For the previous week (from September 12th to September 18th, 2022), almost 4,000 new LADA cars were purchased in Russia, which is 41% of the total. This was found out by the experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT" as a result of processing and analyzing the data of JSC "Electronic Passport".
Experts note that the last time the share of LADA in the Russian market exceeded 40% was back in 2005. Then it was 48.7%, but in 2006 it dropped to 36.9%. After 2007, this indicator was consistently below the 30% mark, and in 2014 it even dropped to a minimum of 15%.
As for other brands, the share of each of them last week (the 37th this year) was less than 8%, and the TOP-5 included: Kia (757 units), Haval (734 units), Chery (664 units) and Hyundai (604 units). Other brands had less than 600 cars in the market.
Cars of LADA Granta family are still the leaders among the models - for the period from September 12 to September 18, there were purchased 2,728 units. In second place, with a huge gap, there is Haval Jolion crossover (820 units), which became the best among foreign cars. Behind it in the ranking there are LADA Niva Legend SUV (476 units) and Chery Tiggo 7 PRO crossover (402 units). The top five is finished by LADA Vesta (345 units).
In total, for the previous week, Russians have purchased 9,652 new cars. And if we compare this result with what it was a week earlier (from September 5th to 11th), then it turns out to be only 0.5% higher.
