Sales of new passenger cars in Ukraine in June increased by 23% compared to the same month last year – to 6,217 units, the Federation of Employers of Automotive Industry reports, citing data from Auto-Consulting.
"This allowed the car market to almost catch up with the results of the first half of 2024 (-0.95%) in six months and to offset the market decline at the beginning of the year and in the spring. The car market has finally entered a positive track," the union's website says.

Zeekr also increased its influence - now these Chinese electric cars are in seventh place on the Ukrainian market and are ahead of all premium brands in terms of sales.
"It was the import of electric cars from China that ensured Honda's eighth place in June, and contributed to the popularity of many other cars," the association reports, according to Auto-Consulting.
There is also a high demand for German premium cars. BMW is in the lead here (257 cars - 53% less than in June 2024), and next to it is Audi with 233 cars (+47%). Both German brands took 9th and 10th place in the Ukrainian market in June.
The association also cites Auto-Consulting statistics on sales of commercial vehicles, according to which in June they decreased by 9% to June 2024, amounting to 637 units, and in the first half of the year - by 4.6% to the same period last year, to 3,856 units.
Thus, in the overall market of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, the share of LCV in June was 9.3% (last year - 12.2%), and in half a year - 10.2% (10.6%).
