Car manufacturers from September 16 to September 30, 2023, did not change prices for their models that are officially sold on the Russian market. This data is provided by experts at "Price Auto."
Prior to this, a massive price increase was recorded in August, when price tags were rewritten for 15 brands at once. This price jump occurred for the first time since May 2022.
In August, the price increase was associated with the introduction of a new recycling fee, as well as the weakening of the national currency. Similar factors influenced the pricing policy of automakers in the period from September 1 to September 15. In the first half of the month, 9 brands decided to raise prices for their models.
In Russia, according to a government decree, from August 1, the recycling fee for cars, buses, and trucks that enter the country for subsequent resale has been increased. The fee applies to companies and individuals who import more than 1 vehicle per year into the country.
