Lada sellers in Kyiv state that, despite economic problems and a general decline in sales, VAZ cars are still in demand among the population.

“For example, we don’t have Lada Priora - it is no longer available. “Kalin” is also not there yet. But there is a 2015 Granta. They take the car normally, they took two Grantas from me this week. A 4x4 SUV sells even better,” a salesman at the Bogdan Motors car dealership told Izvestia, clarifying that prices for Lada decreased slightly in the spring of 2015 compared to the beginning of the year. “As long as the exchange rate is level, prices do not rise.”
