OPENLANE expands offering with young, low-mileage cars under the name “OPENLANE Next-to-New” in Europe
Tienen, March 3rd, 2025 – OPENLANE, Europe’s digital marketplace for used cars, is expanding its vehicle portfolio with “OPENLANE Next-to-New” cars, an exclusive selection of young, low-mileage cars. The expansion aligns with OPENLANE’s purpose to make used car wholesale easy and responds to growing market demand.
Traditionally, OPENLANE has been the go-to marketplace for 4-5 year-old end-of-lease vehicles with an average mileage of 160,000 km, typically sold across any border in Europe in more than 50 countries. However, recognizing the increasing demand for younger, low-mileage vehicles, OPENLANE is now offering a growing number of vehicles that are under 2 years old and have a maximum of 50,000 km.
The OPENLANE Next-to-New offer allows automotive professionals such as local traders, dealers and dealer groups to access a new segment of high-quality, next-to-new vehicles at competitive prices. This curated inventory includes vehicles in like-new condition, with fewer than 50 kilometers, factory-original specifications and pending first registration, sourced from a diverse range of suppliers, including manufacturers, importers, distributors and trading companies. These like-new vehicles are mostly available at fixed prices in a 24/7 sale, eliminating the need for bidding and ensuring a quick transaction.
OPENLANE’s customers can easily discover “OPENLANE Next-to-New” vehicles by using the “Find cars” tab and selecting the “Focus on” filter on the openlane.eu marketplace. With every purchase, OPENLANE customers continue to benefit from a first-in-class multilingual customer support.
With “OPENLANE Next-to-New”, OPENLANE is setting a new benchmark in the European digital car auction industry. “By expanding our portfolio to include younger, low-mileage vehicles, we ensure that both buyers and sellers can capitalize on a high-demand market segment with ease and confidence”, said Grainne Van Berkum, President at OPENLANE Europe.
Today, up to 20% of OPENLANE’s monthly vehicle offering consists of Next-to-New vehicles, reflecting the strong demand and rapid growth of this segment.
