I believe only 2008 had more cars sold than this year in Russia. With a 39% increase, it was a buoyant year. This was the lowest market share for home brand car Lada apart from 2008. Among the ten best selling models, nine were locally produced so there is a strong car manufacturing industry here. Imported cars are quite highly taxed.
1 Lada 578,400 21.8%
