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. Volkswagen factory in the Kaluga region assembles about 20 models with the brands Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda. 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 the well-known Logan model, assembles 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, as well as 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 price Korean stand out. 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 prices low for 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.
Russians are increasingly betraying the dream of the 90s to drive a full-fledged foreign car, and today the market for imported cars is only 17% of the total number of new cars sold. However, it is still possible to buy a purebred foreign car. What and for how much - our site understood.
The decision to supply Twizy to Russia is such French humor
Of the more or less sane Hyundai options offers the Czech i30 (from 870 thousand rubles), but the model is preparing for a generational change, and Hyundai is selling stocks of 2016 release. The recently tested Suzuki SX4 of the Hungarian assembly from 1.129 million rubles is almost 200 thousand rubles more expensive than the localized Hyundai Creta, which perfectly illustrates the scale of the disaster - imported foreign cars have ceased to be competitive due to a radical increase in prices due to both duties and unfavorable for imports at exchange rates.
The share of imports in 2016 decreased to 16.8% of the market volume, and for every imported foreign car there are 3.5 produced in Russia. Back in 2012, foreign cars occupied a third of the market, and in 2007 - more than half.
Import by country
The list of importing countries includes almost all automotive powers, but in many cases the range includes a handful of models. From the USA, only heavy crossovers are brought to us, for which the States are the main sales market, and the Chevrolet Corvette sports car remains the only exception.
Chevrolet Tahoe is coming to us from the USA. But in this case there are no alternatives
Customs from Germany sees only Volkswagen, from England comes Honda CR-V, the French supply a couple of Peugeot yes Smart models, South Korea – KIA Soul and Picanto, as well as Ssangyong Tivoli (assuming that its sales still started). The brook from Thailand is alive thanks to pickups, Toyota stubbornly makes Corolla for Russia in Turkey, the once popular Spanish assembly in Russia has come to naught (well, maybe Twizy). Separately, we note the Eastern European countries: Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia ... But only 1-2 models come to Russia from them.
The Japanese rule
Russia is the most active importer Japanese cars, both in terms of assortment and in absolute terms - Japan accounts for more than 40% of all auto imports. Remains Japanese stamp Subaru, Mazda import "three rubles", Mitsubishi - Pajero, Nissan - Patrol. From bestsellers - Toyota Land Cruiser 200, whose reputation is not able to bring down any courses.
The old Pajero is good for everyone, and even pure “Japanese”, but the price for 2 million makes dreams of him hypothetical even for fans of the model
In the non-premium segment, foreign cars have become a real exotic, and given the blocking of used car imports, the Russian market is moving by leaps and bounds towards complete isolation. However, there are pluses in this: for example, the Russian assembly of foreign cars did not collapse even during the crisis, and major players, except for GM, retained production in the country.
Import direct and indirect
Although the very concept of “Russian assembly” is very vague, for example, most KIA and Hyundai models at Avtotor are assembled using a screwdriver method without actual localization, UAZ-Patriot has up to half of imported components (in monetary terms), and the localization of Lada X-Ray - only 22%. In other words, the boundary between a foreign car and Russian cars today blurred to such an extent that the terminology itself is outdated. It's time to forget the word foreign car in the original sense: today the market is controlled by half-breeds of all stripes.
It has long been no secret to anyone that many foreign cars are assembled on the territory Russian Federation. Many people are wondering - is there a difference between foreign and Russian assembly? Let's look at this issue in detail.
