In January 2025, the average price of new cars in Russia saw a significant increase, rising by 5.7% compared to December 2024. This brought the average cost to 3.94 million rubles, according to recent market analysis. The trend was not uniform across the country, with prices rising in 12 regions, including Moscow and Tatarstan, while decreasing in 10 others, such as the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Ulyanovsk Region.
Meanwhile, the Russian automotive market is facing a surplus, with around 700,000 new cars currently in stock at distributors. This figure is nearly double that of early 2024, with 52% of the inventory consisting of domestically produced vehicles.
The rising prices and surplus inventory reflect the ongoing challenges in the Russian automotive industry, as consumers face fewer affordable options and manufacturers grapple with market dynamics.
