As of March 31, 2023, passenger cars in Japan had an average age of approximately 9.22 years. Over the past decade, the average age of passenger cars increased steadily, hinting at improved durability of vehicles owned in Japan.
Japan’s usage rate of passenger cars was much higher among car owners from rural regions compared to those living in the country’s metropolitan areas, such as Tokyo or Osaka. Due to rising environmental awareness, green vehicle technologies, and car-sharing services that started to pick up in Japan, a new approach to vehicle usage and purchase behavior has likely been sparked.
