Sales of new passenger cars in Ukraine from January through June of this year declined by 1.9% compared to the same period in 2025, to 33,000 units, according to AUTO-Consulting.
Specifically, in June, this market contracted by 7.7% compared to June 2025 (when 6,217 thousand cars were sold).
“So far, the market has entered a downward trend, but AUTO-Consulting does not view this as a catastrophe. It’s worth noting that last year, starting in the summer, there was a boom in electric vehicle sales, as tax incentives were set to expire by the end of 2025, leading to heightened demand; now that such demand has subsided, we’re seeing a slight decline,” the group’s website states.
As noted in the statement, Toyota continues to lead the market, though its sales have declined slightly; Renault came in second, gaining momentum and expanding its model lineup, and surpassed Skoda. In June, Hyundai, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, and Peugeot also strengthened their positions.
The Renault Duster leads the model rankings, while the Toyota RAV4—awaiting deliveries of the new generation—did not make it into the top three. Instead, the Hyundai Tucson took second place, and the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado took third.
As reported, according to AUTO-Consulting, Ukrainians purchased 83,443 new passenger cars in 2025, which is 17% more than the previous year, with 33,770 cars sold in the first half of the year.
