The rising demand for SUVs in Australia, driven by their comfort and appeal, is a key trend in the used car market. SUVs accounted for two-thirds of new vehicle sales in 2022, indicating their increasing popularity. This trend is expected to translate into higher demand for used SUVs in the future, shaping the dynamics of the pre-owned vehicle market.
Further, there is a rising preference for certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles in Australia. CPO cars come with benefits like improved manufacturer warranty and maintenance perks, along with detailed vehicle history reports. These benefits provide confidence and support to buyers when purchasing pre-owned vehicles.
The main advantage of pre-owned vehicles is their affordability, appealing to a wide range of consumers, particularly first-time buyers and those on tight budgets.
