Market Analysis of WEY Latte DHT:
Obviously, WEY Latte DHT is mainly competing with domestic boutiques (Geely Xingyue L, Lynk & Co 01) and joint venture brand mainstream SUVs (Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tuyue), of which luxurious interiors, rich intelligent configurations and riding comfort are the advantages of Latte DHT, but in the same price mix, BYD Song DM-i plug-in mix (limited purchase city also sends cards) is also the biggest opponent.
Compared with other competitors at the same price, latte DHT is a new hybrid system to suppress the opponent's fuel version of the model, if the power and fuel consumption have achieved the mainstream level of hybrid, then not only can rely on these two points to highlight the advantages, but also can also solve the historical problem of high fuel consumption on the previous VV5 and other models.
In addition, from the perspective of the market, although WEY is nominally a luxury brand, the recognition is not high, but consumers at this price point pay more attention to whether the whole vehicle is worth the money, and this WEY latte DHT is powerful, so on the whole, latte DHT will still have its own market.
