What is the favorite used car of the French?

You’re certainly thinking about the prettiest car, the most reliable one, and the cheapest, and you are right. So which one do you think best meets these criteria?

Let’s end the suspense right away, the star car of the used car market in the first half of 2024 is the Renault Clio according to carVertical. A more than reliable source as this company specializes in collecting information about vehicle histories. Inquiring about the lives already lived by a car before welcoming it into your home is the best way not to make big mistakes! carVertical has thus analyzed the number of reports purchased from January to June 2024 and converted them into percentages, creating a list of the most popular cars.

The state of cars in France is doing well

The Renault Clio thus tops the historical inquiry requests with 7% of consultations, closely followed by another diamond model, the inevitable Megane at 5.8%. The most sought-after car during the same period in 2023, the Volkswagen Golf ranks third ahead of the Peugeot 308 and the Audi A4.

The result is not ultimately surprising as it follows the sales volumes. Ask an average French person what their favorite used car is without price criteria, and you can be sure it will more likely be a Ferrari or a Porsche rather than a Dacia. The real interest of the study lies rather in the popularity of French cars in the local market. The French love to buy French, that’s a certainty, and they are well supported by dynamic and creative domestic manufacturers. Thus, the Renault Captur is the model whose number of consultations has increased the most, ahead of the Toyota Yaris and a trio of Renault models consisting of the Kangoo, the Master, and the Clio.
