The most popular cars in Russia in the 50th week of this year were Chinese. This is reported by the experts of the agency "AUTOSTAT" with reference to the data of JSC "PPK"*. So, for the period from December 12 to December 18th, 2022, Russians purchased 3,742 new passenger cars of Chinese brands, which is equivalent to 34.8% of the total market volume.
