LADA sales showed a slight drop in the EU in March

In the first spring month of this year, 466 new LADA cars were sold in the European Union countries, which is less by 1.3% than a year ago. As the experts of the analytic agency AUTOSTAT noted (according to the results of ACEA data processing), their sales fell for the first time in 2019.

Just over half (50.2%) of sales fell on the countries of Western Europe, whose residents acquired 234 new LADA cars in March. Moreover, there is even an increase in their sales (+ 4%).

Meanwhile, despite the March fall, in the first quarter of 2019, the sales of LADA shows a positive trend. Thus, during this period, 1.3 thousand cars of the Russian brand were sold - more by 2.4% than in January-March of the last year. And it is only 0.03% of the European car market, more detailed information about which is contained here.

As previously reported AUTOSTAT, due to the tightening of environmental standards, AvtoVAZ decided to leave temporarily the car market of the European Union. Considering the current sales volumes, this decision seems to be quite reasonable for the experts.
