Spain’s passenger car market maintained steady growth in June, supported by accelerating electrification. Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles accounted for 23.2% of new registrations, while Chinese automakers, led by Chery and BYD, continued to expand their market share.
Latest data from the Spanish Association of Automobile and Truck Manufacturers (ANFAC) showed new passenger car registrations reached 128,426 units in June, up 7.8% year on year. Monthly sales topped 100K units for a fourth consecutive month.
During the first half of 2026, Spain registered 647,711 new passenger cars, up 6.2% from a year earlier, extending the market’s steady recovery.
Electrified vehicles remained the key growth driver. Combined sales of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) reached 29,791 units in June, up 20.2% year on year. Market penetration climbed to 23.2%.
Conventional hybrids remained Spain’s largest single powertrain category. Hybrid sales reached 59,026 units in June, up 26.2%, accounting for 38.9% of total registrations. Internal-combustion vehicles continued to lose ground, with sales falling 23.6% from a year earlier.
As EV adoption continues to rise across Spain, demand for new-energy vehicles is creating fresh opportunities for Chinese automakers.
BYD maintained rapid momentum. The company sold 4,873 vehicles in Spain during June, up 102.4% year on year. First-half sales reached 22,860 units, up 124.2%, keeping BYD among the leading Chinese new-energy brands in the country.
MG remained the best-selling Chinese automotive brand in Spain. June sales rose 36.6% to 4,927 units. First-half deliveries totaled 25,137 units, down 1.4% from a year earlier due to a high comparison base, though the brand retained its lead among Chinese automakers.
Chery Group emerged as one of the fastest-growing Chinese automakers in Spain. Combined June sales across its brands reached 7,126 units.
Ebro delivered 2,808 vehicles, up 220.2% year on year, continuing to benefit from its localization partnership with Chery. Omoda sold 2,489 units, up 85.9%. Jaecoo delivered 1,835 units, rising 122.7%.
By the end of June, cumulative sales reached 13,939 units for Ebro, 13,208 for Omoda, and 6,590 for Jaecoo, representing year-on-year growth of 276.9%, 118.6%, and 51.8% respectively. The figures suggest Chery’s multi-brand strategy is gaining traction in the Spanish market.
