Overview
- LA NACION’s November 13 price rankings list the JMEV Easy 3 as the cheapest 0km car at US$16,900 and show that all ten of the cheapest new models are manufactured outside Argentina.
- ACARA reported 45,965 vehicle registrations in October 2026, a 12% year‑on‑year decline that signals weakening demand across the market.
- LA NACION’s hybrid ranking places the Suzuki Swift Hybrid and the MG3 Hybrid+ as the least expensive electrified options and shows eight of the ten cheapest hybrids are SUVs with Chinese brands occupying five spots.
- Five of the ten cheapest 0km models have list prices published in US dollars and LA NACION converted those using Banco Nación’s $1,515/US$ reference, which means exchange‑rate moves can materially change peso comparisons.
- The tariff‑exempt quota for electrified vehicles has boosted imports and increased competition from Chinese marques, a shift that can lower sticker prices for buyers but may put further pressure on local production and make final costs highly sensitive to dealer discounts and currency swings.
