The most significant increase in price has been the Russian favorite Creta, which is produced in St. Petersburg under the name Solaris HC.

The Solaris HC crossover has increased in price in all trim levels. In five of them, the increase was 137-186 thousand rubles, and some options, for example the top-end Lifestyle with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, are now more than 200 thousand more expensive.
