Russian car market 2016: minus ten more models

The Russian car market continues to fall. Last March ten foreign manufacturers left it. The model range presented in Russia was revised by the Mitsubishi, Citroen, Renault, Suzuki, Volvo, Volkswagen, Peugeot and Cadillac. When analyzing the market situation in terms of losses, statistical agencies operate with two categories of cars: those who have already left the market and “candidates for dismissal”. Foreigners cannot sell in us not only outdated models that have lost popularity with the buyer, but also those whose popularity is rather high, because the price tags on them are too inaccessible today for most Russian drivers. Some models were already absent in the dealer warehouses from last year, but from the official manufacturers' websites, information about them has not been deliberately removed until today, counting on a change in the economic situation and the recovery of the market. But now the sites are cleaning up, and we will not see these models anymore in the near future.

Peugeot "lost" for Russia its crossover Peugeot 4008. With an indicator of 257 cars sold during the year, this crossover was also doomed to leave our car market.

Sedan Reno Fluens, with a fully localized production, was bought by the Russians only 1,408 times. Volkswagen withdrew its flagship from the market sedan Faéton, but here, as the Germans themselves say, the point is not in the demand that has gone down: all models of the old generation are sold out, and the new generation car will be delivered to Russian dealers only in a couple of years.

At the company Suzuki in March in the Russian warehouses ran out of crossovers SX4 Classic. The Japanese have a new generation SX4, but they didn’t bring it to us last year, selling only the old model.
