The MG ZS is the most popular vehicle in Spain in February.
It’s another sturdy month for new car sales in Spain, with February up 11% year-on-year to 90,327 units. This leads to a year-to-date tally up 8.4% to 162,643. The nation-wide volume is helped by replacement vehicles purchased in the Comunidad Valenciana (+69.3%) and without them the market would be up “just” 5.8%. Other strong regions include Baleares (+41.4%), Asturias (+22.2%), La rioja (+14.7%) and Cantabria (+14.6%). This month’s private sales are very solid at +15.9% to 40,321 while company sales edge up 3.9% to 29,646 and sales to rental companies advance 13% to 20,360. Year-to-date, private sales post the best performance also at +14.1% to 78,539 units with company sales up 3% to 57,622 and rentals up 4.9% to 26,482.
The Top 4 brands all beat the market this month. Toyota (+34.9%) continues to lead the way at 9.1% share, distancing a surging Renault (+45.2%). Seat (+12%) is up five spots on last month to #3 ahead of Kia (+40.1%). Volkswagen (+3%) is more muted at #5 but is back up two ranks on January. Peugeot (-23.8%), leader a year ago, falls to #6. MG (+118.3%) is up spectacularly, scoring the largest year-on-year uptick in the Top 20 and shooting up to #7 with 4,596 sales and 5.1% share, all new records eclipsing its previous best of #9 with 3,944 sales and 4.7% established last July. Dacia (+12.3%) also edges past the market growth but falls four spots on January to #8. Notice also Jaecoo up to a record #28.
Over in the models charts, the MG ZS (+70.3%) posts a fourth ever monthly win after August, September and December 2023, outselling the traditional leader, the Dacia Sandero (+4.8%). The Renault Clio (+57.8%) and Seat Ibiza (+24.5%) also manage very strong results above the Toyota Corolla (+8.6%) which rounds out the Top 5. The Toyota C-HR (+67.2%), Peugeot 208 (+59.3%) and Opel Corsa (+26.8%) also lodge fantastic gains in the remainder of the Top 10, with the Renault Captur (+13.4%) a little weaker but still beating the market’s average growth. The Renault Symbioz is up 58 spots on January to land at #41, making it the best-selling recent launch in the country above the Jaecoo 7 (#46), BYD Seal U (#64) and Kia EV3 (#67).
