Dealers have begun actively offering Chinese crossovers at prices below official ones, offering significant discounts on cars ahead of the new year. In some cases, for example, on the BAIC X55 model, savings can reach up to 350 thousand rubles.
Particularly noteworthy is the discount on the Chinese crossover BAIC X55, assembled in Russia. Dealer Major Auto offers the model in the Elite configuration with a 177-horsepower 1.5-liter engine and a "robot" for 2.9 million rubles, although the official price is 3.25 million rubles. The seller explained the price reduction by the desire to "meet customers' needs."
The discount also applies to another Chinese crossover — the SWM G01, which is assembled in Kaliningrad. The model in the Optimum configuration with a 1.5-liter engine with 139 hp and a "robot" is sold for 1.9 million rubles, while the official price is 2.495 million rubles.
The Moskvich 6 liftback, built on the basis of the Chinese JAC J7, in the Comfort configuration with a 1.5-liter engine with 136 hp, is sold by a Moscow dealer for 2.1 million rubles, despite its official price of 2.2 million rubles. A discount of 100 thousand rubles is also offered on the Moskvich 6 in the Business configuration, the cost of which has been reduced from 2.4 million to 2.3 million rubles.
Sellers explain such significant discounts by the desire to sell as many 2023 cars as possible before the new year, which is reflected in the current price lists.
