ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The $1000 price hike for the updated Honda Accord will likely deter some price-sensitive customers, potentially reducing showroom traffic and affecting sales numbers

What it means for the order bank

With the Accord being the brand's slowest seller, the price increase may exacerbate the existing sales challenges, making it essential for dealers to review their stock and ordering strategies

The loss of two years of Honda Connect subscription is a significant downgrade, and dealers should be prepared to communicate the value proposition of the updated model to customers

Competitor response and pricing strategy

Competitors in the sedan segment may seize the opportunity to promote their own models as more affordable or feature-rich alternatives, putting pressure on Honda dealers to defend their pricing and margin

The updated Accord's pricing and features will require dealers to adjust their marketing and lead handling strategies to effectively communicate the vehicle's value to potential customers

Taking action

This week, dealers can review their current Accord stock and pricing, and develop a plan to address customer concerns and promote the updated model's unique selling points to minimize the impact of the price increase and reduced Honda Connect subscription
