More people are switching to electric cars: Nearly 1.9m battery-electric cars were registered which made up 17.4% of sales, up from 13.6% a year earlier. Hybrid electric cars remain the most popular choice among European consumers, accounting for 34.5% of the market. Meanwhile, the combined market share of petrol and diesel fell to 35.5% from 45.2%."
Across Europe including the EU, EFTA and the UK, car sales rose 7.6% to 1.2m vehicles in December and 2.4% to 13.3m cars in 2025 according to ACEA figures. Jaguar Land Rover recorded a 25.3% fall in December sales to 4,332 and a 17% decline to 53,161 for 2025 after a September cyber attack halted production and pushed the firm into a quarterly loss of almost £500m. The hack is estimated to have cost the UK economy up to £1.9bn. EU car sales rose 1.8% to 10.8m in 2025, with battery-electric and hybrid vehicles growing market share while petrol and diesel declined.
