In April 2026, 3,900 used passenger cars imported from the United States were registered in Ukraine. This is 0.3% more than in the same month last year. This was reported by Ukravtoprom.

The average age of the imported cars was 6.5 years — a figure indicating stable demand for relatively new vehicles rather than older “American” cars.

What fuel did Ukrainians choose: gasoline leads, but electric vehicles already account for a quarter of the market

Among all cars from the U.S. registered in April, gasoline-powered vehicles accounted for the largest share — 55%. However, the share of alternative options is no less significant:

● electric vehicles — 24%;

● hybrids — 13%;

● diesel cars — 5%;

● cars with LPG systems — 3%.

One in four cars imported from the U.S. is electric. Together with hybrids, this accounts for nearly 37% of all imports, reflecting a clear trend toward the electrification of Ukraine’s vehicle fleet.

By the way, if you’ve recently purchased or are planning to register a new car, you should immediately get auto insurance — you can conveniently do this online via the Visit Ukraine platform without waiting in lines or wasting time.
