Where is Vesta? Owning Rio will be prestigious, and Seltos will be a luxury. Unless, of course, they will be bought.
The choice of a budget B-class car for a Russian motorist is becoming more and more limited. The time is passing when for 900 thousand rubles you could buy a KIA Rio in a good configuration. In the segment of up to a million rubles, Lada has fewer competitors.
Judging by the price tag in car dealerships, KIA decided to leave the budget segment, raising Rio to the title of “all the same foreign cars”, and not “some kind of“ basin ”there. “Rio” in the “maximum speed” has grown to 1.2 million rubles, and for the KIA Seltos youth crossover in the “top”, on all-wheel drive, with a 2-liter engine and CVT, they ask for 1.92 million rubles. At the same time, there are no “empty” cars in the salons – they are selling with “special stages” for another 50-100 thousand rubles. There are no discounts.
Motorists predict KIA will soon leave the market due to lack of demand, and AvtoVAZ is a good opportunity to stay afloat. After all, prices are rising at all, but the Koreans are “more impudent” than the rest, reducing the price of the car as much as possible, impoverishing equipment, but not forgetting to increase the cost. LADA Vesta still holds the most affordable price.
In addition, recently there have been many complaints from Kia owners about the quality of service and the desire of dealers to sell and cash in: “There were two Koreans in the family, and there will be no more. Dopas are being imposed, under the guarantee they are throwing heavily, ODs are not client-oriented – he saw what he was buying, he went off. ” Netizens are outraged by Kia’s self-confidence: “Are you Koreans seriously, have you believed in yourself? Celtos 1 920 000! And even after that they will tell me that I took a expensive comfort for Toyota Corolla for 1,400,000 ”,“ I am more and more inclined towards West CVT ”.
KIA Rio never saw prestige, choosing this “Korean” only for a combination of price and quality. However, the car does not get better, on the contrary, but it rises in price as if it was prestigious to own it. AvtoVAZ, meanwhile, rubs his hands.
