Highlights Consumers’ bahaviour towards green cars in Malaysia. The role of consumption values. Resale value and green cars purchase behaviour. Variety-seeking and green cars purchase behaviour. Fuel prices and green cars purchase behaviour.

    Abstract This paper examined the roles of consumption values in the green automotive industry. Unlike previous studies, this paper added resale price, variety-seeking, and fuel prices as the new dimensions of Sheth’s theory of consumption values. Also, this paper is one of the few studies that introduced the impact of green self-identity and self-expressive benefits in Malaysian society. All variables were measured using a 7-point Likert-scale. Three hundred and sixty-eight questionnaires were collected from the respondents in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (SmartPLS) was applied. Five hypotheses were tested by assessing the measurement and structural models. From the results, conditional value is the most significant predictor of Malaysian consumers’ attitudes toward green cars, followed by functional and epistemic values. However, the symbolic value did not show a significant effect on consumers’ attitudes toward green cars. The implications, limitations, and future research directions were also included.
