De ce nu mai cumpără românii mașini noi? Prețul mediu a crescut cu 40%, la 29.000 €, în 6 ani • Newsweek România

A recent study highlights that rising car prices, which have increased by 40% to an average of €29,000, are a major reason why Romanians are buying fewer new cars. The French market has seen a significant decline in new car registrations, attributed to regulatory and fiscal policies pushing for more expensive electric vehicles. This trend is mirrored in Romania, where the average salary does not match the rising costs, leading many to opt for used cars instead. The study indicates that the shift towards electrification and new safety standards has further inflated vehicle prices, particularly affecting smaller city cars, which have seen a dramatic drop in sales.
