At the same time, the total value of these vehicles amounted to $830.527 million, indicating a 2% increase.
Special attention should be paid to the growth in imports of hybrid cars.

Additionally, there is a steady growth in interest in Chinese cars, particularly electric vehicles. Companies like BYD are actively capturing the Azerbaijani market, especially in the taxi segment. Chinese cars attract attention due to their affordability, modern technology, and environmental friendliness, making them an increasingly popular choice among local consumers.
The growing popularity of hybrid and electric cars reflects global trends toward environmentally friendly transportation and energy efficiency. While the overall volume of car imports has declined, the demand for eco-friendly models, including Chinese electric vehicles, continues to rise, indicating a gradual shift of the country's vehicle fleet towards more sustainable and innovative solutions.
