FX.co ★ Italian Car Registrations Accelerate to 11.6% YoY Growth in April 2026

Italy’s car market showed renewed strength in April 2026, as new passenger car registrations rose 11.6% year-over-year, according to data updated on 4 May 2026. The figure marks a notable acceleration from March 2026, when registrations increased by 7.6% compared with the same month a year earlier.

The indicators are based on year-over-year comparisons: the April reading compares registrations in April 2026 with April 2025, while the previous 7.6% figure reflects March 2026 versus March 2025. The step-up in growth suggests a firming recovery in Italy’s auto sector, with April’s pace outstripping the already positive momentum seen in March.
