ADME commentary
The ADME angle
Geely's introduction of the Emgrand L EM-i PHEV sedan and two new SUVs will increase competition in the Australian plug-in hybrid market, particularly in the sedan segment where the Toyota Camry currently dominates.
The addition of an all-wheel drive variant to the Geely Starray EM-i range, specifically the Inspire AWD, will help meet demand for all-wheel drive capability in the Australian market.
What it means for the order bank
Australian dealers can expect increased interest in Geely models, particularly with the reveal of two new SUVs at the Everything Electric show in Sydney on September 18, which will likely generate buzz and drive showroom traffic.
The Emgrand L EM-i PHEV sedan's smaller size compared to the Toyota Camry will appeal to buyers looking for a more compact plug-in hybrid sedan option, potentially drawing customers away from established brands.
Competitor response and pricing
The arrival of Geely's new models will put pressure on other manufacturers, such as Toyota, to review their pricing and product offerings in the plug-in hybrid segment to remain competitive.
Action plan
This week, dealers can start preparing for the increased interest in Geely models by reviewing their inventory and pricing strategies to ensure they are competitive and ready to capitalize on the buzz generated by the Everything Electric show.
