People wishing to upgrade are choosing pre-owned cars from Hyundai and Honda, especially Hyundai Creta, it informed.

The young age group of 25 to 35-year-olds seems to be accounting for most of the buyers with the 30 to 40-year-olds looking to upgrade cars. “In the case of fuel preferences, people prefer petrol cars due to the diesel scrappage policy with 75 per cent of buyers opting for petrol used cars. Most buyers are purchasing cars for family use. Consequently, many are buying larger cars such as SUVs and sedans as they aim to upgrade cars better suiting their family needs,” the report said.
