This week, the figures were announced about the search behavior and preferences of consumers who were in the market for a second-hand car in 2024. That’s delicious. Automotive MediaVentions, of which Gaspedal.nl and AutoTrack are part, announced the dates at the beginning of this week. In addition to differences between men and women, there are also similarities when they check options that should be on their next car. Both sexes opt for a towbar, navigation, air conditioning and a panoramic roof. Volkswagen dominates Very convincing: the dominance of Volkswagen. There are three VWs in the top five among both men and women. The Golf is number 1, and the Polo and Tiguan are also included. Among the men, the top five is completed by the BMW 3-series and Ford Focus. Women put the Toyota Yaris and the Nissan Qashqai in their top five. Hybrid is on the rise In the past year, petrol was once again the most popular fuel type selected by used car seekers. In second place is a hybrid powertrain with a significant increase in searches of 30 percent. still diesel in position three, electric in fourth and LPG in five. That order was exactly the same in 2023. Preferably a station wagon. The station wagon has extended the top spot as the most sought-after body variants in 2024. The SW was also the most popular in 2023. But the SUV is advancing, and not just a little bit. An increase of no less than 15.3 percent puts the SUV in third place, just after the hatchback. The sedan and the MPV complete the top five. And that means that the order of the Top 5 of 2024 is exactly the same as the top 5 in 2023. And then the colors. Not so festive perhaps, but steadfast. From number 1 to number 5 the favorite colors are: black, white, blue, gray and red. That is exactly the same as the year before. Most searched used cars 2024 (men) VW Golf, 2. BMW 3-series, 3.
