Women in the UK are more likely to see the environment as an important factor when they buy a new car, it has been reported.
Around 30 per cent of women and 23 per cent of men will be influenced by a car's impact on the environment, according to new research from Experian.
The survey also discovered that drivers who change a car within three years of its purchase see the environment as a bigger factor in their decision-making process, compared to those that keep a vehicle for between four and five years.
Kirk Fletcher, managing director of Experian's automotive unit, said "the environment is clearly becoming a bigger concern for car owners".
"In our opinion, this is more likely to continue to grow rather than diminish and needs to be factored into the sales process," he added.
According to recent finding from Sainsbury's Car Insurance, men are still paying more for their Car Insurance than their female counterparts with an average insurance bill of £540.49, in comparison to £470.47 spent by women.
