Used Cars Forum - 2021: sedans remain the most popular cars in the aftermarket

If in the new car market, sedans lost their leadership, giving way to estate cars, they remain leaders in the aftermarket. This was found out by the experts of AUTOSTAT agency during the preparation for Used Cars Forum – 2021. Used cars: market, programs, tools", which took place in Moscow on 21 July.

According to the agency, in January-May 2021, the share of sedans in the used passenger car market was 41% or 922 thousand purchased vehicles. A third (33%) of the total volume of the Russian aftermarket comes from  estate cars (747 thousand vehicles), and about a fifth (21%) is generated by hatchbacks (480 thousand vehicles).

Thus, the remaining body types (liftbacks, pickups, coupes, convertibles, etc.) account for 5% of the total used car market. We should remind that for 5 months of 2021, Russians purchased about 2.3 million used vehicles.
