As interest in electric and hybrid vehicles grows amongst drivers in Cyprus, the local car market is adapting at a rapid pace.

Electric car registrations may not currently have a large share of the market but the interest shown in the E-Mobility Promotion Plan in Cyprus indicates that sales will increase in the near future.

Hybrid vehicles, meanwhile, are constantly expanding their momentum, occupying more than a quarter of the car market.

Hybrid vehicles

Of the 4,780 passenger saloon car registrations for the period January – February 2023, 1,317 or 27.5% were for hybrid models, recording an increase of more than 30% compared to the corresponding period last year.

Toyota takes the lead, with 434 registrations, with Nissan following, with 122. BMW is third (104), Renault is fourth (97), and Kia (65) completes the top five of hybrid saloon registrations.

Also on the list of hybrid registrations are Hyundai (64), Land Rover (44), Audi (40), Honda (39) and Volvo (38).
