USSR 1980-1986: Lada 2106 and Moskvich 2140 likely leaders

Lada 2106

USSR new vehicle sales reach 1.035.663 units in 1985, the last time above 1 million until 8 years later in 1993. In 1986 the market drops 3.9% to 994.805. Lada launches the 2105 in 1979, basically a restyled 2101. The traditional Deluxe version, named 2107, is added in 1982 and the Station Wagon, 2104, appears in 1984. More info on the Lada 2105 series here. However the 2106, launched in 1975, should still be the brand’s best-seller in the country over the period…

Moskvich 2140

…potentially overtaken in the overall ranking by the Moskvich 2140, facelifted in 1981, during some years. If you have access to official models data for the period please make sure you get in touch by commenting on here or filling up the ‘Contact’ form.
