Sales of the new Honda XR-V compact crossover, supplied from China via parallel import, have begun in Russia. According to "Auto News of the Day", the minimum price for the model is 1.84 million rubles — this is cheaper than the Lada Vesta SW Cross and most Chinese competitors like Chery Tiggo 4 and GAC GS3.
For this money, the buyer is offered a front-wheel drive crossover with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with 124 hp and a CVT. The Heat Wave package includes fabric seats, climate control, a multimedia system with a touch screen, a panoramic roof and a push-button engine start.
Depending on the region, the price varies: from 1.87 million rubles in Novosibirsk to 1.99 million in Vladivostok and 2.29 million in Volgograd. The more expensive Heat Edition version with a leather multi-steering wheel, a rear-view camera and adaptive cruise control costs from 2.15 million rubles.
Top-end XR-Vs with a leather interior, a digital dashboard and a blind spot monitoring system in Moscow are estimated at up to 3.48 million rubles.
