Minsk Car Market: Budget Buys and Brand Preferences

Minsk Car Market Reflects Budgetary Constraints and Brand Preferences Minsk, Belarus – The Belarusian car market is currently experiencing a trend towards budget-friendly vehicles, as evidenced by a recent video review from a local car dealership. The review, filmed on May 26th, 2025, focuses on vehicles priced around $20,000 USD. The reviewer, from Metropol Auto in Minsk, notes a strong preference for Peugeot and Citroen models among customers. "People aren't buying BMWs or Mercedes at this price point," the reviewer states, "but the Peugeots and Citroens are flying off the lot." He also points out that while other brands like Opel and Volvo are available, they are less popular. The review highlights the challenges faced by consumers in the current economic climate, where finding a reliable and affordable car can be difficult. However, the availability of a range of European models in this price bracket offers some positive aspects for potential buyers.
