Founded in 2011, the platform is the largest of its kind in China in terms of both the number of transactions facilitated and the sales value in 2017, according to iResearch. It has been backed by two large investors, Warburg Pincus LLC and Baidu Inc. (Nasdaq: BIDU), which hold a combined 24 percent stake as well as senior management roles in the company, according to Uxin's prospectus.

The Beijing-based company operates two businesses on its platform. The Used Car (business-to-consumer) segment provides information regarding recommendations, financing, documents, delivery, and warranty, among other things.

Uxin said its network had more than 670 service centers in 270 Chinese cities at the end of March. It sold 165,000 cars in this year's first quarter, nearly 62 percent more than in the same period of 2017.
