Description

The Swiss passenger cars market in 2023 highlighted a steady yet transformative shift in consumer preferences, marked by growing uptake of alternative fuel vehicles. Registrations of new passenger cars were diversified across petrol, diesel, and electrified options, with hybrids and battery-electric vehicles gaining an increasing share between 2021 and 2023 as buyers responded to environmental policies and improved charging networks. The total passenger car stock expanded gradually from 2018 to 2023, reflecting stable demand despite broader economic challenges. Switzerland maintained a very high motorisation rate in 2023, one of the highest in Europe, underscoring the importance of private car ownership in a country with both urban and mountainous regions. By fuel type, petrol cars still made up a large share of the fleet, supported by a wide mix of engine sizes, while diesel models, often associated with larger vehicles, continued to account for a notable proportion despite declining popularity. The age structure of the fleet on 31 December 2023 showed a balanced distribution, with a significant segment of cars under 10 years old but also many older vehicles that remain in use due to Switzerland’s reputation for well-maintained cars. Overall, the Swiss market reflects both stability and a clear transition toward greener mobility, with alternative fuels steadily reshaping the composition of the national fleet.
