The market price of pickup trucks and semi-large sedans is expected to drop significantly in May. K Car, Korea's largest direct used car platform company, analyzed the average market price of 740 models distributed in the domestic used car market within 10 years and predicted that domestic used pickup trucks and semi-large sedans will fall by 1.2% and 2%, respectively. Domestic and imported cars are expected to fall by 1.0%, respectively.

The most eye-catching vehicle is the pickup truck. Expectations for the launch of Kia Tasman and KGM Musso EV are expected to affect the existing pickup truck market. In particular, Chevrolet's Colorado and Real New Colorado are expected to see their average prices fall 5.8% and 5.4%, respectively, compared to the previous month. Colorado's used car market price has fallen to the mid-to-late 20 million won compared to the price of a new car worth 48 million won.

Real New Colorado offers powerful output with a displacement of about 1,000 cc higher than that of Tasman and a six-cylinder engine. On top of that, the weight of the tolerance is 2,035kg, which is about 35kg lighter than Tasman. It seems that it is time to purchase a pickup truck with a light body's high-emission power at a reasonable price.













The prices of semi-large sedans Kia K8 and Hyundai Grandeur (GN7) are expected to fall by 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively, compared to the previous month. Light vehicles were on the rise last month, but are expected to remain flat this month, falling 0.3%. Casper, in particular, is showing great popularity in the light vehicle market, with an average sales speed of 16 days.

Electric vehicle prices remained flat, down 0.1% from the previous month. Popular models such as the Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 rose about 1%, while high-performance models such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, Volvo C40 Recharge and BMW i5 saw their market prices fall by around 2%. It seems that preference for expensive electric vehicles worth more than 50 million won, excluding Tesla, is decreasing.

"The used car market tends to react sensitively when the main model is newly released," said Cho Eun-hyung, an analyst at K-Car PM Team. "In particular, competitive pickup trucks are released and the used car market is expected to grow rapidly."













Meanwhile, K Car, which was listed on the KOSPI market in October 2021, is the country's largest direct used car platform company with a 24-year history.
