Foreign cars of domestic production. In which cities of Russia cars of famous automobile brands are assembled

15.04.2019

More recently, exclusively domestically produced cars prevailed on the territory of the Russian Federation. Today it is rather difficult to calculate how many international concerns are striving to master the Russian market. In addition to sales, foreign manufacturers have already launched the production of cars in the vastness of our country.

Evil tongues claim that an imported car will not be so perfect after assembly in the Russian Federation, that supposedly the quality of the process is below average, and the bolts are practically "driven in with hammers." These speculations are nothing more than rumors.

The Russian assembly does not make the car better or worse - it also meets all international standards.

At present, it is generally difficult to find a car that is assembled in its historical homeland, and potential buyers have ceased to give priority to the territorial issue. Quality assurance is the automation of the manufacturing process.

Transfer of production

Buying a plant and investing in its organization in Russia is much more profitable than transporting finished cars and paying duties for them, the amount of which is very impressive.

The reasons why foreign investors choose the areas of the Russian Federation are as follows:

the question of transportation disappears by itself;
citizens of the country receive more information about a specific brand of car and imbued with confidence in it;
it becomes possible to set a price that will be lower than that of competitors;
can be corrected.

All this makes the Federation an attractive place to start production.

Foreign companies

Today, on the territory of the state in full force several international concerns operate. Among them are German, American, French, Chinese and many other manufacturers.

European brands

Europeans in Russia are represented by the most powerful auto concerns.

bmw

The famous Bavarian automaker was one of the first to decide to produce its cars at a plant called Avtotor. This happened back in early 2000 in Kaliningrad.

The German company assembles cars of the third and fifth series (X3, X5) and X6, which potential buyers can easily purchase.

The year 2008 was marked by the opening of the Volkswagen plant. In the beginning, only the most successful models(Polo and Touareg), but every year the company's range doubled.

In 2013, more than 200,000 cars left the factory (already the entire model range offered by Volkswagen).

Skoda

The Skoda concern operates on the territory of the Russian Federation. It operates in the Kaluga region, and its products are quite popular in the country.

The main models produced by Skoda are: Octavia, Fabia, Fabia Combi, Superb, Superb Combi, Roomster.

Audi

Audi has also opened factories in Russia and has been successfully promoting its products on the domestic market for several years.

It produces all popular and famous models and their modifications: A1, A4, A3, Q5, A5, A6, and Q7.

In addition to those listed, cars of the following European manufacturers are assembled in the Russian Federation.

Citroen produces models based on the C4 base.

Ford

Ford assembles all of its cars, with the exception of those imported into Germany.

Opel

Opel in Russia offers a full range of its vehicles.

fiat

Fiat produces budget cars of the concern, as well as the Ducato model.

Peugeout

Peugeot in Russian Federation assembles exclusively the 408 sedan.

Renault offers Russians all models of the budget option.

Most automakers from Europe came to domestic market only after 2010, when legislative framework The main changes have taken place and settled in the Russian Federation, restricting the import of "foreign cars".

Eastern guests

The Russian market was also chosen by representatives of Asian countries. A lot of cars have become bestsellers in our country (for example:). There is no need to even talk about the "Japanese".

Kia

Kia Motors has started assembly own machines in the vastness of Russia back in 1997. The company has several factories, but Avtotor in the Kaliningrad region is considered the main production.

Korean cars are represented by "cars" and, of course: (Rio, Ceed, Soul, Sportage 3, Carens, Carnival and Mohave).

Hyundai has been operating in the Russian automotive market since 2002 in the city of Taganrog. In the first years of its activity, the company produced exclusively well-known Sonata and Accent models.

Gradually, all models of the world famous Korean brand joined these two.

The concern from Korea established itself in the Russian city of Taganrog in 2006 and successfully assembles its cars to this day.

Buyers have the opportunity to purchase models such as Rexton, Kyron and Actyon.

In 2007, Toyota opened its production. In 2008-2009, the concern assembled exclusively the Camry model. The plant produced more than 50,000 vehicles annually.

Later to model a number of Camry joined by Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser Prado.

The following representatives of the east also assemble their cars.

Nissan is represented by models: X-Trail, Teana and Murano.

The Mutsibisi auto concern assembles SUVs in the Russian Federation: Outlander and Outlander XL.

Mazda

The Mazda brand offers the 6 Series and CX5 models.

American representatives

Overseas multimillionaires also decided to launch the production of their cars on Slavic soil. True, there are still few of them.

