How we calculate it

Same assumptions as the rest of the site, with prices in Madrid

  • Each car is the best-selling version of each model sold new since 2020; under Electric and Hybrids, its best-selling version with that powertrain.
  • 15,000 km a year for 5 years, bought new. Real consumption: the type-approval figure plus the real-world gap measured by the European Commission.
  • Fuel: the average of the province's filling stations on 15/10/2026. Electricity: 0,15 €/kWh, charging at home (rapid chargers cost several times more).
  • Madrid's road tax (2026 tax bylaw), with its discounts for electric cars and hybrids.
  • ITV at the Comunidad de Madrid fee. Insurance, maintenance and tyres: our own estimates, the same across Spain.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest car to run in Madrid?+

The Dacia Spring (Electric 65 CV): 85 € a month at 15,000 km a year, including insurance, road tax, ITV, maintenance and tyres. Not counting depreciation.

And the cheapest if I can't charge a car at home?+

Without a plug, the Dacia Logan (1.0 GLP (bifuel) 91 CV): 169 € a month. Electric cars come out so cheap because we assume home charging at 0,15 €/kWh; at public rapid chargers it costs much more.

How much does it cost to run a car in Madrid?+

On average, 249 € a month for cars sold new, with our assumptions: the same as the average of the 52 provinces. It ranks 21 of 52, from cheapest to most expensive.

Why does it cost different amounts in each province?+

Because of fuel prices, each council's road tax and each region's ITV fee. We calculate insurance, maintenance and tyres the same across Spain, so real differences may be bigger.

Which road tax did you use?+

Madrid's, from its 2026 tax bylaw: 59,00 € a year for a car of 8 to 11.99 fiscal horsepower. It may differ in other municipalities in the province.
