Description

The Spanish passenger cars market in 2023 showed clear signs of transition, with new registrations reflecting a gradual decline in diesel and petrol dominance and a stronger push toward hybrid and electric mobility. New passenger cars by engine fuel type were increasingly diversified, with alternative fuel vehicles making up a rising share between 2021 and 2023, supported by EU decarbonisation policies and consumer incentives. The total number of passenger cars in Spain continued to grow from 2018 to 2023, underlining the country’s strong dependence on private mobility. The motorisation rate in 2023 stood at a high level, reflecting widespread car ownership relative to population size. Fleet composition remained mixed: petrol-driven cars were more common in smaller engine segments, while diesel models dominated larger engine categories, especially among older vehicles. By fuel type, the overall fleet was still primarily petrol and diesel, but hybrids and EVs showed steady expansion. The age structure of cars as of December 2023 revealed that a significant share of the fleet was over ten years old, highlighting replacement opportunities and the importance of renewal strategies. Spain’s car market thus reflects both entrenched reliance on traditional fuels and a strengthening shift toward electrification and alternative technologies.
