Renta Tyukteev, Deputy General Director for Sales of New Cars at the Avilon dealer holding, told Gazeta.Ru about the upcoming new products. The top manager emphasized that there is still stable demand for models from European brands, despite the price increase. At the same time, new cars can increase buyer interest.
Tyukteev said that the new Mercedes-Benz S63 and E-Klasse will be available to Russian customers in the near future. In addition, under the parallel import scheme, the dealer will bring new BMW 4 Series Coupe, as well as M3 and M4. At the same time, the new Audi Q6 is already available in showrooms.
At the same time, other major market players refused to supply new European cars. Dealers argued their position with complex logistics, as well as unstable demand among buyers and rising import costs. The latest new products from domestic dealerships are the BMW X5, X6, as well as the X7 and the electric iX3. In addition, a new Porsche Cayenne was brought to Russia through parallel import.
At the end of September, a large consignment of European brands of cars was brought to the Russian market. Then, bypassing the sanctions, dealers supplied the Skoda Kodiaq GT, BMW X3 and Audi Q3.
