Increase in BELGEE sales in Russia during July - statistical data
Belgee Car Sales in Russia Soar with the Launch of the Geely EX5
In a notable development for the Russian automotive market, Belgee car sales have experienced a significant surge, with the brand securing the sixth spot in new passenger car sales in July 2025. This impressive growth represents a 75.2% year-over-year increase, making Belgee one of the few brands bucking the general trend of a shrinking market.
The driving force behind this growth can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of Belgee's presence and strong consumer demand. Since the production of Belgee cars commenced in Belarus in 2023, the total production has seen a tenfold increase, with 64,436 cars produced in 2024, compared to just 5,133 units in 2023 [1].
In 2024, Belgee became one of the top ten best-selling car brands in Russia, selling 34,637 cars, marking a nearly 30-fold rise compared to 2023 [1].
As for the new models, the Belgee-Geely EX5 has recently been launched, contributing to this sales growth. Although detailed sales figures specific to this model are not explicitly provided, it's clear that the EX5 has made an impact. The Belgee lineup in Russia currently features two crossover models, the X50 and X70, which accounted for most sales in 2024 (30,632 units for X50 and 4,005 for X70) [1].
The EX5, the first model to be assembled at the BELGEE plant, boasts a Belarusian VIN code and is equipped with a BEV 60 kWh 2WD engine, offering a power output of 218 horsepower. The vehicle also features three driving modes: Eco, Comfort, and Sport. Moreover, the EX5 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and has a battery capacity of 60.2 kWh, with a claimed range of up to 430 km [3].
The EX5 is also designed with fast charging in mind, featuring a CCS Combo 2 port that can increase the energy reserve from 30% to 80% in approximately 20 minutes [2].
With the growing dealer network, 128 official Belgee dealerships are now operational in 66 Russian cities, facilitating market penetration [1]. This expansion, combined with the introduction of new models like the EX5, is reflective of increased consumer acceptance in a challenging automotive market in Russia.
Furthermore, the cross-border activity and market interest are evident, with Geely (which is connected with Belgee) exporting 6,147 vehicles to Russia in June 2025, while Belgee exported 4,071 vehicles [5].
In the broader context, Belgee's rapid production scale-up and growing sales in Russia are a testament to the brand's resilience and adaptability in the ever-evolving automotive landscape.
