Chinese cars

“Chinese cars” found out what new products to expect on the Russian market before the end of 2022. For the convenience of readers, we have collected all the information in one large table.

But first, about those Chinese cars that have already reached the Russian market. There really aren't that many of them. These are Haval Jolion crossovers and GWM Poer pickups. Which, by the way, were not in the previous table. The Haval representative office announced a new product, but there was no information that this was a Great Wall car. And DFM’s new product was a slightly updated crossover 580. Although we were expecting a completely new model from the brand.

Geely Atlas Pro crossover should have been on this list . Both the company and the media rushed to announce the start of sales of the new product, but at the last moment it had to be postponed. Yes, you can already pre-order the car, but dealers don’t have “live” copies yet. Therefore, we will leave this model in our table – at number one.

Second on the list could be Chery Tiggo 2 Pro . The brand's representative office has already brought 20 such crossovers to Russia. However, sales have not yet begun. The company is still analyzing the results of a study of demand for the model conducted by dealers. And they are waiting for the right moment to launch the model on the market. According to Chinese Cars, at the moment the estimated date is November or even December. The approximate price is from 1 to 1.25 million rubles.

Therefore, first we are waiting for Chery Tiggo 4 Pro . This model is planned for October. By the way, it is Chery with its sub-brand that promises to become the main newsmaker of the fall. Let us remind you that the press service of CheryExeed announced the arrival of the VX and LX . But, most likely, a restyled TXL . According to Chinese Cars, the latter should be expected in October, VX in November. But our sources “postpone” the debut of the LX to March 2022. However, in this case we would like to rely on official data.

• The new Exeed was presented to Russian dealers. They liked the cars

As for the restyled crossover Chery Tiggo 7 Pro and the Arrizo , the first should be expected in 2022, and the second is still in question. The four-door model will definitely not appear this year.

FAW Bestune T77 crossover has become clear - once again . Yesterday they reported[/anchor] that they plan to complete certification of the model in the fall. And the start of sales will take place before the end of the year.

• Pros and cons of FAW T77. What reviews from real owners showed

JAC S3 will never reach Russia . However, according to information from Chinese Cars, it is now really busy with certification of this model. Therefore, it will definitely appear with us. In addition, the Changan Uni-K and the DFM Rich . We must assume that before the end of the year their debut is quite likely.

Review of promising electric motorcycles 2022

A certain trend has emerged in the motorcycle market, where even true fans of traditional motorcycles are changing their prejudices in favor of electric models.

This comes as almost every motorcycle company is developing at least one electric model. So little by little the two-wheeled market is turning to electric bikes.

Promising models for 2022. Among the companies producing electric motorcycles, there are mono brands that produce only electric versions. But recently, well-known brands have also become more active and have mastered the production of one or two new generation models. Notable new products on the market in 2022 include:

Zero SR/S. The vehicle, weighing 229 kg, has a range of 130 to 250 km (depending on modification), with the ability to recharge from the Power Tank for another 50 km. With active driving, it will not be possible to travel more than 200 km, so they offer the additional installation of a fast charger (for 3 thousand euros). The starting price of the model is from 21.54 thousand euros. Today there are almost 10 models in the Zero Motorcycles line.

Zero SR/S one of the models in the line

Energica EGO+RS. The road version of the Italian brand accelerates from zero to hundreds in just 2.6 seconds, and the top speed is limited to 240 km/h. A capacious battery (21.5 kWh) ensures autonomy of up to 400 km. The price of the model starts from 31 thousand euros.

Representative of the Italian brand Energica

KTM Freeride R-XC. Model for movement over rough terrain. The travel of the front and rear forks is 250 mm and 260 mm, respectively. With a power reserve of only 77 km, the electric bike is suitable for active recreation. The car can be driven with an A1 driver's license, and the price for the KTM will be only 7.695 thousand euros.

Tacita T-Cruise. The Italian road model has 3 battery capacity options - from 9 kWh to 27 kWh. The driving range will be in the range from 112 to 300 km. All versions of the model are equipped with only a 60 hp engine. s., and the price increases significantly from the base 11.965 thousand euros, taking into account the increase in battery capacity.

