Chinese car manufacturers will fill vacant positions in the Russian market

The Russian Federation is a huge market for car manufacturers from different countries. Just over the past few months, most European and American brands have broken off partnerships with the Russian Federation. This is due to the economic sanctions imposed by the UN due to the start of a military operation in Ukraine.


While Europe and the United States were spoiling the business of their manufacturers, who were simply forced to leave the Russian market in order not to fall under penalties, China was watching. Experts have repeatedly prophesied that a serious expansion of cars from China is coming. It won't be long before the decision has already been made.

Representatives of the Chinese auto industry have received instructions from their government to fill vacant positions in the Russian automotive market as a matter of urgency. The largest brands from the Celestial Empire have begun to implement this plan. They began to assemble cars specially adapted for Russian conditions.

In the second half of 2022, the Chinese manufacturer plans to bring the Omoda 5 model to the Russian market. This is a stylish and modern crossover created in the popular sports coupe body type.

It should be noted that the car is a five-door. The concept of "sport coupe" for crossovers means only a stylish appearance. The model is not yet mass-produced for the Russian Federation, but they promise to launch its production this summer. Sales of Chery Omoda 5 in Russia will begin shortly after the debut.

The car will be supplied with a non-alternative 1,6-liter turbocharged engine developing 200 hp. With. The gearbox is also in one version - a seven-speed "robot". The model will receive a number of modern safety and driver assistance options.



Chinese manufacturers are going to occupy niches not only of budget cars - they have swung at the middle and business classes. After the departure of European and American brands, gaps formed there.

The Chinese will try to meet the demand of Russians for new cars. The PRC has long had such an opportunity in all classes - it is enough to visit at least one thematic exhibition to understand this.

The information about the expansion of new car models to the Russian market was also confirmed by the Chinese Ambassador. This applies not only to passenger cars, expansion is also planned in the segment of light and medium trucks, pickups.
