ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Mercedes-AMG GT SUV's impressive specs, including up to 860kW and 700km range, will likely draw in customers who are looking for a high-performance electric vehicle, potentially increasing showroom traffic for dealers who carry the brand.

What it means for the order bank

Dealers who stock the GT SUV will need to be prepared to handle a potentially high volume of orders, given the model's competitive specs and the growing demand for electric vehicles in the Australian market.

The GT SUV's target of Porsche's Cayenne Turbo Coupe EV means that dealers will need to be prepared to compare and contrast the two models, highlighting the unique features and benefits of the Mercedes-AMG offering.

Pricing and margin considerations

The GT SUV's pricing will be crucial in determining its competitiveness in the market, and dealers will need to be prepared to negotiate and discuss pricing with customers who are comparing the model to other luxury electric SUVs.

The 710kW charging feature of the GT SUV will be a major selling point, and dealers should be prepared to educate customers on the benefits of this feature and how it compares to other models in the segment.

Competitor response and marketing strategy

Porsche's response to the GT SUV will be important to watch, as the company may adjust its pricing or marketing strategy in response to the new competitor, and dealers should be prepared to adapt their own marketing efforts accordingly.

One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to review their current inventory and ordering processes to ensure they are prepared to handle the expected demand for the GT SUV when it arrives in Australia next year.
