ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 12. The Kazakhstan Automobile Union has published the dynamics of car prices in the country, Trend reports.
As per the insights from the Automobile Union, the price
trajectory of new passenger vehicles at authorized dealerships in
Kazakhstan has exhibited a consistent equilibrium over the
preceding four-year period post-pandemic.
Price adjustments transpired in a targeted manner as a result of
escalating logistics expenditures, currency volatility, and the
shift towards novel configurations or alterations. Presented herein
are the empirical data delineating the fluctuations in pricing
structures for newly acquired passenger vehicles from authorized
dealerships (inclusive of both imported and locally manufactured
units) within the jurisdiction of Kazakhstan:
In January 2025 compared to January 2024, prices increased by only 1.3 percent;
In June 2025 compared to June 2024, the increase was 9.6 percent;
In July 2025 compared to July 2024, the increase was 9.5 percent;
There was no change in prices between June and July 2025.
"In other words, prices for new cars from official players remained stable, without sharp jumps. According to the Kazakhstan Automobile Union, the average price of new passenger cars for January-June 2024 was 16 million tenge ($28,800). For the same period this year, it increased by just 0.2 percent, reaching 16.1 million tenge ($28,980)," the report notes.
For the third year in a row, record sales of new cars are being recorded in the market. This is happening due to several objective reasons:
Numerous preferential programs and tools offered by official market players that attract consumers. A qualitative increase in supply, with a broader range of both locally produced and imported vehicles. A concerted effort to curb price growth, as all market players understand that affordability encourages tens of thousands of Kazakhstani citizens to buy new cars.
Furthermore, in the context of valuation dynamics within the
pre-owned automotive sector, it is evident that regulatory entities
and ancillary stakeholders in the automotive ecosystem exert no
discernible impact on pricing mechanisms. Kazakhstan boasts a
robust secondary market ecosystem wherein valuation dynamics are
autonomously dictated by the citizenry, thereby ensuring that the
prerogative of vehicle proprietors remains unencumbered by external
constraints.
The reported metrics indicating an 11.6 percent aggregate
escalation in automotive pricing and a 21.3 percent uptick in new
vehicle costs were derived from stochastic sampling methodologies,
which fail to deliver an unbiased representation of the passenger
automobile sector in Kazakhstan and do not align with empirical
reality.
The Kazakhstan Automobile Union believes that official data should be used, as this would help avoid misleading the general public. All domestic manufacturers and official importers will continue working to reduce prices so that Kazakhstani citizens can buy new, safe, and technologically advanced vehicles.
