In the August edition of AutoTalk Australia we report on Eblen Subaru Glenelg which claimed its seventh National Retailer of the Year title.
We also report on the Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) calling on the Federal Government to exempt family-owned and small to medium franchised dealerships from Australia’s new mandatory merger notification regime.
In other news, a new AADA-commissioned review finding Australia’s consumer law framework is failing both car buyers and franchised dealers, Mazda Australia is launching a Guaranteed Future Value finance product for EV buyers, DFAC Trucks has confirmed seven foundation dealers for its Australian launch and the BMW iX3 has become the first vehicle rated under ANCAP’s tougher new Stages of Safety regime with five stars.
Plus, we examine the latest VFACTS data, which shows battery electric vehicles topped 20% of Australian new vehicle sales as the market posted its strongest July on record, while used EV sales continued to surge despite a softer overall used vehicle market.
