Nissan’s MICRA electric and QASHQAI e-POWER posted strong results in Spain in September 2026. The MICRA ranked sixth in its segment for the month and year to date, with nearly 800 units sold in 2026, while the QASHQAI e-POWER recorded its second-best result of the year. Spain’s passenger car market grew 10.2% year on year, with 93,858 registrations, up from 85,167 a year earlier.
Launched earlier this year, the MICRA has found a foothold in Spain’s crowded city EV market, where size and price matter to drivers dealing with tight streets and budgets. ANFAC data and sector analysts point to market growth and demand for new models.
The QASHQAI e-POWER, Nissan’s hybrid SUV, has sold almost 5,500 units so far this year. The e-POWER version accounts for more than 40% of all QASHQAI registrations in Spain. Unlike a plug-in hybrid, its petrol engine generates electricity, while an electric motor drives the wheels. Nissan Spain lists official fuel consumption at 4.3 l/100 km and emissions at 98 g/km CO₂, lower than those of many diesel rivals. Buyers get efficiency and range, with practicality also part of Nissan’s focus on electrified models suited to Spanish needs. Forococheselectricos reported about 1,132 Nissan electric vehicle registrations in Spain in September 2026, representing 1.1% of the national EV market.
Nissan’s commercial vehicles are also basic to its plan in Spain. The Townstar, Primastar and Interstar together recorded their second-best month of 2026, with nearly 2,500 units registered so far this year. The lineup includes electrified options and new camper versions for professionals and families, targeting changing transport needs. Official sales summaries show the QASHQAI ranked 12th among all car models in Spain in September, with 13,587 registrations. It remains popular across powertrains.
Private buyers can get additional incentives. Customers who buy a MICRA, ARIYA or LEAF before the end of the year receive more than 15,000 kilometers of free driving through a deal with Repsol and Zunder, subject to specific conditions. The offer is designed to make electric cars more attractive and encourage city drivers to switch. Eligible buyers can also receive a €4,500 subsidy for the MICRA electric under Spain’s Plan Auto+ program. Sector publications have confirmed these details.
Spain’s car market is changing quickly as established brands face competition from new entrants. Chinese automakers are competing with aggressive pricing while expanding their dealership networks. Nissan is responding by growing its electrified range and competing in city and SUV segments.
Evstats.org cautions that Spanish EV sales figures can vary depending on whether ANFAC or DGT registration sources are used; aggregated totals can differ by several percentage points. It recommends official ANFAC or DGT releases for the most accurate model-by-model breakdowns.
Nissan’s September results reflect an approach tailored to city drivers and SUV buyers, alongside commercial users, with models designed for Spanish roads and rules. The MICRA is climbing the electric city car rankings, the QASHQAI e-POWER is gaining ground among hybrid SUVs, and commercial models are growing. As buyer preferences shift and rivals enter the market, Nissan is relying on its model range and targeted incentives to compete in Spain.
