Since January 1, 2026, the Chinese brand Haval has revised prices for most models presented on the Russian market. The price increase affected almost the entire model range of the brand, with the exception of the Haval Jolion crossover, which retained its previous price tags.
According to analysts who studied the updated price lists, the price increase ranged from 50 to 100 thousand rubles, depending on the model and trim level. At the same time, a number of cars experienced changes in the structure of offers. For example, the 2024 versions disappeared from the sale of the Haval F7 crossover, but modifications of the 2026 model year appeared.
Earlier, car dealers and experts warned that the growth of prices for new cars in 2026 is almost inevitable. Among the key reasons, they named the increase in VAT and the recycling fee, which directly affect the cost of cars. According to their estimates, already in the first months of the year, the Russian car market may face another decline in demand.
At the same time, you should not count on massive discounts on last year's cars. Ilya Petrov, Sales Director of Avilon, previously stated that the market will not see sales of cars from 2024-2025 in 2026. Since the end of November, warehouse stocks at most dealers and importers have noticeably decreased, and a shortage has already formed for a number of models.
