Experts at Avtostat Info have published a focused review of popular Japanese crossovers and SUVs in the segment commonly classified as SUVs, analyzing mileage and popularity on the Russian used-car market. The compilation relies on the latest statistics of repeated registrations recorded in April 2022, offering a clear snapshot of consumer preferences and market momentum at that time. The analysis helps readers understand which models stood out in terms of demand, reliability, and overall value within the Russian automotive scene.
Leading the rankings is the Toyota Land Cruiser SUV, with a total of 3,070 units resold. Right behind it sits another Toyota model, the RAV4, which logged 2,614 sales in the same period. Close behind, the Nissan X-Trail recorded 2,211 resold units, rounding out the top three and underscoring Toyota’s enduring popularity in this category as well as Nissan’s strong showing in the mid-size crossover segment.
In fourth and fifth places, the Nissan Qashqai and Mitsubishi Outlander captured buyer interest, with 1,972 and 1,676 units sold respectively. These figures reflect a broad appeal for compact-to-mid-size crossovers among Russian buyers looking for practicality, comfortable interiors, and proven performance in varying road conditions.
Within the top 10, several other familiar names appear, including the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 with 1,464 units, the Honda CR-V with 1,407 units, the Lexus RX with 1,386 units, the Subaru Forester at 1,184 units, and the Suzuki Grand Vitara with 999 units. This mix demonstrates the diverse preferences of buyers who value a blend of rugged capability, comfort, and brand perception when choosing a used crossover in Russia.
Overall, the market recorded 89,891 used crossovers sold across Russia in April of the reported year. Alongside these volumes, price trends moved upward, with used-car price lists rising by an average of 20 to 30 percent since the end of February 2022. These shifts reflect broader market dynamics, including inflationary pressures, supply constraints in new-car inventories, and sustained demand from buyers seeking reliable, versatile vehicles for daily driving and longer trips alike.
A visual overview from Toyota highlights how these popular models contributed to the broader landscape of used crossovers during the period under review. The patterns observed in April offer a baseline for comparing subsequent months and for understanding how preference shifts might occur as market conditions evolve in Russia and in neighboring regions.
