OREANDA-NEWS. January 29, 2016. According to the analytic agency "AUTOSTAT", at the end of 2015 the market volume of cars of segment Luxury in Russia was 1157 units. It is 2.3 times more than in 2014 (504 units).

It is worth noting that such high growth was provided by the launch to the market of only one new model - Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class, which has replaced the departed into the history luxury brand Maybach. For example, last year the owners of Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class became 692 residents of Russia, which corresponds to the share of 60% of the total car market segment of Luxury.

But even without the Mercedes-Benz Maybach, sales of luxury cars in the crisis are better than mass brands. For example, in 2015 the number of new Rolls-Royce on our roads has increased by 22.2% to 143 cars, and Bentley declined, but only slightly, by only 7.6% (up to 208 units). It was the stronger fall at Maserati (-18,2% to 77 units). Also in the last year in the Russian roads there were appeared 20 new Ferrari, 19 - Lamborghini and 3 - Aston Martin.

As the director of the analytic agency "AUTOSTAT", Sergei Tselikov, more than 70% of cars of luxury brands are sold in the Moscow region.
