ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The updated Tasman and next-generation Carnival and Sorento will likely attract new customers to Kia showrooms, potentially increasing showroom traffic and leading to more sales opportunities

What it means for the order bank

Dealers should review their current stock and ordering processes to ensure they can meet demand for the new models, particularly the Carnival and Sorento which are due in 2028

The introduction of new Kia models will put pressure on competitors in the Utes and 4x4s segment, such as other OEMs, to respond with their own updates or new models

Competitor response and pricing

Kia's focus on EVs and hybrids may lead to changes in pricing and margin for the new models, which could impact dealers' profitability

Dealers should be prepared to handle leads and inquiries from customers interested in the new Kia models, and have a strategy in place for marketing and promoting the updated Tasman and next-generation Carnival and Sorento

Taking action

This week, dealers can start reviewing their sales and marketing strategies to prepare for the upcoming Kia models and potential changes in customer demand, and consider reaching out to their OEM representative to get more information about the updated Tasman and next-generation Carnival and Sorento
