ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Mazda's decision to price diesel CX-80s identically to petrols will likely lead to a surge in showroom traffic, as customers who were previously deterred by the higher cost of diesel models will now be more inclined to consider them

What it means for the order bank

The reduced price gap between diesel and petrol CX-80s will also impact stock and ordering, as dealers will need to adjust their inventory to meet the expected increase in demand for diesel models

PHEV models, now only $5000 more than petrols, will also attract more customers who are looking for a more environmentally friendly option without breaking the bank

Competitor response and pricing strategy

Competitors in the segment will need to reassess their pricing strategy to remain competitive, potentially leading to a price war that could benefit customers but also squeeze dealer margins

The price adjustment also presents an opportunity for dealers to review their marketing and lead handling strategies to effectively target customers who are interested in diesel and PHEV models

Taking action

One decisive action dealers can take this week is to review their current inventory and adjust their ordering to ensure they have a sufficient supply of diesel and PHEV CX-80 models to meet the expected increase in demand
