Nissan’s latest figures show the MICRA electric climbing in city car rankings while the QASHQAI e‑POWER cements its role among Spanish SUVs. The brand’s commercial vehicles also post strong results, signaling a strategic shift in Spain’s electrified mobility landscape.
September changed the game for Nissan in Spain. The MICRA electric and QASHQAI e‑POWER both hit new highs. The MICRA, Nissan’s fully electric city car, launched earlier this year. It now holds sixth place in its segment for both September and the year so far. Nearly 800 units have sold in 2026. That’s a real foothold for Nissan in Spain’s crowded city EV market. Size and price matter here. Spanish drivers want cars that fit tight streets and tight budgets. ANFAC data and sector analysts confirm the trend. The Spanish car market grew 10.2% year-on-year in September 2026. There were 93,858 new passenger cars registered, up from 85,167 a year ago. The market is hot for new models.
The QASHQAI e‑POWER, Nissan’s hybrid SUV, also had a strong month. It posted its second-best result of 2026. Almost 5,500 units have sold so far this year. The e‑POWER version now makes up over 40% of all QASHQAI registrations in Spain. This model is different from plug-in hybrids. The petrol engine only generates electricity. The wheels are driven by an electric motor. Nissan Spain confirms the official numbers: 4.3 l/100 km fuel use and 98 g/km CO₂ emissions. That beats many diesel rivals. Buyers get efficiency, range, and practicality. Nissan is betting on electrified models that fit Spanish needs.
In September 2026, Nissan accounted for about 1,132 electric vehicle registrations in Spain, representing 1.1% of the national EV market.
Nissan’s commercial vehicles are now a key part of its Spanish plan. The Townstar, Primastar, and Interstar models together had their second-best month of 2026. Nearly 2,500 units have been registered this year. Nissan’s commercial lineup is broad. It offers electrified options and new camper versions. These target both professionals and families. The goal is clear. Nissan wants to meet changing transport needs in Spain. Official sales summaries show the QASHQAI ranked 12th among all car models in Spain for September. There were 13,587 registrations. The model remains popular, no matter the powertrain.
Private buyers get extra perks. Anyone buying a MICRA, ARIYA, or LEAF before the end of the year gets over 15,000 kilometers of free driving. This comes from a deal with Repsol and Zunder. The offer has specific conditions. It’s meant to make electric cars more attractive and help city drivers switch. The MICRA electric also qualifies for a €4,500 subsidy under Spain’s Plan Auto+ program. This makes it even more affordable for eligible buyers. Sector publications have confirmed these details.
The Spanish car market is changing fast. As reported earlier, established brands now face tough competition from new players. Chinese automakers are shaking things up. They use aggressive pricing and are opening more dealerships. Nissan is pushing back. It’s growing its electrified range and keeping up in both city and SUV segments. That’s a direct answer to the new pressure.
Industry experts caution that EV sales data in Spain can vary depending on whether ANFAC or DGT registration sources are used, with aggregated figures sometimes differing by several percent. For the most accurate model-by-model breakdowns, official ANFAC or DGT releases are recommended.
One thing stands out in Nissan’s September results. It’s not just the sales numbers. The approach is clear. Nissan offers different solutions for city drivers, SUV buyers, and commercial users. Each is built for Spanish roads and rules. The MICRA is climbing the electric city car ranks. The QASHQAI e‑POWER leads among hybrid SUVs. Commercial models keep growing. Nissan is adapting. It’s not backing down. With buyers’ tastes shifting and rivals moving in, Nissan’s mix of models and targeted incentives make it a real contender in Spain’s changing mobility scene.