The Chevrolet plant is located in the city of Togliatti and has been operating since 2002, manufacturing competitive cars.

This production is "sharpened" for the assembly of Cruze, Tahoe and Captiva models.

Legendary and famous in the United States, the Cadillac brand did not win much love from Russians.

In this regard, only two models are produced in the Russian Federation: SRX and Escalade.

Perhaps, these are all representatives of the American continent, officially collecting their brainchildren on the territory of the federation.

How the automation of car production is organized can be found in next video video, assembly example Volkswagen cars and Skoda at the plant in Kaluga.

The most popular foreign cars Russian assembly.

The quality of cars made in domestic factories, is not inferior to foreign products. Thanks to this fact, the Slavic brothers willingly buy "domestic" products. At the same time, some models have simply unique popularity.

The most expensive model of the line is Audi with gasoline engine, volume of 4 liters. Buy one like this iron horse"can be for 6 500 000 rubles.

bmw 7s

A complete set with a six-liter engine can be called the most expensive car of the brand. Its cost is 7,400,000 rubles.

This sport utility vehicle will delight you in just 2 250 000 rubles.

Almost absolutely safe car from the legendary "Ford" will get the applicant for 1,733,000 rubles.

Toyota Prado

For a given, widely famous car have to pay 1,720,000 rubles.

Starting from 2019, cars will be assembled in Russia Mercedes cars. The enterprise will be built in the Esipovo industrial park, about 40 km from Moscow. The plant, which will invest at least 250 million euros, will assemble E-class sedans and crossovers. The plant will become the seventeenth enterprise in Russia, where passenger cars are mass-produced.

It is interesting that foreign automotive enterprises began to appear on the territory of Russia only at the very end of the 20th century. Even with the collapse Soviet Union, in which, of course, there were no such factories, foreigners were afraid to enter the unstable post-Soviet market and, moreover, invest significant investments in it.

The situation more or less stabilized only in the early 2000s. But it should also be noted here that the initial functioning of auto enterprises on the territory of Russia had its own distinctive features. They were engaged in assembling models exclusively from ready-made car kits that came from abroad. This type of assembly was a complete set of the car with parts and elements already produced at the parent factories of the companies. Moreover, at first, foreigners did not even trust Russian specialists to assemble particularly complex systems and mechanisms of cars.

The Russian customs duty on the import of spare parts was much lower than on the same import already finished cars. Therefore, many automotive companies have effectively used this. But soon, full-cycle plants appeared on the territory of Russia, which continue to function productively to this day.

Screwdriver assembly or full cycle production?

The same "screwdriver assembly" (SKD - Semi Knocked Down), which was on everyone's lips when foreign automakers appeared in our country, is just one of the popular ways to reduce the price of customs clearance of a car. Fully finished car partially dismantled (remove the wheels, engine, gearbox), imported in parts, and then simply assembled back as a designer. Cars were produced in this way, for example, the Kaliningrad "Avtotor" or the Moscow "Avtoframos" (models Koleos, Fluence and Latitude).

The assembly of CKD (Complete Knock Down) implies, in addition to tightening the nuts, also the stamping of panels, welding of the body, as well as subsequent painting, that is, the production of a full cycle. Almost all Russian enterprises are now switching to this type of production: this is how the most popular models of the type Ford Focus, Volkswagen Polo sedan or Hyundai Solaris.

Is there a difference

Domestic cars and imported analogues usually slightly different. Let's start with the fact that foreign cars Russian edition they install more reliable and stiff shock absorbers and stabilizers, since our roads are far from being the same as in Europe, America or Japan. For the same reason on Russian counterparts they put protection on the crankcase of the motor and increase the clearance (this is the distance from the ground (floor covering) to the lower central part of the car, in Russia it is also customary to call it - “ ground clearance"). And all the electronics of a car manufactured in the Russian Federation is designed for operation at very low temperatures. Other than that, the cars look the same.

Lada is also a foreign car

That's when you start to think, maybe in vain the domestic automaker was ridiculed for so long and with high quality? In KVN and several other extremely popular humorous programs in our country, inadvertently, yes, they will walk along VAZ models. And when AvtoVAZ controls foreign company, it was a little pitiful ...

Now AvtoVAZ is part of the Renault-Nissan alliance, so the alliance can use it without restriction. Next to the main line, where Lada 4x4, Granta and Kalina go, there is a conveyor for assembling cars on the B0 platform. Part - under own name Lada, part - Renault and Nissan.

