COVID-19 drove industrywide changes in dealership sales behaviors, but for the third year in a row, BRP’s Can-Am dealerships were the top ranked UTV brand, reports the newly released 2020 Pied Piper Prospect Satisfaction Index U.S. UTV Industry Study.
According to O’Hagan, many potential customers turn to their phones instead of heading to a dealership when they first contemplate purchasing a vehicle such as a UTV.
Harley-Davidson dealerships ranked highest in the 2020 Pied Piper PSI Internet Lead Effectiveness (ILE) Industry Study, which answers the question, “What happens when motorcycle or UTV customers visit a dealer website and inquire about a vehicle?”
The industry benchmarking study measured in-dealership treatment of U.S. UTV/side-by-side shoppers. Honda and Kawasaki were ranked second and third, while Mahindra and Polaris were tied for fourth.
Kawasaki and Honda were ranked second and third, while Bobcat, Kubota and Textron were tied for fourth. Mahindra and Yanmar were tied for seventh, followed by Ingersoll Rand’s Club Car brand in ninth, all scoring above the UTV industry average.
