new car

Dealership's latest offering

A new car is a vehicle that has never been owned or registered, purchased directly from a manufacturer or dealer.

The phrase often carries associations of expense, fresh smell, and unblemished condition: That new car smell won't last forever.

New car functions as a compound modifier: new car prices, new car warranty.

Getting a new car is a cultural milestone, sometimes marking financial success or life transitions.
