In October 2023, Russian sales of Chery vehicles reached 10.9 thousand units, according to the analytics firm Avtostat. The figure marks a 2.8-fold rise compared with the same month a year earlier, underscoring a notable upturn in demand for the Chinese brand in the Russian market.
Among Chery models, the Tiggo 4 Pro crossover led the lineup in October with 3,712 registrations. Close behind, the Tiggo 7 Pro Max recorded 3,708 sales, securing the second spot in popularity for the month. The all‑wheel‑drive, seven‑seat Tiggo 8 Pro Max also ranked highly, with 1,275 buyers choosing it, placing it among the top three most popular Chery models in Russia for October.
Looking ahead, official statements indicate that a hybrid version of Arrizo 8, along with the Arrizo 9 sedan and the Tiggo 9 crossover, are planned to enter the Russian market by mid‑2024, suggesting a continued broadening of Chery’s product lineup in the region.
In the broader context of used-car activity, data for the third quarter of 2023 identified Geely Monjaro as the most popular Chinese crossover in Russia’s secondary market. Following it was the Chery Tiggo (T11) in second place. Lifan Solano took third, Geely Coolray fourth, and Lifan X60 completed the top five. These rankings reflect ongoing consumer interest in affordable, feature-rich models from Chinese brands in the used-car segment.
Additionally, the top ten second-hand models cited Geely Emgrand EC7, Changan UNI-K, Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, Chery Amulet (A15), and Zeekr 001 as strong performers, illustrating a diverse mix of sedans, crossovers, and electrified offerings that attract buyers in the secondary market.
Earlier reports noted that AvtoVAZ could begin production of Chery-brand vehicles, signaling potential collaboration or production reallocation that might influence supply dynamics and local market pricing in the near term.
