The Mazda CX-5 represents 92% of the brand’s volume in February.

New car sales in Russia edge up 2.5% year-on-year in February to 80,027 units. The year-to-date volume after two months is down -3.9% to 160,631. Local behemoth Lada (-22.5%) continues to skid and accounts for 23.8% of its home market vs. 31.5% a year ago in February 2025. Haval (+6.1%) remains the most popular foreign carmaker at #2 with 12.7% share, while local newcomer Tenet may have reached its full potential at 10.8% share vs. 11.1% last month. Tenet is a China-Russia joint venture which assembles rebadged Chery vehicles at the Kaluga plant, previously owned by Volkswagen. Belgee (+134.6%) surges ahead to a record 4th place above Geely (-8.6%). The surprise of the month is Mazda up 1852.8% to reach an all time high 6th place, smashing its previous best of #9 hit last month and in January 2021. Toyota (+102.4%), Solaris (+29%) and Jetour (+15%) also shine below.

Looking at the models charts, the Lada Granta (-23.4%) drops to 9.1% share vs. 12.2% a year ago. It is now followed by the new Tenet T7 (aka Chery Tiggo 7L), up to a record 2nd place only 6 months after its launch. The Haval Jolion (+15%) is knocked down to #3 ahead of the Belgee X50 (+191%), aka Geely Coolray, up to a record #4, also hit in August and September 2025. The Lada Niva Travel (+25.8%) shows excellent health at #5 above the new Tenet T4 (aka Chery Tiggo 4). The Lada Vesta (-62.8%) is in complete freefall at #7 while the Mazda CX-5 (+2769.7%) stuns at a record 8th place.
