Sales of cars from the manufacturer that left Russia surprised

From January to September 2026, 21,218 new Mazda cars were registered in Russia. This is six times (512 percent) higher than the same period last year. Then 3,465 cars of the brand received registration. Analyst Sergei Tselikov provided such data in his Telegram channel.

More than 90 percent of demand was for the Mazda CX-5 crossover - 19,631 vehicles. This was facilitated by the affordable price of the model, which was made possible thanks to preferential recycling fees and Chinese production.

The expert recalled that all Mazda cars are brought to Russia through alternative import schemes. There are no official deliveries. “However, there is a service network support and spare parts supply. For this purpose, a special brand MZD was created, which is promoted through the official website of the Japanese brand,” Tselikov said.
