2022 Intelligence Snapshots

2022 was another year of change for the auto industry. With an eye towards
2023, we examined three Intelligence Snapshots covering the following:
• Most viewed vehicles– The most viewed vehicles on CarGurus in 2022 reflect the
  unique factors that influence each buying segment, including new, certified pre-
  owned, and non-certified pre-owned.
• EVs – Interest in EVs surged when gas prices spiked in June, however that interest,
  particularly for used EVs, looks to have been fleeting.
• Wealth & Luxury – With the large declines in the cryptocurrency and stock
  markets, the luxury market has felt some bumps. Previously high-flying models are
  seeing notable pricing declines.

Consumers viewing different vehicles for new, CPO, and non-CPO
used
• New – Consumer interest was driven by new model names: the Maverick, Bronco,
  Mustang Mach-E, GV80, GV70, and EV6 all launched in 2021 and 2022. This
  suggests that consumers are drawn by and interested in new nameplates.
• CPO - CPO offers a value-friendly door to luxury nameplates for aspirational
  shoppers. This segment was dominated by Mercedes (top-three spots) and BMW
  (3 additional spots). These are two of the most heritage-rich names in luxury, and
  their strong CPO programs make used models attractive.
• Non-CPO Used – This segment offers a more eclectic mix, but it still over-indexes
  in premium and luxury marques (7 of 10). Interest in the non-CPO used market
  shows that performance, luxury, and design are still major levers for value-driven
  shoppers.
                                                 *Methodology: CarGurus examined the total number of unique viewers
                                                 compared to the number of vehicles available. That resulting value was
                                                 compared with the average to determine a popularity ratio that represents the
                                                 increased level of interest compared to the average vehicle.

EV demand

Are declining gas prices impacting EV demand?

• Earlier in the year we looked at how rising gas prices were contributing to a surge
  in EV interest. With gas prices now down year-over-year, we looked back to see if
  the shift in gas prices was causing any decline in EV interest.
• While the influx of new EVs has helped to keep EV views high, the decline in gas
  prices looks to have reduced interest in used EVs.
• Availability of new and used EVs is less of an issue than it was over the summer
  and prices for used EVs continue to come down.

Is the stock market/crypto slowdown impacting luxury vehicles?

• Inventory levels for vehicles priced over $100k are going up at a rate faster than
  total used vehicles, suggesting that consumers may be offloading high-priced
  vehicles.
• The G-Class (G Wagon) was a staple vehicle for the crypto crowd and has seen its
  prices fall in line with the decline of Bitcoin prices.
• Teslas are in a particularly painful crunch where the decline in EV interest and
  declining stock market is creating a particular reduction in prices.

2023 Outlook

               © 2021 CarGurus, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Three trends for 2023

• Economic Outlook – With most economic forecasts predicting a slowdown or a
  recession in 2023 there is uncertainty about how consumer demand will fare due
  to rising interest rates and ongoing inflation.
• Prices – Used prices are starting to come down, however the question is now
  shifting to how much further they will decline. Also, will the decline in used prices
  combined with still high new prices lead to a switch in sales demand.
• New Inventory – With a late-year surge in new inventory, particularly for pickups,
  we’ll soon be able to tell if OEMs/dealers are serious about keeping inventory
  levels lower to keep the pricing power they’ve gained in the last two years.

Supply is improving, but demand is now the question
Vehicle production has picked up, leading to improving inventory supply. However, with economic uncertainty on
the horizon, the question is how strong consumer demand will be in 2023.

Prices are declining, but economy uncertainty could impact demand
While there remains a chance that declining prices could stoke more demand, it’s still likely that used sales will see
a further small decline next year.
