The Cox Automotive\/Moody&#8217;s Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index (VAI) will be updated monthly using the latest data from government and industry sources, including key pricing data from <span class=\"xn-person\">Kelley Blue Book<\/span>, a Cox Automotive company. Going forward, this important industry measure will be released at mid-month to indicate if the prices paid for new vehicles are moving out of consumers&#8217; financial reach or becoming more affordable over time. <\/p>\n<div id=\"divReleaseHighlight21ff\">The Cox Automotive\/Moody&#8217;s Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index provides a comparative way to measure affordability.<\/div>\n<p>In the current market, with high unemployment and an economy struggling to recover to pre-pandemic levels, understanding the affordability of new vehicles is increasingly important to industry analysts and consumers alike. However, the answer is more complex than simply rising and falling Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Prices (MSRPs). To measure true vehicle affordability, Cox Automotive and Moody&#8217;s Analytics considered shifting household incomes, incentive spending by the automakers and dealers, and actual finance charges on new vehicle loans when developing the VAI. <\/p>\n<p>According to Cox Automotive Chief Economist <span class=\"xn-person\">Jonathan Smoke<\/span>: &#8220;Until now, the industry lacked visibility into consumer spending power and interest rate changes relative to the movement of new vehicle prices. The Cox Automotive\/Moody&#8217;s Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index is filling this void by providing a comparative way to measure affordability while eliminating guesswork and prognostication.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Cox Automotive\/Moody&#8217;s Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index for October is at 33.13, representing the number of weeks of income needed for a median-income household to pay off a new vehicle. Measuring in weeks provides a consistent, straightforward unit that captures the affordability of new vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>New Vehicles Are Becoming Less Affordable as Incomes Drop &#8211; VAI through <span class=\"xn-chron\">Oct 2020<\/span><\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder2611\">\n<p>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/1336887\/Cox_Automotive_Moody_s_Analytics_Vehicle_Affordability_Index_Oct_2020.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/1336887\/Cox_Automotive_Moody_s_Analytics_Vehicle_Affordability_Index_Oct_2020.jpg\" title=\"New Vehicles Are Becoming Less Affordable as Incomes Drop - VAI through Oct 2020\" alt=\"New Vehicles Are Becoming Less Affordable as Incomes Drop - VAI through Oct 2020\" \/><br \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the early stages of the pandemic, affordability improved as incomes were supported by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in the form of stimulus payments and enhanced unemployment benefits, while interest rates declined, and incentives peaked in the new vehicle market. However, affordability has been declining as average transaction prices continue to rise, and household income has fallen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking ahead, we expect new vehicle affordability to continue decreasing over the next months without further federal fiscal policy action,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Michael Brisson<\/span>, Auto Economist at Moody&#8217;s Analytics. &#8220;The COVID-19 pandemic is intensifying at an alarming rate, dampening consumer demand, putting continued stress on the labor market, and depressing incomes. Despite falling interest rates, dropping incomes may push new vehicles out of reach for the average consumer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2984697-1&amp;h=335402872&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moodysanalytics.com%2F-%2Fmedia%2Farticle%2F2020%2Fvai-analysis-november.pdf%3Futm_source%3Dpress-release%26utm_medium%3Dmadc%26utm_campaign%3Dprpl_coxvai&amp;a=Click+here\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0to read the latest analysis on vehicle affordability from <span class=\"xn-person\">Jonathan Smoke<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-person\">Michael Brisson<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2984697-1&amp;h=3282367646&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moodysanalytics.com%2F-%2Fmedia%2Fsolutions%2Fcox-automotive-moodys-analytics-vehicle-affortability-index.pdf%3Futm_source%3Dpress-release%26utm_medium%3Dmadc%26utm_campaign%3Dprpl_coxvai&amp;a=Click+here\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0for more details and the full methodology for the Cox Automotive\/Moody&#8217;s Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index.<\/p>\n<p>The December update for the Cox Automotive\/Moody&#8217;s Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index will be published on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Dec. 15, 2020<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <i>Moody&#8217;s Analytics, Moody&#8217;s, and all other names, logos, and icons identifying Moody&#8217;s Analytics and\/or its products and services are trademarks of Moody&#8217;s Analytics, Inc. or its affiliates.
