For the first time in 2 years, Russia ceased to be the main importer of Chinese cars

According to official figures, in the first two months of 2025, the supply of cars from the PRC to our country was reduced almost halved – to 57,592 vehicles. In this regard, Russia missed Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, to which the Chinese sent 85,997 and 71,418 cars, respectively.

Last year, the Russian car market has demonstrated record sales over the past five years. At the same time, the vast majority of the machines sold were on Chinese models. Now, the PRC decided to reduce the volume of supply of vehicles in connection with an increase in the recycling fee and a high interest rate. In addition, Chinese manufacturers decided to see if foreign brands would return to Russia.

In addition to Mexico, the UAE and Russia, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Great Britain, Australia, as well as Türkiye, the Philippines and Brazil were included in the first ten in import of Chinese cars.

At the end of February, it became known how many Chinese cars are in Russia. At the beginning of 2025, 2.36 million cars from the PRC were brought to the country.
