ADME commentary
The ADME angle
The absence of a confirmed local release for the updated Leapmotor B10 creates uncertainty for Australian dealers who have been selling the model successfully
What it means for the order bank
Dealers who have existing orders for the B10 will need to manage customer expectations and decide whether to wait for a potential local release of the updated model or offer alternative options
The B10's success in Australia suggests that customers are looking for affordable EV options, and the updated model's increased range and power would likely be attractive to local buyers
Competitor response
Other Chinese brands operating in the Australian market, such as BYD and MG, may respond to the updated B10 by promoting their own EV models and highlighting any advantages they may have over the Leapmotor
Dealers can take advantage of this competitive dynamic by emphasizing the strengths of the B10 and other models in their portfolio, while also being prepared to discuss the updated B10's features and potential local release
This week, dealers can review their current B10 stock and ordering pipeline to determine the best course of action and prepare for potential customer inquiries about the updated model
