During August 2025, Ukrainians and local enterprises purchased 6.9 thousand new passenger cars. Compared to August 2024, we have a decrease in volumes of 14.6%, but when comparing this yearʼs August to July, we get a plus of 7.2%.
The majority of new passenger cars, as usual (97.9%, 6,787 units), were imported from abroad. The share of passenger cars manufactured in Ukraine was 2.1% (149 units).
Among the brands, the most cars with Toyota, BYD, and Volkswagen emblems were submitted for first registration. Here are the Top 10 manufacturers according to the results of August of this year:
This time the slide with the models looks more familiar — the leadership goes to the Renault Duster, but the BYD Song Plus is not far behind, which probably just took a break to catch its breath and someday take the first place again. The bestseller of previous years, the Toyota RAV4, is in third place.
Among new cars registered as manufactured in Ukraine (quantitatively included in the overall ranking), the leader last month was the Skoda Karoq crossover (83 units), which is produced at the Transcarpathian Eurocar plant. Other places are occupied by cars of the PU, VD, SKS brands and similar ones converted by local enterprises, often in quantities of less than 10 units.
The share of legal entities that became buyers of new cars last month was 27.4%, while private buyers — individuals, respectively, bought 72.6% of new cars.
The picture of fuel priorities in the new passenger car segment is as follows: gasoline versions are in the lead with a share of 31.7%. Electric vehicles are in second place, each time they are getting closer to taking a third of the market — 28.1%. Versions with hybrid power plants are currently in third place with a share of 23.2% in the segment. Diesels attracted the attention of only 16.9% of buyers, and this value has decreased again.
