SloveniaThe Slovenian car market experienced significant shifts in the first three months of 2026, according to a new quarterly survey by Valicon for AutoBrief. Consumers are increasingly turning towards new vehicles, with the average planned budget surpassing €21,000 for the first time. Alternatives such as electric engines now account for 41% of preferences. The survey, which asked respondents what they plan to buy rather than what they have already purchased, revealed that 37.2% intend to buy a new car compared to 62.8% opting for a used vehicle. This marks a notable shift from the previous quarter, where used cars accounted for 73.6%. The trend indicates growing interest in new vehicles, particularly electric models, with their share nearly doubling within a year.
