From the summer of 2022, it is particularly striking how actively Chinese car manufacturers are increasing their presence in the scarce domestic market. But the exact estimate of the size of this expansion has only now been published by Russian Customs.

In 2022, the import volume of new cars from China has increased by 40% compared to 2021 and passed the 117,000 unit mark, as reported by the Federal Customs Service. It should be remembered that less than 650,000 cars and light commercial vehicles were sold in Russia last year. Of these, AVTOVAZ products accounted for just over 188,000 units. Thus, in terms of sales, the “Chinese” quickly approached the leader of the domestic car market.

We also note that last year not only imports of new, but also used cars to Russia increased sharply. In particular, 197,000 used cars were brought into our country via Vladivostok in 2022, mostly right-hand drive from the Japanese market. This is 72% more than in 2021.
