According to the results of five months of 2022, 10,015 crossovers and SUVs of the brand were sold in Russia (-21%), according to the AEB. The bestseller of Haval in the Russian market in May remains the Jolion compact crossover with 425 sold cars (an increase of 3.7 times). As a result, it entered the TOP-10 of best-selling SUV models in the Russian car market, the experts of the AUTOSTAT agency stated. Recall that in June, Russian Haval dealers began the sales of the new Dargo crossover, the production of which has been established at the Haval Motors Manufacturing Rus plant in the Tula region.

The novelty is available in four trim levels - Comfort, Elite, Premium and Tech Plus - at prices ranging from 3 million 199 thousand rubles to 3 million 749 thousand rubles. According to Denis Tsepelev, Development Director of Alarm-Motors Group of Companies, the key competitive advantage of Haval Dargo is its adaptation to the Russian market: an extended winter package, increased ground clearance, a powerful engine that matches the dimensions and off-road characteristics of the car, etc.

The novelty will become a competitor to other models of Chinese brands, such as Chery Tiggo 7 Pro and Geely Atlas Pro, as well as an alternative, including non-Chinese "classmates", such as Toyota RAV4, Nissan Qashqai and Mitsubishi Outlander. According to the expert, Haval Dargo will take about 15-20% of the total Haval sales.
