The commercial vehicle market is in a sharp red: in May 2022, 8,179 new units were registered, 58% less than a year earlier.
More than half (56.5%) of all new car sales in May fell to four brands – LADA (6656 units), Kia (3576 units), Hyundai (3097 units) and Renault (2183 units). Chinese brand Chery (1661 units), which was only seventh in April, climbed to fifth position.
At the same time, two other brands from China – Haval (1220 units; 7th place) and Geely (905 units; 9th place) entered the top 10 in May. In addition to them, Nissan (1233 units), Skoda (1095 units) and Toyota (870 units) are also in the top ten.
The Motor1.com publication clarified that the level of sales of 27 thousand passenger cars per month or almost 300 thousand cars per year was typical for the USSR before the launch of the Volga Automobile Plant in the early 70s of last century. Since then, sales of new cars in Russia have always been higher.
“Obviously, this situation will be temporary and will change with the adjustment of supplies of identical imported cars, as well as components for the resumption of car production in Russia. However, there are fears that prices continues to rise, “the newspaper wrote. .
Recall that in April, sales of new cars in Belarus fell 3.5 times – up to 892 units. This is the worst result in the last 10 years.
