Geely reports record high sales volumes in Russia in September.
The Russian new car market in September grew by 36.7% year-on-year to 150,879 units, resulting in a year-to-date increase of 60.9% to 1,154,778 units. Local giant Lada is showing stability year-on-year, meaning it is actually losing huge market share, from 31.7% in September 2023 to just 23.2% now, its lowest level since March 2022. Haval (+78%) breaks its monthly sales record again at 19,725 units, as do Geely (+75% to 16,055), Changan (+88.8% to 11,534), Jetour (+144.5% to 3 917) and newcomer Jaecoo up to 3,027. Chery (+33.9%) does not keep up with the market, but remains in third place. Omoda (-13.7%) and Exeed (-20.2%) disappoint.
In terms of model, Lada Granta’s share (-17.8%) actually fell year-on-year to just 10.6% for the month, compared to 12.9% this year. Lada Vesta (+64.8%) is also weak: its market share is 7% versus 8.1% since the beginning of the year. Conversely, this is a record month for Haval Jolion (+68.8%), achieving its highest monthly volume ever. Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max (+65.1%) and Tiggo 4 Pro (+48%) round out the top five, unchanged compared to last month. The Geely Monjaro (+72.4%) is at its highest level since March last year and ahead of the Changan CS55 Plus (+339%).
