What Allur does

Allur (JSC Allur Group of Companies / АО «Группа Компаний Аллюр») is Kazakhstan's largest automotive group, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Astana with major operations in Almaty. The company operates as the official distributor and dealer for nine or more international brands spanning South Korean (Kia), American (Chevrolet), Chinese (JAC, Jetour, Li Auto, Geely Galaxy, MG, Soueast), and European (Škoda) OEMs, covering price segments from entry-level vehicles starting at approximately 5.99 million KZT (around $13,000) to premium SUVs up to 53.99 million KZT (around $120,000). Its core vertical operations include CKD (Completely Knocked Down) vehicle assembly at the Allur Automotive Plant, which produces four models locally — JAC S3, Kia Sportage, Chevrolet Onix, and Jetour X70 Plus — making it the largest domestic producer in Kazakhstan. Beyond distribution and manufacturing, Allur runs Allur Finance, a financial services division partnering with 14 banks and insurance providers (Eurasian Bank, Halyk Bank, ForteBank, Altyn Bank, Shinhan Bank, Bereke Bank, Bank CenterCredit, Freedom Bank, Sapa Digital Finance, SK Basel, ioka, Nur Leasing, and others) that has facilitated over 140,000 auto credit agreements.

Allur's revenue model combines one-time vehicle sales through its 123+ dealer center network with recurring financial-services income from auto credit, leasing, and insurance — supplemented by authorized technical service and aftersales maintenance for all distributed brands. The integrated customer journey is anchored by Eurasian Drive, a digital auto-credit platform developed with Eurasian Bank that integrates the Ministry of Internal Affairs, MCRIA, NAO Government for Citizens, and NIT to enable full online vehicle purchase, financing approval, ЭЦП digital signature, registration, and number-plate selection in under one hour. The company sells primarily to individual consumers in Kazakhstan (over 140,000 financed customers) through owned flagship showrooms in Almaty and Astana plus a partner dealer network nationwide, with a secondary B2B segment serving corporate fleets and employee benefit programs.

Marketing and customer acquisition run through the official allur.kz website, social media (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook), a corporate news portal (Allur Bügin), and CSR-led community engagement including the Ortaq Jol road-safety mobile app, the Allur Campus housing project, Kostanay Half Marathon sponsorship, and youth-recognition programs. Operational reach is exclusively domestic; no cross-border sales or exports are disclosed. Leadership is led by Chairman Andrey Lavrentyev, President Oksana Valerevna Kholstinina, and Managing Director for Retail Mukhamed Alimkhanov, with the company privately held and not listed on any exchange.
