Electric vehicles and the post-DANA recovery boost passenger car sales in June.

The Spanish new passenger car market closed June with very positive figures, reaching a total of 119,125 registered units, representing a significant 15.2% increase compared to the same month last year. This is the best monthly figure of 2025 and the second consecutive year surpassing the 115,000-unit mark.

The market's momentum is attributed to two main factors: the strong pace of electrified vehicle sales and the positive impact of deliveries in the DANA Zone, benefiting from the Reinicia Auto+ Plan subsidies extended until October, according to figures released Tuesday by the automotive industry associations Anfac, Faconauto, and Ganvam.

In the first half of the year, 609,801 new passenger car sales were recorded, representing a 13.9% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Despite this positive trend, the market is still 12% below the figures for 2019, before the pandemic.

Electrified passenger vehicles (including pure electric and plug-in hybrids) were the main protagonists of the month. 24,776 units were registered, experiencing a 130.7% growth in June and reaching its best-ever record in a single month. Sales of electrified vehicles now represent 20.8% of the total market. So far this year, 102,348 electrified vehicles have been sold, 83% more than the previous year, raising their market share to 16.8%, almost 7 percentage points higher than in 2024.

This trend toward electrification is also reflected in the average CO2 emissions of passenger cars sold in June, which fell to 101.9 grams per kilometer, 13% less than in the same month in 2024. For the cumulative year of 2025, average emissions stand at 107.5%, 8.7% less than in the first half of the previous year.

By sales channel, the retail market performed excellently, with 48,836 new units and a 28.8% increase. Sales to businesses also grew by 14.2%, totaling 42,208 units. Only the rental channel experienced a slight decline of 1.5% in June.

Regarding other segments, light commercial vehicle registrations grew 13.6% in June, with 18,551 units. Year-to-date, they totaled 94,911 sales, an 11.1% increase. On the other hand, registrations of commercial vehicles, buses, coaches, and minibuses fell again in June, with a 4.6% drop and 2,974 sales. The largest decline was observed in commercial vehicles (-6.2%), while buses and minibuses increased by 8%.

For the manufacturers' association Anfac, this is good news, as June was the month with the most passenger car sales so far this year, surpassing 119,000 units. This also marks two consecutive months with deliveries exceeding 115,000. This organization emphasizes that hybrid vehicle sales continue to rise, while diesel now accounts for less than 6% of monthly sales.

Faconauto (Federation of Automotive Dealer Associations) explains that "the automotive industry in our country has performed much better than expected in this first half of the year, and the main reason is that sales of electrified vehicles now account for almost 20% of all registrations, as supply has kept pace with demand. This is the main change we have seen in this first half of the year and explains the positive performance of these technologies."

The National Association of Vehicle, Repair and Spare Parts Sellers (Ganvam) acknowledges that even excluding the DANA effect, private purchases, which provide the greatest profitability for the point of sale, are driving registrations. This also coincides with a time when drivers' budgets for purchasing a new vehicle have increased by around 14% compared to last year, reaching around €30,000.

"We'll have to see how the market performs in the second half of the year, but if this pace continues, it would be feasible to reach the threshold of 1.1 million units sold," the organization analyzes.
