Studies

Mobility Experience Studies

Three syndicated studies, one instrument. Each asks owners and riders what they chose, how it went, and how they feel about it, in the same words every year, so the answers can be compared across models, brands and decades.

NVES

The New Vehicle Experience Study. Owners of new cars and light trucks in the US market, surveyed on what they bought, what they feel about it, and why. Running since 1994, nine million respondents to date.

UVES

The Used Vehicle Experience Study. The same instrument turned on recently purchased previously-owned vehicles, model year 2014 and newer, where a growing share of the market actually buys.

Ride-Hail (RHES)

The Ride-Hail Experience Study. Riders, the drivers who work for the platforms, and people who have never used one. Many respondents are NVES owners too, so a household's vehicle and its ride-hail habits can be read together.

Why syndicated

One instrument, fielded the same way every year.

Subscribers share the cost of a sample no single company could field on its own, large enough to read individual models rather than just brands. Because the questions do not drift, this year's number means the same thing as last year's.

Why ours

Built to explain the choice, not just count it.

Every study carries ValueCentered questions: what owners value, how the experience made them feel, and how committed they are, measured on the Edwards Commitment Scale. That is what lets the data say why, and predict what an owner will do next.
