In August 2026, the Russian car market experienced a decline for the first time in seven months, with sales of new passenger cars decreasing by 6.5% compared to the same period last year. A total of 114,285 new cars were sold, marking a significant drop from the previous month's growth. The decrease was attributed to a 15% month-on-month reduction in car imports. Despite the August dip, overall sales for the year remained 7% higher than in 2025, driven by a 23% increase in sales of domestically produced cars.
