AI disrupts Singapore’s car search market

Carousell Autos has launched Singapore’s first AI-powered car finder, transforming how users discover pre-owned cars by allowing them to describe their needs directly. This innovative feature, now live on the Carousell Autos website, replaces traditional dropdown filters with an open text field, enabling a more intuitive search experience.

Traditional car marketplaces in Singapore often require users to filter options by brand, model, or price, which can be limiting for those unsure of their exact needs. The new AI-powered finder addresses this by allowing users to input prompts like “What’s a reliable family SUV under $80,000?” to surface relevant listings. This approach also encourages consideration of practical factors such as maintenance costs and long-term value.

The AI-powered tool is particularly beneficial for first-time buyers or those unfamiliar with specific automotive terms, as it matches listings based on user preferences rather than strict keyword relevance. This not only aids buyers but also enhances lead quality for dealers and sellers by connecting them with more interested buyers.

Sanjay Shivkumar, Head of Carousell Autos, stated, “Buying a car is a major decision, but the online search experience can often feel overly technical. With this AI-powered car finder, we hope to help Singaporeans make more confident and informed decisions.”

To celebrate the launch, Carousell Autos is running a 6.6 Deals campaign throughout June 2026. Buyers purchasing a pre-owned car tagged “6.6 Fuel Deal” will receive $100 in Shell petrol vouchers, whilst stocks last.
