Experts talked about the consequences of Datsun leaving from Russia

Nissan recently announced the cessation of sales of Datsun cars in Russia. Their production at AvtoVAZ facilities will be completed in December, and deliveries to dealers will continue until March 2021.

“After the production of Datsun in Russia is completed, I do not think there will be special sales. Dealers have enough cars in the stocks, and until the middle of next year, I think, there will be no problems with this. So, the global discounts couldn’t be expected. And the profitability of Datsun cars is not such that it would be possible to give some super discounts,” - said the manager of the “United Automobile Corporation – RRT”, Sergey Novoselsky to the AUTOSTAT agency.

According to Oleg Kiviko, the director of the Avtoretit-M car dealership (“Avtodel” Group of Companies), after the production of Datsun cars is completed and the stocks are sold out, the dealers will have to work fully with the owners of the purchased cars - carry out scheduled maintenance and repairs, and fulfill warranty obligations.

In turn, Alexander Zakharov, Head of Key Accounts at AvtoSpetsTsentr Group, notes that with the departure of Datsun, of course, LADA will be the first to win, as it is a direct competitor to the brand. There are no fundamentally serious design differences in Datsun and LADA cars.
