Larger Cars Becoming More Popular

Many parents feel more like a taxi service than a loved family member these days with children often having a busier social life than adults; all the birthday parties and after school clubs can mean driving the little cherubs and their friends all over town.

This seems to have had an influence to the type of cars the UK motorists are now buying. The multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) is growing in popularity among buyers, according to an industry body. The latest report has found that the larger-than-average car had seen an upturn in the number of purchases over recent years.

The company added that it believes the popularity will continue as people look for comfortable and spacious automobiles, despite potentially high car insurance costs. The managing director of the company acknowledged this, remarking that the recent high demand comes even though road tax is set to increase on bigger cars.

"It seems that the rise in car tax has pushed retail demand away from 4x4s. Although this propensity for larger vehicles has remained," he said.

With this in mind vehicle dealers are in a good position to capitalise the market as they “have a free hand” in selecting vehicles for the forecourt.
