The second place in the overall standings (and the first among large countries) is occupied by the United States: 4519 cars per 100 thousand inhabitants, and Canada closes the top three with a result of 4299 new cars sold per 100 thousand inhabitants of the country
In Russia last year, 1,132 cars were sold per 100,000 inhabitants, the same number as in Iran. This is slightly less than in Poland, and more than in many Eastern European countries.
