Uzbekistan’s automotive market has maintained overall stability in the first half of 2025, according to a new report from the Center for Economic Research and Reforms (CERR). Although the market faced a seasonal decline in consumer demand, a moderate recovery was recorded in June, particularly in the primary car segment.
Passenger vehicle sales rose by more than 3% in June compared to May, reaching 80,000 units. However, total sales for the first six months of the year stood at approximately 446,000 units, marking a 23% drop from the same period in 2024. The decline is mainly due to reduced activity in the secondary market, which traditionally represents the largest share of overall sales.
In contrast, the primary market showed stronger performance. New passenger car sales increased by over 10% month-on-month, totalling 2,600 units. Sales of domestically produced new cars reached 23,700 units, up 15.6% from May. Meanwhile, sales of new imported cars fell by 12.6%, amounting to around 4,000 units.
The secondary market remained relatively stable, with more than 52,000 used passenger vehicles sold in June — just 0.4% lower than in May. Year-on-year, this segment showed slight growth of 1.3%.
Electric vehicles continued their upward trajectory despite a slight month-on-month dip. In June, 5,100 electric passenger vehicles were sold, representing a 1.7% decrease compared to May. However, EV sales in the first half of 2025 reached 28,800 units — a significant 62.6% increase from the same period last year.
The strongest year-on-year growth in EV sales was observed in the Syrdarya, Khorezm and Kashkadarya regions.
Kursiv also reports that Chevrolet has published the prices for the updated 2026 Onix model on its Brazilian website.
