2022 has been a dark year for the motor sector in Spain: with 813,396 registrations, there has been a 5.4% decrease compared to the results of 2021. However, some manufacturers have performed quite well: the 10 most popular car brands sold in Spain in 2022.
As expected, it is the generalist firms that dominate the top, although a premium one sneaks in by surprise. In addition, although the majority are European manufacturers, the first three positions correspond to Asian companies.
This is the list of the 10 best-selling car brands in Spain in 2022:
-
Toyota: 73,505 units
-
Kia: 63,345 units
-
Hyundai: 59,503 units
-
Volkswagen: 58,874 units
-
Peugeot: 54,737 units
-
Seat: 49,200 units
-
Renault: 45,515 units
-
Citroen: 43,160 units
-
Dacia: 37,682 units
-
Mercedes: 36,479 units
The presence of Toyota in first place is not surprising, led by two models that have performed really well this course, such as the Toyota Corolla and the Toyota C-HR which, with 16,998 and 15,987 units, have occupied positions 7 and 7 in the annual top sales
In the case of the Kia, despite the good work of the Kia Sportage (9th with 15,261 registrations), it is more of a good work of the complete brand; and the same is true of Hyundai, despite the fact that the Hyundai Tucson, with 21,985 units, has been the best-selling car of 2022.
In most cases, all the brands present have managed to place one of their models in the top 10 sales, with two exceptions: Renault (although in specific months vehicles such as the Renault Clio have hit “arreones”) and Mercedes, being This is the most striking because it is the only premium brand and, therefore, with higher average prices.
One of the examples that stands out the most is the case of Dacia and that is that the Dacia Sandero, which has been placed as the second best-selling car of the year, has accounted for more than 50% of the brand’s total sales, reaching 20,782 registrations. .
