During the week of September 19 through 25, Moscow saw a surprising trend in the car market. According to Avtostat, a Chinese crossover dominated the sales charts, with the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro taking the top spot in the city. A total of 251 units of this model were registered in Moscow in that seven-day period, underscoring a strong appetite for Chinese crossovers in the Russian capital.
Following closely behind was another Chinese model, the Haval Jolion, which moved 143 units in the same week. The domestic stalwart Lada Granta also appeared in the top three, with 78 cars sold, highlighting a diverse mix of preferences among Moscow buyers that week.
Rounding out the top five were two Geely models. The Coolray crossover logged 67 sales, while the Atlas Pro posted 59, cementing Geely’s presence in Moscow’s competitive SUV segment.
These results reflect a sustained trend, as Chinese vehicles have led Moscow’s sales for nine consecutive weeks. When the tally for week 29 came in, Lada Vesta briefly topped the chart, but the ensuing period quickly returned to a lineup dominated by Chinese crossovers: Chery Tiggo 7 Pro, Haval Jolion, and Geely Coolray occupying the leading positions again.
Market observers note that the Tiggo 7 Pro represents the second generation of the model. It first reached the Russian market in September 2020 and is now expected to be refreshed under the Tiggo 7 Plus branding, signaling ongoing product updates to meet evolving consumer tastes in Russia and surrounding markets.
In Moscow, consumer interest in compact crossovers continues to grow, with a pattern that balances value, features, and brand appeal. The Tiggo 7 Pro’s strong week demonstrates how updates and a competitive price point can translate into higher local demand, while the Jolion, Coolray, and Atlas Pro illustrate the broad appeal of Chinese brands within the city’s diverse vehicle landscape. The persistence of Lada Granta and Lada’s steady performance remind readers that domestic models still hold a significant share of the market, particularly among buyers prioritizing practicality and familiar service networks. The weekly data from Avtostat thus paints a picture of a bustling, price-conscious Moscow market where crossovers—especially those from China—play a pivotal role in shaping consumer choice.
