- Notice rising popularity of green and khaki cars
- Dacia uses khaki to attract outdoor buyers
- Leasemaatschappijen prefer neutral colors for resale
- Dark colors increase accident risk at night

- Dark cars raise fuel use due to heat absorption
Brands like Dacia, now Europe’s favourite among non-company car buyers, have played a key role by promoting khaki as part of their outdoor branding strategy. Audi and KIA also report similar trends, with khaki shades featuring prominently in recent models. But what does this growing trend mean for Belgian drivers, especially when it comes to safety, resale value, and personal style?
Understanding these factors can help you make a smarter choice when selecting your next car colour. Let’s explore how these trends affect Belgian car owners and what you should consider before picking that khaki or green hue.
Why are more Belgian drivers drawn to khaki and green cars despite their lower resale value and safety concerns? It’s partly due to automotive marketing and fashion trends aligning with outdoor lifestyles. However, practical factors still dominate choices:
- Leasing companies favour neutral colours (black, white, grey) for better resale value.
- Dark colours like black and navy increase accident risk at night due to low visibility.
- Bright colours such as white and yellow offer better safety by standing out in traffic.
- Personal expression influences buyers: khaki signals ruggedness, red shows boldness, grey suggests reliability.
As Belgian motorists embrace more diverse car colours, balancing style with safety and value becomes essential. Will khaki continue to rise, or will practical colours reclaim dominance? Next time you choose a car, consider how your colour choice reflects your personality and affects your driving experience on Belgian roads.
