2020 was not the best for many industries, including automotive. Nevertheless, new models appear on the market, and a number of olders go from the market. So what models have ceased to be sold in Russia in 2020?
The editorial board of Tarantas News made up its top 5 models, from which the manufacturers decided to refuse, but which will not be enough in the domestic car market.
Datsun ON-DO
The new development strategy of the Japanese Concern Nissan meant including care from the Russian Datsun brand market. This model has highlighted low price and the fact of "collaboration" with AvtoVAZ, where the car was going on the basis of the famous Lada Granta.
In total, in Russia, you can buy two models - ON-DO sedan and Hatchback MI-DO, the first of which was fairly in demand. Both models headed all sorts of tops of the kind of "the cheapest foreign car" is despite the fact that externally cars are quite adequate for their niche. The availability of spare parts from "grants" played its role in popularity of these "Russian Japanese".
Mazda 3.
Mazda 3 was also available in two types - sedan and hatchback. True, this "Japanese" just drove to Russia straight from Japan. What, however, was the reason for its care from the market - taking into account the taxes and exchange rates, the model was more expensive even fellow, whose assembly was localized in the Russian Federation.
For some reason, the production of this model was not solved to localize the production of this model at the Russian plant, although certain demand for her was. Under the hood, this car is a choice of a 1,5-liter motor with a capacity of 120 hp or 2.0 liter at 150 hp The design is traditionally for Mazda is also quite attractive.
Haval h6.
In the case of this crossover, the story is similar - the car was brought to Russia straight from China, although the company managed to build his own plant in Russia, where quite successfully produces a number of other models. Maybe the Chinese are trying to avoid internal competition, and maybe simply did not go with sales.
It can be noted that Outwardly, Haval H6 looked no longer as relevant as his fellow, although equipped with a completely relevant 1.5-liter turbo engine at 143 hp With an accessible pair to it "Mechanics" and "Automat". Perhaps the Chinese manufacturer in the future will bring a restyled version of this crossover to Russia.
Renault Dokker
In the case of a French brand in our country, everything is a bit more difficult. In theory, Renault Dokker is designed for the same audience that buys Lada Largus. But, as you know, AvtoVAZ is included in the Renault Group, and the new Largus does generally on the basis of Renault Logan. Although it is not necessary to argue that it is the internal competition that the "Dokcker" is caused from Russia.
The model was supplied from the Moroccan Renault plant, and for 2.5 years less than 5 thousand copies of this model were sold. Engines - gasoline per 1.6 liters and 82 hp Plus Turbodiesel 1.5 DCI on 90 hp
Chevrolet Camaro.
Maxlar Chevrolet Camaro At the start of sales became the best-selling new sports car on the Russian market with a result of 268 copies. With a price tag from 3 million rubles - it seems quite good for this niche. But in 2020, we were sold in everything around 50 cars - therefore it was decided to sell sales.
It should be noted that in Russia, options with V6 and V8 engines were not available - only with a 2.0-liter turbo engine at 238 hp. Maybe some potential buyers stopped just this. Although the manufacturer has already stated that in the future is ready to completely remove the model from production - due to the fact that cars of this type are losing their popularity throughout the world.
