Used City Cars for Sale

City Cars

As city cars are built for city use, they will most likely have a small footprint. This makes them easy to drive and park in tight bays. More often, city cars will be cheap to buy and run with a fuel-efficient engine coupled to a gearbox that is easy to use. Modern city cars are also designed to increase overall visibility without any blind spots. They also sit higher than a normal car to aid manoeuvrability.

Other advantages of a city car include lower maintenance costs. Some good examples of city cars are the Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, Volkswagen Up, etc. Used city cars are plenty in the used market from different manufacturers. They also come with efficient hybrid and electric powertrain options - a no-nonsense option for cities with clean air zones, where a normal fuel-guzzling city car could be penalised.
