Last year April was the most successful month in terms of car sales. Analysts said that more than 75 thousand cars were sold, 20 thousand of them were LADA Granta models.
Such figures for the car were record-breaking since 2011. At the same time, the overall increase in sales by 2.7 times was due to the low base of last year, when April was recognized as the worst month in the history of the automotive industry.
Chinese cars also set their own record in Russia, taking 44% of the market. Thus, before the SWO, the share of Chinese brands did not exceed 7-8%. Russian brands accounted for 35% of the market, and 21% were products of global concerns that left Russia, where both residual cars and those imported as part of parallel imports were taken into account.
