Russian automaker XCite has announced a new promotion to help sell off the multi-thousand stock of X-Cross 8 crossovers. As part of the offer, buyers will receive a certificate for four scheduled technical maintenances (TO-0, TO-1, TO-2, TO-3) for just 1 ruble. This will allow owners not to worry about the costs of service and materials for 30 thousand kilometers or three years.
X-Cross 8 is a seven-seater crossover equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with 150 hp and a 7-speed robotic transmission. The car is available with both front and all-wheel drive. The standard equipment includes LED headlights, active safety systems, dual-zone climate control, a 12.3-inch multimedia screen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an audio system with 6 or 8 speakers.
Service maintenance will be carried out through the LADA dealer network. In March 2025, XCite production was suspended due to problems with the supply of components from Chery, which led to the accumulation of 7-10 thousand unsold cars. In the first quarter of 2025, only 1302 cars were sold, which forced dealers to start selling off with discounts of up to 500,000 rubles. Currently, discounts reach 750,000 rubles.
Against the background of these events, AvtoVAZ reported record sales of XCite cars in June 2025, when more than 1.6 thousand units were sold. This was the highest figure since the brand entered the Russian market in 2024, with total sales of 9,500 cars.
