Renault Ukraine notes in its report that after a significant drop in sales due to the full-scale war, the market for new cars in Ukraine is gradually recovering, especially in the central and western regions of Ukraine, while in the eastern and southern regions it remains low due to the security situation.
In addition, interest in electric vehicles is growing due to “the absence of excise taxes and import duties, economy of use, and environmental trends,” but the charging station infrastructure is still underdeveloped, especially outside major cities.
“Many sales are accounted for by corporate fleets (company transport, logistics, taxis, car sharing), rather than private individuals,” the company states, characterizing the market.
Renault Ukraine also notes that due to inflation, currency fluctuations, and logistics costs, prices for new cars have risen significantly, reducing the share of buyers who can afford a new car without financing.
“Demand for new cars is still quite limited, and a significant share of the market belongs to used cars. This creates competitive pressure on the new vehicle segment,” the document says.
The importer Renault Ukraine was founded in 2005 as a subsidiary of the French company Renault SAS, which is part of the Renault Group.
As reported, in 2024, Renault ranked second in the sales of new passenger cars in Ukraine after Toyota, increasing sales in the dealer network by 22.6% to 7,145 units and its market share by 1.06 percentage points to 10.02%.
