Three subspecies of the Granada Hare are known, which vary in colour and size.[1]

This is the most abundant subspecies found in Andalusia, Extremadura, Meseta Central, Valencia and the south of Aragon and Catalonia.
- Lepus granatensis gallaecius
This subspecies with a darker coat occurs in the northwest of the Iberian peninsula, in Galicia.
