Inexpensive new foreign car. The most reliable and inexpensive cars to maintain in Russia

26.04.2019

Earlier, we have already talked about the most interesting discounts and promotions that automakers offer to Russian buyers on the eve of the new year. And today we’ll talk about universal tips that apply when buying a new car at any time of the year.

Recently, American experts talked about five tricks that will help when purchasing a car. We decided to study how their practice is applicable to our realities. And at the same time find out if there are any typically Russian ways to save money when buying a car. So the Americans recommend...

Always quote the lowest price

A favorite technique of sales managers are questions concerning the cost of the car. For example, questions like: "What budget do you expect?" or "How much are you willing to pay for a car per month?". Thus, the dealership employees will immediately know how much they can earn on your purchase. In this regard, the experts of the Womansarticle publication recommend counterattacking, using phrases like "I need the most low price that you can offer", or ask to see the price list first, and then disclose your budget. Another tip is to find an advertising booklet and name the price 10-20% lower than the value indicated under this or that model.

In our opinion, such advice is much more suitable for American market. This is due to the local peculiarities of sales. The fact is that dealers in the US can be more flexible than ours, and sometimes even sell cars at prices below the recommended ones. And yet, there is a reasonable link in the recommendations of the Americans. When talking to a manager, it's always best to quote a price lower than what you're willing to actually pay, because the various options will still end up costing you more. Counterattack in conversation - too good advice. If you do not bring down the cost of the car, then at least you can find out about various promotions and discounts.

Do not take additional options

Nowadays many automotive companies receive a significant portion of their income from option sales and additional equipment. In some models, certain options, such as Bluetooth support, may be included in the list of basic equipment. However, there are many such options that are expensive, but almost never used in real life. Therefore, the Americans recommend paying close attention to the proposed equipment and refusing if the manager offers you equipment that you do not need. What's more, many dealers give big discounts on less popular versions of cars with fewer options. Therefore, experts recommend paying attention to these modifications if price is important to you.

In general, these tips apply to Russian conditions. We also recommend that before you go to the salon, clearly determine which items of equipment you need in future car. And do not go beyond these limits. It is also sometimes worth paying attention to the various options packages - it is often cheaper to take a whole "kit" than to recruit equipment one by one. Finally, you can safely refuse to purchase certain options. For example, floor mats for a new car can be bought on the Internet, or at the car market, and at a price 2-3 times lower than offered by the dealer.

Never order an extended warranty

Another popular way for dealers to cash in on new car buyers is to offer an extended warranty. As a rule, this means that for a certain amount, the dealer will expand warranty obligations for your car for 1-3 years. However, experts do not recommend using these programs. As the Americans note, the fact is that the probability of your car breaking down over the specified period is extremely small. Both dealers and automakers are not fools, and it is no coincidence that they sell an additional guarantee for a period of 1-3 years, but no more. However, such a "service" will be paid out of your own pocket, and you, most likely, will not receive anything for it.

Note that it is difficult to disagree with the American experts here. The extended warranty not only means additional expenses for its acquisition, but also binding to the service from official dealer. Moreover, unlike the usual guarantee, we can talk about a very specific car dealership, where they sell you such a service. Ask yourself a simple question: what is the probability that something will happen to your car in a given period? And at the same time, calculate how much it costs additional guarantee and service from the "officials". It is very likely that after such a simple calculation, the desire to buy an additional guarantee will disappear by itself.

Talk only to the manager

And here is another piece of American advice that applies exclusively to the United States. So, experts advise to skip the sales manager (sales person) and communicate exclusively with his manager, from whom you can quickly learn about active promotions and discounts.

However, for Russia, this advice is absolutely irrelevant, since our sales managers are engaged in communicating with customers in the showroom, informing about discounts, and processing the transaction itself, but in the USA this is the field of activity of different employees. But in Russia, it would not be superfluous to give another piece of advice - to carefully read the contract for the sale of a vehicle. Especially - pay attention that it contains all the nuances agreed with the manager, and there are no additional commissions.

Research the market before visiting a car dealership

If you come to the salon and know exactly what kind of car you want to buy, you know the cost of the selected configuration, the price of such a car, as well as competitors, it will be much more difficult to "divorce" you into buying something unnecessary. That is why American experts advise before visiting car dealer, carefully familiarize yourself with the specifications of the desired model. This will give you the confidence to talk to the sales manager and allow you to negotiate additional bonuses for yourself.

Such advice will be relevant not only for the United States, but also for Russia. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, especially knowledge of the car's equipment. If, in a conversation with a manager, you concrete examples If you can show why you specifically want this or that version, it will be quite difficult to convince you. The manager will only have to offer you certain bonuses or gifts, thanks to which the purchase of another version may become more attractive. And if it doesn’t, then even more so - you will avoid unnecessary expenses. On our own, we add that the advice to study the market will not be superfluous, and if you want to hand over your car for trade-in. At a minimum, you will know how much such machines are valued on the market.