In fact, as many as 6 models are assembled in Togliatti from the same components: Granta / Kalina and the twins Datsun on-Do and mi-Do, as well as Lada Largus / Renault Logan, Sandero / Nissan Almera, which are, in fact, a variation of one and the same the same machine, but different types body. That is, AvtoVAZ, in addition to Renault cars and Nissan, also produces Datsun models, which are, according to by and large, reworked "Frets". Because cars under Japanese brand 70% Russian.

What and where is collected

There are quite a lot of foreign assembly plants in Russia, while the general geography of assemblies is quite wide. are going different models(up to about 100 varieties of foreign cars). Also in Russia, a whole scattering of Chinese cars is produced: Chery, Geely, Lifan, etc. And these brands are not going to change the grandiose plans for the development of our country. For example, Haval is building a plant in Tula to produce full-cycle cars.

In total, there are now 16 factories in Russia, which produce:

Saint Petersburg - Hyundai plant (Hyundai Solaris, Creta; Kia Rio);

Saint Petersburg - Nissan plant (Nissan X-Trail, Murano, PathfinderAndQashqai);

Prepared based on open sources

Can you trust the Russian assembly? Disputes on this score do not subside - and for those who are firmly convinced of the inability of "our" hands to assemble a car, we have prepared a selection of real imported cars. Only from there. Only hardcore!

Perhaps one of the most joyful and attractive offers is the Toyota RAV4. Straight from Japan! That is, for such a price - real Japanese assembly that everyone trusts.

The basic version of the SUV is offered for $16,400. Even in the initial configuration "Classic" RAV4 will be equipped with everything you need: a complete set active funds safety, 9 airbags, on-board computer, air conditioning, full power accessories. Front-wheel drive, engine - 146-horsepower two-liter gasoline, gearbox - manual. Prices for all-wheel drive RAV4s start at $20,300 for a Classic car with a CVT.

Another attractive option Japanese brand- model Corolla. Now it is made in Turkey. Perhaps this seems to someone more acceptable than the Russian assembly.

Corolla prices are now more than ever attractive. The basic version "Standard" costs only 11,000 dollars. The base is a 1.3-liter gasoline engine (99 hp), 2 airbags, air conditioning, central locking, audio preparation, electric mirrors and front windows. Modest, but enough.

Most of the company's lineup Nissan is assembled at a factory in Russia, but there is a pleasant exception - Nissan Juke, which is assembled in Japan and England.

Prices for this extravagant crossover start at $11,240. The most affordable version of the Base offers a 1.6-liter 97-horsepower gasoline engine, front-wheel drive, 6 airbags, full power accessories, audio system. But there is no air conditioning. And the most expensive version, with a 190-horsepower turbo engine, all-wheel drive and all the bells and whistles, including all-round cameras and xenon headlights, will cost $18,400.

For a long time after the fall of the Russian ruble, the representative of the brand Mazda went very hard. But now everything seems to have shifted from dead center. So far, only three models are offered, two of which are produced at the plant in Vladivostok - the Mazda6 and Mazda CX5. But the Mazda3 model is still being produced at home, in Japan.

And at the same time, prices were kept at an acceptable level. A car with a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 104 hp. With. and a four-band automatic transmission costs from $14,800, which is quite a bit for a thoroughbred "Japanese", and even with an "automatic". In addition, the basic version offers a complete set electronic assistants, 8 airbags, air conditioning, audio system, full power accessories. Version from modern motor generation SkyActive with a volume of 1.5 liters and a capacity of 120 liters. With. costs $100 more. The equipment will be similar, but the “automatic” is six-band.

A pickup, of course, is a very niche car, and in the current crisis there are few who want to buy it. But still Nissan offers a good option.

The Navara is made at the company's plant in Spain and retails for $18,900. In principle, for a utilitarian car, even the base Navara will be well equipped: 2 airbags, full power accessories, central locking, audio preparation. But the air conditioner in the basic version is not provided. But there is a 190-horsepower diesel engine and a manual transmission. The drive is full, Part-Time, with a rigidly connected front axle. By the way, there is a lock in the database rear differential. For $ 26,600, a car is offered in the maximum configuration with a 231-horsepower 3-liter diesel engine and automatic transmission.

And here Mitsubishi L200 even cheaper and made in Thailand.

