● Top 5 brands in June: Chevrolet, Hyundai, Changan, Chery and Haval

According to the Kazakhstan Automobile Union (KAU), official dealers sold 21,861 new passenger and commercial vehicles in June 2026, up 12.5% from June last year (19,426 units). Sales for the first half of the year totaled 105,886 vehicles, nearly matching the record result for the same period last year (+0.9%; 104,953 units).

Despite slower market growth after two record years, demand for new vehicles remains consistently high. At the same time, competition among brands is becoming noticeably more intense, while new players continue to strengthen their positions across virtually all segments.

Anar MAKASHEVA, President of QAO: “Kazakhstan’s automotive market continues to expand its potential. Although total sales volumes are virtually unchanged, major shifts are taking place within the market: competition is intensifying, and buyers are becoming more demanding in terms of price, technology and service quality. Today, the market is demonstrating not only scale, but also the ability to adapt quickly to customer needs.”
