One in five people in the UAE would purchase a new car online rather than in a showroom.
That's according to a survey by YouGov MENA, which found that men are more likely than women to buy a car on the internet.
Meanwhile, it found that 25 per cent would buy a second-hand car on the internet, while 41 per cent would buy it if it came with a discount.
Ashima Kumar, Account Manager at YouGov MENA, explains why we're seeing this trend.
