What is Kolesa.kz?
Kolesa.kz is the dominant car classifieds and portal in Kazakhstan, run by Kolesa Group. It carries dealer and private listings plus motorcycles, drawing on a strong app-driven dataset. Kolesa.kz sees ~5-7M visits per month (SimilarWeb, Nov 2025) with a self-reported 1M+ active ads.
Market Position
Kolesa.kz is effectively a monopoly in Kazakhstan with ~5-7M monthly visits (SimilarWeb, Nov 2025) and 1M+ ads. Its position strengthened when Kaspi.kz acquired 40% of Kolesa Group in 2023 ($88.5M) — fintech and e-commerce capital behind the classifieds leader, which is expanding its dataset. There is no official public API (unofficial app endpoints exist) and anti-bot is moderate — work Carapis absorbs to serve the data through one unified endpoint.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from each Kolesa.kz listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission
- Condition — mileage
- Pricing — listed price
- Specification — factory options and trim
- Listing context — dealer / seller info, seller type, location, photo gallery
Kolesa’s rich app-driven dataset makes it the single best structured source for the Central Asian used-car market.
