Including 72,287 LADA Granta (+ 42.8% to the first half of 2020), 57,031 LADA Vesta (+ 17.4% to the first half of 2020), 26,702 LADA Largus (+38, 7% by 2020) and 30,317 cars of the Niva family (+ 55.4% compared to the first half of 2020, including Niva cars produced by OJSC LADA West Togliatti).
More than 25% of the total volume of LADA sales fell on corporate sales.

LADA Granta became the bestseller among corporate sales: 13,882 vehicles were sold in the first half of the year (+ 34% compared to the same period in 2020). The second place is taken by LADA Largus with the result of 13 554 vehicles (+ 48%). 10,332 (+ 46%) LADA Vesta cars were sold, including 984 dual-fuel LADA Vesta CNG cars. The result of sales of the Niva family - 10 843 cars (+ 66%, including Niva cars produced by OJSC “LADA West Togliatti”).
“The overall growth in car sales in the Russian market in the first half of the year is 37% compared to the first half of 2020. For the remainder of the year, sales will be highly dependent on supply capabilities due to the current global shortage of electronic components. We also see some uncertainty about consumer demand in Q4, in which we would welcome renewed government support measures. In general, we believe that the results of the year may be even higher than the projected growth of 10% relative to 2020 - the market may exceed 1.8 million vehicles, ”said Nicolas Mor, President of AVTOVAZ JSC.