And what do we have?

Thus, you can be sure that most of the American tips for buying a new car work not only in the United States, but are also quite applicable in Russian conditions. Are there any tricks to save money on buying a car in Russia? Of course. For example, it is much cheaper to buy a new car at the end of the year. Firstly, often automakers raise prices for their products from the new year. Second, sell out more cars Dealers themselves are striving, and the discount is a kind of "fee" for the TCP, dating from the outgoing year. In addition, sometimes the sales manager may be aiming for a bonus on the number of cars sold. As a rule, this is especially true at the end of the year for premium brands, so the seller will be most interested in you buying a car from him, and this can and should be used.

The cheapest new cars of other classes

Let's not ignore the most affordable cars of less popular categories on the market.

The cheapest new cars with "automatic"

And now it's the turn to pay attention to the most affordable cars with an automatic transmission - popularly known as a "chopper":

The first in this category will be the Uzbek RAVON R2(slightly modified Chevrolet Spark). The car stands out among its fellows compact size and low price - 370 thousand rubles. In addition, it can be distinguished 4-speed automatic transmission, engine power of 85 liters. With. and its volume is 1.2 liters. The car can accelerate to the cherished “weave” in 12.4 seconds.

The second in the price hierarchy will be Chinese Lifan Smily New. It is equipped with a fundamentally new "automatic" - stepless gearbox CVT gear. The rotation here is also transmitted according to the principle familiar to Leonardo da Vinci - through a chain or belt. The Lifan engine will clearly not be its advantage - 88 hp. with a volume of 1.3 liters. And the cost of the "Chinese" is very attractive - 440-445 thousand rubles, depending on the year of leaving the assembly line.
Datsun mi-DO. Many motorists compare this imaginary "Japanese" with the "Lada Kalina". And for good reason - "Datsun" is assembled in Russia, according to rumors, on the same conveyors as the works of AvtoVAZ. But the AMT on the Datsun mi-DO cannot be found - there is a four-speed Jatco automatic here, with which it is possible to feel the smoothness of the car. Its engine power is 87 hp. s., and - 512 thousand rubles.
Renault Logan and Sandero. The cheapest new cars among them are exclusively Russian assembly. Like the Ladas, they are equipped with the same 5-speed automated "robot" gearbox, but made in France. It is complemented by an 82 hp engine. There are also 4-speed AMTs that work with a 120-horsepower engine, but they cost 50 thousand rubles more. The cost of the first type of "Logan" - 538 thousand rubles, "Sandero" - 572 thousand in Russian currency.

Russian inexpensive cars with "automatic"

Among the machines domestic auto industry There are two categories in this category:

And again Russian "Lada Granta". Here we will pay attention to models in which a "robot" (AMT, automated box) manufactured by ZT (Germany) is added to the standard 5-speed "mechanics". This mechanism is able to squeeze the clutch instead of the driver, as well as switch to the desired gears. This business is complemented by an engine with a capacity of 106 hp. The disadvantages of AMT in comparison with a traditional automatic machine will be a slower start of the car (you should squeeze the gas pedal well) and a possible rollback if you parked on a hill. The advantage will be visible fuel savings compared to the "mixer" (manual transmission), as well as the lower cost of the car itself - the minimum cost of such a "Lada Grant" is 474 thousand rubles.
"Lada Kalina". The machine has an AMT of the same type and the same power as the "Grant". However, they consider the more attractive "Kalina" It costs a little more than the previous creation of AvtoVAZ - 482 thousand rubles.

Now consider the top three most affordable crossovers and SUVs in Moscow.

The following table shows the trio of the cheapest new cars of Chinese origin.

Finally, let's get acquainted with the cheapest car models in the world.

The most affordable cars in the world

Let's imagine the top three most attractive cars for the price:

1. What is the cheapest new car in the world? Definitely indian bajaj RE60! After all, the cost of this miniature and cozy sedan does not exceed $ 700. In the Russian equivalent, it will be no more than 40 thousand rubles. The basis for such a miracle of technology is a three-wheeled motorcycle, so popular with the Indians. Motor power - 20 l. s., and its volume is 200 cm 3. These indicators help lightly accelerate to 70 km / h.

2. In the second position again creation Indian car industry- TATA Nano. Its cost is 2 thousand dollars. As for the appearance of the car, many find it awkward and strange. Specifications: power of 35 liters. s., engine capacity - 0.6 liters, acceleration - up to 100 km / h in 30 seconds.

3. The cheapest new cars in the world include Chery QQ - an almost exact copy of the Daewoo Matiz. The car costs 4.7 thousand dollars, exactly repeating everything specifications original. It can only be purchased in China for the time being.

