Hagerty just finished its annual, “Future of Driving” survey and concluded that the kids are going to be alright. According to participants, the number of classic vehicle enthusiasts is increasing. And many of these collectors are learning to work on their old cars and trucks. Gen Z kids seem especially interested in luxury cars. Here’s how the numbers break down.

First, some definitions. The U.S. Social Security Administration defines Generation X as the folks who came after the post-war “Baby Boomer” generation, and were born between 1964 and 1980. Millennials were born between 1981 and 1996. Generation Z (sometimes called the Zoomers, sometimes called the iGen) was born between 1997 and 2012. What about the kids born after 2012? Well it looks like we’re starting the alphabet all over again–with a twist–and calling them “Generation Alpha.”

Next, let’s get into the numbers. Hagerty surveyed more than 2,000 Americans (some drivers, and some non-drivers). Seventy-seven percent of Gen Z said they loved or liked driving. That’s right, they’re enthusiasts. Of all the drivers who responded, 50% said driving gives them a sense of freedom, while 28% called the experience adventurous, and 24% find it calming.

What about classic cars? Thirty percent of Millennials said they have owned or currently own a classic. But by Gen Z, that number’s risen to 32%. And despite the internet having ignited a passion for the classics in many Gen Z enthusiasts, the most common reason they cited was in-person car shows (40% of respondents).

So what vehicles are they interested in? That’s shifting with the latest generation. Overall, 38% of respondents said SUVs, 26% said sedans, and 19% said pickup trucks. But for Gen Z respondents, SUVs fell to just 26% while luxury cars rose to 23%.

The majority of drivers take their cars to a dealership service center for maintenance (55%). But 27% of respondents across every generation perform DIY repairs. The most likely generation to find under a project car? Millennials. Thirty-four percent of all Millennials surveyd said they perform DIY repairs on their cars.

“The next generation of car enthusiasts is here, creating a vibrant market for us to help enthusiasts protect, buy, sell and enjoy their special vehicles…The data is clear that Gen Z isn’t just playing car video games, watching YouTube or creating social media content, they’re also finding ways to participate in the collector car community.”

With every new generation of classic car collectors, a new generation of cars become “classics.” The most common vehicle that Millennials inquired about getting Hagerty classic insurance for was 1988-2000 (GMT400) trucks and SUVs built by General Motors (Chevy/GMC). The most common vehicle Gen Z inquired about? 1990-1998 Mazda Miatas.
