Everything you need to know to buy a car in 2025

The car market is going through a significant transformation phase, driven by the growth of electric vehicles, technological advances and new environmental regulations. 2025 promises to be a decisive year for the industry, and for anyone considering buying a car, it is essential to be aware of the trends that could influence this decision.

The electrification of the sector continues to gain momentum, with an increasing number of electric models available and improvements to the charging infrastructure. Despite the advances, the choice between an electric, a hybrid or a combustion engine vehicle still depends on several factors, such as autonomy, maintenance costs and tax incentives. While electric vehicles are becoming increasingly affordable and efficient, plug-in hybrids remain an intermediate solution for those who still don't want to rely exclusively on the charging network.

At the same time, technology plays a key role in the purchasing decision. The latest models incorporate advanced driving assistance systems, better connectivity and remote software updates, which guarantees greater safety and a more intuitive driving experience. In addition to the traditional brands, Asian brands are gaining ground in the European market with innovative and affordable proposals, especially in the electric segment.

How to choose the best car in 2025

Choosing the ideal car should be based on each driver's individual needs. SUVs continue to be one of the most sought-after categories, but there is an increase in demand for more compact and efficient vehicles, especially in urban environments, where electrification is an increasingly viable option.

Those who travel short distances and want to reduce their fuel costs can benefit from an electric or hybrid vehicle. For those who need a car for long journeys, hybrids or thermal engines are still a relevant choice, especially given the charging infrastructure that continues to expand but still doesn't cover all needs.

Before making a decision, there are three key factors to consider:

1. Type of use for the car - Define whether it will be used mainly in the city, for long journeys or mixed use;

2. Available budget and running costs - Include not only the purchase price, but also consumption, maintenance and depreciation;

3. Industry trends and tax incentives - Consider advantages for certain types of vehicles, such as tax benefits for electric and hybrid vehicles.
