Hybrid vehicle registrations continue to gain weight in Ibiza, according to the latest statistics published by Ibestat last week. Between January and November 2025, 1,076 vehicles with this propulsion were registered on the island, which represents an increase of 37% over the same period last year and consolidates hybrids as one of the main alternatives to traditional engines.
This growth has significantly widened the gap to diesel vehicles, which continue to lose market share on the island. While in 2024 hybrids overtook diesel for the first time with a difference of 112 registrations, in 2025 the gap has almost doubled, with only 541 diesel vehicles registered up to November. This change takes place in a context marked by European restrictions on this type of motorization and by the progressive renewal of the vehicle fleet, according to Diario de Ibiza.
Diesel engines have thus accumulated a year-on-year decline of 7.5%, a drop that confirms a long-term trend. Eight years ago, Ibiza registered 1,548 diesel registrations in the first eleven months of the year, while today the figure has fallen to just over a third. Gasoline vehicles are also on the decline, with 2,354 registrations, 1.38% less than in 2024 and a far cry from the pre-crisis levels of 2008.
As for electric vehicles, their evolution continues to be irregular. Although registrations have increased by 97.2% over the previous year, reaching 213 units, the growth loses strength if analyzed in the medium term. In 2021, 247 electric vehicles were registered on the island and, since then, the figures have fluctuated downwards, conditioned by factors such as their high price and limited range, despite technological improvements. In contrast, hybrids have managed to consolidate and are already far ahead of diesel.
The situation is different in Formentera, where the market shows a more contained evolution. Registrations of gasoline vehicles fell to 231 units, down 51% year-on-year, while diesel vehicles remain fairly stable, with an increase of 3.7% and 28 registrations. Hybrids continued to rise, with 113 registrations and growth of 98%, while electric vehicles remained stagnant, with 13 registrations, the same as the previous year.
Overall, Ibiza recorded 4,627 vehicle registrations in the first eleven months of the year, 9.4% more than in 2024 and the best figure since 2019, although still far from the more than 8,000 units prior to the 2008 crisis. The increase is mainly concentrated in passenger cars, with 2,498 registrations, and motorcycles, with 1,403 registrations. In Formentera, on the other hand, total registrations fell to 396, down 31.4%, with a rebound in passenger cars and a historic drop in motorcycles and mopeds, to the lowest level since 2003, except for the year of the pandemic.
