Hybrid tops Aston Barclay used car desirability index for second month running
The Toyota Prius become the second consecutive hybrid to top Aston Barclay’s monthly used car desirability index.
The Prius was the most in-demand model across Aston Barclay’s physical and online auction channels in November
The Prius was the most in-demand model across its physical and online auction channels in November and follows hot on the heels of the Hyundai Ioniq topping the charts in October.
The November data also underscores the rising demand for low- and zero-emission vehicles already seen in Q3.
Joining the Prius in the top 25 were the Lexus NX and RX, Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq, Tesla Model 3 and Jaguar E-Pace.
Demand for premium SUVs and saloons also remains strong – they accounted for 15 out of the top 25, with some nearly new models making more than their original list price.
Martin Potter, Aston Barclay’s managing director – customer, said: “Our latest index highlights the growing desire for electric and hybrids in the used car market, despite prices far outweighing equivalent petrol and diesel cars. It’s important that EVs and hybrids stamp their mark on the used market over the coming years as we transition towards 2030.”
