New data from AutoTrader shows the most popular online used vehicle searches in South Africa when it comes to body type.<\/p>\n

The online car marketplace noted an all-time record high of over 319 million online vehicle searches conducted during the first half of 2021.<\/p>\n

This is revealed in the group’s 2021 AutoTrader Mid-Year Industry Report, which provides precise data when it comes to the used car market in South Africa.<\/p>\n

“We have seen a 48% increase in body-type searches year-on-year indicating that there is more of a consumer need to search by body type. Consumer buying behaviour in this area has also been influenced by more brands having released various shapes of the \u201csame\u201d model,” AutoTrader said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Audi A3 for example, are both available as a hatchback or sedan, while Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux come in both single, extended and double-cabs.<\/p>\n

As the fastest growing body type globally, it was no surprise that SUVs had the highest body-type searches on AutoTrader. Single and double-cab bakkies however still continued to generate high search volumes resulting in bakkies retaining the highest consumer consideration if you combine single and double-cabs.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen leads the body-type specific searches appearing in 4 of the top 6 categories as well as dominating the top 3 for hatchbacks.<\/p>\n
