by Let’s start with the results of January. Compared to last year, in 2021 there is a significant decline in the purchase of used cars. For example, even their import from abroad has fallen by almost 7%. Let’s figure out which used car brands Ukrainians preferred last year.
In the first place, as in previous reporting periods, remains Volkswagen. And this is despite the fact that in the same period of 2019, 15.6% more of such cars were imported. Among the most popular models are Golf and Passat.
Renault came close to the leader. The most demanded were Duster and Logan. It is noteworthy that the cost of such cars increased throughout the year, but this did not prevent car enthusiasts from purchasing more than 3439 cars of this brand.
Ford stood out as a leader of positive dynamics with a growth of 2.1%. However, only the Escape model began to gain popularity. No one says that Transit was not bought at all. The classic reliable minibuses don’t go out of trend.
Skoda didn’t lose much ground last year. Recall that the brand still belongs to the Volkswagen group today. So it’s not surprising that the Octavia RS 5 or Scout is popular.
What surprised market experts was a newcomer to the ranking – the Hyundai brand. Sales of Sonata and the newer Genesis increased by almost 23%. And this is against the backdrop of a general decline in demand for used vehicles. Apparently, car enthusiasts are increasingly preferring high-quality and reliable cars, despite their high cost. Interestingly, according to statistics, it was Volkswagen that took the leading positions last year in a rather unusual segment for Ukraine – gambling. Cars of this brand became super prizes in raffles at the most famous casinos in Monte Carlo. Perhaps this tradition should be adopted by Ukrainian online casinos. Very soon they will appear as stationary gambling houses. The law on the legalization of gambling has already been adopted, and the only thing left is to attract investors.
