FX.co ★ Spain’s Car Registrations Cool Sharply in October After September Surge

Spain’s car registration growth slowed dramatically in October 2026, following a surge the previous month, according to the latest data updated on 2 November 2026. The indicator for car registrations rose by 4.90% in October on a month-over-month basis, a steep deceleration from the 36.90% jump recorded in September 2026.

The figures highlight a strong normalization in the market after September’s outsized increase in registrations. The October reading reflects a more moderate expansion in new vehicle registrations when compared with the previous month, in line with the month‑over‑month comparison methodology that contrasts each month’s change against the immediately preceding one.
