If at the beginning of 2025, China accounted for only about 3% of the total structure of used cars imported into the Russian Federation, then by July this figure had increased to 16%.

Tselikov noted that most of the imported cars are models of "global" brands that are produced at factories in China.

A lot of used Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, Nissan, BMW models produced in China are coming. "Chinese" brands account for about 25% of used car imports - mainly Geely and Changan.
