The most widespread brand in this segment is Toyota.

In second place in this rating is BMW - the number of such diesel cars in Russia is 285.8 thousand vehicles (share - 10.8%). On the third position is Volkswagen with 206.6 thousand vehicles (7.8%).

Corporate fleets are switching to Chinese cars​

With the departure from Russia of the majority of foreign automakers, corporate buyers have faced a reduced choice of models for renewal of their fleets. On the eve of the auto business forum "FinAuto - 2024. Financial Instruments of the Auto Market", which will be held on April 17 and 18 in Moscow, the speakers of the event and other industry participants told AUTOSTAT agency what cars have replaced the foreign cars that have left our country.
According to Sergey Orlov, manager of the Transportation Support Center of Administrative Unit of Mobile TeleSystems PJSC, the dynamics of fleet renewal has not changed after the majority of foreign automakers left Russia. Chinese-made cars officially sold in Russia are under consideration. Chinese car industry covers 100% of MTS needs. Cars imported through parallel imports are not purchased for the following reasons: lack of official suppliers, lack of warranty, lack of technological equipment for car maintenance.
Fleetico's managing partner Sergey Dianin also notes an active transition of corporate fleets to cars of Chinese manufacturers. All possible alternatives are considered in accordance with the purpose (role) of the car, and the closest in terms of dimensions, technical characteristics, comfort, equipment, price positioning of the brand and model are selected. Crossovers are replacing sedans, but this is rather due to the weak supply in the sedan segment.
In the premium segment, the alternative is either Chinese premium or business class cars (see Hongqi, Voyah, EXEED, Aito) or parallel imports.
