Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 3, 2021 – Auto
In total, 85,500 new passenger cars received Ukrainian license plates last year, which is 3% less than in 2019.
In particular, in December, Ukrainians purchased and registered a record number of new passenger cars for 2020 – 9801 units. As a result, the December market grew by 7 percent compared to last year.
“Compared to other European markets, the fall in car sales in Ukraine does not look so dramatic,” the association said.
However, the reason for this, according to them, is the extremely low consumer activity in the new car market even before the COVID-19 pandemic, caused both by a fall in the purchasing power of the population focused on the segment of inexpensive cars, and by the policy of liberalizing imports of used cars.
At the end of the year, Renault took the first place in the rating of brands in the new passenger car market – 14360 cars. The most popular model of this French brand was Renault Duster – 5534 registrations in twelve months.
