The leading model of UAZ – “Bukhanka” is the leader in sales. Cars of the SGR family were sold in the amount of 579 units, which is 41 percent of the total.

In general, over the past five months of 2025, UAZ managed to sell 8.4 thousand cars in Russia. This is exactly one third less than for the same period of 2024.

Despite the unpopularity of Hunter, the Ulyanovsk people do not intend to abandon it. At the end of May, insiders reported that the assembly of the SUV was paused for about two months. But the point is not in poor demand, but the transfer of production to a new site. By the way, in April, the Russians bought 51 Hunter instance – 22 more than in May.
