Madrid, December 1, 2025. The passenger car market maintains its good evolution and achieved a 12.9% increase in sales in November, with 94,124 new registrations.

As in previous months, the sales pace in November managed to exceed the market volume registered in the same month of 2019.
For the year as a whole, the market exceeds one million passenger cars, with 1,045,638 units sold, which represents 14.7% more than in the same period of the previous year. However, the figures are still 9.3% below the same records in 2019. In any case, the good pace accumulated until November allows us to place the year-end forecast above 1.1 million passenger car sales by 2025.

Félix García, director of communication and marketing of ANFAC, explained that “the market trend is positive. November also grows at double digits and at levels similar to the same month in 2019. Since September we have had levels higher than those of the year prior to the pandemic. In the cumulative total of the year we have already exceeded the data for 2024 and if December does not suffer any stoppage the final market would be around 1.14 or 1.15 million passenger cars sold. A strong domestic market is key to strengthening the competitiveness of the industry. In this sense, next Wednesday the Spain Auto 2030 Plan prepared by ANFAC in collaboration with the Government will be presented. It is a roadmap that goes beyond the plans to help the demand for electrification, it is a complete roadmap to ensure that Spain continues to be the second European manufacturer when only electric vehicles are manufactured. Because selling cars will continue to be sold, but it is necessary to know if they will be manufactured in Spain.
Raúl Morales, communication director of FACONAUTO, pointed out that “the automotive market in our country continues to show signs of strength. It is confirmed for yet another year that the end of the year is very positive commercially speaking for dealers and on this occasion this is based above all on the fact that the sector is knowing how to mobilize demand and also because the registration of electrified vehicles is not slowing down thanks to the MOVES Plan.
Regarding the MOVES Plan, it must be emphasized that in a good part of the autonomous communities their budget has already run out, which is affecting open operations and is also affecting the waiting list that is being generated in those autonomous communities.
We trust that the Government will articulate some measure that will allow us to reach December 31, which is when the MOVES Plan ends, in such a way that no citizen is left without the promised aid. It is very important to emphasize that both the MOVES Plan and that 15% bonus on personal income tax are operational until December 31 and available to buyers.”
Tania Puche, communications director of GANVAM, pointed out that “the market continues its upward trend in November and has accumulated 15 consecutive positive months. Individual purchases continue to show significant increases compared to 2024 and the good performance of electrified vehicles stands out, which account for more than 20% of registrations. These figures show that demand is being mobilized, thanks to purchasing aid and the entry of new brands characterized by having very competitive prices. Now, from the sector we see with concern that a budget extension has not yet been announced for the current Moves III, valid until the end of the year, and that in the autonomous communities where the funds have been exhausted, waiting lists will continue to grow. We trust that the Government will implement immediate measures to cover all operations until December 31, so that no one is left without help and the market continues its firm path towards recovery.
