Overview

• The weighted-average price of a new passenger car reached 3.34 million rubles in September, up 4% from August and 6% year over year.
• The average price on the used-car market fell to 1.14 million rubles, 1.5% lower than in August.
• Autostat attributes the increase to reduced autumn discounts, a smaller share of last year’s cheaper models, and shifts toward alternative supply channels.
• Registrations of global marques including Toyota, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, Skoda, and Volkswagen rose, elevating the market’s average transaction price versus predominantly Russian–Chinese offerings.
• Agency director Sergey Tselikov forecasts further new-car price gains in October and expects used-car prices to stabilize.
