Used car buying trends in Kochi based on Cars24’s internal data

Petrol continues to lead the used car market in Kochi

As per Cars24’s internal data, petrol cars account for 91% of used car demand in Kochi in 2025. This dominance reflects how the city is driven on a daily basis. Most travel in Kochi involves short-distance movement between areas like Vyttila, Edappally, Kakkanad, Fort Kochi and MG Road, with frequent slow-moving traffic and repeated signal stops. In such conditions, petrol vehicles are preferred for smoother low-speed response, lower upfront maintenance complexity, and convenience in dense city movement.

Diesel cars hold a 7% share of the market. While smaller in proportion, diesel demand remains concentrated among buyers who regularly travel outside city limits toward Thrissur, Alappuzha, Kottayam or along longer NH corridors where sustained speeds and higher monthly running make diesel more practical.

CNG accounts for 2% of used car demand in Kochi. The limited share aligns with the relatively sparse CNG refuelling network in the region, which directly influences purchase decisions despite interest in lower running costs.

Hatchbacks remain the most practical choice for Kochi drivers

Cars24 data shows that hatchbacks dominate the used cars in Kochi market with a 54% share in 2025, despite a 9% year-on-year dip. Narrow residential roads, heavy commercial traffic and limited parking in areas like Fort Kochi, Palarivattom and Kaloor make compact vehicles more practical for everyday use.

Sedans account for 5% market share, reflecting a 16% year-on-year decline, indicating shifting preference toward compact and higher-ground-clearance vehicles.

SUVs hold a 10% share, witnessing a 6% year-on-year drop, but continue to attract families who travel frequently outside the city or require additional road presence and comfort.

Most preferred used car brands in Kochi

Hyundai leads the used car market in Kochi with a 25% share, followed by Tata at 21% and Maruti Suzuki at 15%. Buyers often prefer these brands for strong service networks across Kerala, reliability in humid coastal conditions, and balanced performance for both city and highway use.

Most preferred used car models in Kochi

Among individual models, the Tata Tiago (9%), Renault Kwid (8%), and Tata Nexon (6%) are among the most preferred choices in Kochi. This reflects a mix of demand for compact city cars and practical compact SUVs that balance comfort with urban drivability.
