The year-to-date volume is now down -4.3% to 392,943 and down -63.2% on the same period in 2021.

Lada (+84.2%) improves to 56.2% share, its highest since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Haval (+273.8%) surges ahead to hold a record 18.8% of the market, followed by GAZ (+81.4%) and UAZ (+42.2%). Newcomer Tank stays in 5th place above FAW (+517%), new Russian brand Sollers and Great Wall (+251.4%). Kia (-77.3%) and Skoda (-81.4%) round out the Top 10.
Model-wise, like last month the podium is 100% Lada with the Granta (+44.9%) back down below the 30% share milestone at 28.3%. It distances the Lada Niva aka 4×4 (+306.4%) at a record 15.9% share and the Lada Vesta (+199.7%) breaking the 10% share benchmark for the first time at 11.2%. The Haval Jolion (+190.2%) is up to a best-ever 9.4% of the market ahead of the GAZ Gazelle (+88.2%), Haval F7 (+317.9%) and Dargo (+651.6%) all sporting fantastic year-on-year gains.
