Popular Used Cars Among Gen Z Listed in Russia 07.07.2026

Rinas Uteshev, Marketing Director at Rolf, has revealed the specific preferences of Russian drivers aged 18 to 25 in the used car market. Young buyers look for a combination of price, liquidity, and attractive design, viewing a car as an element of their personal image. Among the most in-demand models are the BMW 3 Series, Kia Rio, Hyundai Solaris, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Polo, Skoda Octavia, and Toyota Camry. Statistics show that young people account for 69.5% of sales, with the average vehicle cost standing at 1.59 million rubles. A gender divide is observed: men prefer driver-oriented models, such as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, while women choose practical options, including the Hyundai Solaris or Chinese crossovers like the Geely Coolray and Omoda C5. Experts note a growing demand for Chinese automobiles due to their striking design and modern features.
