Korean and Japanese brands can return to Russia

A new round in relations between Russia and the United States can turn into radical changes in the Russian car market in 2025-2026, Izvestia write with reference to the co-founder of the Major dealer company Mikhail Bakhtiarov. In his opinion, it is likely not only the return of the departed brands from South Korea and Japan, as well as the expansion of the range of the “Chinese”.

The United States, according to Bechtiarov, can instruct “countries of direct subordination – Korea and Japan.” About six months can go to certify the Kazakhstani assembly cars for the Russian market, and brands that “many clients are waiting” will return to Russia.

On the other hand, the trade war between the United States and China can be tightened so much that the Chinese will cease to be afraid of sanctions.

The confrontation can go so far that Beijing will “get any the same”: in this case, stamps that are now afraid of this will officially enter the Russian market. This is, for example, byd and Zeekr.

The ex-head of AvtoVAZ Bo Andersson is also confident in the return of the departed brands in the Russian Federation. Moreover, in his opinion, Western manufacturers will also want to return, since “the Russian market is too large to ignore it, especially for a long time.” From forecasts by the deadline, he refrained.
