Today, several large gaps have formed in the Russian market due to the departure of foreign manufacturers. These include the segment of large crossovers, which so far is filled only by Chery with its Tiggo 8 Pro. However, in the near future the number of such cars in Russia will definitely increase. Moreover, this will most likely happen within the framework of cooperation between Chinese and domestic manufacturers. Moreover, foreign models may enter the Russian market, but under familiar brands.
An example of this is Moskvich and Lada. AvtoVAZ has already confirmed that it is going to produce Chinese cars under its own brand. URAL can do the same, which, like KamAZ, is going through the current period relatively well. The automobile plant from Miass is able to act as an investor in a project to create a large and relatively inexpensive crossover. If this idea is implemented, the 7-seater crossover URAL Next 2 2023-2024 may enter the market, the publication of renderings of which was announced by the domestic designer.
This model is likely to become almost a complete analogue of the Jetour X95. This assumption is supported by 2 facts. Chery said last year that it intends to bring the Jetour lineup to the Russian market. But the Chinese brand is attractive because it produces relatively inexpensive cars. That is, it needs to localize the production of cars in Russia in order to maintain their main advantage: an affordable price.
In turn, URAL may be interested in this project because it will allow the company to enter completely new markets for itself and gain access to technologies that help expand the product line. And the example of KamAZ shows that this experience can be successful.
