New passenger car registrations in Spain increased in October for the third consecutive month, to 67,604 (up 12% year-over-year). However, the market situation is still challenging as the number of new registrations during the first ten months of the year, decreased by 6.5% year-over-year to 681,513.
Meanwhile, plug-in electric car sales continue their uninterrupted growth, but at a very slow rate.
