45% of all premium cars in the Russian Federation are sold in Moscow and St. Petersburg

According to the analytic agency "AUTOSTAT", in 2018 the volume of the market of premium-segment cars in Moscow amounted to 51.7 thousand units. In St. Petersburg, this figure was equal to 16.5 thousand units. Thus, the share of two metropolitan megapolis accounts for 45% of the all-Russian market of premium cars (150 thousand units).

However, if we consider these volumes as applied to cities of the Russian Federation with a population over 1 million inhabitants, then the total share of Moscow and St. Petersburg exceeds 75%. So, for the whole previous year, residents of cities with a population over 1 million inhabitants bought about 90 thousand new premium-class cars.

The best among the provincial cities was Yekaterinburg, in which 2.7 thousand premium cars were purchased. Also, more than 2 thousand of such units were bought by residents of Krasnodar, Kazan and Rostov-on-Don. At the same time, in all cities with a population over one million people, except Volgograd, the growth of the premium car market was noted.
