New year brings tightening used-car supply, a shifting definition of "American-made," and new strategies for electric cars

新的一年带来了紧缩的二手车供应、对“美国制造”定义的变化以及电动车的新策略

CHICAGO, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com Inc. (NYSE: CARS) (d/b/a "Cars Commerce Inc."), an audience-driven technology company powering automotive, today released its 2025 Automotive Trends. The industry is entering the new year with a mix of optimism and challenges as shifts in supply and demand continue to shape automotive retail.

芝加哥,2024年12月17日 /美通社/ -- Cars.com Inc.(纽交所:CARS)(商业名称为"Cars Commerce Inc."),是一家以观众为驱动的汽车科技公司,今天发布了2025年汽车趋势。随着供需变化继续影响汽车零售,行业在新的一年中迎来了乐观与挑战的交织。

"Affordability is improving, but we're not out of the woods. Two interest rate cuts in late 2024 eased borrowing pressures but the average new car price remains stubbornly high," says David Greene, Cars.com analyst. "Further complicating matters, many consumers are struggling financially. Loan delinquencies are high, while used vehicle values have fallen from record highs in the past two years, making it more difficult for consumers to sell or trade out vehicles. While inflation is cooling, sticker shock and affordability in the auto market remain key challenges for 2025. The good news is that new car inventory priced under $30,000 is increasing, offering some relief for buyers and a bright spot for the year ahead."

“可负担性在改善,但我们仍未脱离困境。2024年末的两次降息缓解了借贷压力,但平均新车价格仍然固执地高,” Cars.com的分析师David Greene表示。“更复杂的是,许多消费者在财务上面临困境。贷款逾期率高,而过去两年二手车的价值已从创纪录的高点下降,导致消费者更难以出售或交易车辆。尽管通货膨胀正在减缓,但汽车市场的标签震惊和可负担性仍然是2025年的主要挑战。好消息是,价格低于30,000美元的新车库存正在增加,为买家提供了一些宽慰,也是明年光明的一点。”

2025 Brings Challenges for Used Car Shoppers, Forcing a Potential Shift Towards New Cars
The average new-vehicle price has leveled off at $49,000, slightly below its June 2023 peak of $50,300, a small but encouraging shift since prices began accelerating in spring 2021 from a $37,000 average.1 A positive shift for 2025 is that the inventory of new vehicles priced under $30,000 increased by 42% year over year in November, delivering some comfort for budget-conscious buyers.1 Cars.com's new enhanced experience aims to help new-car shoppers easily compare vehicles and buying options to find the best vehicle for their budget.

2025年为二手车购物者带来挑战,迫使潜在转向新车
平均新车价格已稳定在49,000美元,略低于2023年6月的高峰50,300美元,自2021年春季从37,000美元的平均水平加速上涨以来,这是一个小但令人鼓舞的变化。2025年的一个积极变化是,11月份价格低于30,000美元的新车库存同比增长了42%,为预算紧张的买家带来了一些安慰。Cars.com的新增强体验旨在帮助新车购物者轻松比较车辆和购买选项,以找到适合他们预算的最佳车辆。

"In 2025, more car shoppers may turn to new cars as the better option. The late-model used inventory just isn't there, due to fewer sales and leases in the past three years. As a result, the options available will continue to command inflated prices," adds Greene. "For new car shoppers, it will be beneficial as they may get more for their trade-in, which also helps offset the price of a new car."

“在2025年,更多车主购物者可能会转向新车作为更好的选择。由于过去三年销售和租赁量减少,晚期二手车库存根本不存在。因此,提供的选项将继续保持高价,”Greene补充道。“对于新车购物者来说,这将是有利的,因为他们可能获得更多的交易价值,这也有助于抵消新车的价格。”

'American-Made' Is Redefined

'美国制造' 被重新定义

The definition of "American-made" is evolving, largely due to the Inflation Reduction Act. Foreign automakers with U.S.-based manufacturing facilities now rival legacy Detroit brands, particularly in states like Alabama, Tennessee and Texas. The potential implementation of tariffs in 2025 could further complicate how "American-made" is defined and achieved in the auto industry. These tariffs are expected to impact vehicle components, potentially raising the cost of manufacturing new cars. Fully assembled imported vehicles, already among the most expensive goods affected by such tariffs, could face even higher costs. Notably, potential tariffs on Mexico and Canada may conflict with the terms of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, thereby adding uncertainty.

"美国制造" 的定义正在演变,主要是由于《通货膨胀减免法案》。拥有美国制造设施的外国汽车制造商现在与底特律的传统品牌竞争,特别是在阿拉巴马州、田纳西州和德克萨斯州。2025年可能实施的关税可能进一步复杂化“美国制造”在汽车行业中的定义和实现。这些关税预计将影响车辆元件,可能提高新车的制造成本。完全组装的进口车辆已经是受此类关税影响的最昂贵商品之一,可能面临更高的成本。值得注意的是,对墨西哥和加拿大的潜在关税可能与美国-墨西哥-加拿大协议的条款相冲突,从而增加不确定性。

The impact of the American-made definition in the electric-vehicle market is similar to the mainstream car market as domestic EV battery production is reshaping the landscape and boosting the presence of hybrids and EVs on Cars.com's American-Made Index.

在电动车市场上,"美国制造" 定义的影响与主流汽车市场类似,因为国内电池生产正在重塑市场格局,并推动混合动力车和电动车在Cars.com的美国制造指数上的出现。

Tricky Balance Between EV Supply and Consumer Demand Lingers

电动车供给与消费者需求之间的微妙平衡依然存在

The EV market continues calibrating to consumer demand, driven by growing inventories and declining used-EV prices. In 2024, used-EV prices dropped more than twice as fast as the broader used-car market, making them more accessible to a wider range of consumers. On the new-car front, EV inventories increased by 35% year over year, although price sensitivity remains a challenge — new EVs are priced $13,000 above the average new car.1 An overproduction of EVs has left dealer lots with extra inventory to unload, causing automakers like Ford and GM to slow production to find the right mix for shoppers. Hybrids are growing in popularity for those interested in the comfort of a gas-powered vehicle and the savings of an EV.

电动车市场正根据消费者需求进行校准,库存增加和二手电动车价格下降是主要驱动力。在2024年,二手电动车价格的降幅是广泛的二手车市场的两倍多,使得它们对更广泛的消费者群体更具可及性。在新车方面,电动车库存同比增长了35%,尽管价格敏感性仍然是一个挑战——新电动车的价格比平均新车高出13,000美元。电动车的过剩生产使得经销商的库存多出,导致福特和通用汽车等汽车制造商减缓生产,以找到适合消费者的正确组合。对于那些对燃油车的舒适性和电动车的节省感兴趣的人来说,混合动力车越来越受欢迎。
