Once again the performance of the month is delivered by local assembler Tenet, up two spots on October to #3 at just under 10,000 sales. An exceptional performance for a brand that launched last August. Tenet is a China-Russia joint venture which assembles rebadged Chery vehicles at the Kaluga plant, previously owned by Volkswagen. Belgee (+163%) soars to #5, with Solaris (+197.2%) and Toyota (+109.4%) also signing fantastic lifts. Chery (-71.4%) freefalls as a result of the Tenet’s arrival while Jetour (-14.4%) is back inside the Top 10.
Model-wise, the Lada Granta (-18.7%) freefalls year-on-year but is back above 10% share at 10.2% The Haval Jolion (+11.7%) ranks #2 for the 4th month in a row but is stuck in third place year-to-date below the Lada Vesta (-39.4%) at #3 for the month. The new Tenet T4 (Chery Tiggo 4) is up three spots on last month to #4 while the Tenet T7 (Chery Tiggo 7L) is up five to #5. The Belgee X70 (+210.9%) remains the brand’s best-seller with the Belgee X50 (+71.7%), Geely Monjaro (+35.7%) and Haval M6 (+20.4%) also in great shape. The Lada Niva Legend (-24.4%) closes the Top 10.
