At the same time, most brands saw a decline in sales compared to May last year. The sharpest drop was recorded by Volkswagen – down 38%.
The most popular model on the Ukrainian market in May was the Renault Duster compact crossover, which remains in high demand among buyers thanks to its combination of practicality and affordability.
Overall, the statistics indicate a cooling of demand for new cars in Ukraine following a more active start to the year. This may be linked both to the general economic situation and to consumers’ caution regarding major purchases.
As a reminder, Tesla has recently regained its leadership position in the global electric vehicle market.
