ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The 2028 Hyundai Kona's more rugged design could lead to increased competition in the small SUV segment, potentially drawing customers away from other brands

Segment Shift

The small SUV segment is highly competitive, and the new Kona's design may appeal to customers who previously considered other brands such as Toyota or Mazda

The Hyundai Kona's expected 2028 launch gives dealers time to review their current stock and ordering strategies to ensure they are prepared for the potential shift in customer demand

Pricing and Margin

The new Kona's design and features may also impact pricing and margin for dealers, as customers may be willing to pay a premium for the updated model

The more rugged design may also lead to increased sales of higher trim levels, which could result in higher profit margins for dealers

Action Plan

Dealers can start preparing for the launch by reviewing their current sales data and customer feedback to identify opportunities to tailor their marketing and sales strategies to the new Kona's target demographic, and adjust their stock and ordering plans accordingly, such as increasing orders of higher trim levels or offering special promotions to attract customers who are interested in the new design
