Although in a greatly diminished state, the Russian new car market somehow persists. And it still has leaders and outsiders. The AvtoVzglyad portal has figured out the situation with Japanese crossovers that can still be found at dealers.
Sales of the most popular Japanese SUVs in Russia at the beginning of the year were quite satisfactory. One and a half to two thousand a month – easy! But since March, the pace of implementation has started to slow down. And now several hundred found owners of cars of one model or another per month is already good. The reasons for this state of affairs are known to all and I do not even want to repeat again about the rapidly rising prices, falling incomes of potential buyers and other obvious factors.
Nevertheless, sales somehow continue and the dates on the calendar have passed the six-month mark since early 2022. Which allows us to draw some conclusions. Among other things, in the field of sales of Japanese crossovers on Russian soil.
Note that all “Japanese” considered in this material have exclusively gasoline “engines” as power sources. And almost all of them in the initial configurations are equipped with front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox.Almost the only exception in this sense can be considered the Mitsubishi Outlander with its CVT “in the base”.