Harley-Davidson LiveWiro . The brand's first electric model has a motor with 75 hp output. and a torque of 70 Nm, which is enough to accelerate the bike to “hundreds” in just 3 seconds. Top speed is limited to 177 km/h. Thanks to the fast charging device, it will be possible to replenish the charge from 0 to 80% in just 40 minutes, and the maximum range after charging will be up to 225 km. The starting price for the first electric Harley-Davidson model is almost 33 thousand euros.

Harley-Davidson LiveWiro is still expensive

It seems that, as in the case of electric vehicles, further development of the electric motorcycle segment will lead to a noticeable reduction in price.

As a conclusion. Don't forget about the numerous Chinese models of electric motorcycles. For example, the model of the new brand Alrendo TS Bravo starts at 10 thousand euros with a minimum autonomous range of 150 km and an engine power of 75 hp. Taking into account the still insufficient reliability of the first models of well-known brands, such cars are a good alternative today.

Benelli TRK502

• Price: 500,000 rubles
• Engine: 500 cc cm, in-line 2-cylinder
• Power 47 hp
• Weight: 213 kg

This motorcycle is not distinguished by its original design. But in this case, the cool thing is that you will be the only motorcycle brother or the only motorcycle sister in the company who rides a Benelli. Why might you choose this bike? Look at the price of the basic version and its characteristics. For example, a copy of Travel prepared for travel will cost approximately 600,000 rubles. The bike's engine is very simple and there will be no problems with it. The bike feels a little too tall, but the saddle height is a manageable 84.6cm.

Two-wheeled friend: Motorcycle rating 2022

Two-wheeled vehicles are traditionally considered one of the most popular on the Russian market.

There are a large number of different models, among which lovers of such vehicles choose the most suitable options, subsequently getting real pleasure from driving along the highway with the breeze.

MV Agusta F3 675 becomes the undisputed leader in the list of the most popular motorcycles, which are most often purchased by customers. In addition, it can rightfully be called the fastest in the world. Its maximum speed is 257 kilometers per hour. The power of the engine installed on this two-wheeled vehicle is 128 horsepower.

Buyers note that the motorcycle is very fast, so when driving on smooth country roads you can get real pleasure, feeling like a “bird” soaring above the road. It is extremely easy to operate the equipment, despite the impressive technical parameters.

The Ducati Panigale V2 is capable of developing 283 kilometers per hour and takes second place in the compiled rating. Italian engineers have worked on the engine and electronics, making the Ducati Panigale V2 faster than previous models. The engine displacement is significantly larger than that of the previous model: 955 cubic centimeters.

The model handles the road confidently and has good dynamic characteristics. However, the motorcycle is too fast for active use in the city. Drivers note that they experience certain difficulties when moving through traffic jams and traffic jams, which becomes not a very pleasant moment.

The Yamaha YZF R1 is another popular two-wheeler and worthy of finishing the top three. In fact, this is the same legendary motorcycle of the brand, which has been slightly modified and modernized. The developers have done everything possible to ensure that the operation of this vehicle is comfortable and enjoyable.

But, as research shows, experienced motorists who have extensive experience feel most confident on a motorcycle. The thing is that for beginners, the operation of transport may seem somewhat complicated and even complicated due to the large number of additional options.

Other popular models on the Russian market. In Russia they love two-wheeled vehicles, so you can find a large number of different vehicles on the market, among which the more popular are: Suzuki Hayabusa, Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, BMW M 1000 RR, Suzuki GSX-R1000R, BMW S 1000 RR, Ducati Panigale V4 S and Kawasaki Ninja H2.

Each of these motorcycles deserves not only the title of the best two-wheeled vehicle, but also a fairly fast mode of transport. Getting behind the wheel of such motorcycles is best done by professionals who know exactly how to control such a vehicle.

Conclusion. When choosing a two-wheeled vehicle, you need to be fully aware that it needs timely maintenance, as well as the necessary documentation. This will make operation extremely pleasant both in the city and beyond.

Yamaha MT-07

• Price: 713,000 rubles
• Engine: 689 cc cm, in-line 2-cylinder
