According to Autostat, in the first week of December, Russians bought 30.1 thousand new cars – this is the best result in the last five weeks. Thus, in none of the November weeks did the car market manage to break through the mark of 30 thousand units – weekly sales were at the level of 25-29 thousand units. Lada models are the best selling in the country: almost every third car sold in early December was of this brand.
Lada completed the first week of December (from 2 to 8) with a result of 9.5 thousand cars sold. Next come the “Chinese”: Haval is in second place in terms of sales volume (3.7 thousand units), Chery is in third (3.4 thousand units), Geely is in fourth (2.3 thousand units), and Changan is in fifth ( 1.5 thousand pieces).
Autostat notes that sales of other brands over the past week did not exceed a thousand units. For example, Moskvich sold 772 cars and took sixth place; the top 10 also included Omoda (693 units), Jetour (650 units), Tank (564 units) and Jaecoo (544 units). At the same time, the last two brands supplanted the Chinese-Belarusian Belgee and BAIC from the top ten.
