Rabla 2022 program: what happens to the car market and what Romanians prefer in terms of cars

Thanks to the Rabla Program, the Romanian car market continued to grow in 2022. Here are the figures.

According to DRPCIV data, the month of March brought a total increase in the car market of 25.93%, with a total volume of 15,450 registered vehicles, with more than 3,000 more than last year, in the same month. The car segment registered a volume of 11,025 units, which represents an increase of not less than 40.25% compared to March 2021.

Thus, for the first time in the last two years, the 2019 level of the car market is exceeded. In terms of the best-selling brands, in March, they were Dacia, with 2494 units, which managed a 40% increase over last year’s volume, followed by Ford, which almost sales doubled, by 983 units, compared to 518, which was recorded in 2020. Toyota is 865 units, 50% more, and Hyundai follows, with 863 units, 58% more.

Moreover, the Dacia Duster was the best-selling car (according to registrations), with 678 units. This shows that people want this model a lot, but the price is what keeps Romanians away. In second place was the electric model Spring (637 units), which returns with good sales, once Rabla began to offer the subsidy equivalent to half of its price. The popular Dacia Logan finishes the podium with 612 units, followed by Ford Puma (514 units) and Sandero (435 units).

In conclusion, after three months of this year, the market for new cars has grown by almost 40%, with a total volume of 29,000 registered units.

Dacia fans are crowding at the beginning of the year: they are not even waiting for Rabla 2022

While the global car market is still trying to adapt to the pressure of the semiconductor crisis, Dacia seems to be winning, after winning. It was not even necessary to start the Rabla 2022 program, for the Romanians to rush to become owners.

In March, statistics on Romanian registrations in Romania came online. On this occasion, we see that the car market in Mioritic lands is recovering. We have not yet returned to the pre-pandemic period or the summer months of 2021, but the situation is gratifying and the trend is optimistic.

In February of this year, on the Romanian territory, there was an advance of 25% on the area of ​​car registrations and 15.34% on the other motorized ones, from trucks and trucks to motorcycles. In clear figures, we are talking about 8,616 cars registered last month in the country, an increase of about 2000 compared to the same month in 2021 or 24.92%.
