Women continue to drive demand for used cars

Women have been driving in metro cities for quite some time, and the country is witnessing an increasing number of women buying used cars, even in tier 1 and tier 2 cities. Recent insights by Spinny show an increase in the number of women buying cars from 28% to 32% in the first half of 2022. The reason for this growth can be attributed to the fact that more women are now financially independent and that great decision-makers prefer personal mobility over public transportation.

The report stated that most of the women consumers are relatively aged between 30 to 40 years. According to Spinny, the growing number of women buyers account to certain trends such as increased preference towards vehicle ownership & financing options, automatic and petrol variants cars, & cars less than five years old. In addition to this, the brand has seen increasing interest from the tier -2 market.

Women in these cities prefer buying the country’s top brands and car models such as Hyundai i20, Tata Nexon, Maruti Baleno, Maruti Swift, and Renault Kwid. When it comes to model types, hatchbacks are most popular with female buyers, followed by SUVs.
