The automobile market in Iceland it does not boast large figures every year but it is important due to the economic volume it moves As a general rule, they sell cars that are much more expensive than normal in other countries in the region. In 2020 the general figures fell by 20.2 %% to place the total volume in the 9,303 units sold.
Thanks to direct aid to the purchase, electric vehicles have experienced a significant increase in demand and it could be said that Iceland follows the steps that Norway has already taken in terms of tax advantages and incentives, convincing the user that it is the most correct (and practical on a day-to-day basis).
In 2020 the electric ones dominated the market with 2,356 units while the gasoline ones were left with 2,139 units. Also sold were 1,805 diesel-powered units, 1,896 PHEV hybrids, 1,162 conventional hybrids, and 37 methane-capable bi-fuels.

Without a doubt, the surprise of the year has been Tesla Model 3 that has remained with the first position stealing all the prominence from Toyota RAV4 which is a regular at the top spot. Very well Kia Niro, Audi e-tron, Volvo XC40, Skoda Kodiaq and Toyota Land Cruiser which continues to be an essential product to be able to circulate in certain areas of the country.
Other outstanding models of the year 2020 were the VW ID.3, Hyundai i20, Jeep Compass (the hybrid 4xe version is having a lot of success), Mercedes GLE, Peugeot 2008, Mazda CX-30 and the Mercedes EQC which is another of the electric models that has benefited from the aid.
Just as we can talk about many cars with good data, there are also those with bad. This is the case of the Dacia Duster which has gone from second position in 2019 to 24th while the Skoda Octavia it falls from 12th to 34th. The Toyota Aygo, Nissan Qashqai and Kia Ceed don’t have much to celebrate either.
