February 28, 2023

Mazda CX-5 popular SUV

According to the year 2022 survey, 8.4 percent of all tow vehicles in the Netherlands are Mazda CX-5s. So neat numbers from Mazda. And in itself it is no surprise, as the CX-5 is undiminished in popularity. Indeed, with a market share of 9.91 percent, the Mazda CX-5 also leads the list of best-selling new cars among caravan owners.

Caravan owners often drive young car

Finally, Mazda as a brand also ranks first in market share of newly purchased tow vehicle brands with 13.96 percent. Caravan owners often purchase their car new (40 percent), just over half of all cars are no older than five years and 87 percent are no older than 10 years. So caravan drivers often drive fairly young cars. This makes quite a bit of sense, since a caravan owner is generally a bit older and has a fatter wallet and thus money to invest in a new SUV.
