Troika leaders
He heads the "off-road" rating of a permanent leader of recent years Hyundai Creta with a result of 73,537 sold cars, which is 2,050 units (+ 2.87%) than in the previous year. The crossover "number one" of the Russian Creta market has become in just a few months of its debut year (sales started in the summer of 2016) and since then it turns out to be a bestseller segment annually. In April 2020 CD-crossover Creta was updated, and in July he became not only the most popular SUV, but also the most purchased foreign car market. In the coming season, 2021 is expected to enter the Russian market of the second generation of the model.
On the second place of our National SUV rating this year, with the sixth line of last year's list of popularity, Toyota RAV4 took off.
In its mid-sized segment, he is the first. And the very first among all SUV globally - no on our planet Crossover is more popular. 2020 - debut with us for a completely new model execution (receiving orders started in the fall of 2019, sales started in winter), which spurred demand. For the first full year of sales of the RAV4 of the fifth generation, 36,433 people acquired - 5 806 more than last year its predecessor - an increase of + 18.95%.
Closes the top three leaders of Volkswagen Tiguan with an excavated circulation of 32,982 cars. Although it is 4,260 units in less than last year (-11.44%), but it turned out to be quite sufficient to keep the third line in the ranking. In April 2020 Tiguan rose to the first place in the SUV segment, in August was the second. Now in Russia the sale of an updated version of the most popular crossover in Europe. We have our local assembly. In total, over a quarter of a million Tiguanov, in the Russian plant in Kaluga, has already been produced in the Russian factory.
Golden middle
In the fourth place of the Russian rating, SUV Renault Duster, descended over the year into two lines and lost 7,391 fans (drop -18.94%). Result 2020 - 31,640 pcs. Total for its eight-year-old presence in the Russian DUSTER market we have bought about 440 thousand people. In 2021, this figure will start to increase the new, second generation of the model - the start of sales is nearing, and consumer owners are already actively interested in the contents of the novelties.
The fifth, as well as a year earlier, is the only real SUV in the Russian Top 10 SUV Lada 4x4. It acquired 29,089 nivodes - by 2,834 people less than in the 2019 season (decrease - 8.88%). Season 2021This The unique compact SUV begins under its historical name NIVA, the full name model is now Lada Niva Legend.
At the sixth line with the fourth, Kia Sportage, which in 2020 acquired 28 190 Russians. In 2019, the result was 6,180 cars higher (decline in the year -17.98%). KIA is the most popular Inem of the Russian market for 7 years in a row. Sportage - Brand Vice-Bestseller in Russia and the most-selling KIA model around the world (in 2020, 366,929 copies were implemented).
The seventh position with the ninth line rose in the Nissan Qashqai ranking, although sales and decreased compared to the previous year. In 2020, 22,110 cars of this model were sold - by 3,048 units. Less (-12.12%) than last year. Curiously, but this crossover in February was published in the leaders of the capital's sales of the entire market for new passenger cars. In the fall, Qashqai updated a little and noticeably (+ 20%) added in sales no longer only in the capital. The result of the year - 7th place in the "dozen strongest SUV" and 17th place in the communal top-25 Russian car market.
Closing dozens of strongest
Starting from the previous rating model is only 3 cars and sales results of 22,107. Eighth place in the top 10 SUV took Hyundai Tucson. A very good result - a year ago he served only 12th place in the ranking and was not in the "top ten". And a decline in annual sales in this model compared with classmates insignificant - 646 cars (-2.84%). In the top ten of the most popular crossovers and SUVs of the Russian market, this is the second representative of the Hyundai family, which, according to the results of the season 2020, according to the manufacturer, takes 64% of the Russian SUV market, that is, the designer leads.
The penultimate in the top 10 Skoda Kodiaq, for the year I improved my position per line in the SUV rating and two points in the general rating. In 2020, Kodiaq acquired 20,578 buyers - at 4,491 cars less than in 2019 (decline in sales -17.91%).
And it closes the off-road ten 2020 Renault Kaptur with the outcome of the annual sales of 20,284 auto and the negative increase in -21.38% at 5,515 lost fans. The biggest minus in the TOP-10 and the drop in 2 lines in the ranking can be explained by the update of the model that happened from us on the outcome of spring - in its aggregate component Kaptur approached its ARKANA single-factor, which, despite his hopes, only three times flashed In general power Top-25, never shutting down in the TOP-10 SUV. It seems that both are not very interesting to our Russian motorist with their turboryators. However, it is only an assumption.
So, a newcomer appeared in the top ten - Hyundai Tucson, all the others have changed only more or less. And who is an outsider who left the top 10 most popular SUV of the Russian market? This is a representative of the Russian auto industry Lada Xray, which has completed the year on the 24th line of a total rating with a minus year to one third of its sales (-33.42%) at 19,286 cars sold in 2020 and loss of 9,681 buyers.
Surprises Final season 2020
If you try to predict, what changes will occur in the SUV rating in the coming season, then you need to take care of the trends at the end of the year more closely, and pay attention to December sales. And they are quite significantly different from the rating that has established for the previous months.
The only invariable position is observed at Hyundai Creta - this conact crossover is still unconditional segment leader. Above annual results are Renault Duster, Hyundai Tucson and Skoda Kodiaq. And the off-road component of mixed SUV-Wrapp has noticeably increased - the UAZ Patriot and Niva and Niva returned to the top 10 SUV (the one, which in 2020 finally died from Chevrolet and now goes under the sails LADA). Moreover, they returned very and very convincing - on 4 and 5 positions.
But the most, perhaps, unexpected, is the appearance of the most purchased SUV Russian car market of the premium model. BMW X5 has become the sensation of December, the preference to which 2,380 Russian motorists gave the last month in the last month - at 5 (!) Once larger than in December 2019. With such an amazing result, Bavarian Bavarian Bestseller took 11th place in the Russian rating of SUV and 21st place in the Russian Rating.
Are these designated trends or only the final chords in time unprincipled in AEB reports? Maybe not something, not the other, but in any case the year that began promises to be quite interesting in the sector of crossovers and SUVs - changes are inevitable.
