Compare and contrast the target market for the 3 car adverts giving reasons for your assessments.

BMW M5, Vauxhall Zafira and Jaguar are three different car brands with different target markets. Although they are cars with same functions, their consumers are very different from the classifications. These three car adverts have introduced their functions, colours, shapes to their target audience via the three classifications. This essay will compare the car adverts with the classifications to show their target market in detail.

Firstly, in the part of demographics, the target classes of these three car adverts are different. BMW M5 is for class C1 or above because of its smart appearance and speed in the advert. Vauxhall Zafira is for class C2 or above due to the practical functions and space for families that could be easily understood in the adverts. Jaguar is also for C1 or above as it is a sports car in expensive price for rich young people and playboy.

Specifically speaking in demographics, BMW M5 is for male aged 30 to 50 who have stable income for 7,500 pounds or above. This car is most likely to be driven in urban areas rather than the rural areas for people to work and travel. Driving this car could give an impression to the driver that he is professional and intelligent. On the other hand Vauxhall Zafira is totally different. It is mainly for both male and female aged 30 to 60 who have a family with children. People in this target market have stable income as well to support their families with this car. The car is flexible to have more sits or more usage for storing luggage. For Jaguar, it is for male aged 25 to 40 who try to be cool and have good taste. Their income could be extremely high for 8,000 pounds or more. This car is a sports car so its speed, appearance and colours are very attractive for their target market. People would admire the drivers of Jaguar because of its shape-looking.

For the geographics, both three car adverts show that these cars are mainly driven in Western urban countries. For instance, America and Europe are the main areas for the main target market. However they still have slightly difference in the appearing areas. BMW M5 mainly appears in the cities and crowded areas. It could be easily seen in shopping and working areas driven by the officers. Vauxhall Zafira could be seen in family vacations, schools, beaches and theme parks. In other words it is suitable for families and children to contain many tools for children to go outside. For example, the babysitter is huge and it is suitable for putting in Vauxhall Zafira. Only Vauxhall Zafira could take these kinds of tools to everywhere but BMW M5 and Jaguar could not. Jaguar could be found in highways and main streets for showing-off by rich people. The sound of the engine attracts people to make the attentions of Jaguar so the purposes of these three cars for their target market are different.

Finally for the psychographics, BMW M5 is for people who are mature and professional. They have their own lifestyles and they are individuals. Due to the purpose of driving this car is mainly for working and travelling, the target market could be passive and quiet. They do not like active activities and they prefer stable activities. The target market of Vauxhall Zafira could be lost for their personality as they are seeking a perfect, practical car for their families. They might not have their own opinion and they have to buy this car because of their children as well. However the target market of Jaguar owns their personal opinion to buy this car for showing-off. They like their cars with shape colours to show they have elegant lives.


To sum up, these three car adverts have shown their functions and appearance to their target markets. Each of them is different and their purposes are different as well. These three cars are good choices for officers, families and rich people. Their car adverts have perfectly shown their functions, speeds and the purposes of the cars. They are all good adverts for target market to consider.
