In Russia, 132.9 thousand new passenger cars were sold in October, 19.8% less than a year ago. At the same time, compared to September, sales increased by 8.2%, and October itself became the best month since the beginning of 2026. The monthly recovery is combined with a lag from last year's level. The reason for the annual decrease is mainly due to the high base of October 2025. So, buyers rushed to buy cars before the recycling fee went up, which temporarily boosted sales. Therefore, the current decrease does not mean that the market continued to decrease compared to the previous month: in October, on the contrary, it increased. Lada remains the leader with a result of 29.7 thousand cars. Next come the Chinese Aval - 16.9 thousand and the Russian Tent - 15.3 thousand cars. October statistics show that the revival of local sales has not yet offset the impact of last year's rush, and the distribution of demand among the major brands remains an important part of the market picture.
