Russia increased the import of cars from South Korea by more than one and a half times

In March, South Korean cars in the amount of $ 72.2 million were imported to Russia, RIA Novosti writes with reference to the statistical services of South Korea. This is 1.6 times more than a year ago, and the maximum indicator from February 2024. Moreover, only in a month it grew 1.3 times.

Most often from the Republic of Korea to Russia, cars with engines with a volume of one and a half to three liters are shipped to Russia. In March, 50.1 million dollars were spent on them. Also in the lists are cars with engines with a volume of one and a half to 2.5 liters and from one to one and a half liters. Koreans do not disclose statistics on specific models.

Thus, in March, Russia took 12th line in the list of the largest importers of South Korean cars, rising from 22 places for a year. The championship in this rating belongs to the United States, where Martha was imported $ 2.8 billion for March. Behind them, by a huge margin, Canada (487 million), Australia (227 million), Kyrgyzstan (224 million) and Great Britain (206 million).
