Our take
Carwow believes there should be a better way to buy cars than the traditional method of visiting local dealerships and negotiating prices. The platform has simplified the car-buying process by allowing customers to easily find the exact car they want, including the preferred combination of optional extras while eliminating the need for haggling. This has made Carwow a popular choice for consumers looking for a more transparent and hassle-free experience.
As the largest web platform for new car sales in the UK, Germany, and Spain, Carow has grown rapidly through innovative marketing strategies. One of its key tactics is leveraging it massive YouTube following, which boasts nearly 10M subscribers. The videos feature a mix of in-depth car reviews and entertaining drag races, helping to engage potential customers and drive traffic to the platform.
Over 10M customers now use the platform to buy and sell cars and in 2023, nearly £3B worth of cars were bought through the platform. Carwow continues to grow and innovate, and with its strong customer base and expanding partnerships, it's ready for continued success.
