NADA 2026: Why Dealers Are Meeting with Xcite

Written by Xcite Auto | Dec 23, 2025 6:30:41 PM

Every year, NADA brings the auto industry together to talk about what’s next. New tools, new ideas, new promises.

But heading into NADA 2026, the conversations dealers actually want aren't about ideas and possibilities. 

General managers, GSMs, and internet directors are looking for better ways to sell more cars. They want to know how to eliminate merchandising bottlenecks, and how to stop losing momentum between acquisition and sale.

That’s why Xcite Automotive will be at NADA 2026. And it's why dealers are booking time with us now to talk at the show.

What Dealers Are Focused On Going Into NADA 2026

If you listen to dealer conversations, a pattern shows up. The questions they're asking are practical.

  • “Why does it still take days to get cars online?”
  • “Why are recon and detail backing us up?”
  • “How did our VDP photos get so inconsistent?”
  • “Why is our online engagement dropping?”
  • “How do we ensure the consumer trusts us every step of the way?”

These are marketing, sales and operational issues. In 2026, they matter more than ever.

We're not coming to NADA to talk in generalities. We’ll be in Las Vegas because dealerships are actively looking for ways to improve physical and digital frontlines without adding stress to their teams.

Our work sits at the intersection of speed, consistency, and trust. We help dealers:

  • Get vehicles frontline-ready faster
  • Eliminate photo and detail bottlenecks
  • Improve consistency across all inventory
  • Strengthen VDP engagement
  • Reduce internal workloads
  • Sell more vehicles

Book a meeting to talk through your workflow for getting cars sold faster.

What You Can Expect from Your Meeting at NADA

When dealers sit down with us at NADA, we start by understanding how your store or your group actually operates. We talk through and help you solve:

  • How long it takes your vehicles to go live
  • Where recon or detail slows you down
  • How consistent your photos are
  • How much time managers are spending fixing merchandising issues
  • What happens when volume spikes

For many dealers, it’s the first time they’ve stepped back and looked at merchandising as a system instead of a series of fires to put out. Merchandise your inventory in 2026 the right way. The Xcite way.

NADA schedules fill up fast. Book your meeting now.