Why collect foreign cars in the Russian Federation?
This is done in order to reduce the cost of producing a car. After all, a car imported in parts will be easier and cheaper to clear than a whole, assembled one. The savings also go to labor force, in our country, as you know, it costs less than in most foreign countries.
Also, assembly in the Russian Federation can be made cheaper due to the fact that local factories will be allowed to produce their own spare parts, and not install imported ones, which can still reduce the cost of assembling a car up to 8% of its cost.
There are a lot of rumors about poor-quality Russian car assembly. Some even say that these cars are almost assembled in garage cooperatives. But it's not. These assembly shops are mostly licensed by the manufacturer and are staffed by highly skilled people who know their stuff.
Is there a difference in parts?
There is a difference, and a big one. After all, if foreign original spare parts all the necessary checks and certification procedures go through to the car, then our factory can easily supply cheaper spare parts, this sometimes happens. In fact, what should we get?
We must get a foreign car that will cost less, but the same quality, since all necessary equipment and drawings are usually provided by the manufacturer. On this moment on the territory of the Russian Federation there are more than 20 assembly shops for foreign cars. Such as, for example, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Cadillac, BMW, Nissan, Toyota and Opel.
All these foreign cars assemble most of their models on the territory of the Russian Federation. After all, you must admit that such popular cars in mass production come out much cheaper when they are collected in the same country where they are sold. As for the replacement of spare parts for their Russian analogues– proven to be used in vehicles such as chevrolet cruze, Ford Focus,Chevrolet Aveo, Renault Logan and Cadillac Escalade. This is bad, you say. But let me disagree with you - after all, spare parts made in Russia are not always worse.
For example, the suspensions for the above cars are produced in Russia, since European and American suspension options are simply not designed for our roads, and overhaul running gear you would go every two to three months. Yes, it would have cost more to repair.
The difference in pricing policy, and is there any?
Yes, she is. Cars assembled in the Russian Federation are cheaper, although not always. For example, cars that are completely assembled from imported parts in the territory of the Russian Federation usually cost 8-12% cheaper than the original. But a car where local spare parts were used can sometimes be even more expensive than the original.
On the example of the same domestic car suspension system, this can be explained. After all, for our roads, the suspension is made more durable and of better quality metal. But the very process of inventing and manufacturing a reinforced analogue of the original suspension is very difficult and expensive. But, as mentioned above, such a suspension will pay for itself far more than once, since you will go to the next suspension repair in 3-4 years, and not in 2 months.
So consider what is more profitable to take, and where you actually overpay, and where you don’t. And if you think that such spare parts are "self-propelled guns", then you are deeply mistaken. Such spare parts are produced with the permission and approval of the manufacturers themselves, who in most cases are only happy with the resourcefulness of Russian auto engineers. As for the quality itself, then you are likely to win.
As an afterword, I would like to say that foreign cars assembled in the Russian Federation are most often better for our roads than foreign cars assembled abroad. However, this does not mean at all that foreign cars assembled in the Russian Federation should be looked for in car markets, dubious points, etc. Externally, they almost do not differ from their counterparts, and are also self-sold in official car dealerships.
In fact, all the rumors about the poor quality of the domestic assembly and the quality of spare parts are highly exaggerated, to say the least - far-fetched. Just check with the sales assistant by asking him one question: "Whose assembly machine?". The seller will give you an exact answer, and you will decide for yourself whether it is worth taking such a car or not.

