This is 11.7% more than a year earlier, and their share in the total sales of passenger cars increased by 2.9 points, to 60.8%. We have compiled a rating of the best-selling models with automatic devices.

The statistics do not include sales of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mini and Smart - these manufacturers announce their sales results on a quarterly basis.

At the end of the month, the second generation SkodRapid was the fastest growing in sales of cars with automatic transmission: it was chosen by almost 2.5 times more customers than a year earlier, when the first generation car was sold. The aggregate sales of Rapids of two generations from January to July exceeded last year's result by 5.4%. Already now more than half of the cars sold are models of the new generation.

However, Rapid still has the lowest share of "two-pedal" modifications: less than 60% since the beginning of the year, but 14.7 points more than a year ago - a record increase in the rating. It can be expected that by the end of the year the share of versions with “automatic” in the total sales of the model will increase significantly.

Hyundai Solaris became the only "two-pedal" model in the rating, whose sales decreased: minus 6.2%, 3.4 thousand cars sold. At the end of the year, the "Korean" recorded an anti-record: the demand for it sank by almost a third, to 17.8 thousand cars.

From January to July, in addition to SkodRapid, ToyotRAV 4 came out "plus": almost 18 thousand people chose a crossover with an automatic transmission, plus 22.2%. In addition, it is the RAV 4 that is most often preferred with an “automatic” or variator: more than 92% of buyers chose them.

The LadVest family with two pedals (hit the top on July 15) was bought by 1,570 people (plus 78.2%) in a month, and 8804 people (plus 48.6%) since the beginning of the year. Their share increased to 16.8% (plus 7.6 points). The popularity of "automatic" Grant decreased by 15%, 833 cars were sold. Since the beginning of the year, the dynamics are even worse: minus 26.2%, 4525 cars. The share also decreased - to 7.4% (minus 0.8 points). Xray without a clutch pedal in July was bought by 281 customers (minus 23.2%), and since the beginning of the year - 2007 people (plus 71%). The share increased by a significant 11.9 points - up to 19.1%.

In total, 449.9 thousand new passenger cars with automatic transmission have been sold since the beginning of the year, which is 14.8% less than a year ago. They occupied 61.8% of the market (plus 3.1 points).
