Minicars in Russia are very poorly represented, many models are not even planned to be delivered to our market. Still, there are significant differences in mentality and living standards. In our country, low-cost compact cars like Daewoo Matiz are popular, they are bought by those who cannot afford another car. Now, after the dollar jumps, compact cars cannot compete with mid-size ones, and therefore do not attract buyers. After all, for the same money you can buy a more spacious model, not limited in functionality. And profitability does not cover other minuses for Russian consumers. However, in large cities, more and more people are paying attention to such cars, so in the future we can expect an expansion of the range of official car dealers.
