Production fell by 19.6% compared to October (47,204) and by 29.3% compared to November 2024 (53,701). In the accumulated total of the first eleven months of 2025, the sector produced 464,408 vehicles, a figure that is just 0.9% below the volume recorded in the same period of the previous year (468,553 units).

Rodrigo Pérez Graziano, president of ADEFA, pointed out the disparity that existed between production, exports, and wholesale sales, although he emphasized that the accumulated total for the year had «a certain stability».
«The lower availability of production days, modifications in industrial plans in some plants, and the reordering of the market influenced the monthly performance of production. Even so, the sector maintained activity levels that, in the accumulated total for the year, show a certain stability in production and a significant growth in wholesale sales, although with a setback in exports».