Quoting Vlad:
Yes, any price gains that the manufacturer could make, either due to the use of local spare parts, or due to less expensive customs clearance, are leveled by resellers - sellers. And until it is significantly limited to the maximum possible level speculative margin, it is unlikely that our motorists will feel these reductions in price.
I agree, in practice, it seems to me that it doesn’t come out much and is cheaper. And the build quality is really different. Our workers do not want to do quality work. You can say about quality control, quality control department and all that. But if the Germans were sitting at the Ford plant in Kaluga in the Quality Control Department, and compatriots who also need to fulfill the plan faster, not to mention the need to re-check If there are shortcomings, no one wants to take on extra work. If the OTK controllers were given a bonus for rejecting a certain number of cars
The Russian automotive industry has shown steady growth since the early 2000s. According to statistics, the Russian Federation ranks 11th in the world in terms of the number of Vehicle.
Over the past 15 years, the number automobile enterprises in the Russian Federation has increased significantly. This is not only the well-known VAZ, GAZ or KamAZ, many other models are successfully assembled and sold in our country: BMW, AUDI, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, etc.

Avtotor (Kaliningrad)
This company was founded in 1996. Over the years, cars of the following brands were assembled here:

However, there are plans to resume the work of the Taganrog Automobile Plant, which is designed to produce up to 180 thousand cars a year.
Derways
Established in 2002, the company first produced cars own development, but they did not gain much popularity, so I had to refocus on the assembly Chinese cars that just appeared on the domestic market.

The economic crisis has left its mark on automotive industry, most factories have reduced production volumes. We hope it's not for long.
Although Russian car brands cannot compete with German, American and Japanese car companies, they are nevertheless important players. IN Soviet years played a huge role for the country and enjoyed super popularity. In our time, the popularity of Russian domestic car brands is falling, but, nevertheless, according to the statistics of new car sales, some car brands of Russian origin remain the most popular in sales.
Despite the decline in popularity, and the onset of competition, Russian cars cannot be discounted. Many car companies after years of decline are slowly but surely beginning to develop. That is why our domestic cars are worthy of mention. In general, it should not be discounted either, since our cars have tremendous development potential. Despite the huge decline in new car sales in the country, Russian market still ranks among the top ten largest markets in the world. It is noteworthy that this achievement became possible in a very short time.
With today's article, we open a series of publications that will be dedicated to all car brands in the world. In each new article, we will talk about the car brands of each country, which is known all over the world for its cars. Of course, we dedicate the first publication to Russian brands that are 30-50 years old, some of which are still with their new vehicles.

- Company foundation year: 1966 - present tense
- Headquarters: Tolyatti, Samara region

This is one of the most famous domestic car brands in the world, which was founded in the 60s and still produces cars. In the Soviet years, Avtovaz was largest producer Lada cars, most of which were exported to all of Western Europe. Recall that the first Lada models were based on Italian Fiat cars. Outwardly, some Zhiguli models were very similar to Italian cars.
However, despite the similarities, the first Lada cars were not actually Italian Fiats. It was really our Russian car external design, which was decommissioned from Fiat.
Yes, it's not and it's not. But the company's management did not expect to rely on sophistication and power. The main calculation is to make a simple and reliable car, which will be able to transport people from point A to point B, offering optimal maneuverability on the road and comfort.
Few global automakers can boast of producing models that were first brought to market in over 40 years. For example, AvtoVAZ has only recently removed the VAZ-2105 and VAZ-2107 from serial production. The old classic in various versions (2101,2102, 2103, 2104) has sold 20 million copies worldwide. And only in 2012, the company's management decided to completely stop the production of old models.
most popular model of all the classic Zhiguli was the VAZ-2105 model, which was based on 124 Fiat models 1966. AvtoVAZ classics were valued for low cost and for a simple design.
From the very beginning, she was the main partner of Avtovaz. Today, the general partner of the plant is the group Renault-Nissan companies. Today car factory AvtoVAZ has updated its product line. Today, the plant produces Lada Granta, Lada Kalina, Lada Largus, Lada Priora and the Niva 4x4 SUV. Also starting soon mass production new models "Lada Vesta" and "Lada X-Ray".

The Volga car brand was formed thanks to an alliance with the Gaz company. By creating the Volga brand, the leadership of the USSR expected to meet the demand for luxury cars. The first Volga model left the assembly line in 1956 and became the successor to the GAZ-M20 Pobeda model. The release of Volga models was primarily designed for export to France and Germany, where there was a huge demand for this class of cars. True to compete domestic car And German marks could not. Volga cars produced at the GAZ plant vaguely resembled Ford cars in their contours and style. Unlike simple cars Lada, Volga has become a prestigious luxury brand from the very beginning. It is not surprising that in the Soviet years only politicians, professors, various heads of departments, etc. could afford Volga cars.
Unfortunately, the serial production of the Volga was stopped in 2007. It is noteworthy that the classic old Volga cars are currently in great demand all over the world among collectors. One of the avid lovers of this brand is Vladimir Putin.
