What is Chileautos?
Chileautos is the leading car marketplace in Chile, online since 1999. It lists new, seminuevo (semi-new/certified) and used vehicles, along with motorcycles and trucks, from both dealers and private sellers, and charges sellers roughly 1% of the sale price. It is part of CAR Group, which runs a shared corporate data model across Australia, Korea (Encar) and Brazil (Webmotors).
Market Position
Chileautos is the long-standing leader for cars in Chile, with thousands of active listings and a quarter-century operating history. As a CAR Group property, it shares the structured data approach used at Encar and Webmotors, so a Chileautos parser slots into the same family — and Chilean used-car prices rose around 5% from 2024 to 2025, keeping pricing data timely. It competes with Yapo.cl (general classifieds) and Mercado Libre Chile, but leads as the dedicated, longest-running car portal.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a complete structured record from each Chileautos listing:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year, fuel type, transmission, body type
- Condition — mileage, condition / seminuevo (semi-new) tag
- Pricing — listed price
- Specification — options and trim
- Listing context — dealer / seller info, location, photo gallery
The new/seminuevo/used segmentation is a useful Chileautos signal, letting buyers separate certified semi-new inventory from ordinary used stock.
