Greek automotive market trends: hybrids, EVs, and budget options

The Greek automotive market is seeing various trends regarding fuel efficiency, vehicle types, and pricing. Full hybrid models are emerging as efficient options for low consumption without the need for daily charging. Leading models in this category include the Toyota Aygo X Hybrid, which reports a consumption of 3.7 liters per 100 km, as well as the Toyota Yaris Hybrid and Mazda2 Hybrid.

Economic studies, such as those from the Institut de l'économie pour le climat (I4CE), suggest a shifting landscape for vehicle ownership. While keeping an older petrol car is often the most economical choice, data indicates that under certain conditions, transitioning to a used electric vehicle may become more cost-effective over time due to lower energy and maintenance costs.

In the budget segment, the Hyundai i20 remains a competitive option for consumers seeking modern features under €20,000. The 1.0 T-GDi Style version offers a turbo engine and essential equipment, maintaining a price point that appeals to small families and urban drivers.
