in Thailand.

The base version of the pickup costs $17,100. This is the price for a previous generation car. Cars of the current model year are equipped with a new generation 2.4-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 154 hp. With. and cost from $20,500. The equipment includes two airbags, central locking, electric mirrors and windows and audio preparation. Not much, of course. All-wheel drive here will be with an Easy Select transmission, with a rigidly connected front axle. The base also comes with a rear differential lock. The famous Super Select transmission, which allows all-wheel drive all year round, is available starting with the Intense trim level, and such a car will cost a minimum of $25,900.

New Suzuki SX4 Although it is not a purebred “Japanese”, the Hungarian assembly is also a good option.

In our catalog, this urban crossover is offered in just one GL trim for $11,600. What will the buyer get for this money? Gas engine volume 1.6 liters, front-wheel drive, 7 airbags, a full set of electronic assistants, air conditioning, on-board computer, cruise control, full power accessories, heated front seats.

Brand dealer Skoda invites customers to make their own choice in favor of Russian or Czech assembly, because both versions of the Rapid model are available for sale.

Our auto catalog presents prices for cars Russian assembly. Current prices You can view cars from the Czech Republic on the dealer’s website. The base engine for cars from the Czech Republic will be a 1.2-liter TSI with a capacity of 90 hp. With. In addition, the Spaceback version is also only available from the Czech Republic. But the price of Czech cars is significantly higher. So, the basic version of the liftback will cost from $15,700. But there are about 10% of buyers who are willing to overpay for the original.

Russia is one of largest producers cars in Europe. Every year, tens of thousands of vehicles of all types roll off the assembly lines of numerous factories - from budget runabouts to large luxury SUVs. And we are talking not only about cars of Russian brands. Last years Automakers from all over the world are striving to strengthen their influence in the domestic market, for which they are opening new factories and assembly lines in Russia.
Now in our country they collect Chinese LIFAN, GEELY, BRILLIANCE and CHERY, French RENAULT, German VOLKSWAGEN, Czech SKODA, Korean HYUNDAI and KIA, Japanese NISSAN and many, many other cars from the world's leading manufacturers. And how can you make a choice in such an incredible variety? Let's look together at the main aspects that you should pay attention to first.

  1. Type vehicle: subcompact hatchback, family sedan, fashionable crossover, passable SUV, a practical station wagon - everything is assembled in Russia! There are even much rarer models such as a van, sports hatchback or station wagon off-road. So decide for what needs you primarily need a car and, based on this, choose its type.
  2. Engine: among Russian-assembled cars there are both owners of modest engines with a volume of 1.3-1.4 liters and a power of less than 100 hp, as well as proud owners power units with a volume of 2 liters or more, producing already under 200 hp. The former provide high fuel efficiency(up to 5 liters of gasoline per 100 km in the extra-urban cycle), the second - high speed and gravity. If you're looking at off-road models with all-wheel drive, it's also worth paying attention to the torque numbers. It is the torque that influences how well the car will handle off-road conditions when driving at low speeds.
  3. Equipment: the most well-equipped budget models of Russian assembly are, as a rule, cars Chinese stamps. But Europeans, Japanese and Koreans are more advanced and modern solutions. But they also cost, of course, more. Optimal ratio rich equipment and a reasonable price can be called latest models main Russian LADA brand. Cars such as VESTA and XRAY received equipment at the level of the best foreign models, but at the same time retained quite competitive prices.
  4. Safety: When buying a car in the 21st century, you should never ignore the issue of passenger protection. It is desirable that there are at least three basic passive and active safety: front airbags for driver and front passenger, anti-lock brake system(ABS) and system electronic distribution braking force(EBD). Well, the more similar technologies are implemented on board the car, the better. When looking through the model's configuration, pay attention to the presence of abbreviations such as ESS, BAS, ESC, VSM, ESP, AFU, TPMS.
  5. Level of adaptation to Russian climatic and road conditions: all domestic models, of course, even at the design stage they were prepared for testing on Russian roads and weather conditions. But this is far from an exception. These days, many foreign manufacturers do not skimp on adapting their cars for the Russian market. For some it is larger and more thoughtful, for others it is less. For example, Korean, very popular in our country KIA model RIO received an increased ground clearance 160 mm and plastic crankcase protection, increased capacity battery (48Ah), heating system increased power (4650 kcal), body and underbody treatment anti-corrosion coating, as well as treating the radiator with a material that protects from an aggressive external environment.
After theory, it’s time to move on to practice! In our showroom there are several dozen Russian-assembled cars from leading domestic and international manufacturers. You are sure to find a car you like with us.

