ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Mazda's decision to bring hybrid technology to its larger SUVs, including the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90, will directly challenge Toyota's dominance in the Australian SUV market

What it means for the order bank

The arrival of the Mazda CX-5 Hybrid in 2027 will likely lead to increased showroom traffic, as customers compare the new model to Toyota's existing hybrid offerings

Mazda's hybrid expansion will also put pressure on pricing and margins, as dealers will need to be competitive with Toyota's established hybrid models

Competitor response and marketing

Toyota will likely respond to Mazda's hybrid expansion by promoting its own hybrid technology and highlighting the benefits of its established models, such as the RAV4 Hybrid

Australian dealers should focus on highlighting the unique features and benefits of Mazda's hybrid models, such as their performance and fuel efficiency, to attract customers away from Toyota

Taking action

This week, dealers can start preparing for the increased competition by reviewing their stock and ordering processes, and developing marketing strategies that showcase the advantages of Mazda's hybrid SUVs, such as the CX-5 Hybrid and upcoming larger models
