— In the eight months of 2021, some 200,000 new cars were imported. And for the eight months of 2022 – just over 100,000. That is, the share of imports in the market remained about the same as in 2021 – about 20%. The import of new cars to Russia did not stop,” said Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Albert Karimov.

He confirmed, for example, that the volume of new car imports in our country has fallen by almost half compared to last year. According to him, about 420,000 cars were produced in Russia during the same period, which is 60% less than in the same period a year earlier.

Recall that in order to circumvent Western sanctions, the Russian authorities allowed parallel imports of products from almost all foreign car brands. Among them are Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota and a number of others.
