Spain July 2025: Market up 17.1%, Ebro breaks into Top 20

The Ebro brand has been relaunched to assemble and sell rebadged Chery vehicles.

The Spanish new car market is on a roll this year, with July sales up another 17.1% year-on-year to 98,337 units. This leads to a year-to-date tally up 14.3% to 708,139. The market is boosted by the growth of electrified vehicle sales (+155% to 21,002 units and 21.4% share in July) and the replacement plan for vehicles affected by last year’s storm. For context, we however remain 14% below the result of pre-pandemic January-July 2019. Demonstrating even further the strength of the market, private sales soar 23.6% year-on-year in July to 50,696 units, while company sales are up 18.1% to 37,322 and sales to rental companies off -9.4% to 10,319. Year-to-date, private sales gain 19.4% to 307,556, company sales are up 11% to 235,286 and rental sales are up 10.3% to 165,297.

 Toyota (+10.6%) reclaims the pole position in the brands charts with a solid 9.4% share, even though it trails the market. Volkswagen (+15.6%) is also up one spot on last month to #2, while Hyundai (+6.1%) is up four to #3. Seat (+16%) ranks at #4 and last month’s leader Renault (+29.4%) falls to #5 but still manages the biggest YoY gain in the Top 7. Skoda (+38.8%), Peugeot (+35.3%) and Dacia (+18.3%) also beat the market in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, Opel (+31.3%), Cupra (+25.3%), Nissan (+23%) and BMW (+22.7%) shine but the best performer is BYD surging 665.2% to #19. Local brand Ebro, relaunched last December to assemble in Barcelona rebadged Chery vehicles, smashes all its records and ranks #20 with 1.4% share for the month.

Over in the models charts, the Dacia Sandero (+3.3%) stays on top as usual with the #2 being the Hyundai Tucson (+2.4%), up 9 spots on June. The Seat Ibiza (+17.5%) and Toyota Yaris Cross (+20.2%) are both up 6 ranks to #3 and #4 respectively. The Peugeot 2008 (+89.4%), Opel Corsa (+51.2%), Seat Arona (+44.7%) and VW T-Roc (+32.1%) are also very dynamic. The best-selling recent launch is the Jaecoo 7 at #43, followed by the Ebro S700 (aka Chery Tiggo 7) at #44, Omoda 9 (#56), Dacia Bigster (#61) and BYD Dolphin Surf (#62).
