Singapore-based Carro, which operates as a leading online automotive marketplace in the Asia Pacific region, has announced its entry into the Australian market through the acquisition of CarPlace. CarPlace is a prominent Australian used car platform operated by Autoleague, which is one of the largest automotive groups in Australia.

The transaction establishes a partnership between Carro and Autoleague, allowing Carro to secure a physical presence in three of the four largest markets in Australia. Under the agreement, Carro will take over physical showrooms located in Western Australia and Queensland.
