Expert Kovalev assessed the annual sales potential of the new Volga brand

Potential sales of Volga in Russia could range from 40 to 60 thousand cars per year.

In 2025, legal entities accounted for only 14% of the market for new passenger cars.

After reaching a stable production rhythm, the annual sales volume can reach 18-30 thousand cars.

The production of Volga cars is carried out by Nizhny Novgorod JSC "Production of Passenger Cars" (PLA).

In most cases, naturally aspirated gasoline engines of 2 and 2.5 liters in the Japanese model last a long time, but on runs over 150–200 thousand km, some cars develop oil burns.

The most popular options on our roads are a car with a 2-liter gasoline engine and a CVT, as well as a crossover with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine and a classic automatic transmission.

The solution here is obvious: replacing the oil seals, timely changing the oil in the rear gearbox and coupling (every 50–60 thousand km), and in case of advanced wear, overhauling or replacing the gearbox assembly.

The Toyota RAV4's suspension is durable, but the front brake rotors and pads can wear out faster, especially under heavy use.
