CAR Group

CAR Group operates a portfolio of regional online marketplaces that connect vehicle buyers and sellers, combined with vehicle data and valuation services. Its marketplaces aggregate inventory from dealers and private sellers, provide discovery and research tools for buyers, and sell access, visibility and leads to commercial customers. Parallel data businesses package vehicle specification and valuation datasets into feeds, APIs and tools that integrate into customer workflows.

Value is created by aggregating demand and supply in each local vehicle market, standardising listings and data, and lowering search and transaction costs for both buyers and sellers. Commercial customers gain recurring access to targeted audiences, sales leads, analytics and trusted data, enabling more efficient stock turn, pricing and credit decisions. CAR Group scales this model by reusing technology and data assets across geographies while tailoring marketplace brands and operations to local markets.

CAR Group is an Australia-headquartered, ASX 50 company that operates digital marketplaces for vehicles and related data businesses across multiple regions. It owns and operates online classified platforms for cars and other vehicles in Australia, South Korea, North America, Chile and Brazil, alongside vehicle valuation and data services in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia.

The group generates revenue primarily from business customers such as vehicle dealers, OEMs, finance providers and other automotive advertisers through subscription packages, listing and lead fees, priority placements and display advertising. It also licenses vehicle data and valuation services to dealers, lenders, insurers and other enterprises, with some incremental revenue from private seller listings and transactional services around inspections and finance referrals.
