ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The arrival of Geely's best-selling hatchback in Australia is a significant development, as it brings a new player into the competitive small car segment

What it means for the order bank

With Australian BEV sales passing the 20% mark for the second month in a row, dealers should be preparing for increased demand for electric vehicles and adjusting their stock orders accordingly

The success of Geely's hatchback will depend on its pricing and features, which will be crucial in attracting price-sensitive buyers in the small car segment

Competitor response

Other manufacturers, particularly those with established small car models, will need to respond to the arrival of Geely's hatchback with competitive pricing and marketing strategies

Dealers should be monitoring the market closely and adjusting their pricing and inventory levels to remain competitive

Taking action

One decisive action dealers can take this week is to review their current stock levels and ordering processes to ensure they are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles and compete with new entrants like Geely
