Kiinalaiset ovat ottaneet haltuunsa Venäjän henkilöautojen markkinat. Vuonna 2023 Venäjällä myytiin yli miljoona henkilöautoa, joista suurin osa oli kiinalaisia. Erityisesti kiinalaisten autojen myynti kasvoi syksyllä 2023.
Ennen Ukrainan sotaa myytiin 1,5 miljoonaa autoa ja huippuvuonna 2008 lähes kaksi miljoonaa. Uusien autojen hinnat ovat vuodessa nousseet 25%.
Myös Iran haluaisi myydä Venäjälle iranilaisia autoja. Iranissa on kaksi valtion omistamaa autotehdasta, Khodro ja Saipa.
Khodro Tara -merkkinen auto perustuu Peugeot 301:en, jota 2016 suunniteltiin valmistettavan Iranissa yhteistyössä Peugeot Citroen -yrityksen kanssa. Pakotteiden vuoksi yhteistyöstä luovuttiin, mutta Iran jatkoi omin päin. Tehtaan mukaan auto on 92% "kotimainen".
Saipa Shahin -merkkinen auto juontaa juurensa Toyota Yarikseen aina 30 vuoden päähän vanhoihin hyviin aikoihin.

"Car sales in Russia still remain down from their pre-war levels, but they have made up at least two thirds of the ground lost.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade in Russia reported a total of 1.056mn new passenger car sales in 2023, representing a 62% increase from the previous year.
However, the market has become import-dependent, with vehicles produced in Russia constituting only 49% of the market as the lack of imported parts still weighs on production.
Domestic production of cars remains 82% down from the end of 2021. Even AvtoVaz has been dependent on the import of things like airbags, on board computers and electric window winders.
The disruptions in supplies and parts have also pushed prices up. The average price of new cars in Russia has surged, reaching RUB2.8–3.1mn ($24,533-$27,162) in the second half of 2023, compared to RUB2.29mn in 2022."
"Chinese companies sold 800,000 last year, five times more than in 2022."

"Western sanctions on Moscow over its Feb. 2022 invasion of Ukraine have provided Iran’s top carmakers with an opportunity to re-enter the Russian market. Iran Khodro (IKCO) vehicles made a new debut in Russia in July, and Saipa is expected to launch a range of cars later this year."
"Lucky Currency’s CEO identified the Lada Granta and Lada Vesta, both produced by Russian manufacturer Avtovaz, as the primary competitors of Saipa vehicles. "We intend to sell the Saipa Quik for approximately 13,500 USD, the Saipa Saina for 14,000-14,500 USD, and the Saipa Shahin for 20,000 USD," he stated.
By comparison, the official Lada website currently lists car prices starting at around 7,500 USD, with the highest-priced models costing 17,000 USD.
Vachinsky also told Amwaj.media that there are plans to launch Saipa car assembly operations 10 km (6.2 miles) outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus. In his estimate, such a step will reduce Saipa car prices by approximately 2,000 USD per vehicle."