Buying a Russian-assembled car in the showroom official dealer"RIA AVTO", you get a car with ideal ratio prices and quality, because production established in our country allows companies to save on transportation of finished products. In addition, the “Russian registration” of the vehicle guarantees constant availability quality original spare parts. And finally, the vast majority of such models undergo additional adaptation for use in our country.

Until quite recently, cars dominated on the territory of the Russian Federation exclusively. domestic production. Today it is quite difficult to calculate how many international concerns are striving to develop the Russian market. In addition to sales, foreign manufacturers We have already launched the production of cars in the vastness of our homeland.

Evil tongues claim that an imported car will not be so ideal after assembly in the Russian Federation, that the quality of the process is allegedly below average, and the bolts are practically “driven in with hammers.” These speculations are nothing more than rumors.

Russian assembly does not make the car better or worse - it also meets all international standards.

Nowadays, it is generally difficult to find a car that is assembled in its historical homeland, and potential buyers have ceased to give priority to the territorial issue. Automation of the manufacturing process serves as a guarantee of quality.

Transfer of production

Buying a plant and investing in its organization in Russia is much more profitable than transporting it finished cars and pay duties for them, the size of which is quite impressive.

The reasons for foreign investors choosing Russian areas are as follows:

  • the question of transportation disappears by itself;
  • citizens of the country receive more information about a specific brand of car and gain confidence in it;
  • it becomes possible to set a price that will be lower than that of competitors;
  • can be adjusted .

All this makes the Federation an attractive place to start production.

Foreign companies

European brands

Europeans in Russia are represented by powerful automakers.

BMW

The famous Bavarian automaker was one of the first to decide to produce its cars at a plant called Avtotor. This happened back in early 2000 in Kaliningrad.

Eastern guests

Representatives of Asian countries have also chosen the Russian market. Many cars have become bestsellers in our country (for example:). There is no need to even talk about the “Japanese”.

Kia

Kia Motors has started assembly own cars in the vastness of Russia back in 1997. The company has several factories, but the basis of production is considered to be Avtotor in the Kaliningrad region.

Korean cars are represented by “passenger cars” and, of course: (Rio, Ceed, Soul, Sportage 3, Carens, Carnival and Mohave).

The Hyundai company exists in Russian automotive market since 2002 in the city of Taganrog. In the first years of its activity, the company produced exclusively the famous Sonata and Accent models.

This production is “tailored” for the assembly of Cruze, Tahoe and Captiva models.

Legendary and famous in the USA, the Cadillac brand has not gained much love among Russians.

In this regard, only two models are produced in the Russian Federation: SRX and Escalade.

How automation of car production is organized can be seen in next video video, example of assembly Volkswagen cars and Skoda at the plant in Kaluga.

The most popular Russian-made foreign cars.

The quality of cars manufactured at domestic factories, is not inferior to foreign products. Thanks to this fact, the Slavic brothers willingly buy “domestic” products. At the same time, some models are simply uniquely popular.

When purchasing a car, almost all people pay attention to the assembly. Many people think that if a car is made by domestic craftsmen, then it will often break down and some parts, for example, sound insulation, will not reach European quality. Of course, sometimes this is really noticeable, but to the credit of our masters, it is worth noting that such cases are becoming less and less common. By the way, experts note that it is best to buy a car made in your own country. After all, local engineers know all the features of roads and the preferred driving habits of residents.
