Since the beginning of the year, more than 36 thousand cars have been sold under state programs.

In the first quarter of 2025, over 36,000 vehicles were sold under demand incentive programs (preferential car loans and preferential leasing). This was reported to Izvestia on April 22 by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The ministry clarified that more than 25.3 thousand cars were sold under the preferential car loan program, and more than 10.7 thousand cars were sold under the preferential leasing program. The majority of vehicles sold under both programs were AvtoVAZ models: in the first quarter, 28.8 thousand Lada brand vehicles were sold under the preferential car loan or leasing program.

The preferential car loan program provides for a 20% discount (in the Far Eastern Federal District -25%) on the cost of a car with a Russian-made internal combustion engine and a 35% discount on the price of a domestic electric car or hybrid. Teachers, doctors, SVO participants and their family members can take advantage of this program.
