Car Dealerships Report 13% Rise in Q3 Vehicle Registrations

The Jordanian Association of Car Agents and Distributors confirmed that the new car market in Jordan is beginning to regain its balance during the third quarter of 2026. Registrations of vehicles over the first nine months of the year have approached their levels from the same period in 2024, with a slight decline of no more than 1.6%. Vehicle sales have significantly increased since mid-year, with monthly registrations rising from approximately 3,135 vehicles in the first half to about 5,000 vehicles in the third quarter, representing a 13% growth compared to the same period in 2024. The market has also shown diversification in the number of active brands, increasing to 116 brands, while the market share of the top five brands has decreased from 64.6% to 60.1%. Data indicates a shift in the types of vehicles purchased, as the percentage of electric cars has dropped from 48.4% to 34.8%, while the share of hybrid vehicles has increased to 37.6%, and gasoline and diesel vehicles to 27.7%. Most of these changes are attributed to consumers' preferences for vehicles that come with maintenance services and warranties, as well as the impact of regulatory measures that prevent the entry of electric cars older than three years or classified as damaged in their country of origin. The association emphasized that technical specifications requirements to protect consumers and ensure vehicle quality, alongside the growth of official import channels that support regional trade, all contribute to market stability. It called for relying on official data when assessing the sector’s performance to ensure accurate indicators, and for continued publication of periodic reports to enhance transparency and provide reliable information for decision-makers and consumers.
