ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The integration of novated leasing into the vehicle purchasing process will increase showroom traffic for BYD and DENZA models, as employees who can salary-sacrifice for a novated lease will be more likely to visit dealerships to explore their options.

This partnership will give BYD and DENZA a competitive edge over other Chinese brands in the Australian market, as it provides a unique financing option that can help reduce the upfront costs of purchasing a vehicle.

What it means for the order bank

The closer integration of novated leasing into the purchasing process will also impact stock and ordering for BYD and DENZA models, as dealers will need to ensure they have the right mix of vehicles in stock to meet the demand from customers who are taking advantage of novated leasing.

Dealers who are prepared to offer novated leasing options will be able to attract a wider range of customers, including those who are looking for a more affordable way to purchase a premium vehicle like DENZA.

Pricing and margin considerations

The partnership between NLA and BYD/DENZA will also have implications for pricing and margin, as dealers will need to balance the benefits of offering novated leasing with the potential impact on their profit margins.

To remain competitive, dealers may need to adjust their pricing strategies to take into account the reduced upfront costs of novated leasing, while also ensuring they are not sacrificing too much margin.

Taking action

This week, dealers can take the first step towards preparing for the integration of novated leasing into their showrooms by contacting NLA to learn more about the partnership and how they can get involved.