The base pickup version costs $17,100. This is the price for a previous generation car. Cars of the current model year equipped with a 2.4-liter diesel engine of a new generation with a capacity of 154 liters. With. and cost from $20,500. The equipment includes two airbags, central locking, electric mirrors and windows, and audio preparation. It's bad, of course. All-wheel drive here will be with an Easy Select transmission, with a rigidly connected front axle. The base also includes a locking rear differential. famous transmission Super Select, which allows you to drive all-wheel drive all year round, is available starting with the Intense trim level, and such a machine will cost a minimum of $25,900.

New Suzuki SX4 although it is not a purebred "Japanese", but the Hungarian assembly is also a good option.

In our catalog, this urban crossover is offered in just one GL trim for $11,600. What will the buyer get for this money? 1.6 liter gasoline engine, front-wheel drive, 7 airbags, a full set of electronic assistants, air conditioning, an on-board computer, cruise control, full power accessories, heated front seats.

brand dealer Skoda offers customers to make their own choice in favor of the Russian or Czech assembly, because both versions of the Rapid model are available for sale.

Our autocatalog presents prices for cars assembled in Russia. Current prices for cars from the Czech Republic can be viewed on the dealer's website. base motor for cars from the Czech Republic there will be a 1.2-liter TSI power 90 l. With. In addition, the Spaceback version is also only available in the Czech Republic. But the price of Czech cars is much higher. So, the basic version of the liftback will cost from $15,700. But there are about 10% of buyers who are ready to overpay for the original.

Oh, it's good to ride with the breeze in a car! And cars of which country-manufacturer do you like the most? A survey was conducted, the purpose of which was to find out the opinion of respondents about which countries produce the best cars. Read more...

The Russian assembly is produced by German concerns. No wonder they do not seek to localize production: the parts and spare parts of our suppliers do not meet strict German standards. Of all the German automakers, BMW has become a pioneer, having established the assembly of its models at a plant in Kaliningrad. There are currently five models: 3-series, 5-series, X3, X5 and X6. The Volkswagen plant in the Kaluga region assembles about 20 models with Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda brands. Volkswagen: Polo, Sedan, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Passat CC, Tiguan, Touareg, Caddy Life, Transporter/Multivan. Skoda: Fabia, Yeti, Octavia, Octavia Tour, Superb. Audi: A4, A5, A6, Q5, Q7. It is possible that the line Volkswagen cars Russian assembly will be expanded through cooperation with the GAZ plant. In addition to German foreign cars, French and italian models. Renault, in addition to widely famous model Logan, collects the Sandero hatchback and Duster crossover. Peugeot produces the 308 and 4007 models, while Citroen produces the C4 car and the C-Crosser crossover. Italian Fiat in Tatarstan has established the assembly of Albea and Linea sedans, commercial model Doblo panorama. In Yelabuga, Ducato is produced in various modifications. Americans also keep a wide range of foreign cars assembled in Russia. First of all, the Chevrolet concern stands out with a wide range. His most famous model is Chevrolet Niva. In addition to it, models are assembled Chevrolet Aveo, Lacetti, Cruze, Epica, Captiva, Trailblazer, Tahoe, and Opel Astra and Antara. Collected and luxury Cadillac models: BLS, CTS, STS, SRX, Escalade. Ford does not differ in the breadth of the assortment, but its Focus models and Mondeo are extremely popular. The commercial Ford Transut also sells well. From Asian manufacturers by the ratio good quality and reasonable prices stand out Korean . Kia Rio, Cee`d, Carens, Magentis, Opirus, Carnival, Sportage and Mohave. That is, almost the entire line of their own models. Hyundai does not lag behind: Elantra, Accent, Solaris, Sonata, Santa Fe, Porter, and from heavy equipment, County and Aero Town and HD500 buses. And the latest South Korean company assembles Rexton, Kyron, Action, Action Sports in Russia. Taganrog TagAZ assembles Tager and Road Partner off-road vehicles discontinued in Korea. The Japanese use a strategy similar to the German one - they do not seek to assemble as many models as possible in Russia, and those that are already on the market are equipped with only Japanese spare parts and parts. Japanese models A little: Toyota Camry, Mitsubishi Outlander XL, Nissan Teana, X-Trail and Murano. stand apart Chinese models. Models assembled in Russia do not differ in quality from branded ones. It is understandable: due to the low quality and simplicity of design, manufacturers keep low prices to their cars. In our country are going Lifan Solano and Breez, Geely Otaka and MK, Haima 3, Chery Amulet, Fora and Tiggo. From manufacturers trucks their budget models produce Scania Griffin, International 9800, Isuzu NLR and NQR.
