OREANDA-NEWS. Analytic agency "AUTOSTAT" conducted a study of the market of new cars, which covered sales of Chinese brands in Russia.

According to the study, by the results of two months of 2016 it was sold 4.9 thousand cars from China in our country - more by 7% than during the same period of a year ago. At the same time, it corresponds to the share of 2.7% of the total volume of the Russian market, although a year ago, this figure was only 2%.

The leader of sales of Chinese cars in Russia is still the Lifan. Thus, in January – February of 2016 they reached 2.3 thousand units, an increase of 54%. It is followed by Geely, whose sales during this period were 1.2 thousand units (+ 6%). Sales of other brands from China are more modest, but they also find themselves in a "plus»: Chery (+ 14%), Brilliance (+ 8%), DFM (+ 156%), Changan (+ 71%), Haima (+ 21%) .

As it was already reported by "AUTOSTAT", by the results of two months of this year, the whole Russian passenger car market fell by more than 20%, and therefore the growth of Chinese brand sales naturally led to an increase of their market share.
