Rapid restructuring of domestic automotive assembly plants to meet the needs of Kazakhstan’s consumers and the saturation of the domestic market amid a shortage of Russian-made cars were the main drivers of sales growth.
In July, Chevrolet, Hyundai, and Kia became the most popular car brands.
According to LMC Automotive, a leading provider of automotive forecasting in sales and production, sales of new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles worldwide reached 6.9 million units in July, up 5.8 percent in a year.
