Mixed views on March, but signs point to ‘normalcy’ in wholesale vehicle market

Auto Remarketing

Wholesale vehicle prices last month were down double-digit-percentages from March 2023, but whether the close of the first quarter represented a strong spring market is up for some debate.

CarExpert

This indicates Australian-market models will feature the same powertrain, which appears to differ only modestly in terms of outputs from the system used in the Chinese-market Roewe D5X DMH, instead of the lower-range PHEV system found in the Chinese-market Roewe eRX5.
