Published average age of cars in Croatia

In the first half of 2026, Croatia recorded 117,388 new vehicle registrations across all categories, marking a 4.4% increase compared to the same period in 2025. The average age of the entire vehicle fleet is 14.8 years, while personal cars average 13.3 years. Registration numbers for used vehicles dropped by 11.9%, primarily due to fewer second-hand car registrations, while new car registrations rose by 5.7%. Hybrid vehicles led new registrations at 39.6%, surpassing gasoline-powered cars for the first time. Electric vehicles saw more than double the registrations compared to the same period in 2025. Diesel engines remain dominant among used vehicles at 52.6%, though their share has decreased slightly from 58.1% in 2025. Overall, the number of registered vehicles increased by 3% year-on-year, with personal cars rising by 2.6%. Officials note the gradual modernization of the vehicle fleet but emphasize the importance of maintaining older vehicles for road safety.

CVH: Average age of the fleet in Croatia 14,8 years

The average age of Croatia's vehicle fleet has been reported by the Croatian Vehicle Center (CVH) to be 14.8 years. In the first six months of this year, 117,388 new vehicle registrations were recorded across all categories, representing a 4.4% increase compared to the same period last year. However, the number of used car registrations dropped by 3.6%, from 87,624 to 84,409, primarily due to fewer used vehicles being registered. Hybrid cars have become the most popular type of new personal vehicle, accounting for 39.6% of new registrations, surpassing gasoline-powered cars which now make up 37.2%. Diesel engines remain the most common among used vehicles at 52.6%, though their share has decreased from 58.1% last year. The number of electric vehicles more than doubled compared to the same period last year, with 2,807 registered versus 1,138 in 2025. As of June 30, 2026, there were 1,492,490 registered vehicles in Croatia, a 3% increase from the previous year.
