Changing Customer Expectations in a Digital-First World
For most consumers, shopping for a new car starts on their mobile device, not at the dealership. Digital technology has been transforming the way consumers shop for more than a decade, but it is also transforming the way they buy, finance, and even use their vehicles.
A consumer-first mindset is more than a philosophy, it’s an opportunity to have a direct and more-meaningful relationship with your customers. The automotive and mobility industry has a unique opportunity to serve customers with an ongoing (even lifetime) relationship across purchasing, financing, servicing, subscriptions, and many other contact points throughout the automobile-ownership experience.

Consumers Expect More From Automakers and Dealers
We surveyed more than 1,000 vehicle owners to learn about their preferences and experiences when purchasing a new vehicle, focusing on the differences between electric vehicle (EV) owners and those who drive gas-powered vehicles – also known as internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles – or hybrids. The results indicate that non-EV owners are more dissatisfied and expect more from automotive dealers and manufacturers.
