Auto expert Tselikov: sales of Chinese used cars increased by 45%

In the first four months of 2026, the volume of resales of Chinese brand cars on the secondary market amounted to 105.5 thousand units. This is 45.5% more than during the same period last year, when 72.8 thousand of these machines were sold. The share of Chinese cars in the secondary market increased to 5.7%. The head of the analytical agency Avtostat, Sergei Tselikov, reported this on his Telegram channel.

“In the structure of resales of new cars (2022–2025), the share of “Chinese” is almost 40%. At the same time, among older cars (over 5 years old), the share of Chinese brands is only 2% of the secondary market,” Tselikov said.

According to him, three Chinese brands are leading in the secondary market: Chery (20.8% of all resales), Geely (17.7%) and Haval (14.6%). The top ten most popular brands also included Changan, Lifan, Exeed, Great Wall, Omoda, Tank and Jetour.

The auto expert notes that the share of all-electric models among Chinese cars in the secondary market is 1.4%, and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) – 4.4%. For comparison, in the new car market, the share of electric cars among Chinese brands this year decreased to 0.7%, while the share of rechargeable hybrids, on the contrary, increased to 10%.
