According to the Russian automobile data agency "А в т о с т а т" citing А А "" in the online program "А А т А т о тивка", Russia imported a total of 75,700 passenger cars in April 2026, including 34,300 new cars and 41,400 used cars. Overall, Russian car imports still maintain a high popularity, and the pattern of source countries of the two tracks of new and used cars is becoming more and more clear.

In terms of new car imports, China still occupies an absolute dominant position. Among Russia's new car imports in April, the proportion from China was close to 72%, ranking first. Ranked second is Kyrgyzstan, accounting for 17.8%; Belarus ranks third with 3%, and Japan and South Korea rank in the top five with 2.8% and 1.9% respectively. This structure shows that the main supply of Russia's new car market has been highly concentrated in China, especially China brand cars, models produced in China, and vehicles entering Russia through neighboring countries are still the main market forces.

The used car market is a different story. Among Russia's imports of second-hand passenger cars in April, Japan continued to maintain an overwhelming advantage, with a share of nearly 60%, and remains the most recognized source for Russian consumers. China ranked second with 22.7%, South Korea with 7.7%, Georgia and Belarus with 2.2% and 2.1% respectively. From the data point of view, Japanese cars have not wavered as the "leader" position in the Russian used car market, but China has firmly established the second position, and its share is not low.

written in the end

Russia's April import data shows that the division of labor between China and Japan in the local market is becoming clearer: China firmly dominates the import of new cars, Japan continues to retain its traditional advantages in used cars, and China's used cars have gradually entered the mainstream alternative list of Russian buyers from a supplementary role. For domestic exporters, this means that there is still room for growth in the Russian market, but the competition is no longer just the number of vehicle sources, but who can do a more solid job in model positioning, price control, customs clearance routes and delivery stability.
