The Renault Grand Scenic took the award for the fastest selling used car in November. The 2015 diesel variant beat out the competition after taking a show stopping 17 days on average to leave UK forecourts.
The Grand Scenic’s co-star, the Renault Kadjar, was runner up with the 2015 diesel model just missing out on the top spot by one day – taking 18 days to turn.
Elsewhere, November saw Ford taking nearly half of the regional titles with wins in Northern Ireland (2015 Ford Fiesta Hatchback Petrol Manual – 30 days), Wales (2015 Ford Fiesta Hatchback Petrol Manual – 39 days), West Midlands (2015 Ford Focus Hatchback Petrol Manual – 28 days), East England (2016 Ford Kuga SUV Diesel Manual – 23 days), North East (2015 Ford Kuga SUV Diesel Manual – 33 days) and Scotland (2016 Ford Kuga SUV Diesel Manual – 19 days).
Ford’s ever popular hatchbacks, the Focus and Fiesta, also featured in the top 10 number of ad views on autotrader.co.uk with the Focus taking 4th place with 1.90% of ad views and the Fiesta in 7th with 1.79%.
Last month’s fastest selling used car, the 2015 Hyundai Tucson SUV Diesel Manual maintained its title in London and the South.
Karolina Edwards-Smajda, Auto Trader’s Director of Commercial Products, said: ““With obstacles like WLTP, Brexit and consumer’s confusion over fuel; 2018 has been one of the most challenging years on record for retailers. But despite this the market has shown tremendous resilience with both the new and used car market remaining relatively buoyant.â€
“ As Christmas closes in, there is still time to plan out what are going to be the most desirable vehicles in the new year. Critical to this is taking a data driven approach with systems such as i-Control, Auto Trader’s data management solution, providing the most accurate and up to date market view, enabling retailers to maximise their stock turn and profits in 2019.â€
Hitting targets will always be determined by how quickly a retailer can turn their stock around and using data is the key to speeding it up. Users of i-Control, Auto Trader’s data management solution, took an average of just 29 days to sell a car in November, compared to a market average of 53% faster than those that don’t use the data management tool.
