Your absolutely correct, my mistake, The Portuguese car market closed December with contrasting results between brands, revealing significant increases, sharp declines and relevant changes in the monthly ranking. Official registration data from ACAP show a month marked by strong volatility, in a typical context of year-end, commercial campaigns and anticipation of 2026. Renault leads December with significant growth Renault was the best-selling brand in Portugal in December, registering 3,711 vehicles, a very significant increase of 125.3% compared to the same month last year. This performance placed the French brand at the top of the monthly ranking, clearly standing out from the competition. Peugeot maintains high volume but declines compared to 2024 Peugeot registered 1,908 registrations in December. Although it remains among the brands with the highest monthly volume, the result represents a 34.1% year-on-year decline, reflecting a slowdown at the end of the year.
