Bashkortostan took the fifth place in the rating of Russian regions in terms of the new cars market for the six months of 2014. Such data are given by analytical agency "Autostat".

Overall, the new cars market during the reporting period reached 1109.8 thousand vehicles in Russia, which is by 8.9 percent less than the previous year (1218.8 thousand).

The capital and its suburbs share in the total market constituted 23.5 percent of the market for six months.
