Median car price on Kufar Avto up 54.5% in five years, to $8500

Over the past five years, the median price of cars sold on Kufar Avto has risen by 54.5%: from $5500 in 2021 to $8500 in 2026. From 2021 to 2026, the number of listings on the platform more than doubled.

Kirill Moiseenko, an analyst at Kufar Tech, cited data by vehicle age. The median price of cars up to five years old rose by 64.2%, to $19800. Cars aged 6–10 years went up by 61.3%, to $14500, and those older than 10 years by 33.1%, to $6190.

According to him, in 2021 a car under five years old could be bought for $12 thousand, while the median price is now $19.8 thousand. Most listings, he notes, fall into the budget segment.

Supply has grown in all three price segments: low ($3 thousand to $10 thousand), middle (up to $20 thousand) and high (from $20 thousand). The platform's analysts say the rise is linked not only to prices but also to a change in the structure of the market.

In the budget segment there are almost 50% more listings, while the median price rose by 12.1%, from $4850 to $5435. Moiseenko notes that the segment's share of total supply has shrunk over five years, but in absolute terms there are more such cars.

In the middle segment, supply grew almost fivefold (+395.6%), sales by 132.4%, and the median price by only 7.1%, from $12698 to $13600.

The largest influx of listings was recorded in the high segment: growth of more than eightfold (+705.3%), with sales up 277.5%. The median price, however, fell by 4.3%, from $26121 to $24999.

Moiseenko says this does not mean cars have become cheaper across the board. According to him, five years ago the segment was formed mostly by premium "European" cars, but by 2026 it had expanded to include fresh crossovers from the US and Chinese brands. Their starting price is closer to the lower boundary of the segment, and they pulled the median down.

The experts give examples of the shifting model mix. In 2021, Passats made up a significant share of three-to-five-year-old Volkswagens; in 2026 the offer shifted towards more expensive crossovers, including the Taos. Peugeot's share of 3008 and 5008 models grew, as did Chevrolet's Equinox. Geely Coolray and Atlas Pro became a noticeable part of the supply.

In the experts' view, the rise in median prices is first and foremost due to a change in the assortment: the share of fresh, higher-class models has grown. The price of a car is now determined not only by its year of manufacture or brand, but also by model, origin, trim level and demand.

The number of sales in the budget segment fell by 9.2%. The experts believe this may point to growing competition between listings. A typical car here found a buyer in 11 days, against 12 days in 2021.

In the middle segment, the time to sell fell from 19 to 17 days, while in the high segment it rose from 14 to 20. That is 17.6% more than 17 days.

Moiseenko explains it this way: a high price tag combined with a wider choice makes the buyer take longer to weigh the decision and study trim levels, which lengthened the time to sell young cars.

Among popular cars aged 3–5 years, the biggest price rises were for Volkswagen (+97.7%, from $10545 to $20850), BMW (+75.8%, from $21900 to $38499), Kia (+69.2%, from $12999 to $22000), Renault (+55.1%), Chevrolet (+48.9%) and Ford (+48.1%).

The experts warn that Volkswagen's twofold rise does not mean the whole brand has become more expensive: it is a matter of a changed model mix.

The smallest increases were for Geely Atlas (+1.6%, from $15500 to $15750), Opel Astra (+8.3%), Peugeot 3008 (+11.5%), Buick Encore (+13.1%) and Kia Rio (+14.3%).

According to Moiseenko, in the expensive price zone used cars begin to compete directly on price with new ones.

Inflation in Belarus in 2025 was 6.6%, against 5.5% five years earlier, according to the World Bank. The same source gives GDP growth of 1.3% in 2025 and unemployment of 3.4%; the population shrank by 3% over five years. The IMF forecasts inflation falling to 5.1% in 2026 and 2027.

The total volume of the Belarusian car market in 2025 was 159000 cars, according to the results of the Avtopromservis company's dealer conference in May 2026.

In May 2026, the Belarusian Automobile Association reported that over four months citizens imported about 38 thousand used cars, almost twice the number of new cars sold by dealers.
