The latest figures show that a third of the cars recently bought in Russia are of Chinese origin.
Russian automotive publications report that China’s influence on the country’s new car market is growing rapidly. Statistics show that in the period from September 26 to October 3 (week 39), Russian citizens bought 2,562 new cars of Chinese brands, which is almost 30 percent of the total number of cars sold.
“Only Russian brands are higher, accounting for 39.8% of the number of cars sold last week, while the” Koreans “are more than twice behind the” Chinese “- their share was 12, 8% in the reporting period “, reports Autonews.ru.
After the 39th week results, Lada became the most popular brand with 3,298 cars sold, followed by Chery (1,091 units) and Haval (658 units) in third place.
In the ranking of the most popular models, the first place is occupied by the Lada Granta with 2171 units, followed by the Chinese manufacturer Chery the Tiggo 7 PRO and Tiggo 4 models with 488 and 476 units. The Chinese-made crossover Haval Jolion is in fourth position (441 units), while the top five is completed by the Lada Niva Travel SUV (372 units).
Analysts explain that these results are a consequence of the lack of adequate competition from European and Korean brands, which arose due to the well-known geopolitical situation.
