      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/b86b351e-04fc-4440-ba5a-5a8467bdc36a_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>During 2025, leasing companies registered 351,287 vehicles in Spain, representing a 4.51% increase over the previous year's 336,142, according to data published by the Spanish Vehicle Leasing Association (AER). However, the growth rate of vehicle acquisitions for leasing is lower than the overall growth of new vehicle registrations in Spain, as a total of 1.36 million vehicles were sold in the country during 2025, a 12.33% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, leasing accounted for 25.74% of total vehicle registrations in 2025, meaning that one in four new vehicles was acquired by leasing companies, compared to 27.67% in 2024. This weight loss coincides with an exceptionally good year for total vehicle sales in the state. The vehicle segment where leasing has the greatest presence is that of commercial vehicles, vans, and <em>pick up</em>where the sector holds 42.59% of the market.</p>]]></description>
