ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Geely's confirmation of two new plug-in hybrid SUVs for Australia in 2027, including an 830kW Toyota Prado rival, will put pressure on Toyota to respond with competitive offerings, potentially disrupting the traditional 4WD segment.

The success of Geely's compact affordable models, such as the EX2, EX5, and Starray EM-i, demonstrates the brand's ability to attract price-sensitive buyers, which could lead to increased competition in the affordable SUV segment.

What it means for the order bank

Dealers should prepare for potential changes in customer demand, as the arrival of Geely's new models may lead to a shift in sales mix, with more customers opting for plug-in hybrid options.

The expansion of Geely's offering, including a sensible sedan, will give dealers more opportunities to attract a wider range of customers, potentially increasing showroom traffic and sales.

Competitor response and pricing

Toyota and Ford will need to reassess their pricing strategies to remain competitive, particularly in the 4WD segment, where Geely's 830kW Prado rival will pose a significant threat.

Dealers should monitor competitor pricing and adjust their own strategies accordingly to maintain margin and sales volume.

Action plan

This week, dealers should review their current stock and ordering processes to ensure they are prepared to respond to changes in customer demand and competitor activity, and consider adjusting their marketing and lead handling strategies to capitalize on the arrival of Geely's new models.
