AUTO24.africa, a business that sells cars, has started to grow by opening up in four new African markets. This is what a statement was given to reporters. South Africa, Rwanda, Senegal, and Morocco are some of the new areas.
Auto24 is a new marketplace for used cars opening in September 2022. It is a collaboration between Africa, a global car marketplace, and Stellantis, the parent company of Maserati, Peugeot, Fiat, and Chrysler, among other brands. The company gives people who want to buy or sell used cars a place to do business.
After what the company says was a very successful first year in Ivory Coast, this change happened. The company says that the move makes its site the best place to sell used cars from many different brands on the whole continent. After getting money from Stellantis last year, AUTO24.africa is changing the African car industry by giving customers services that have never been done before.
CEO Axel Peyrière says that the team is obsessed with its focus on customers, so it has always tried to provide the best service and be the best in the car dealership space.
We are obsessed with putting the customer first. Our goal is not only to be the best on the market but also to ensure that every person who buys or sells a used car gets the best service possible. This growth shows how hard we’ve worked.

New imported cars are popular in Africa. The lack of automotive production hubs and enterprises on the continent drives this. Unfortunately, most of its inhabitants couldn’t afford new cars, so they bought secondhand ones. However, buying old cars is difficult. The buyer has no guarantee, no refund policy if the vehicle is inferior, and many other issues.
However, Auto24 is fixing these issues. It offers unmatched and exclusive services, including a five-day refund policy, a six-month warranty, one-year maintenance, and one-year insurance for all automobiles. The portal offers convenient funding through numerous partners. These perks are unprecedented in many African countries and redefine car ownership.
The company wants to be Africa’s premier multi-brand certified pre-owned automobile retailer, so this year’s expansion is part of that goal. The platform seeks to add new features and capabilities to improve the car buying and selling experience with trust and transparency.
Since its 2016 foundation in Australia, Africa Group has pioneered online automobile classifieds in Sub-Saharan Africa. Africa runs and expands Africa’s major automotive marketplaces. In more than 45 countries and serving over 1 billion people, it has helped millions of pre-owned automobile buyers and sellers trade safely and efficiently for five years.
Stellantis, AUTO24.africa’s principal investor, continues to support its ambitious journey, which corresponds with Stellantis’ strategic plan DARE FORWARD 2030, by expanding our mobility solutions to satisfy African customers’ demands. Stellantis Senior Vice President of Pre-Owned Vehicles Xavier Duchemin said the investment in Africar Group to develop Auto24 underlines its aim to grow its used vehicle business globally in a bold, pragmatic, and agile way at Auto24’s launch last year.

It will follow Stellantis’ other used vehicle ecosystem investments. Using Stellantis, the entrepreneurs will speed their growth while keeping the originality, vitality, and agility of start-ups, he claimed.
The new countries’ platforms will be unique in offering both international and local languages, reaching more clients. These markets’ platforms will let customers reserve and secure their favourite car before test-driving and buying. Auto24 claims this unique product raises the bar and improves customer satisfaction.
