2022 AUTOTRADER HYBRID CAR BUYERS SURVEY With CEO of AutoTrader George Mienie
Interest in hybrids is at an all-time high in this country – although South Africans still have a lot to learn about the technology.
These are among the fascinating facts to emerge from the 2022 AutoTrader Hybrid Car Buyers Survey. The first-ever local report of its kind, the purpose of the survey is to inform the industry on consumer sentiment, understanding and demand for hybrid-driven cars. Until now, that is. The 2022 AutoTrader Hybrid Car Buyers Survey unpacks all the trends relating to the hybrid market – from sales to consumer expectations and purchasing intent.
One of the most positive findings within the report pertains to sales; hybrid vehicle sales in South Africa are already up by 1,885% compared to the first eight months of 2021. Looking at advert view behaviour, there has been a big increase in the attention that hybrid cars have received (year-on-year, it increased by an impressive 44% in 2022). This behavior is not just limited to casual browsing – most importantly, hybrid enquiries have risen by 64% year on year.
While hybrids are on the lips of many South Africans, this is – for the majority of consumers – an unknown market sector. More than 60% of South African consumers have never experienced a hybrid car while fewer than 5% have owned one. Most South Africans are unaware of the various hybrid cars that are available in the market. They’re also unclear as to which hybrid car configurations exist.
