I looked at the classics we all know well—Volvo, Range Rover, and Cadillac. I visited the showrooms, checked the real prices in Moscow for 2026, and, frankly, I was a bit stunned.
But the most interesting part began when I compared them to expensive Chinese cars. I had a Li Xiang (Lixiang) in the showroom—and that's when I was truly surprised: it turned out to be more expensive than many Volvo models.
So, in 2026, everything has turned upside down—the Chinese haven't just caught up, but in some cases, are already more expensive than classic premium cars.
I also looked at the most expensive options—like the Cadillac Escalade and Lexus LX (the same "Like the Kruzak"). Prices there are on a completely different level—tens of millions of rubles.
In this video, we explore: what are people paying so much for now—the brand or the technology? Does it make sense to buy a "classic" or are the Chinese already offering more for the same (or even more) money?
We'll talk about prices, features, interior feel, and the overall impression of the cars. I'll show you where true premium is, and where it's just expensive packaging—I'll show you with real-life examples.
If you're thinking about buying a car in 2026, this video will definitely help you understand what's happening in the market right now.
