New cars are still expensive, but as we saw in our July price report, there are already several months in which prices are moderating. We are not talking about bargains that are impossible to refuse – we may never see them again – but it is true that since March the average prices have gradually relaxed.
It is clear that the production of vehicles is normalizing and there is already a stock of most models, especially those made in Europe. That helps make dealer discounts bigger than last month. If then they were 9.07%, now they reach 9.35%. They keep growing. As usual, there are huge differences between segments:
| Segment | Bodywork | average discount June 2023 |
average discount July 2023 |
| TO | microurban | 6.3% | 6.8% |
| microurban cabrio | 4.8% | 6.7% | |
| B. | utility | 8.6% | 8.3% |
| small SUV | 7.9% | 7.6% | |
| C. | compact | 8.4% | 7.6% |
| compact sedans | 7.9% | 7.4% | |
| compact coupes | 4.3% | 4.4% | |
| family compacts | 10.6% | 10.5% | |
| convertible compact | 4.5% | 4.4% | |
| compact minivans | 11.9% | 11.9% | |
| compact SUVs | 7.8% | 7.7% | |
| D. | medium sedans | 7.7% | 7.8% |
| middle relatives | 8.6% | 8.7% | |
