This year, car enthusiasts should not expect traditional New Year discounts. This was stated by the head of the "Russian Automobile Dealers" association (ROAD), Alexey Podshchekoldin.
According to him, car prices may even rise by the end of the year, especially for imported models.
You shouldn't expect New Year discounts. Only local promotions from individual dealers are possible.
Dealers' warehouses are running out of stocks of popular Chinese crossovers and sedans - they were actively sold in the summer and autumn against the background of stable demand and limited supply.
According to ROAD's forecast, at the end of 2025, the Russian car market will amount to about 1.3 million cars sold, which is approximately 20% less than the level of 2024.
