Due to the sanctions imposed last year, many new 2022 cars have not officially reached Russia, but they are supplied through the parallel import system. The Autonews resource provided data on Russian prices for some recent world news.

One of them is the new Range Rover Sport: the new generation model received a monocoque body (this seems to be normal, the future electric Land Cruiser Se will follow the same path) and in-line six-cylinder engines (both gasoline and diesel) instead of V6 engines.
Prices for Range Rover Sport range from 18 to 24 million rubles; cars with in-line six-cylinder engines are available at dealers. But the top-end version with a V8 is not available, but it can be brought to order.

The fifth generation Jeep Grand Cherokee in its homeland in the USA is, one might say, a budget SUV: the price starts at 36.5 thousand. dollars (that’s 3.4 million rubles), but in Russia the car is presented as premium – and the price, naturally, is higher.

One of the major dealers offers both the regular Grand Cherokee and the three-row Grand Cherokee L version. Prices range from 8 to 16 million rubles, while all cars are equipped with a base 3.6-liter V6 engine with a capacity of 294 hp, although on the domestic market there are options with a 5.7-liter V8 and a hybrid power plant.
The new Lexus RX is cheaper in Russia. For example, metropolitan dealers ask for a car from 9.5 to 13.5 million rubles. Most cars are equipped with a 2.4-liter turbo engine, but there are also hybrid options – they are more expensive.

The latest generation Mitsubishi Outlander is an interesting model: it is built not on the original platform, but on the basis of the Nissan X-Trail platform. At the same time, the base 1.5-liter engine and the hybrid version based on the 2.4-liter engine are Mitsubishi, while the version with a 2.5-liter internal combustion engine and CVT is borrowed from Nissan. And it is precisely the last option that is the most popular: almost all Outlanders offered in Russia are equipped with it.
The minimum cost of such a crossover in Moscow is 2.9 million rubles, and the dealer gives a 5-year warranty under the terms of the official Mitsubishi warranty.
