A confident driver can exude sex appeal while driving any vehicle, even a moped or a tractor. But can a car increase the attractiveness of its owner in the eyes of the opposite sex? It turns out that it can.
Experts from the German portal mobile.de conducted a survey to find the sexiest car brands, the ones that attract the attention and envy of other car owners and pedestrians. Both men and women took part in the survey. And this is what the top 5 most attractive car brands of 2020 look like.
5. Jeep
The top 5 most charming and attractive car brands are opened by the American brand, which is more popular with German women than men (13.7% versus 9%).
In 2018, Jeep was awarded the official Cult Brand title by the Iconic Brands Society of Canada, the first and only automotive brand to receive this status. Chris Neeland, co-founder and chairman of the brand selection committee, said of Jeep: "Its marketing, product innovation and customer engagement are best in class."
Strategic Business Insights, a leading US market research company that uses a proprietary system called VALS to predict consumer attitudes and preferences, named three groups of buyers who are most likely to buy a Jeep.
- The Thinkers are mature people looking for durability, practicality and quality.
- Innovators looking for the authenticity of a strong brand story. They have the highest incomes and are most likely looking for a car to stand out from the crowd.
- Travelers are a younger generation dreaming of the freedom this brand promises and the opportunity to join the huge community of jeep drivers.
4. Audi
The assessment of the attractiveness of this brand does not differ much between men and women (32.7% and 28.2%, respectively). The brand produces cars that are very beautiful on the outside and comfortable on the inside, which combine exceptional performance with an unrivaled driving experience.
According to US News & World Report, the Audi brand is ranked # 1 among the 15 most beautiful car brands for 2020. Select models in the range are finished in premium leather with wood and metal accents. For example, the 2020 Audi A7 can be equipped with Valcona leather seats, massage front seats and a heated steering wheel.
3. Mercedes-Benz
If in the overall standings in terms of the ratio of appearance, safety, comfort and care for the environment, the Mercedes-Benz brand has only an honorable third place, then in such a parameter as prestige it is confidently leading, overtaking such competitors as BMW and Porsche.
Two-thirds of German drivers surveyed by mobile.de consider Mercedes-Benz a symbol of professional and personal success.
By the way, Mercedes also took the laurels of the safest brand for itself (47.8% of respondents think so).
2. Porsche
The opinion that women prefer men who drive luxury cars has long been in the public mind. As the saying goes, "with a cute paradise and in a hut, if cute in a Porsche."
The luxury sports cars of this brand are renowned for first-class materials, luxurious features and first-class technology.
It is curious that despite all their luxury and appearance, Porsche representatives occupy only the 28th line in the rating of car reliability according to the English edition of Carwow and Warranty Wise. Although cars from this premium brand do not break down very often, the average cost to repair them is £ 1,550 or RUB 151,147.
1. BMW
The sexiest driver is the one who drives a BMW. At least this is evidenced by the results of the mobile.de survey. This can be attributed to a tribute to the native brand, or it can be attributed to the quality, safety and beauty of the cars of this brand, which is highly valued by 36.5% of male respondents and 32.3% of female respondents.
BMW models feature high-quality seat support materials, and many come standard with Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth and iDrive infotainment system.
But the least sexy cars in the opinion of the Germans surveyed are the cars of the Italian company Fiat. They were called attractive by only 2.2% of respondents.
And finally, a few more numbers. According to a survey of 1,000 people by the British company OSV Ltd, 54 percent of men believe that a bright car can help them arrange a date. And almost the same number of women (51 percent) confirm this opinion! These 51% believe that a man's car "influences his image."
Only 15 percent of men judge women by what kind of car they drive, although 27 male respondents said that a woman driving an expensive car comes across as arrogant.
According to OSV director Debbie Kirkley, the study revealed an interesting trend. “A lot of people - more than we think - categorize people according to their car brand. And they think that we can judge ourselves by the car ”.
