"Rossiyskaya Gazeta" presented a rating the cheapest cars of 2016sold at car dealerships of our country. The reason is the almost complete change of the top 10 budget models, including the former leader of the rating, Daewoo Matiz, withdrawn from the Russian market so as not to compete with the updated version of Ravon R2. Unfortunately, the crisis affected both prices and purchasing power of the population. If earlier, for 400 thousand rubles, motorists had a choice of ten to eleven models, but now they are out of six.
6. Ravon Nexia R3, Geely GC6
Price: from 419 000 rubles.
Two cars with the same cost open the rating - the first time released in Russia, the Ravon Nexia R3 and Geely GC6. The price of the basic Comfort Ravon Nexia over the past few months has increased by 40,000 rubles (includes power steering, airbag, stabilization system and radio). And Geely GC6, perhaps, will be delivered to Russia in a new version - and more expensive. As the head of the Geely branch in our country admitted, the brand will no longer have low-cost brands from the number of cars delivered to Russia.
5. Lada Granta (liftback), Datsun on-DO (sedan), Ravon R2 (hatchback)
Price: from 404,200 to 409,000 rubles.
In fifth place in the ranking are three cars at once. The most inexpensive equipment Lada Granta with a liftback body comes with a suspension from Kalina, minimal sound insulation and no power steering. Datsun on-DO - a Russian-Japanese car, known for its outstanding boot volume among budget sedans - as much as 530 liters. Access comes standard with an 82-hp engine. 1.6 liter, ABS, airbag, power steering and seat heating. And Ravon R2, due to several price hikes, fell down in the ranking, which, however, did not prevent the car from still holding the position of the cheapest model with an automatic transmission.
4. Chery Bonus, FAW V5, Chery Very
Price: from 390,000 to 400,000 rubles.
The fourth place of the rating was divided among themselves by three city subcompacts. All of them are products of Chinese automakers and are quite popular in the Russian market. However, their presence in the ranking is caused by purely formal considerations: the number of these cars on the market is steadily decreasing (for example, Chery Very is almost impossible to find). Whether new deliveries are expected is unknown.
3. Lada Priora
Price: 389,000 rubles.
The only AvtoVAZ car that has lasted in its original form on the market since 2007 without any changes. The basic equipment includes amenities such as a trip computer, an armrest with storage space, an air filter for the passenger compartment and front door electric lifts.
2. Lada Granta
Price: 383 900 rubles.
The price of a “people's car” has not practically changed since the summer, which allowed Lada to switch from fourth place in the rating to second. However, the most budget grade Lada differs Spartan rigor and unpretentiousness - an engine with a capacity of 87 liters. with., a volume of 1.6 liters, there are ABS and EBD systems, but there is no air conditioning, no receiver, no other trifles for a comfortable ride.
1. Lifan Smily
Price: 369 900 rubles.
And the leader of the top 10 cheapest cars in Russia in 2016 becomes Lifan Smily - a small hatchback whose design was created under the clear influence of the famous Mini Cooper’s. Engine power - 88 hp, volume 1.3 l, five-speed manual gearbox. A pleasant surprise - the budget equipment of the car includes almost everything you need, including electric power steering, ABS and even air conditioning with a radio. However, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, cars of this brand on the Russian market in 2015, and their reserves are running out. Whether there will be new ones is unknown.