This concludes our review of the most affordable cars in various categories in Moscow, the Russian Federation and the whole world. Whether it is worth buying the cheapest car in its class, whether the quality will suffer from the price - this is a completely different question.

1. ZAZ Chance

A budget car that has changed its name three times in its history. The model was originally called Daewoo Lanos, then Chevrolet Lanos. After that, she received a Ukrainian “registration permit” and began to be produced by the Zaporizhzhya Automobile Plant under the name ZAZ Chance. Frankly speaking, not only the name changed: along with it, many elements from Korean became Ukrainian - not without loss of quality. Apparently, this is also why a very inexpensive car did not become a bestseller - more modern "state employees" from Renault, VW and the same Daewoo (I'm not talking about Lada) did not let the noisy and rudely executed "zazu" shoot ...

But still, on this moment"Chance" remains the cheapest car with "automatic" in our market.

Engine: 1.5 l, 101 l. With.

349,900 rubles (+80,000 rubles to basic version).

2. Lada Granta

The VAZ "state employee" replaced in the Lada model range the cars of the "classic" family that had finally gone down in history - and became the heir to their glory. In all senses. First modern Russian car with automatic transmission received a 4-speed “automatic” from Jatco, which is upgraded version box, which was installed back in 1989 on Nissan Sunny. During the year that the “automated” Granta is available for sale, it managed to rise in price: from 373,300 to 385,200 rubles.

You can’t call it a breakthrough: simple, or rather simplified, without any frills. So-so managed, so-so rides, so-so interior, so-so design. On the other hand, the sedan, on the other hand, is sold throughout the country, the majority of whose residents cannot afford more expensive “automatic machines” ...

Engine: 1.6 l, 98 l. With.

Starting price of the version with automatic transmission: 385,200 rubles (+106,200 rubles to the basic version).

3. Lada Kalina 2

Class "A" car, which is, in fact, the third Daewoo generation Matiz and occupying the second place in its class in popularity in Russia. comes to our market with two engines, but the "automatic", oddly enough, is available only with the "weakest" of the two, 1.0-liter. But such a Spark costs only a little more than the VAZ Kalina 2 ...

Otherwise, the smallest Chevrolet is a typical urban runabout. Very modest in size, without a trunk, but nimble, not a competitor in the competition "who is the first from a traffic light", but more or less reliable .. nice car for novice drivers without pretensions. And with a gun, it’s also suitable for the fair sex, who are not too confident behind the wheel.

Engine: 1.0 l, 68 l. With.

Starting price of the version with automatic transmission: 446,000 rubles (+30,000 rubles to the basic version).

5 Daewoo Gentra

New golf-class sedan from Uzbek Uz-Daewoo, which is a converted version of the Chevrolet Lacetti model, discontinued at the end of last year. With a starting price of 399,000 rubles, Gentra has become the most affordable car in its class on our market. At the same time, the basic equipment is by no means “empty”: there is air conditioning, two airbags, adjustable in height steering column, power windows front and rear doors.

Gentra is just coming to us, and it is not easy to say what place it will take in our lives - there are few driver reviews. The Uzbek manufacturer has not been seen in the production of junk - there is always a demand for his simple but reliable machines. Another question is what is the competition in the segment for last years oh how you have grown.

Engine: 1.5 l, 105 l. With.

Starting price of the version with automatic transmission: 449,000 rubles (+50,000 rubles to the basic version).

6 Citroen C1/Peugeot 107

The first in our rating are “100% foreign cars”, made without much regard for our market and our preferences. Therefore, very stylish and very small. Like Spark, it is a completely urban option, optimal for traveling to work and taking the child to school.

In order to reduce costs and, accordingly, prices, manufacturers have completely unified the design of cars (with the exception of some details in the design of the front end) and the chassis. And pendants and steering and borrowed from Toyota Yaris II generation. Since the beginning of this year, restyled versions of cars have been sold in Russia. As an alternative to the "mechanics", both cars are equipped not with a traditional "automatic", but with a robotic manual gearbox, which requires a special approach to operation ...

Engine: 1.0 l, 68 l. With.

Starting price of versions with automatic transmission. Citroen C1: 471,000 rubles for three-door version(+67,000 rubles to the basic version), 479,000 rubles. - for a five-door (+23,000 rubles to the basic version). Peugeot 107: 484,000 rubles for the three-door version (+77,000 rubles to the basic version), 494,000 rubles. - for a five-door (+79,000 rubles to the basic version).

7. Renault Logan/Sandero

So much has been said and written about that I don’t even want to repeat myself. In short - not particularly aesthetic, but roomy (for their size), reliable, easy to manage and operate. That is why they are popular in Russia. Designed by Renault in collaboration with Dacia Logan sedan and the Sandero hatchback became the first models of the Romanian brand revived by the French. In Russia, Logan became a pioneer in the class budget foreign cars: it was on him that Hyundai Solaris and Volkswagen, which followed him, began to be equal Polo Sedan. Last year Logan and Sandero II generations. The start of their sales in Russia is scheduled for the end of this year.

