In Russia, cars sales were record low after invasion of Ukraine

In general, during the year of sales of cars in the Russian Federation decreased four times. To possess models of Western brands in Russia has become too expensive because of a lack of components and rising prices. In Russia, the sale of new cars decreased markedly compared to 2021. According to experts, this is directly related to the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. This was told on Carscoops.

Most Western manufacturers left the Russian market because of military aggression against Ukraine. Now demand is only Chinese and domestic cars. Strike at Yale University, Stephen Tian said that the Russian economy has weakened very much because of numerous sanctions. He noted that before the invasion of Ukraine, the Russians bought about 100,000 cars a month, and now this figure has decreased to 25,000 cars. "The Russians just buy fewer cars.

It speaks of consumer weakness in Russia," Stephen Tian said. The expert stressed that the Russians rarely bought domestic cars by 2022. Now Lada models are in demand. Also, Russians often choose Chinese cars that have filled the market. For example, sales of Geely models in the Russian market have increased by 88% compared to last year. Stephen Tian added that the Russians have a few more problems that include rising prices and a shortage of components for cars.
