The most popular car brand that Russians leave as collateral in auto pawnshops is LADA. It has overtaken foreign brands Kia, Hyundai and Toyota, which have long been leaders in the car pawn ranking.
LADA accounts for 11.5% of all cars left as collateral for auto loans. The brands Hyundai, Kia, Toyota and Ford have an indicator of 6% to 9%.
Note that the American brand pushed Volkswagen out of the ranking, and Skoda dropped out of the top 10 car brands for loans. Instead, BMW is in last place.
At the same time, European brands began to be left as collateral less than before, but the number of pledged Chinese cars, as well as cars of Russian brands, increased. The number of the latter has increased by 1.5 times. This is not surprising.
Researchers recall that after the increase in the share of domestic and Chinese cars in the Russian market, their share also increased in the portfolios of companies that specialize in issuing auto loans.
