Deloitte’s Gen Y Automotive Survey

Previous years’ reports

Deloitte’s Automotive practice has teamed with the Michigan State University since 2009 to develop an annual survey measuring Gen Y consumers’ (age 19-31) buying habits and vehicle preferences. 

Leading purchase considerations for Gen Y have changed each year Deloitte has conducted the survey; however, previous years’ differentiators are now “must haves.”

  • In 2011 “cockpit technology” and the shopping experience emerged as leading differentiators for Gen Y
  • In 2010 overall value ranked as the primary factor when evaluating brands for Gen Y
  • In 2009 vehicle safety ranked as the top priority for Gen Y

Explore these findings and more through our survey library, and the individual survey findings from past years.
