This year, because of the lack of cores, many hot-selling SUVs have greatly reduced market discounts, but even so, as the "first SUV" of many consumers, the joint venture small SUV still maintains high sales, of which Honda's two home SUV - XR-V and Binzhi sales are the most popular.
According to the latest preferential data, the terminal discount between the two in Guangdong has dropped from the previous 13,000 to 3-6,000 today, as a model that is about to be replaced, such a performance is indeed unexpected.
However, their derivative models, the concept VE-1/Siming X-NV, are "broken bones" in some channels, and the official guidance price is 159,800/169,800 directly down to the early 100,000, which is equivalent to a 40% discount! And the cost of 100 kilometers is less than a cup of milk tea, and it does not need to spend 1000+ maintenance every year. What is such a good thing? Are those two Honda SUVs worth buying?
On a fish, we search for "new X-NV" or "new VE-1" and we find that their price is basically 100,000-110,000. And their official guidance prices can be 169,800-17.98 million, 159,800-184,800, which is equivalent to a discount of 60,000, a 40% discount! This makes them the cheapest Honda SUV available in The country.
Nowadays, the channel is divided into 20 models, 21 models, 22 models, of which VE-1 is not only for the travel version of the car, 22 models of the price increased by 1,000 yuan, but 21 wheels from 17 inches to 19 inches, and increased the remote start, full LCD dashboard, 12.3-inch screen, mobile phone wireless charging and mood lights and other configurations, considering the price of about 120,000, extremely cost-effective, but also the most sought after configuration on the market today.
However, in terms of price, the price of 22 models is about 5,000 yuan higher, the preferential range is slightly less than that of 21 models, and the most preferential is the 20 models with a range of 401 kilometers, and most of the "channel dealers" say that they are "out of stock". Thinking like this, The buyer suddenly understood why these two pure electric SUVs suddenly increased their visibility sharply in some third- and fourth-tier cities.
And the prices of these channel providers are obviously not unified, and the prices will fluctuate because of transportation costs and other reasons. The buyer saw a channel merchant in Guangzhou, but the price of X-NV was 110,000, and the whole board (car) packaged sales were only 103,000. On a certain channel in Haikou, the price is only 100,000, and the coastal port city is obviously lower due to transportation costs.
The concept VE-1 is lower in the place of origin - Guangzhou, and the channel price of a distributor is only 95,000, and even the landing price, including about 5,000 yuan of insurance costs.
But they are also not the kind of cheap "industrial waste", which is still the most valuable pure electric SUV at the same price in the eyes of the buyer. The concept VE-1 and Siming X-NV, respectively, are the products of "oil to electricity" of Binzhi and X-RV, inheriting many advantages of both sides. First of all, the large space brought by the MM design concept, the overall performance is outstanding in the small SUV, compared to some fuel SUVs are not inferior, such as Binzhi / XR-V to meet the small two-port travel is completely no problem.
The configuration is not bad, aside from the VE-1 travel version of the two series of standard 4 airbags, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, 8-inch central control screen and automatic air conditioning and other configurations, of which VE1 more such as LED headlights, 18-inch wheels (21 models), imitation leather seats and other configurations, so even if the choice of low-end models does not appear "cold".
The power performance is a major highlight, both sides are equipped with 163 horsepower front motors, peak torque reached 280 Nm, equivalent to the output level of 1.5T engines. The battery pack is a higher price and stronger low temperature resistance ternary lithium battery pack, with a capacity of 61.3 kWh, allowing them to achieve a comprehensive endurance of 465km (X-NV) and 470-480km (VE-1).
Looking at China's 100,000-130,000 pure electric market, the main opponents of VE-1 and X-NV are Euler Good Cat and BYD Dolphin, and these two Honda models have inherent advantages - they are the SUV models that Chinese people prefer, and the space performance is obviously better than that of competitors.
Ve-1 and X-NV advantages also lie in the stronger power of the whole series, as compared to the Euler good cat maximum power of 143 horsepower, BYD Dolphin is 95-177 horsepower, and the same price point compared to the longer endurance, Euler good cat endurance of 400-500km, BYD dolphin 301-405km. Therefore, at the same price, its own strength belongs to the "dimensionality reduction attack", the joint venture identity attacks Chinese brands, and there are stronger performance parameters.
In addition, it is also necessary to struggle with its identity of "pure electric vehicles", many people think that they are "electric daddies", but they are actually used to be fragrant, and they are not exclusive to first- and second-tier limited city users. Well, please let me tell you the reasons, so that you can understand why it has higher visibility in third- and fourth-tier cities.
Straight to the green card, no purchase tax
As a new energy vehicle, X-NV and VE-1 can be directly on the green card, and in some cities, it is still free of lottery, and it can save 20,000-80,000 yuan here. For those price-sensitive users in third- and fourth-tier cities, they pay more attention to the benefits of new energy vehicles exempted from purchase tax, and they can save about 13,000 purchase taxes here.
Enough endurance, less than a penny per kilometer!
As mentioned above, the endurance of both mishaps exceeds 460 km, and the actual endurance is about 380 km, if calculated according to the daily commute of 30 km, it is completely fine to cope with two weeks of commuting. The owner feedbacks that the electricity consumption is 15 kWh / 100 km, under the premise of personal charging piles and valley electricity, the cost per kilometer is about four cents, and commuting to work is cheaper than taking the bus! Compared with 1.5T Binzhi, according to the price of 92 gasoline of 7 yuan / L, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 8L 100 kilometers and 20,000 kilometers per year, 10,400 yuan can be saved every year!
Virtually maintenance-free, saving more than 2,000 a year
Because there is no engine transmission, neither the X-NV nor the VE-1 needs to replace consumables such as oil and triple filters. For comparison, the 1.5L Binzhi small maintenance cost is 407 yuan, and the maintenance interval is 5000km, in other words, it takes 4 maintenance times a year, a total of 1628 yuan! Therefore, choosing these two pure electric SUVs can save at least 1628 yuan in maintenance costs every year!
Although these SUVs are cheap, will there be problems? The answer is yes, after all, private sellers are no less expensive than manufacturer-controlled 4S stores. However, these models still enjoy the national joint warranty, maintenance and repair are carried out in the 4S store, as long as it does not involve three packages of such troubles, it is no different from the general purchase of a car.
Because according to the three-guarantee policy, "who sells who is responsible", if the vehicle needs to be handled in three packages, the responsibility of the three guarantees is borne by the seller, and then the seller recovers from the producer and other operators.
Secondly, there is a possible car purchase scam, it is possible to defraud the "transportation costs" of the situation, it is found that some of the dealers in this channel are not available for sale, and more are transported from all over the country to the customer side, which is justified and the transportation costs are generated. And because the amount of money involved is small, it is difficult to file a case for investigation.
Overall, the two cheapest Honda-series SUVs are the most worthwhile models at the same price, saving more than 10,000 yuan per year compared to fuel vehicles. Therefore, if you can find a reliable channel dealer with a current car, and try to handle the procedures such as loans and licenses as much as possible, then spending 100,000+ to buy them is the best choice for the price.
