You can now buy vans on the Carwow Group

• Used LCVs were added to Carwow auctions in 2023; now drivers will be able to buy their new vans, commercial 4x4s and pick-ups
• Carwow Group’s van-focused review content had 1.4 million views in 2024
• 87% of van buyers now research their next vehicle online

Drivers can now buy their vans, commercial 4x4s, pick-ups, and other light commercial vehicles (LCVs) on Carwow and its portfolio brands, including Auto Express.

Drivers have been able to sell their used vans and other LCVs to van dealers, via Carwow’s daily online auctions, since October 2023. Now, growing demand has led Carwow to enhance its LCV offering by adding new and used vans for drivers to buy.

Customers will be able to configure and order new vans via Carwow’s configurator, while new and used vans will also be searchable via the existing Carwow and Auto Express listings pages.

Insight from Carwow shows that van buyers are digital first; 87% of prospective van buyers research their potential next purchase online, while two-thirds are influenced by expert reviews.

Across the Carwow Group, interest in vans has grown substantially, with van review content across its portfolio of brands reaching 1.4 million views in 2024.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is Carwow’s official launch partner.
