During the first quarter of 2025, Ukrainians and local enterprises purchased 14.3 thousand new passenger cars. Compared to the first quarter of 2024, we see a decrease in trading volumes of -16.5%.
In total, in January-March, dealers sold an average of about 4.8 thousand new cars each month. Which is less than in the same period last year, when about 5.7 thousand new cars left car dealerships.
The majority of new passenger cars, as usual (97.3%, 13,868 units), were imported from abroad. The share of passenger cars manufactured in Ukraine was 2.7% (389 units).
Among the brands, the most cars with Toyota, Renault, and Skoda emblems were submitted for first registration. Here are the Top 10 manufacturers according to the results of the first quarter of the year:
Among individual models, like last year, the most frequently leaving showrooms were Renault Duster and Toyota RAV4. The difference in quantity between the following participants is much greater in relation to the leaders of this Top 10, but much smaller between them. With such a relatively small contrast, only a few cars have an impact on the final quarterly position of the model in the list. Which can ultimately be explained by considerable competition between a number of crossovers of the same size (and sometimes price) class. Interestingly, only one liftback remained in the top ten most popular passenger cars — Skoda Octavia, the rest are crossovers.
Among new cars registered as manufactured in Ukraine (quantitatively included in the overall rating), the leader in the first quarter was the Skoda Karoq crossover (201 units), which is produced at the Transcarpathian Eurocar plant. The second place among the products of the same enterprise is the Skoda Kodiaq (27 units). The third position is occupied by the Volkswagen Crafter (26 units). The next steps were divided among cars converted by local enterprises for various special purposes (ordered by the police, medical services, etc.).
