Argentina Carmakers Cut Select New-Car Prices in March as SUV Tags Hold Steady

Select list prices were trimmed after the internal tax was scrapped, reflecting softer demand.

Overview

  • Fiat slashed the 600 Hybrid’s list price from about $49.34 million to $39.95 million, a reduction near $10 million or roughly 19%.
  • Peugeot models under Stellantis recorded sizable markdowns, with the 408, 3008 and 5008 each dropping by more than $9 million on the March lists.
  • Volkswagen lowered prices on imported Vento GLI and Tiguan models and cut Amarok variants by roughly 5.8% to 6% depending on version.
  • Many nameplates kept February pricing, and the compiled ranking of the 10 cheapest SUVs was unchanged for March with the JAC S2 still at US$19,900.
  • Official DNRPA data show February 2026 new‑car registrations fell about 6% year over year, a key backdrop for the targeted price moves.
