It goes without saying that the automotive market has changed significantly in recent years, and with this change, so too has CarGurus. As 2022 draws to an end, we took some time to reflect on the past year — and what a year it has been thanks to our phenomenal dealer partners. Below are some of the defining highlights.
Continued our commitment to partnership
Our accomplishments are not possible without the support and loyalty of our dealer partners. After a year filled with industry highs and lows, it’s inspiring to witness how our partners have risen to meet every roadblock, while continuously providing consumers with a top-class car buying experience.
CarGurus is the fastest growing car shopping website in Canada*, and our focus remains constant — to convert site visits to sales for our partners.
