Belarusian crossover Belgee X50 became the new sales leader in Russia among foreign cars

The Belarusian crossover Belgee X50 has for the first time taken first place in the list of the most popular foreign cars in Russia. This was reported by "Autostat".

Over the past week, 1399 cars of this model were sold. That is why the Belarusian car overtook the Haval Jolion assembled near Tula (1379 such cars were sold). Thus, Belgee X50 took second place after the domestic Lada Granta.

Belgee X50 is a rebranding of the Chinese Geely Coolray model, produced at the BelGee Belarusian plant in Borisov. The company was launched in 2017-2018, initially as a joint venture between Geely and Belarusian partners. It was built as a CKD production (assembly from kits) with a capacity of up to 60,000 cars per year and the possibility of expansion.

Since 2023, the model has been produced under the Belgee brand and is positioned as an affordable crossover for the Russian and Belarusian markets. The car is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 150 hp and a 7-speed "robot", offered in three versions - Active, Style and Prestige - at a price of 2.4 million rubles, excluding trade-in and special discounts.

What about the car market in Russia

In the first week of September, 28.9 thousand sales of new passenger cars were registered on the Russian market. This result was 3% lower compared to the previous week and 24% lower than the figures for the same period last year. The general trend shows that the market remains in the red, and the new car segment continues to lose to the "secondary" market.

At the end of the first half of 2025, 95% of all car purchases were for used cars. New cars accounted for only 5% of transactions, their average cost was 70% higher than that of used cars.
