During the first month of this 2021 new vehicle registrations in the Spanish market have been disastrous, with a fall of 51.5% compared to the same month of the previous year, reaching a total volume of only 41,966 units delivered to new customers.
The economic recession caused by the health crisis and the rise in taxes they have been the main causes of this enormous fall. To find such a low record in a month of January you would have to travel to 1989, so you can already get an idea of the seriousness of the situation.

The SEAT Leon managed to close in first place although very close to Dacia sandero which is liquidating the units of the previous generation. The star of the month however is the Cupra Formentor which has been very well received thanks to the smaller gasoline engine.
Other models that have had relatively good sales have been the Mercedes GLA, Fiat 500X and Renault Kadjar, the latter rising in the ranking. The biggest drops are in Volkswagen that no model “sneaks in” among the best sellers of the month of January, something very rare that has not happened for many years.
