Overview
- September 2026 data show Argentina registered 49,814 new vehicles, a 10.7% rise from August but an 11.4% fall versus September 2025 leaving the January–September total about 13% below 2025 levels.
- Imported models accounted for roughly 69% of Argentina’s September registrations, a structural shift that industry groups link to recent permit and tariff changes and to the rapid entry of Chinese brands.
- Electrified vehicles climbed fast in both markets: Argentina logged 865 battery‑electric cars (+434% year‑on‑year) and 8,322 hybrids in September while Spain saw electrified models make up about one third of September sales.
- Spain posted a record month for turismos in September with roughly 93,858 registrations driven by the roll‑out of Plan Auto+ incentives and concentrated deliveries of models such as the Tesla Model 3, which led the month with 2,528 units.
- Other mobility shifts are clear in Argentina where motorcycle registrations jumped sharply and used‑vehicle transfers rose month‑to‑month, a pattern that will force dealers and local manufacturers to adapt pricing, product mix and distribution.
