In the month of April 2022, sales of new cars in Russia have accounted for a total of 32,706 units, which represents a decrease of 78.5% when compared to the data obtained in the same period of time last year. Registrations have not bottomed out and the Russian market continues to sink due to sanctions.
The Russian car market is not bottoming out. In the month of april 2022 the car sales in Russia have reached the 32,706 units. A volume of registered copies that, if compared with that obtained in the same period of time the previous year, represents a worrying 78.5% drop. The decline worsens if we take into account the data for March.
The accumulated sales figures have been, logically, affected by the falls in recent months. Some declines that we can mostly attribute to the economic sanctions imposed on Russia and to the fact that numerous car brands have decided to stop their activity in this territory. Between January and April new car registrations have accumulated 293,846 units, 43.0% less than in 2021.
Lada Granta, the best-selling car in Russia in April 2022
What have been the most outstanding models? The ranking of the best-selling cars in Russia
During April, it presents numerous changes with respect to previous editions of this monthly list. It is somewhat predictable considering the storm that hits the Russian market. The victory has been for the Lada Granta. In second place appears the Lada Vesta and, closing the podium, in third place, we have the Lada Niva.
It is no surprise that Lada stars on the podium. Despite the problems affecting the country, the Russian brand continues to concentrate the bulk of car sales. At the gates of the podium we have the Hyundai Solaris and, just behind, in fifth position, appears the KIA Rio. A model that in the accumulated ranking continues to boast of being the most popular car among Russian drivers.
The Renault Logan (7th) has been another of the most outstanding models. It has climbed numerous positions in the ranking, even surpassing the Renault Duster (10th). Recall that the Dacia brand does not operate in Russia. The models of the Romanian firm are sold under Renault.
