Prices have been adjusted for the Sportage and KX3 crossovers, and the price for the K9 sedan has also decreased. All cars were imported into the domestic market under the “gray” scheme of parallel imports from the Chinese market. Prices were immediately reduced by 100, and in some cases by 200 thousand rubles.
Domestic dealers note that the Kia Sportage crossover, as before, is one of the best sellers on the Russian market – now it is the leader among all “parallel” foreign cars. In November, you could buy a Korean crossover for 4,490,000 rubles (in October its cost was 4,650,000 rubles).
K9 sedans even managed to go into mass production in Russia last year, but only one batch came off the assembly line. Now the flagship sedan is available in the country under a parallel import scheme, it costs from 9 million rubles – in September the minimum cost was 9.2 million rubles.
At the same time, used cars on the Russian market are only becoming more expensive. At the beginning of November, the average cost of a used car exceeded two million rubles, and the most expensive increase was not in foreign cars, but in domestic Lada models.
