In Russia, sales of used Chinese cars have increased by one and a half times

In Russia, over the 10 months of 2025, sales of used Chinese cars increased by 52% - up to one and a half times compared to last year. Cars like Haval Jolion, Chery Tiggo 7 and Geely Coolray have gained trust due to their quality and equipment.

The Russian car market continues to transform, and one of the most noticeable trends of 2025 was the sharp revival of the used Chinese passenger car segment. According to analysts, in the first ten months of the year, their resale volumes increased by 52% compared to the same period last year - almost one and a half times. This is not just statistics: behind it is a change in consumer attitudes, increased confidence in quality and a conscious choice in favor of practicality.

A few years ago, “Chinese” vehicles in the secondary market were perceived as temporary transport - cheap, but short-lived. Today everything is different. Cars like Haval Jolion, Chery Tiggo 7, Geely Coolray and Exeed LX, released in 2021-2023, confidently compete with used Koreans and Japanese. Their attractiveness is understandable: modern design, rich equipment, a guarantee of up to 5 years and, most importantly, stable build quality, confirmed by thousands of kilometers in real conditions.

Buyers are increasingly considering not only the price, but also the total cost of ownership. A used Chinese crossover 3-4 years old with a mileage of 50-70 thousand km can today be found for 1.3-1.7 million rubles - this is 20-30% cheaper than new models, but with the same set of technologies as new cars. At the same time, spare parts remain available, and service networks of brands remain developed even in the regions.

A special role was played by the fact that Chinese manufacturers did not reduce supplies in 2022-2023, unlike many Western competitors. This provided a sufficient number of “fresh” used cars on the market - without incorrect mileage and with a full service history.

The growth in sales of used Chinese cars is not a temporary surge, but the maturity of the segment. The consumer is no longer afraid of the “Chinese” - he chooses it consciously, as a reliable, technologically advanced and profitable companion. And this trend will most likely only intensify: after all, a good car does not get old - it just becomes more affordable.
