In Russia, 43% of motorists began to treat Chinese cars better over the last year and a half. On Avto.ru, “young” cars with a mileage of up to two years have become more common. This is stated in the platform study, the results of which were reviewed by RB.RU.
Analysts explain this trend by the fact that these cars are imported through parallel imports. In addition, cars that were sold new a couple of years ago, when the next wave of expansion of Chinese manufacturers in Russia began, appear on the secondary market.
The average price of a used Chinese car doubled last year, from 700,000 to 1.5 million rubles. Since the beginning of 2023, used Chinese cars have continued to rise in price: from January to March, their average cost has increased by 25%.
According to Avto.ru forecasts, in the coming years, against the background of increased sales, Chinese models will occupy a significant part of cars with a mileage of up to three years.
