Understanding Gen Z Buyers with Jenni Newman | 2024 NADA Show
Manage episode 401299904 series 3409995
Paul J Daly sits down with Jenni Newman, Editor-in-Chief at Cars Commerce, at her first NADA Show to discuss the evolving car buying preferences of younger generations, particularly Gen Z. Jenni, with her extensive experience in automotive journalism, sheds light on the surprising findings that despite growing up in the digital age, a vast majority of Gen Z (80%) prefers to engage with dealerships in person rather than buying online. She emphasizes the importance for dealers to understand that Gen Z buyers seek guidance and support throughout the car buying process. Jenni also touches on the inclinations of millennials, who, in contrast to Gen Z, show a greater interest in online car purchasing, albeit still less than 20%. The conversation highlights the need for dealerships to adapt to these generational shifts and provide the necessary information and assistance to cater to different buyer preferences.
