New vehicle sales in Russia remain at very poor levels despite having improved the data of the horrible 2020. Specifically, have registered 1,260,111 units which represent an increase of 15.1% but still very far from the records prior to the pandemic.
Has not changed the type of vehicles that Russians buy, mostly locally made and priced right. Luxury cars are not having a good time and it is the Chinese who seem to have climbed positions, conquering users with their most modern products.
Lada It is the strongest brand by far, taking more than one hundred thousand units to the second best-selling firm that has been Kia. Both can be very satisfied with the data obtained, although among the best sellers Haval is the one that has shone the most with a 115% increase.

Vehicles of a multitude of brands are marketed in Russia and it is one of the largest markets there is today. European firms generally sell well if they are luxury (with a high share in their segment) or if they are Volkswagen, Skoda or Renault. Beyond this, it is very difficult for them to gain a foothold.
Something similar happens between the Japanese and only Nissan or Toyota they manage to shine with great force (it is true that Mitsubishi has in the Outlander a bestseller but does not have any more prominent models). Mazda has managed to capture the attention of users with the CX-5 but it leaves the rest of the options somewhat far from the best sellers.
Returning to the Chinese brands, after several unsuccessful attempts with low-quality products they have discovered that by offering the most modern, equipped and superior quality variants it is possible to gain a foothold … and there they are Haval, Chery, Geely, FAW and Changan.
