The Association of European Businesses (AEB) summarized new car sales in the Russian market in March 2022.
According to the results of the first month of spring, two Chinese crossovers, the Haval Jolion and Geely Tugella, entered the Top 25 of Russian car bestsellers.
The medium-sized and quite expensive Tugella (553 cars sold) is in 24th place, beating the Skoda Kodiaq by the way. And the compact Jolyon climbed even higher – in March the Russians bought 662 of these cars, which allowed the model to take 21st place, only a little less than the Renault Sandero.

By the way, according to the sales results for all three months of 2022, Haval Jolion already occupies the 18th position, as the only representative of the Celestial Empire in the Top 25 for the first quarter. This year, 3,629 Jolyons have already been sold, which is only slightly less than that of the Kia Seltos, one line higher (3,901 units).
According to the AEB, GWM Group, owner of the Haval and Great Wall brands, takes 3% of the Russian market. A little more than another Chinese giant, Chery Group (Chery and Cheryexeed brands) – 3.1%. Both brands are ahead of Mercedes-Benz (2.6%) and another company from China, Geely, which has 2%. That is more than, for example, Mazda (1.9%) and the entire Stellantis (1.0%), including Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Fiat, Chrysler and Jeep.
- By the way, Haval, Geely and Cheryexeed are three of the five brands that managed to increase sales in the Russian Federation against the background of a general recession.
