UAZ increased its share in the Russian market in 2020

Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant sold 36,487 cars in 2020, which is lower by 6% than a year ago. As a result, the share of UAZ in the Russian market was 2.3% against 2.2% a year before, the press service of the automaker reported.

As noted, the strengthening of positions is largely due to the successful December sales. The sales of 7,094 cars at the end of the year (+ 45%) –are the monthly record indicator of the brand for the previous six years. In particular, the company delivered 3,183 UAZ Patriot SUVs to its customers, which is higher by 24% than a year before. This result allowed the model to take the 11th place in the ranking of the TOP-25 of best-selling passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in December, according to the AEB.

As a reminder, in February of 2020, the current UAZ model range was supplemented by a special version of the UAZ "Bukhanka" called "Expedition" with additional off-road equipment. In March, a limited edition of the Antarctic Edition UAZ Patriot SUV went on sale, and in June, a UAZ Pickup modification with an automatic transmission appeared.
