In October, Ukrainians purchased 1,205 passenger cars (new and used) imported from China, which is 61% less than the figure for October of last year, according to a report by “Ukravtoprom” on its Telegram channel.
The majority of cars purchased last month were new passenger cars—823 units, which is 67% less than in October 2025, while 382 used cars were purchased—a 37% decrease.
Most of the passenger cars from China were electric vehicles—44% (in August 2026, the share was 57%).
The most popular new car models were the BYD Sea Lion 06 (115 units), the Great Wall Wingle 7 (66 units), the Zeekr 7X (42 units), the Zeekr 8X (39 units), and the Chery Tiggo 4 (34 units).
Among used cars, the most frequently purchased models were the Volkswagen ID.Unyx—57 units; the BYD Sea Lion 06—23 units; the BYD Tang L—19 units; the BYD Song L—19 units; and the Zeekr 7X—19 units.
As previously reported, according to data from the State Customs Service, in 2025 China became one of the top three suppliers of passenger cars to Ukraine—behind only the U.S. and Germany—thanks to electric vehicles; its share of total passenger car imports stood at 16.4% (more than $1 billion).
At the same time, based on the results for January–September of this year, China is no longer among the top three exporters of these vehicles to Ukraine, a list led by the United States.
