Argentina 2025 snapshot: Fleet Mobility Today English

Описание: Argentina’s auto market in 2025 is paradoxical. New vehicle registrations surged 47.8% year‑over‑year, despite an economy under heavy strain. Inflation is above 31%, eroding purchasing power, while benchmark interest rates at 25.5% make financing prohibitively expensive. Unemployment at 6.6% adds further uncertainty. Yet consumers are buying cars aggressively, often as a hedge against inflation — preferring hard assets over rapidly devaluing cash.

The paradox deepens as domestic production fell 3.1% even while sales soared, raising questions about reliance on imports or depletion of dealer inventories. Argentina’s fleet totals 15.6 million vehicles, roughly one for every three people, making any shift nationally significant.

Market leadership is concentrated among five brands: Toyota, Volkswagen, Fiat, Renault, and Peugeot. Toyota dominates thanks to the Hilux pickup and Yaris sedan, with Yaris sales up 44.5%. Meanwhile, Peugeot’s 208 slipped slightly.

Energy costs highlight a transformative opportunity: covering the same distance costs about $116 in gasoline but only $0.18 in electricity. For fleets — taxis, delivery vans, trucks — this difference could redefine business models. The collision of consumer demand, production limits, and energy economics sets the stage for Argentina’s mobility future, with EV adoption poised to reshape the market by 2030.
