In October, Ukrainians and local enterprises bought 5,500 new cars. This is slightly more than it was a month earlier, by 6.3%, but by a similar amount less than what was recorded a year ago, in October 23rd: -7.2%.

As usual, the majority of new passenger cars in October (97.1%, 5,295 units) were imported from abroad. The share of passenger cars manufactured in Ukraine by the method of large-unit assembly or converted from imported machine kits amounted to 2.9% (157 units).
