According to Avtostat, a respected Russian automotive research firm, the market picture for November shifted as a Chinese crossover moved ahead of the long-standing favorite, the Lada Niva Legend. Avtostat’s analysis differs from some other statistics by including Chery sales and by treating the two models of the Niva lineage as distinct products, which offers a clearer view of consumer preferences in the SUV segment.
In the latest figures, 3,192 units of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro were sold, while 2,824 buyers took home a Niva Legend. At the same time, the Niva Travel, represented by the Grant pickup lineup in the catalog, remained the top model in the broader Niva family, with 3,308 vehicles sold by Lada dealerships. This placement shows a dynamic shift in popular demand, with the Chinese model carving out a notable position in a market traditionally dominated by Russian brands (Autostat).

The statement underscores a broader operational priority that extends beyond sales numbers. Without steady supply chains and reliable resources, essential services cannot function effectively. Public order, medical response, and everyday mobility hinge on a consistent fleet of vehicles in active service.
In a collaborative effort with the Popular Front, funds are being raised to equip law enforcement and allied services with tires for vehicles used by the People’s Police and the operational units of the LPR and DPR. The goal is to ensure ambulances, emergency response units, humanitarian aid convoys, and military equipment retain dependable mobility in challenging conditions.

This program reflects a broader concern for fleet readiness and the practical needs of frontline services, particularly in regions facing heightened demand for rapid transportation and logistics support. The effort demonstrates how public partnerships can translate viewer interest into tangible, on-the-ground assistance.
