■ Trends in April 2026
1. Inquiries increased by approximately 1.5 times year-on-year. Trust and recognition for the service expanded.
In April 2026, the overall auction market temporarily calmed down after the busy season in March, but inquiries for Selca recorded a significant increase of approximately 150% compared to the same month last year. This result indicates an increase in users who want to sell their cars at a higher price through the "bidding-up mechanism," not just traditional trade-ins or dealer appraisals, and an expansion of service recognition.
2. Trends by Body Type: SUVs remain undisputed No. 1, practical vehicles also expand their share.
By body type, SUVs and crossover vehicles still account for approximately 30% of the total, maintaining the top position. Meanwhile, minivans/one-box vehicles, Kei-RV (light RV) vehicles, and hatchbacks showed a low rate of decrease, below the overall average (-28.2%). This suggests that the demand for replacing vehicles with practical ones during the new lifestyle season continued in April.
3. Revitalization of Niche Segments: Emergence of light trucks and bonnet vans.
Although outside the ranking, light trucks increased their listings by approximately 36% month-on-month, and an increase in bonnet van listings was also confirmed. A major feature of this month is the active replacement of vehicles in specific markets such as commercial use, hobbies/leisure, and delivery needs.
■ Noteworthy Topics by Car Model
1. "Alphard" and "Prado" remain the undisputed top two.
"Alphard," synonymous with luxury minivans, and "Land Cruiser Prado," known for its high resale value, ranked 1st and 2nd in auction listings. Especially, Land Cruiser Prado remains a stable pillar of listings and successful bids, even as the overall market supply calms down.
2. Rapid rise of the new "Land Cruiser 250."
Notably, the "Land Cruiser 250" made a significant leap, rising from 12th place in March to 7th in April. It maintained almost the same number of listings despite the overall decrease in listings, suggesting that new car supply has started to reach users, and its influx into the auction market is becoming full-fledged.
3. Rise in rankings for "Hiace Van" and "Voxy."
"Hiace Van," which boasts strong popularity for both commercial and leisure use, rose from 6th to 4th place, and "Voxy," popular among families, rose from 10th to 5th place. Especially for Hiace Van, it is believed that active listings due to replacement are occurring against the backdrop of improved supply conditions in recent times.
■ Future Outlook
Looking at past trends, after a temporary calming of listings in April, transactions tend to become active again towards the Golden Week holidays and leisure season in May.
Similar patterns are expected in 2026, but with the expansion of Selca Auction's recognition and buyer base, more active bidding is anticipated. Especially for high-demand SUVs and minivans, the maintenance and improvement of successful bid prices are expected.
Furthermore, the trends in practical segments such as light trucks and wagon-type vehicles, which are increasing demand regardless of seasonal factors, will be important elements supporting future market revitalization.
