ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The rapid growth of Chery and Omoda-Jaecoo in Australia is a wake-up call for dealers who have been slow to adapt to the changing market landscape, where affordable EVs and hybrids are increasingly in demand

The Entry-Level Advantage

Chery's success with the Tiggo 4 and other entry-level models suggests that Australian buyers are prioritizing affordability in their purchasing decisions, and dealers who can offer competitive pricing and value propositions will be better positioned to capitalize on this trend

The Jaecoo J5 EV, in particular, is an example of how Chinese brands are now offering high-quality, feature-packed vehicles at a lower price point than many established brands, which will force dealers to rethink their pricing and margin strategies

Competitor Response and Market Dynamics

Dealers who represent established brands will need to respond to the growing threat posed by Chery and other Chinese brands, potentially by offering more competitive pricing, improving their marketing and lead handling, or emphasizing the unique value propositions of their own brands

The fact that Chery is finding success with its upmarket sub-brand Omoda-Jaecoo also suggests that Australian buyers are willing to consider non-traditional brands if they offer the right combination of quality, features, and price

Taking Action

One decisive action dealers can take this week is to review their current inventory and pricing strategies to ensure they are competitive with Chery and other affordable EV and hybrid options, and consider adjusting their marketing and sales approaches to better appeal to budget-conscious buyers
