Chinese car sales are growing in Russia

According to the estimation of the analytic agency AUTOSTAT, in April of 2019, 3,098 new cars of Chinese brands were sold in our country, which is more by 4% than a year ago. Meanwhile, according to the results of 4 months, their sales also show an increase (+ 1% to 10,098 units). Thus, the sales of Chinese cars are growing against the background of the fall of the whole Russian market.

According to agency experts, among the automakers from the PRC, the best market dynamics is demonstrated by the leaders of this segment. So, in April, sales of Geely increased 3.6 times (up to 786 units), while sales of Haval increased 2.9 times (up to 603 units). In addition to them, DFM (+ 72%), Changan (+ 2%) and Brilliance (+ 7%) were also in the “plus”.

The rest Chinese brands showed the negative dynamics in the Russian market in the last month, and Lifan (-62% to 487 units) fell the most, which for several years in a row was the leader in this segment, and now it is only the fourth one.
