By the end of 2025, the number of showrooms for Chinese car brands in Russia decreased by 1.4 times compared to 2024, with 643 showrooms closing over the year, according to a study by "AutoBusinessReview" cited by "Kommersant".

However, 459 new showrooms were opened during the same period, a figure three times lower than in 2024.

The share of Chinese brand sales outlets fell from 67% to 64%, with their total number decreasing by 7% to 2,600 showrooms.

Market experts noted that one in four showrooms in Russia was either closed or rebranded. Dealers opted to focus on new Russian brands rather than investing in Chinese ones.
