Kia and MINI have been named as the most sensible brands across UK dealerships in the latest National Association of Franchised Dealers (NFDA) Dealer Attitude Survey (DAS).
The lowest overall score for the manufacturer went to Jaguar, while Jeep’s top score advanced to the summer 2023 survey.
The Winter 2024 edition of the DAS took place between the end of January and the beginning of March 2024 and raised questions for distributors about ongoing business relationships with manufacturers.
Distributors’ satisfaction with existing earnings saw a slight decrease, with an average score of 6. 1, -0. 1 less than in the summer 2023 edition (-1. 6% change).
Conversely, brokers’ satisfaction ratings related to long-term earnings seem more optimistic, averaging 6. 1, an increase of 0. 3.
Concerns remain among dealerships whose brands have EV charging infrastructure on their premises, with an average score of 5. 2 out of 10, the lowest score in the entire survey.
Sue Robinson, Chief Executive of the National Association of Franchised Dealers (NFDA), said: “The NFDA would like to congratulate Kia for consistently demonstrating excellence within its dealer network and for qualifying as the number one logo for the third time in a row.
“In this edition of the NFDA Dealer Attitude Survey, Kia ranked first in each and every EV theme, an accomplishment, especially as automakers prepare to transition to EVs.
