A frame, four-wheel drive, decent ground clearance and a huge trunk - what other transport could be better for a resident of a remote Russian province, hardened by total impassability and long distances . A pickup truck for rural old-timers would solve a lot of economic problems if they could afford it. Not only domestic UAZ, but also Chinese automakers are trying to bring down the price in this segment. Company Dongfeng prepares premiere pickup Rich , created on the basis of the Nissan Navara
Today, pickup trucks are one of the most unclaimed and smallest segments in our car market. In this regard, the picture in the classroom has not radically changed lately. According to the results of the first half of the year, the greatest demand is for the native UAZ Patriot (from 1,069,000 rubles), the second place is occupied by Toyota Hilux (from 2,838,000), the third is the Mitsubishi L200 (from 2,569,000 ) . The popular trinity maintains a significant lead over the Far Eastern state employees - Great Wall Wingle 7 (from 1,799,000) and JAC T6 (from 1,530,000), who round out the top five.
The rest of the players in the segment are far from them, and there are only three of them - Isuzu D- Max (from 2,860,000 ), Foton Tunland ("price on request", as indicated by the manufacturer) and the Great Wall Poer, which recently arrived in our market (from 2,399,000 ). As you can see, half of the eight representatives of the segment are “Chinese”. In the Celestial Empire, the all-wheel drive DFM Rich has been successfully produced since 2018. Its prospects for success in Russia will depend primarily on the price tag, and nothing is known about this yet. The experience of fellow countrymen Great Wall Wingle 7 and JAC T6, closing the TOP-5 pickups of our market, suggests that an up -to- date and competitive price list for a new product should start from 1,500,000-1,600,000 rubles. Undoubtedly one - the technical part of Dongfeng Rich unlikely to scare off fans of pickups. After all, we are talking about a licensed copy of the unforgettable Nissan Navara . And this is still an "authority" with an impeccable reputation, tested on all continents of the Earth. For our compatriots, the new Chinese SUV with a two-row cab will be available with two versions of diesel engines in three all-wheel drive trim levels. All of them include options such as steering wheel height adjustment, power windows, an audio system with radio and USB input, fog lights , rear parking sensors , engine protection, active safety systems ABS, EBD and ESP. In one of the budget options, Rich will receive a 2.5-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 103 liters. with. with a torque of 305 Nm , and a five-speed "mechanics". The equipment list of this version includes air conditioning, keyless entry, engine start from a button, LED running lights, anticorrosive treatment. All of these options are not included in another budget version of Rich with a more powerful 170-horsepower turbo diesel with a volume of 2.3 liters and a six-speed "mechanics". But this equipment includes climate control, a media system with a 7-inch display and two speakers, Bluetooth , an external threshold. The top version with the same diesel 2.3-liter unit with a capacity of 170 liters. with. equipped with an eight-speed "automatic". In addition to everything listed in the initial versions, it is equipped by default with such "joys" as an 8-way electric driver's seat adjustment, a tire monitoring system, a rear-view camera, a media system with a 9-inch screen and six speakers. Dongfeng Rich will go on sale early in the first quarter of 2022. Prices are not promised to us by "space", which means that the car has every chance of success. Albeit in the sparsely growing pickup segment. One thing is clear: it will outperform the Japanese donor not only with its price, but also with the units correctly selected for our brother, layout and option. Therefore, for those who would like to have a Nissan Navara not officially presented in Russia, there is an equally Asian alternative.
