The analyst calculated the increase in car prices over five years in Russia

Over the past five years, new cars in Russia have almost doubled in price. This was announced on October 31 by Sergey Tselikov, director of the Autostat analytical agency, in his Telegram channel.

So, if at the beginning of 2021 the weighted average price of a passenger car was 1.8 million rubles, then by September 2025 it had increased to 3.34 million rubles.

As for used cars, according to the expert's calculations, they have risen in price even more than new ones. The average price of a used car in the Russian car market increased from 600 thousand rubles to 1.14 million rubles over the same period.

"Taking into account inflation and the upcoming increase in recycling, the price increase for new cars will continue. If the trend continues, the five—year dynamics may reach 100% by the beginning of next year," Tselikov concluded.

Not everything is so bad: car sales in Russia may grow by 15% in 2026

Earlier in the day, it was reported that, as First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov stated, after two stages of indexation of recycling in Russia, there was no dramatic increase in prices, which industry experts predicted. At the same time, the largest players, such as Rolf and Avilon, had an average price reduction of 4-4.7% over the period 2024-2025.
