The Haval Jolion crossover took second place with a result of 7.1 thousand units and regained the title of the most popular model in the SUV segment. This is reported by Avtostat in a report received by Izvestia on November 5; the data is cited by Gazeta.Ru.

The top-ten lineup and dynamics

Tenet T7, September's leader among crossovers, dropped one place — 6.3 thousand units. Fourth place went to the Lada T4L crossover (6.1 thousand units). They are followed by the Lada Vesta family (5 thousand) and the Niva Travel off-roader (3.9 thousand). Rounding out the top ten are the Belgee X50+ (3.8 thousand), the Lada Iskra family (3.6 thousand), the Lada Niva Legend (3.4 thousand) and the Haval M6 (3 thousand). In terms of dynamics compared to October last year, the Haval M6 fell the most — down 52.2%, while the best result on a low base was shown by the Lada Iskra — a 5.6-fold increase. Over 10 months, the Iskra also leads in dynamics (a 37.6-fold increase), while the worst indicator belongs to the Lada Vesta — down 28.2%. Notably, four of the ten best-selling models of October are Lada brands, confirming the continued dominance of the domestic brand at the top of the sales rankings.

Context

Earlier, at the end of October, it was reported that certain car models had become cheaper in the second half of the month — thus, October sales took place against the backdrop of price reductions on a number of models.
