ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Nissan Ariya's ability to handle an Easter getaway to the Victorian border is a crucial test of its viability as a road trip vehicle, and its success could boost sales of the model in the Australian market

What it means for the order bank

The fact that the review is being conducted over the Easter period, a peak travel time in Australia, adds an extra layer of relevance to the test, as it simulates real-world usage patterns

Nissan's decision to provide a long-term test vehicle suggests that the company is confident in the Ariya's abilities and is willing to put it to the test in a variety of conditions

The review's focus on the vehicle's performance on a road trip also highlights the importance of range and charging infrastructure for Australian customers, who often drive long distances

Competitor response

Other manufacturers, such as Tesla and Hyundai, will be watching the Nissan Ariya's performance closely, as they seek to understand how their own EV models stack up against the competition

The success of the Nissan Ariya in this test could also put pressure on other manufacturers to provide similar long-term test vehicles, in order to demonstrate the capabilities of their own EV models

Action item

Dealers can take advantage of the Nissan Ariya's positive review by highlighting its road trip capabilities in their marketing and sales pitches, and by emphasizing the importance of range and charging infrastructure to potential customers, with a specific action item being to review and update their website and social media content to reflect the vehicle's capabilities and appeal to customers planning their own Easter getaways
