After a period of high inflation and rising interest rates, private leasing rebounded in 2025. That trend now looks set to continue. Statistics from the industry organization Mobility Sweden, which was reviewed by private leasing company Carplus, show a continued increase into early 2026.

During the first quarter, 13,220 cars were privately leased. Private leasing thus accounted for 54 percent of all newly registered cars in the private market.

About half of these were electric cars, compared to 43 percent during the same period last year, the figures show.
