Demand for cars in Ukraine continues to change under the influence of economic factors, fuel costs, and the development of electrical infrastructure. Data from Ukravtoprom for November 2025 shows a significant shift in Ukrainians' preferences regarding engine types. Electric cars, which accounted for a negligible share of the market just a few years ago, are now almost as popular as cars with traditional engines.

Car sales in Ukraine in November 2025: what has changed

In November 2025, Ukrainians most often chose fully electric models. The structure of the new passenger car market looked like this:

● Electric cars — 38.5% of the market (last year — 12.8%);

● Gasoline cars — 28.5% (last year — 35.5%);

● Diesel cars — almost 17% (last year — 29%);

● Hybrids — 16% (last year — 22.5%);
