Spain’s car registration growth eased in September 2026, with the year‑on‑year indicator coming in at 10.20%, down from 11.80% in August 2026. The figures, updated on 1 October 2026, highlight a moderation in the pace of expansion for the country’s auto market as the third quarter drew to a close.

Both the current and previous readings compare each month’s car registrations with the same month a year earlier. In August, registrations were 11.80% higher than in August of the previous year, while in September the year‑over‑year increase narrowed to 10.20%.

The data suggest that although Spain’s car market remains in growth territory, the momentum is softening on a year‑over‑year basis as autumn begins.
