New car sales grow nearly 50 percent in 2025

New car sales in Argentina grew nearly 50 percent in 2025, driven by the return of financing and the opening of the automotive market.

Argentina's automotive market ended 2025 with a significant surge in new car sales, recording nearly 50 percent growth in registrations. This boom is mainly attributed to two key factors: the reintroduction of accessible financing options and the liberalization of the automotive market, which eased access to new models for consumers.

According to sector reports, these governmental and economic measures have revitalized a market that faced challenges in previous years. The opening allowed for more imports, diversifying the offer and stimulating competition among brands. While exact figures are not detailed in initial sources, the growth highlights a recovery in automotive consumption post-pandemic and amid inflationary adjustments.

Industry experts note that this increase not only benefits local dealerships but also boosts the supply chain and employment in the sector. However, questions remain about the sustainability of this pace in 2026, depending on macroeconomic stability.
