ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The most immediate impact of this trend will be on showroom traffic, as buyers increasingly expect to see advanced features in the vehicles they test drive

What it means for the order bank

Dealers who stock vehicles with advanced features will be better positioned to attract and retain customers, particularly in the mainstream segment where Chinese brands like MG are making a strong play

The availability of advanced features in mainstream vehicles will also put pressure on pricing and margin, as buyers will be expecting more value for their money

Competitor response and market dynamics

Competitors who fail to adapt to this trend will risk being left behind, as buyers become increasingly savvy about the technology available in vehicles

Dealers should be prepared to highlight the advanced features of their vehicles in their marketing and lead handling, to attract buyers who are looking for the latest technology

Taking action

One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to review their stock and ordering to ensure they have a range of vehicles with advanced features available to meet growing customer demand
