The microchip crisis together with the slow economic recovery, now accentuated by the uncertainty derived from the international context and the war in Ukraine, are being fundamental factors for the evolution of the sale of new vehicles. The main manufacturers are affected by production stoppages in their factories due to the lack of components, and this situation is transferred to dealers, where the cars demanded by potential customers do not arrive. Depending on the brand and model, delivery times can exceed three months.
One consequence of the lack of vehicles in dealerships is the rise in prices, also motivated by the general rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
In the case of automobiles, it stood at 6% during the month of April in the interannual rate, which means surpassing all-time highsaccording to data published by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
However, according to carwow, the new car comparator, there are specific vehicle models, according to segments, whose price has changed very little compared to the rest of the market, to the point that they are even cheaper now.
among the urban, the Fiat Panda, the Kia Stonic and the Dacia Sandero have experienced a greater decrease in their cost. The Panda, from 14,250 euros, is 350 euros cheaper. The Stonic, with a starting price of 19,050 euros, is now 300 euros cheaper, even in its 100 or 120 hp micro-hybrid version. For its part, the Sandero, from 10,730 euros, will cost you 134 euros less, available with gasoline and LPG engines.
Among the SUVs, the Mercedes-Benz GLA, the Mazda CX-3 and the BMW X2 stand out. The first, from 39,145 euros, is now 1,655 euros cheaper, a figure to take into account, especially when it is one of the few SUVs that has dropped in price in the last year. And it is that the CX-3, from 22,295 euros, is 400 euros more expensive, but it is one of the small SUVs that has become less expensive during this crisis. It is followed by the X2, from 35,550 euros, with an increase of 800 euros.
Among the family vehicles, the Fiat 500X, the Peugeot 308 SW and the Kia Ceed Tourer stand out. The Fiat, from 18,150 euros, is 2,050 euros cheaper, a model that takes the gold medal in terms of discount. It has not been affected by inflation, as has the 308 SW, which, from €26,200, is now €1,600 cheaper, another considerable figure. In fact, the latter, a newcomer to the market, offers more technology, a completely fresh and modern design and more security, at a lower price than a year ago.. Finally, the Ceed Tourer, from 23,100 euros, is 425 euros more expensive.
Finally, among 100% electric cars, a technology on the rise and with high prices, three models stand out that have been little modified. Specifically, the Nissan Leaf, from 33,620 euros, has seen its rate reduced by 1,000 euros. And that the brand has just updated it with new equipment and semi-autonomous driving technology. The second to highlight is the Mini Cooper SE, from 34,200 euros, it is 250 euros more expensive; like the Peugeot e-208, from 32,290 euros, it is 670 euros more expensive, but they are slight increases compared to other models and the market in general.
