Kia
Kia builds cars in China at the Yueda Kia plant, so a new Kia bought in Moscow, in a rich trim level, can come at Chinese-market pricing. Buying a used Kia in Moscow from China pays off too: we'll find a fresh unit and check its history before the purchase. In both cases we pick versions up to 160 hp, so the recycling fee stays at the discounted rate. We handle delivery, customs clearance and paperwork ourselves, so buying a Kia in Moscow and the Moscow Region comes without extra hassle.

Why a Kia from China is a good deal
There's more than one way to buy a Kia in Moscow and the region, but ordering it through import from China remains the most cost-effective option for anyone who values the balance of price and quality.
Chinese-market pricing
We don't keep a stock lot or factor a showroom's rent into the price. You pay the car's price in China, logistics, customs payments and a fixed commission.
Local production
Kia models are assembled at the plant in China, so cars are available from dealers without long waits, and Russian mechanics are well acquainted with the parts and servicing.
Rich trim levels
Chinese versions are often equipped with large infotainment screens, a panoramic roof, 360-degree cameras and driver-assistance systems even in mid-range trims.
Buying a Kia in Moscow: new and used, to order from China
Kia is one of the most in-demand brands in Russia: reliable engines, straightforward servicing, rich trim levels and strong resale value. Since the official dealer left, buying a Kia in Moscow at a fair price has gotten harder: parallel-import dealerships often mark cars up by hundreds of thousands of rubles, and classifieds are full of cars with rolled-back mileage and an unclear history.
AutoSHTAB offers a different path — buying a Kia in Moscow and the Moscow Region directly from the Chinese market. Kia builds cars in China at the Yueda Kia plant in the city of Yancheng, so new cars there sell at domestic-market prices, and the used market offers a wide choice of fresh units. We source a car for your budget, inspect it before purchase, bring it in, clear it through customs and register it. You get a car with a clear history and a fixed budget, not surprises at the border. Buying a Kia in Moscow and the region through import from China means savings without compromising on quality.

