The Ukrainian new passenger car market in 2014 amounted to 97,020 units, 2.2 times less than in 2013, according to the Ukrautoprom association.

"Thus, as predicted earlier, the level of the realized effective demand for new cars in the past year was the lowest since 2002," reads a post on the association’s website.

According to its data, the most popular automotive brand on the Ukrainian market in 2014 was Toyota, whose primary registration amounted to 10,296 cars (in particular, at the expense of car supply to the Interior Ministry for Kyoto Protocol funds), which was however 33% less than a year earlier.

The second most popular brand among Ukrainians was China's Geely - 9,365 cars, of which more than 7,000 cars were assembled in Ukraine (at Kremenchuk car plant, which was halted by the owners). The fall in the sale of these cars in 2013 was 43%.

ZAZ ranks third with the sale of 7,908 cars (55% less) and a share of 8%.

According to Ukrautoprom, Ukraine for the last month of the year sold 7,629 cars - 12% more than in November, but 55% less than in December 2013.
