New car sales in Ukraine continue on their recovery, albeit with a more subdued 20.8% year-on-year gain in February to 5.867 registrations compared to +37.4% last month, leading to a year-to-date volume up 29.1% to 12.491 units. As it has been the case since December, February marks the highest score for the month in 4 years, since the 15.215 sales of February 2014. Both market leaders Volkswagen (+122%) and Toyota (+108%) vastly outpace the overall growth and more than double their deliveries year-on-year to end the month at 14.1% and 11.9% share respectively. Toyota leads year-to-date at 13.1% (+98%) above Volkswagen at 11.3% (+72%). Renault (+1%) and Nissan (+29%) follow while Ravon (+197%), Audi (+116%), Skoda (+46%) and Mazda (+33%) also post spectacular gains in the Top 10. Further down, notice Chery (+384%), Porsche (+100%), Citroen (+69%), Peugeot (+65%) and Mitsubishi (+45%) whereas ZAZ (-71%), BMW (-55%), Kia (-55%) and Fiat (-49%) lose the most ground.
