Jimney Suzuki is expected to return
Happy New Year! Don't know what plans you have to buy a car in 2022? For off-road fans, there is a good news to share in the New Year, that is, Jimney is back! This week, a domestic blogger posted on the social platform that the parallel import of Suzuki Jimney is about to return to the Chinese market, the new model meets the national 6 emission standards, and the probability can meet the strict national 6b emissions, which means that the new jimney is expected to be sold in Beijing and other cities. As for the price, the current pre-sale price of Jimney is as high as 328,800, which is even more expensive than the tank 300 by more than 100,000...
The current Jimney is a small off-road vehicle launched by Suzuki in 2018, the fifth generation of the Jimney series, the shape design is more tough than the previous generation, the boxy body and round headlights, it looks like a small Mercedes-Benz G feeling.
The interior part is also simple, everything is based on practical design, even if it was placed 10 years ago, this interior is not so fashionable, after all, the price of this car in Japan is about 100,000 yuan, and the interior part is relatively simple and reasonable. Only in the hands of domestic parallel importers, the asking price is more than 300,000, but it is somewhat the meaning of harvesting IQ tax.
As for the chassis and power part, Jimney uses the non-bearing body structure with independent girders commonly found in off-road vehicles, and adopts the same structure as the Wrangler's front and rear integral bridge type non-independent suspension. In terms of powertrain, the K-Car version in Japan uses a 0.66T engine, while the global version sold overseas uses a 1.5L four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 102 horsepower and a maximum torque of 130N·m, with a 5MT or 4AT gearbox, and a very simple and reliable time-sharing four-wheel drive system.
To tell the truth, with Jimney's positioning and product strength, if the domestic price of 150,000 or 60,000 is acceptable, after all, the official import price of the previous generation of models is 140,000-160,000 yuan. Nowadays, the parallel import version is quoted at more than 300,000 yuan, and there is really no reason to buy it except for the illusory feelings...

New energy special insurance was launched
On December 27, 12 insurance companies, including PICC and Ping An, collectively launched a new special insurance for new energy vehicles. The new energy special insurance focuses on increasing the protection for vehicle spontaneous combustion and the three electric (motor, battery, electronic control) system to meet the special insurance needs of new energy models. It should be known that the previous traditional automobile insurance did not have exclusive insurance clauses for the new energy vehicle three-electric system, so after the vehicle accident or spontaneous combustion caused by the damage to the three-electric system, there will often be a phenomenon of "fighting" between the insurance company and the owner. Nowadays, the special insurance for new energy especially includes the three-electricity system in the insurance coverage, which can also be regarded as keeping pace with the times.
However, after the implementation of the new insurance, many new energy car owners said that the premium of the vehicle has risen a lot compared with before, and even a Tesla Model Y owner has issued a premium quotation. As can be seen from the above figure, when the new energy captive insurance was not implemented on December 23, the total insurance quotation of the vehicle was 8278.62 yuan, and after the new insurance was launched on December 27, the premium became 14902.52 yuan, a sharp increase of more than 6000 yuan! Among them, the increase is mainly concentrated in car damage insurance, in the case of the insurance amount of 363,900 unchanged, the car damage insurance premium rose from 5797.92 yuan to 12736.43 yuan, an increase of 7000 yuan. However, some netizens said that their vehicles did not rise after the implementation of the new insurance, and may also be different according to different models, historical insurance conditions, violations and so on.
