Despite the war and economic challenges, Ukrainians actively buy expensive cars. While affordable and economical models prevail in Europe, in Ukraine, more and more people are buying crossovers, business sedans, and even premium cars.
What are people buying in 2024? In Europe, the most popular models are:
✔️ Dacia Sandero
✔️ Renault Clio
✔️ Volkswagen Golf
Renault Duster leads in Ukraine (partly due to government purchases), as well as Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5. The top selling electric car is Volkswagen ID.4.
Why is this happening?
✅ Ukrainians prefer crossovers due to road conditions
✅ Some buyers invest in reliable transportation due to economic instability
✅ High interest rates force people to buy cars with their own money, and if they are going to buy, then it’s better.
