ADME commentary
The ADME angle
The return of a petrol-powered Hyundai Palisade, particularly the more rugged XRT Pro, directly challenges the diesel-dominated large SUV segment in Australia.
This move by Hyundai is a clear attempt to capture a larger share of the petrol-powered SUV market, which has been growing in recent years.
What it means for the order bank
Dealers can expect an increase in inquiries and orders for the petrol-powered Palisade, especially from customers who prefer the smoother and quieter ride of a petrol engine.
The XRT Pro's more rugged features will also appeal to customers who want a vehicle that can handle off-road driving, further increasing its appeal.
Competitor response and pricing
Competitors such as Toyota and Ford will need to reassess their pricing and feature offerings to remain competitive, potentially leading to a price war in the large SUV segment.
Hyundai's move to offer a petrol-powered Palisade will put pressure on other manufacturers to review their engine options and respond accordingly.
Action for dealers
Dealers should review their current stock and ordering processes to ensure they can meet the expected increase in demand for the petrol-powered Palisade, and consider offering competitive pricing and promotions to attract customers.
