Operating from the former Nissan facilities in Barcelona's Zona Franca, the brand has quickly become a notable player. In 2025, Ebro registered a remarkable 12,459 units, signaling a strong debut. The brand's trajectory points towards continued growth and a compelling offering for Spanish car buyers.

Within Ebro's lineup, the S400 model is rapidly gaining prominence. Last year, it achieved 2,873 registrations and dominated sales in the latter months. This trend has continued into 2026, with 1,706 units registered in January alone. The S400 now accounts for a substantial 54.6% of Ebro’s total sales, outperforming even the previously popular S700 model, which registered only 410 units in the same month.
