This small yet incredibly roomy car was August’s fastest seller on Carwow
September 11, 2025 by Carwow staff
These were Carwow’s fastest-selling cars in August, and taking the top spot this month was a small hatchback with an airy cabin.
On average, it took just 3.8 days for Kia Venga owners to sell their cars through Carwow’s online auctions in August. That means if you list your car on a Monday, you could have money in your account by Thursday.
Dealers snapped up this roomy small car in record time, knowing their customers like its impressive value for money. This makes it a much more affordable option than alternatives such as the Hyundai ix20 and the Renault Captur.
The Venga is also easy to climb in and out of, has decent equipment, and comes with an impressive warranty. This makes it a good choice for an affordable used car.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
