In the first seven months of 2024, the registrations of second-hand cars registered for the first time in Romania reached 182,762 units, an increase of +22.41% compared to the similar period in 2023, when 149,298 units were registered.

Regarding the ranking of new car brands in the first seven months of 2024, Dacia leads the way with 29,635 registered units. Toyota ranks second with 8,275 units, followed by Renault with 6,571 units and Skoda with 6,416 units. Hyundai and Volkswagen complete the top with 5,930 and 5,528 units, respectively. Also, Ford, Mercedes, Suzuki and BMW are in the ranking, with 4,085, 3,209, 3,103 and 3,024 registered units respectively.
This evolution of new and second-hand car registrations reflects changes in consumer preferences and the dynamics of the car market in Romania. The drop since July 2024 for new cars can be seen as a temporary fluctuation, while the significant increase in used car registrations suggests a long-term trend. Analyzing these data, it is obvious that the car market in Romania continues to develop and adapt to consumer demands.
