As the important plate-change month of September gets under way, I’d like to send a message to everyone in our UK dealer network.
Firstly – I hope everyone in the network is well. I’m pleased to report that as September begins, we have some good customer order trend momentum behind us, built up over the past few months.
Looking at some of our key models individually, Juke Hybrid has been well received across all of our main customer channels and has given a boost to our customer order trend over the summer.
ARIYA demos have now arrived in all of our network outlets, giving us another strong and positive message for both existing and conquest customers.
Let’s not forget ARIYA is the current Auto Express Car of the Year which definitely gives us something to shout about!
Very shortly, you will also receive a Qashqai e-POWER demo, which again will give us something different and unique to highlight to our customers.
As we know, Nissan’s e-POWER technology delivers a thrilling electrified driving experience – but without the need to plug in to charge, giving Qashqai a distinct advantage over its competitors.
At the same time, we start to see Qashqai production levels start to grow from early September, increasing progressively during the rest of the year.
This again will prove helpful. Some manufacturers are still unable to give customer delivery dates with any reliability, so please ensure you convey this as part of your usual robust sales process.
And finally, good luck with the remainder of P3!
Regards, Michael
