Understanding ownership and purchasing decisions

Turquoise were commissioned by Toyota to conduct an ethnographic new buyer study for the Toyota Rav4. Insights were needed to explore lifestyle connections and driving habits of new RAV4 owners and to understand vehicle ownership history and the purchase process decision.

Methodology

In collaboration with the client's desired approach, we conducted a series of qualitative in-depth interviews at respondents' homes. This gave us the opportunity to capture ethnographic video footage and photography.

Outcome

Turquoise delivered an illustration of motivations towards purchasing small SUV’s, lifestyle and life-stage factors that influence the purchase decision process.

An understanding of how new owners develop their relationship with their new vehicle and how it fits into the demands of their lifestyle provided Toyota with key insight to better understand purchase motivators, behaviours and processes.
