Hyundai’s i40 is this month’s fastest selling used car in the UK, spending an average of 28 days on dealer forecourts, according to research conducted by Glass’s.
Other quick sellers include the Audi Qs (31.1 days) and Audi S3 (31.2 days).
The slowest sellers was led by the Mercedes R-Class (104.7 days), Ford Street Ka (97.8 days) and Nissan Leaf (95.5 days).
“The i40 is incredibly good value for money and it seems that retail promotions have created quite a demand for the car – this has led to stock levels dropping, demand increasing and days to sale improving quickly,” said Rupert Pontin, Glass’s chief car editor.
“Audi takes three of the top 10 spots, which isn’t unexpected – it just confirms the popularity of the brand in the new and used markets. What is interesting is that Audi’s main rivals, Mercedes and BMW, are conspicuously absent from the top ten and even the top 20 sellers.”
