The exact figure is 11,221 passenger cars (51% less than in March 2013). In addition, the indicators of March 2014 are 28% worse than the indicators of February of the same year. Analysts of leading car dealers predicted such results. The relatively "high" indicators of February were caused by the fact that people bought cars at the "old rate" fearing a sharp depreciation of the hryvnia.
In total, for three months of this year, sales figures are 22% lower than sales figures for the same period last year. The top three best-selling cars are ZAZ, Geely and Toyota.
Summary table of sales leaders:
| Brand | March 2014 | Market share | To February 2014 | To March 2013 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZAZ | 1441 | 13.2% | 41% | 2% |
| Geely | 1429 | 13.1% | -32% | -16% |
| Toyota | 1037 | 9% | 12% | -28% |
| Hyundai | 523 | 4.8% | -45% | -77% |
| Volkswagen | 508 | 4.6% | -39% | -64% |
