Uncover the behaviours shaping the UK Auto Market:

  • Loyalty running low: Just 2 in 10 buyers stay loyal to a brand — today, value, efficiency, and timing drive decisions.

  • Green is mainstream: With 60% concerned about CO₂ emissions, electric and hybrid messaging resonates more strongly than ever.

  • Five audiences, five journeys: From first-time buyers to luxury seekers and technophiles, every path is shaped by lifestyle, values, and intent.

  • Intent outweighs identity: Reading reviews, comparing prices, and exploring features reveal purchase readiness far better than age or income ever could.