Which Kia models we import from China
We import the models Kia builds and sells on the Chinese market. Whether you're ordering a new Kia in Moscow or sourcing a fresh low-mileage car, we cover several classes — from a compact crossover to a family minivan.
| Class | Kia models | What stands out on Chinese versions |
|---|---|---|
| Compact crossovers | Sonet, Seltos | Fuel-efficient engines, high ground clearance |
| Mid-size crossovers | Sportage | Modern cabin, advanced driver assistance |
| Sedans | K3, K5 | Rich equipment, accessible price |
| Minivans | Carnival | Up to eight seats, sliding doors |
| Electric vehicles | EV5 | Built in China, long range |
The current lineup on the Chinese market keeps changing, so the manager will confirm the exact list of available versions and model years during sourcing.
Crossovers: Sportage, Seltos and Sonet
Crossovers are the most popular request. The Chinese-market Sportage offers a spacious cabin, a dual-screen instrument cluster and adaptive cruise control. The Seltos suits those looking for a compact city car with a high seating position, and the Sonet is the brand's most accessible crossover for the city and short trips.
Sedans: K3 and K5
The K3 is a practical golf-class sedan with a fuel-efficient engine and good equipment. The K5 is a business-class sedan with sporty styling and a rich feature set even in base trims. On the Chinese market both sedans are noticeably cheaper than comparable cars from Russian resellers.
Carnival minivan
The Carnival is one of the brand's roomiest family cars: up to eight seats, power sliding doors, a large boot.
Kia wagons: buying a roomy car in Moscow
A separate request we get is buying a Kia wagon in Moscow that's in good condition with a clear history. There's no classic Kia wagon on the Chinese market, but the Sportage and Carnival cover the same need: a large boot, folding seats and a high seating position. If you need a used Kia wagon in Moscow, buying a fresh crossover or minivan from China instead is often more cost-effective and practical: the car will be younger and better equipped.
Electric Kia EV5
The EV5 is an electric crossover Kia builds in China. Electric cars have their own customs-clearance rules, so we calculate the cost for them individually.
Buying a new Kia or a used one
Buying a new Kia in Moscow to order from China
If you want to buy a new Kia in Moscow, we'll find a car in the trim and colour you need from dealers in China. A new car has no operating history, comes with a fresh e-title (EPTS) and offers maximum service life. Buying a new Kia in Moscow at a price that isn't inflated by a reseller's markup is the main advantage of ordering through import. To buy a new Kia (Moscow and the region — any city), it's enough to leave a request: the manager will prepare a calculation and offer several options.
Buying a used Kia in Moscow through import from China
Many clients come to us wanting a used Kia in Moscow or the near Moscow Region, but worry about ending up with a wrecked car. Import solves that problem: we pick fresh cars on the Chinese used-car market, check their history, and an age of 3–5 years lets us reduce the customs duty. Buying a used Kia in Moscow this way works out cheaper than buying a comparable car on the local market.
If you need a used Kia in Moscow, here's what we do:
- check the VIN and request reports from Chinese services on repairs, insurance claims and servicing;
- cross-check the mileage against dealer and service-centre records;
- inspect the car on site and send a photo and video report;
- measure the paint thickness and run diagnostics.
This way you can buy a used Kia in Moscow and the Moscow Region knowing the car's real condition in advance. Buying a Kia in Moscow, used, in the region or anywhere else, becomes just as safe as buying a new one.
Transmission: buying an automatic Kia in Moscow, or a manual
The vast majority of clients want an automatic Kia in Moscow: it's more convenient in city traffic, and almost every Kia on the Chinese market comes with a classic automatic, a CVT or a DCT dual-clutch gearbox. We'll source a version with a classic automatic, a CVT or a dual-clutch transmission, depending on your priorities around reliability and fuel consumption.
If you need a manual Kia in Moscow or the region, that's possible too from China, but the choice is limited: manual gearboxes mostly show up in base trims of compact models. We'll check availability in advance and offer an alternative if the version you need isn't on the market.
Kia under 160 hp — the most cost-effective choice
The main factor driving the final cost is engine power. The discounted recycling fee for individuals applies to cars up to 160 hp imported for personal use. Above that, the recycling fee is calculated on the commercial scale and can add hundreds of thousands of rubles to the car's price.
Fortunately, Chinese-market Kia models have many versions that fit under this threshold: the Sonet, Seltos and K3, plus a number of Sportage and K5 trims with naturally aspirated engines. That's why buying a Kia at a low price in Moscow is easiest if you choose a model under 160 hp. We flag in advance which trims qualify for the discount and which don't.
Kia customs clearance and recycling fee from China: how payments are calculated
When an individual imports a car, several mandatory payments apply:
| Payment | What it depends on |
|---|---|
| Customs duty | Car's age, engine size, value |
| Customs clearance fee | Car's customs value |
| Recycling fee | Age, power, engine type |
| Excise duty and VAT (for legal entities and EVs) | Power, value |
For cars up to 3 years old, the duty is calculated as a percentage of value, but no less than a minimum rate per cubic centimetre. For cars aged 3 to 5 years, a fixed rate per engine size applies — the most cost-effective age for import. Cars over 5 years old are subject to a higher duty. The manager will prepare an exact calculation for your model for free.
Kia prices in Moscow: what the turnkey cost is made of
To understand how much buying a Kia actually costs, it helps to see not just the listing price but all the related expenses. Here's what the final cost is made of:
| Cost item | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Car price | Dealer or seller price in China |
| Costs in China | Export paperwork, domestic logistics, storage |
| Delivery to Russia | Car carrier or rail to Moscow |
| Customs payments | Duty, clearance fee, recycling fee |
| Paperwork in Russia | SBKTS, EPTS, registration |
| AutoSHTAB's services | Fixed commission for the deal |
We fix the budget in the contract before purchasing the car, so the final amount doesn't shift along the way. If you'd like to buy a Kia in Moscow and compare options, request a calculation — we'll prepare one in 15 minutes for two or three matching models.

Kia delivery times from China to Moscow
The average delivery time from China to Moscow is 30 to 60 days.
| Route | Details |
|---|---|

| Rail in a container | The car is protected from weather and damage in transit |
| Combined delivery | Used when the main crossings are heavily loaded |
You know where your car is throughout the journey: the manager reports its status at every stage.
Where to buy a Kia in Moscow: how to choose a company
Where to buy a Kia in Moscow reliably is a question that matters to every buyer. When choosing a company, pay attention to a few things:
- A contract with a legal entity. Work only with a company that puts its obligations in writing.
- A fixed budget. Every payment should be known before you buy the car.
- A condition report. An honest company shows photos, video and documents on the car before payment.
- A transparent commission. The cost of the service should be clear, with no hidden markups.
- Experience working with China. It matters that the company has vetted partners and established logistics.
AutoSHTAB meets all of these requirements. When a client decides where to buy a Kia in Moscow, we help choose a car based on their budget and needs — not whatever happens to be sitting in a lot.
