Particularly noteworthy was the performance of electrified models, with combined sales of pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles exceeding 21,000 units, a surge of 155% year-on-year, and their market share surpassing 21% for the first time, setting a new historical record. The collective acceleration of Chinese brands has become the most prominent variable in the monthly data. ◎ BYD ranked 19th among all brands for the first time with monthly sales of 2,158 units, a 665% increase year-on-year;   ◎ Omoda and JAC Jietu followed closely with sales of 1,301 and 834 units, respectively; ◎ Meanwhile, Chery's joint venture brand "Ebro" sold 1,392 units in July, surpassing some local and Japanese legacy players.   In a market traditionally led by strong brands like Toyota, Volkswagen, and SEAT, Chinese brands are making initial inroads primarily with compact electric vehicles and mid-size electric SUVs.   Although this growth remains on the fringes, it is clear and stable enough. In the Spanish market, where old and new powertrains coexist and diverse products compete, Chinese brands are being noticed and even chosen. **01**  **Spanish Automotive Market** **Overall Landscape Analysis** In July 2025, total passenger car sales in Spain reached 98,337 units, with cumulative sales from January to July hitting 708,139 units, a 14.3% year-on-year increase. Private car purchases grew by 23.6%, corporate purchases by 18.1%, while the leasing market saw a slight decline. This growth momentum is closely tied to the release of replacement demand after last year's market downturn, government subsidies for new energy vehicles, and relaxed auto financing policies. From a brand performance perspective, ◎ Toyota regained the top spot with a 9.4% market share, ◎ followed by Volkswagen(7.0%), Hyundai(7.0%), SEAT(6.1%), and Renault(5.9%).   ◎ Among the top 10 brands, most achieved double-digit year-on-year growth, with Škoda(+38.8%), Peugeot(+35.3%), and Dacia(+18.3%) showing particularly rapid growth. At the model level   ◎ Dacia Sandero continued to top the list;   ◎ Hyundai Tucson, SEAT Ibiza,Toyota Yaris Cross, and Toyota Corolla rounded out the top five.   ◎ Additionally, Peugeot 2008, Opel Corsa, SEAT Arona, and Volkswagen T-Roc all showed strong growth.   Pure electric and plug-in hybrid models are gradually occupying important positions in the sales rankings, making the electrification trend clear. From a powertrain perspective,pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles accounted for over 21% of the market, while internal combustion engine vehicles saw a relative decline. In the segment market, plug-in hybrid SUVs and compact electric vehicles have become popular choices for Spanish households and corporate users. With urban traffic restrictions and stricter environmental regulations, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is expected to continue rising. **02** **Chinese Brands** **Breakthrough and Expansion in Spain** ◎ In July 2025, MG sold 3,703 units, ranking 12th with a market share of 3.8%. Year-to-date, MG has sold 29,197 units, a 60.4% increase year-on-year, rising to 10th place in overall brand sales rankings, making it one of the best-performing Chinese automakers in Spain. ◎ BYD sold 2,158 units, achieving a 2.2% market share and jumping to 19th place overall, with a staggering 665.2% year-on-year growth. The recently launched Seal U sold 836 units in July, followed by the Dolphin Surf Edition(531 units) and the Seal(87 units), demonstrating BYD's growing product appeal and brand recognition in the compact electric vehicle market.   ◎ Omoda sold 1,301 units in July with its Omoda 5 and Omoda 9 models, a 26.6% year-on-year increase, ranking 22nd. The Omoda 9 sold 577 units, ranking 56th overall, while the Omoda 5 saw an 83.3% year-on-year growth, showcasing its competitiveness in the B-segment electric SUV market. This performance further solidifies Chery's brand image in Spain, centered on technology, design, and value for money.   ◎ The re-entered "Ebro" brand ranked 20th with 1,392 units. The brand is actually a joint venture project with Chery, with its main model, the Ebro S700, being the Spanish version of the Chery Tiggo 7. It sold 797 units in July, becoming a representative of locally assembled Chinese cars.   ◎ Chinese brand Leapmotor sold 370 units this month, achieving year-on-year growth. Its T03 model, with its compact and practical electric vehicle positioning, meets the commuting needs of urban middle-class families in Spain.   In terms of models,apart from BYD and Chery's main models, some Chinese brand models have entered the forefront of segment markets. ◎ For example, the Yudo T03 ranked among the top five in the microcar market;   ◎ the Seal U entered the top ten in the compact SUV pure electric segment;   ◎ Jietu 7 broke into the competitive circle of joint venture brands with its design and pricing advantages.   Chinese brands still face significant challenges in the Spanish market,   ◎ Local consumers' awareness of emerging brands is still in the cultivation stage, especially in terms of service networks, after-sales support, and residual value stability. ◎ Japanese and French brands like Toyota, SEAT, Peugeot, and Renault have deep roots in the Spanish market, with broad user bases and brand loyalty.   ◎ The overall growth of pure electric vehicles has brought fierce competition, with BYD, Tesla, and the Volkswagen ID series competing on the same stage, requiring precise strategies in smart features and pricing.   **Summary**   From the data, the influence of Chinese automakers in the Spanish market is gradually becoming apparent. BYD has established itself in the compact SUV segment with its pure electric products, Chery has achieved localization breakthroughs with Ebro and Omoda, and Leapmotor has found its niche in urban commuting vehicles. The Spanish market is highly price-sensitive, and service networks, brand trust, and long-term residual value remain hurdles that Chinese automakers must overcome. Especially in a competitive landscape shaped by Tesla, the Volkswagen ID series, and traditional Japanese and French brands, the real battle will unfold in after-sales networks, OTA update capabilities, and product reliability.   Whether these brands can transition from price attraction to value retention will determine their sustainability in Spain and the broader Southern European market. Growth can come from choice, but staying in the market requires trust.​​​​ ### 相关股票 - [BYD Company Limited (BYDDF.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BYDDF.US.md) - [BYD COMPANY-R (81211.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/81211.HK.md) - [BYD Company (BYDDY.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/BYDDY.US.md) - [BYD (002594.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/002594.CN.md) - [BYD COMPANY (01211.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/01211.HK.md) - [BYD HK SDR 10to1 (HYDD.SG)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/HYDD.SG.md)
