Toyota has seen significant growth in interest, nearly doubling its share within three months. Volkswagen remains the market leader with 33.2% share, followed by Renault and Toyota. Gasoline engines continue to dominate with 63.8% preference, while diesel engines have declined sharply. Consumers are increasingly opting for larger vehicles like limousines and SUVs, and there is a noticeable shift away from smaller models like hatchbacks. Financial preferences show a strong preference for cash payments, with leasing options declining significantly. The average budget for car purchases in Q2 2025 was around €18,270, with the majority of buyers looking for vehicles priced between €10,001 and €20,000.
