The car price report
The car price report is part of the Commission's monitoring of the motor vehicle
sector. It outlines the list prices of 89 best-selling car models representing 26
brands throughout the EU. The report enables consumers to compare car prices
across Europe and take advantage of the opportunities of the EU's Single Market.
