New car market in Russia: April 2025 figures are released

According to the AEB Automobile Manufacturers' Committee, a total of 99,408 new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles were sold in Russia in April 2025.

According to data obtained from PPC JSC, the market size in April 2025 was 105,939 units, which is 26% less than in April 2024. For the first four months of 2025, sales of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in Russia decreased by 26% compared to the same period in 2024, and amounted to 360,008 vehicles.

Chairman of the Automobile Manufacturers' Committee, Alexey Kalitsev comments:
“April did not bring any surprises. The result of the month is quite predictable. The market continues to feel the impact of measures previously introduced by the state.

A wide range of existing offers, as well as significant discounts from individual market players, which made it possible to slow down the decline in sales (relative to March, the market grew by 27%), are nevertheless not as attractive to consumers as the existing bank offers for placing funds.

It seems that the time has come for the state to intervene decisively and support consumer demand by resuming preferential programs and providing subsidies.”

According to the AEB Automobile Manufacturers’ Committee, total sales of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in March 2025 amounted to 82,656 units.
