Chinese brands are entering the Russian market more and more actively, and those that entered earlier continue to expand their model ranges. Experts of "AUTOSTAT" agency decided to calculate how many brands from China are already presented in our country, as well as the number of models offered by them. According to our data, this year 19 new Chinese brands have officially entered the Russian market - BAIC, Haima, Hongqi, Jetour, Kaiyi, Livan, Jetta, SWM, TANK, JAECOO, ORA, Wey, AITO, Forthing, Lixiang, Rising, Venucia, Voyah, Skywell.
These are those who have made official presentations, announced their intention to sell cars in Russia, opened sales in car dealerships (own or partner), started to form dealer networks and service centers. At that, for Haima it is not the first coming to Russia. Taking into account the Chinese brands that were officially represented in our country until 2023 (such as Haval, Chery, Geely and others; 16 in total), the total number of brands from China presented in Russia reaches 35. If we add those Chinese brands whose cars are sold unofficially (Zeekr, Avatr, BYD, Hiphi, Xpeng and others; more than 20 in total), we will get about 60 brands representing the Chinese car industry.
As for models, only officially operating Chinese brands in 2023 offered almost 100 new models to Russians. And taking into account the ones supplied with the help of parallel imports - the number of Chinese models offered to the market amounted to more than one hundred. And this is not the limit yet. Because Chinese automakers continue to enter our market and expand their presence here.
