ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The introduction of mild-hybrid technology in the T-Roc is a clear indication that Volkswagen is committed to reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency in its vehicles, which will be a major selling point for environmentally conscious customers

What it means for the order bank

Dealers should start preparing their order banks for the new T-Roc, taking into account the increased interest in hybrid and EV vehicles, and ensure they have a sufficient stock of the new model to meet demand

The improved safety features and sophisticated interior of the new T-Roc will also be major drawcards for customers, and dealers should be prepared to highlight these features in their marketing and sales pitches

Competitor response

Other manufacturers, such as Toyota and Hyundai, have already introduced hybrid models in the same segment as the T-Roc, so Volkswagen's move is likely a response to this competition, and dealers should be prepared to compare the features and benefits of the T-Roc to those of its competitors

The arrival of the new T-Roc in early 2027 gives dealers plenty of time to prepare their marketing and sales strategies, and to train their staff on the benefits and features of the new model

Action plan

This week, dealers should review their current stock and ordering processes to ensure they are prepared for the arrival of the new T-Roc, and start developing a marketing plan that highlights the benefits of mild-hybrid technology and the improved safety features and interior of the new model
