Moscow, October 14 /Xinhua/ — Sales of new vehicles on the Russian market in the fourth quarter of 2025 are expected to total 350,000 units, and 1.3-1.4 million for the entire year. This was announced on Tuesday by Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade previously reported that just over 1 million vehicles of all types, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses, were sold in Russia from January to September 2025. The market decline compared to the same period last year was 24.6%.
According to A. Alikhanov, given the dynamics of the automotive market, the ministry expects a total of 350,000 vehicles to be sold in the fourth quarter.
"By the end of 2025, the new car market across all segments will reach approximately 1.3-1.4 million units. This is approximately a quarter less than last year's results, but it may exceed the more moderate growth figures for 2023, when approximately 1.3 million cars were sold," the minister noted.
He also noted that demand stimulation measures, the main ones being preferential car loans and leasing, continue to support the market. "In the first eight months of 2025, approximately 115,000 domestically produced cars have already been sold using these instruments," A. Alikhanov clarified.
