It was targeted by scalpers before it was listed, not because the tank 500 was too strong, but because other friends were too weak
At the Guangzhou Auto Show some time ago, the new tank 500 off-road vehicle has opened pre-sale, although the official pre-price is given, but it is not officially listed, and the first batch of scheduled owners have not got the current car. In such a case, the tank 500 model has been targeted by scalpers, because some people think that this car will continue the heat of tank 300, it may be difficult to mention the existing car in the short term, if the queue time is relatively long, then the scalper will be profitable to place an order.
According to official statistics, the number of orders reached more than 13,000 units in 20 minutes on the day of the pre-sale, and then the number of orders received by the factory exceeded 40,000 units, if these are all valid orders, it can be said that the heat has surpassed the tank 300. But in fact, Great Wall Motors itself has confirmed the existence of scalpers, the first batch of at least 200 orders are invalid orders, and then the Great Wall Tank brand has also formulated a stricter booking policy, an account can only book one, and to keep the name and mobile phone number consistent before and after.
The new booking strategy can effectively avoid scalper scalper scalping, but it is expected that the vast majority of scheduled car owners will not be able to get a current car before the Spring Festival, even if the new base of Great Wall Motors Jingmen is built, the production capacity is still relatively limited, mainly because the supply chain system is limited. This shows from the side that the tank 500 is another successful volume product, and the pre-sale starting price is as high as 335,000, even so it cannot stop the enthusiasm of consumers. In fact, it is not that the tank 500 is too strong, but because other friends are indeed too weak.
Hardcore off-road vehicles in The country is a niche product, Ji libya di An chery these brands in the field of SUVs quite a bit, but when it comes to hardcore off-road vehicles, it is blind, because these first-line independent brands do not have experience in creating non-bearing off-road products, and lack of high-performance large-displacement engines.
Tank 500 in the field of independent brands almost no opponent, the only more similar is beijing bj80, these two cars from the design sense is considered to have their own characteristics, but the core three major pieces of configuration comparison will find that Beijing bj80 is obviously behind a cut, although there is a 3.0T large displacement V6 engine support, but the maximum output power is only 280 horsepower, and the Great Wall tank 500 with the same displacement can squeeze out 354 horsepower, the gearbox or 9at.
So the tank 500 itself is a lack of competitors, the domestic field can be laughed at, and the overseas brand imported hardcore off-road vehicle price is too expensive, take the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser, the current parallel import port dealer quotation has generally reached 1.5 million or so, landing or even more than 2 million, but all aspects of performance is not much stronger than the tank 500, the price is far beyond the ability of ordinary wage earners to bear.
The domestic off-road vehicle market cake is so big, Great Wall Motors preconceived, follow-up other domestic friends want to develop hardcore off-road vehicles The pressure is even greater, even if it takes a lot of effort to create a tank 500 competitor, if there is no absolute advantage, it is difficult to defeat the Great Wall off-road camp.