Engine: 1.6 l, 103 l. With.

Starting price of the version with automatic transmission: 473,000* rubles for Sandero (+109,000 rubles to the basic version), 500,000 rubles for Logan (+151,000 rubles to the basic version).

*) From March 2013 Renault Sandero Expression with automatic transmission is available only if you order the Air Conditioning option for 25,000 rubles.

8. Hyundai Solaris

The car is a fantastic success of the Korean manufacturer, which took into account all the needs of a mass Russian driver with certain capabilities. Budget car built by Koreans on the basis of Accent models fourth generation and designed specifically for countries with rapidly developing markets, we sell hundreds of thousands. Because beautiful, reliable, modern. Suitable for a small family, it will take you to a not too abandoned dacha, and what else do you need ... Do you want a more powerful motor, you want a weaker one, you want a “show-off” package, you want a modest one. The choice is yours.

If anyone does not know, "Russian" are issued on Hyundai-Kia factory near St. Petersburg for the full production cycle. At the same plant in St. Petersburg, a "co-platform" is produced Kia Rio, but with Rio's "automatic" it costs much more than Solaris.

Engines: 1.4 l, 107 l. With.; 1.6 l, 123 l. With.

Starting price of the version with automatic transmission: 480,000 rubles for the hatchback version, 494,000 rubles. - for a sedan (+35,000 to the basic version, regardless of body type).

9. Kia Picanto

A Korean subcompact with a bright design, good basic equipment and, as the site found out during a test drive, a very temperamental character. The current, second generation, has been produced since 2011 and is in good demand in our country. Last year, the car was sold in Russia with a circulation of 5.5 thousand copies, ranking third in sales in its class. The secret of success is the aforementioned design, solid assembly, and the absence of obvious flaws.

Picanto, although a baby, is bigger than the aforementioned French couple. And also a "clean foreign car." Behind her wheel, you can even get a well-known driver's pleasure.

Engine: 1.2 l, 85 l. With.

Starting price of the version with automatic transmission: 499,900 rubles for the three-door version (+110,000 rubles to the basic version), 509,900 rubles. - for a five-door (+120,000 rubles to the basic version).

10 Chevrolet Cobalt

Budget sedan from Chevrolet, "arrived" in our country this spring. Like most models in this class - and this review, Cobalt is designed for rapidly developing markets, and is especially popular in South America (Argentina and Brazil). Cars produced in Uzbekistan, in the city of Asaka, are delivered to Russia.

Cobalt - according to the first sensations - the same Logan, the differences between them are purely taste, while driving is minimal. But unlike Logan, Chevrolet has not yet received the glory of “proven” and “reliable”.

Engine: 1.5 l, 105 l. With.

Starting price of the version with automatic transmission: 503,000 rubles (+59,000 rubles to the basic version).

Resume website

As you can see, the “automatic” box today in Russia is not a luxury at all, but quite available option. Moreover, the choice of cars with automatic transmission is very wide, even in the segment up to 500,000 rubles!

As our tests show, the “automatic” on such cars is just an opportunity to get rid of the need to work with the left foot and “pull the handle”. Do not expect enchanting speed and lulling smoothness. Most of the transmissions on the list are outdated by modern standards. To pay extra money for them or not is a personal matter for everyone ...

The indicated price is not final. Manufacturers reserve the right to change their pricing policy upwards.

The cheapest new car and the subtleties of choice

There is an opinion among motorists that it is much more difficult to buy a good, cheap car than an expensive one. This is due to the fact that manufacturers are trying to cut costs, which often results in a budget car built on the basis of outdated designs, with a low level of comfort and reliability.

Do not focus only on the cost of the vehicle. Not always the cheapest cars, these are the most economical cars. Often, maintenance and operating costs can be significantly higher than those of more expensive models. Before buying, you should study the data on fuel consumption, the cost of spare parts and maintenance.

More profitable in terms of savings are diesel cars, however, maintenance of such vehicles must be carried out more often than gasoline ones. In addition, their power supply system is expensive and sensitive to fuel quality, which is especially important in Russia.

Therefore, choosing the most economical diesel cars, it is also worth calculating the costs of possible repairs. You should not hope that an affordable budget car will be equipped with an automatic. Such a checkpoint goes like additional option and you will have to pay extra for it.

Low purchase price.
Inexpensive service.
Low price of spare parts and consumables.
Small fuel consumption.
Reliability.

As a rule, according to these criteria, you can choose only the most budget cars, but such cars have proven themselves well when operating in Russia.
