CarVia - Car Dealer and Classifieds Theme

CarVia is a complete WordPress theme for automotive businesses. Whether you sell cars from your own showroom, run a marketplace where private sellers and dealers publish vehicles, specialise in electric cars or operate a repair workshop, CarVia gives you a professional website the moment you import a demo. The theme comes with its companion plugin CarVia Core, which adds the listings engine, search and filters, lead forms, the multi-vendor seller dashboard, Elementor widgets, a Theme Builder and a guided Setup Wizard.

6 complete demo websites

• Car Dealership One – premium single dealer with search-card hero and signature collection
• Car Dealership Two – luxury & performance showroom with concierge and private sourcing pages
• Classified Listing – open marketplace for private sellers and dealers
• Multi-Listing Types – cars, motorcycles, boats and vans in one marketplace
• Electric Vehicle Dealership – range, battery health and home charging focused

Every demo has its own header, footer, two home pages, inner pages and single vehicle layout. Import any demo in one click and replace the content with your own.
