ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The launch of the GWM Haval H7 PHEV at $49,990 drive-away is a direct challenge to Toyota's dominance in the medium SUV segment, and dealers should expect a surge in customer inquiries about the new model

What it means for the order bank

With the Haval H7 PHEV's competitive pricing and impressive specs, Toyota dealers may see a decline in RAV4 PHEV sales, and should review their stock and ordering strategies to minimize losses

The Haval H7 PHEV's 320kW and all-wheel drive capabilities will appeal to customers seeking a powerful and capable medium SUV, and dealers should be prepared to highlight these features in their marketing and sales pitches

Competitor response

Other OEMs, including Toyota, will need to respond to the Haval H7 PHEV's aggressive pricing, either by reducing their own prices or offering more attractive incentives to customers

The claimed 137km electric range of the Haval H7 PHEV will also appeal to customers seeking a more environmentally friendly vehicle, and dealers should be prepared to provide detailed information about the model's eco-credentials

Taking action

This week, dealers should review their pricing and inventory strategies to ensure they are competitive in the medium SUV segment, and consider offering special promotions or incentives to customers who purchase the Haval H7 PHEV or other models in the segment
