Ukrainians are actively replenishing their car fleets with vehicles from the United States, and import rates are steadily increasing. In November alone, approximately 5,500 used passenger cars were imported into Ukraine from the United States, which is more than twice the number imported during the same period last year. These figures were provided by Ukravtoprom.

Which cars are imported most often

The average age of imported cars is about 5 years, which means that relatively new vehicles with good technical resources are entering the market. The distribution by engine type is also interesting:

— electric cars — 53%,

— petrol — 34%,

— hybrids — 8%,

— diesel — 3%,

— cars with LPG systems — 2%.

Ukraine continues to move confidently towards electric cars, which is facilitated by fuel savings, favourable import conditions, and interest in modern technologies.

TOP 5 most popular used cars from the USA

The leaders among ‘Americans’ imported to Ukraine are:

• Tesla Model Y — 907 units

The most popular electric crossover, combining range, technology and modern design. Often chosen by families and active drivers.

• Tesla Model 3 — 837 units

The bestseller among electric sedans. Compact, dynamic and relatively affordable in terms of restoration costs, it has become a symbol of affordable ‘electricity’.

• Ford Escape — 355 units.

A practical crossover with a good reputation for reliability and service. It appeals to those who need a versatile car for everyday use.

• Tesla Model S — 258 units.

The flagship of the secondary market: powerful, prestigious and yet significantly cheaper than a new one. It is chosen by those who want maximum comfort and technology.

• Nissan Rogue — 258 units.

One of the most popular crossovers in the United States, which has also become very popular in Ukraine. Reliable, economical and convenient for city and long-distance travel.

Keep in mind: regardless of the type and brand of car you choose — electric, gasoline, or diesel — drivers in Ukraine are still required to have compulsory motor insurance (MTPL). You can get motor insurance quickly and online at Visit Ukraine, without lengthy checks and queues.

Reminder! The state has launched a new support mechanism for defenders of Ukraine — now combatants and people with disabilities as a result of the war can get a refund for the cost of their motor insurance policy directly through the Diya app. No queues, paper certificates or complicated procedures — the entire application process takes place online, and the money is credited to your card. Find out who is eligible for compensation, what conditions must be met and how to apply step by step.
