Spain has one of the largest passenger car stocks in the European Union, with approximately 26.6 million cars registered in 2022.
The Spanish automotive market
Spain ranked second on the list of car manufacturers in Europe in 2023. In that year, around 1.9 million passenger cars were produced in Spain, compared to the one million cars that were produced in France. One of the main drivers behind Spain’s position is car brand SEAT. The most popular SEAT models in Spain were the SEAT Arona and the SEAT Ibiza.
Germany: Europe‘s indisputable car manufacturer
Germany was the European country that most recorded passenger car registrations, with roughly 2.84 million new cars on the country’s roads in 2023. The popularity of cars in Germany comes as no surprise, since the European country houses a few of the largest automobile groups in the continent. The German car manufacturer VW Group held the largest market share of passenger cars in Europe as of December 2023, taking up nearly 26 percent of the total market.
