The rating of cars for a certain period is not only a race between manufacturers, but also an indicator of how successful a particular car was. As a rule, a car rating is formed for a certain period and according to certain criteria. In this case, the formation was based on the statistics of producers, both domestic and foreign. Domestic Lada turned out to be the most popular car brand in Russia. Only four models made it into the top ten. Another model, Lada Xray, took 17th place in the TOP-25 rating.
1. Lada Granta 2021
Despite the coronavirus pandemic and the fact that many manufacturers are losing money, relatively inexpensive brands are still in the red. One such example is the new Lada Granta, which took first place in the ranking. According to statistics for the first nine months of 2021, 90 units of this model were sold in Russia. Compared to the same period of the previous year 986 (2020 vehicles were sold), sales results increased by 84410%.
The difference in numbers is not as big as other models in the ranking. However, the number of units sold is the highest. There is no information about the body style in which the Lada Granta was sold (station wagon, liftback, hatchback or sedan). However, according to unofficial information, sedan and hatchback are the most common. The starting price of the Lada Granta sedan starts at 559900 rubles, the liftback - from 581900 rubles, the hatchback - from 613500 rubles and the station wagon - from 588900 rubles.

2. New Lada Vesta
The second position in the ranking is also occupied by a domestic car - Lada Vesta. In the first nine months of 2021, they sold 82860 units, up 14% from the same period in 2020 (72464 vehicles in total).

The easiest option is the Lada Vesta sedan, with a starting price of 795900 rubles. The Vesta SW station wagon will be more expensive - from 892900 rubles. The Lada Vesta sedan in the Cross version will cost from 943900 rubles, and the Cross station wagon - from 1007900 rubles.

A manual or automatic transmission will work in tandem. The exception will be Lada Vesta Sport, where the engine capacity is 1,8 liters paired with a manual transmission.
3. Compact Kia Rio
Surprisingly, the compact Kia Rio 25 closes the top three of the TOP 2021. According to the rating, sales growth for 9 months was 8%, which is as much as 63220 units.

In tandem, a manual or automatic transmission can go.
4. Crossover Hyundai Creta 2021
The drop in Hyundai Creta sales has been felt since the beginning of the year, dropping out of the TOP-25 leaders almost immediately. Moreover, the prolonged arrival of the updated version of the crossover in Russia also affected sales. According to the available rating data, 2021 cars of this model were sold in the nine months of 53399. Sales growth was only 2%, but it was enough to keep the 4th place in the ranking (2020 units were sold during the same period in 5).

The new crossover in the Russian Federation is available with front or all-wheel drive, manual or automatic transmission and two units.
