ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The confirmation of the 2027 Kia Seltos Hybrid's specs is a significant development for Australian dealers, as it allows them to start planning their marketing and sales strategies for the new model.

What it means for the order bank

With the Seltos Hybrid's strong levels of tech as standard, dealers can expect increased interest from customers who are looking for a vehicle with advanced features.

The fact that the tech is standard from the base grades means that dealers will need to be prepared to explain the benefits of these features to a wider range of customers, not just those who are looking at higher-end models.

Competitor response

The launch of the Seltos Hybrid will likely prompt a response from competitors in the hybrid and EV segment, and dealers will need to be prepared to compare the features and benefits of the Seltos Hybrid to those of other models.

Dealers who are prepared to showcase the advanced tech features of the Seltos Hybrid will be well-positioned to take advantage of the increased interest in hybrid and EV models.

Taking action

This week, dealers can start reviewing their sales and marketing materials to ensure they are highlighting the key features and benefits of the Seltos Hybrid, and preparing their staff to answer customer questions about the new model.
