The principle of "buying new and not buying old" generally applies to all walks of life, but it is not a panacea, after all, some new elements or new changes are not necessarily what consumers are pursuing, and the same is true in the automotive industry. On the one hand, the new car brings about the upgrade of the appearance, interior and even the power system, but at the same time, it may erase the original "classic", coupled with the terminal discount of the old model, it will make people make it difficult to choose. Today the old driver sorted out a few models that are better to buy new than to buy old, and see if I have not talked about your hearts. (The pictures are all the latest models)
MINI JCW
Old driver spicy comments:
MINI JCW (hereinafter referred to as JCW) full name is John Cooper Works, representing the top car or performance of MINI, the current domestic JCW has to sell MINI, CLUBMAN, COUNTRYMAN and other models to provide performance versions, JCW will always be because of the cute and compact design and ignored performance. Although it is very small, it is not cheap at all, and the landing is close to 360,000.
Mainly equipped with bmw 330i the same 2.0T model B48A20B engine, the data big brother tuning will be slightly more honest, the maximum horsepower of 231 horses, peak torque 320 ng · meters, but because it is a small car, the overall quality is also light, and then match the 8AT gearbox, so it is very good to run. Its official 100-00-kilometer acceleration time is 6.1 seconds, which is 0.1 seconds less than the 330i. Compared with the surging power, JCW owners prefer its chassis performance, using the front McPherson rear multi-link independent suspension, tuning is hard, although the comfort is reduced, but in exchange for the sense of control is very obvious, after all, not many people buy JCW are for people, although it has 4 seats, but the two positions in the rear row are basically just decorations. In fact, the biggest drawback of this car is that it is expensive, and the cost of spending nearly 360,000 yuan to buy a "big toy" is not low. Judging from the recent sales data, JCW can be regarded as the unpopular in the cold door, many people will think that young people will prefer this kind of car, but from the perspective of car purchase data, the proportion of young consumers' purchase is extremely low, after all, the current concept of car purchase tends to be rational, after all, feelings can not be eaten as a meal, if you want to play, second-hand may be more worth a little.
Porsche Macan
As the lowest-priced models in Porsche at present, the Macan and 718 are the first cars for many consumers to realize their Porsche dreams, so their market attention has always been quite high. At the end of August last year, the new Macan was announced, and the guidance price of the new car was 554,000-84.80 million yuan, which was more than 20,000 yuan higher than the starting price of the old model, and the upgrade of the new Macan was remarkable. First of all, the appearance of the new car has become more concise in detail and looks more advanced, which is that the radish cabbage has its own love, if it is the personal preference of the old driver, I will prefer the old model, at least more like cayenne. The physical buttons near the new interior gear shift mechanism have all been cancelled and replaced by touch buttons, although the sense of technology has been significantly improved, but it is also a "fingerprint collector". In terms of power, the new model also has the first EA888 EVO4 2.0T engine, which is also the first time that the fourth-generation EA888 engine has entered the Chinese market, and the power parameters have also been improved.
So although the starting price of the new Macan has risen, but the engine performance has improved, for luxury brands, the increase of more than 20,000 yuan is not expensive, but combined with the configuration, affected by the shortage of chips, some models of the new Macan are forced to cancel the active suspension and keyless entry, and the car key is only given one. This is not to mention, the new Macan has not yet cashed a car, the time to pick up the car is also unknown, so it seems that the old Macan is more "practical", in addition to some dealers have existing cars, there will be discounts, if the new year wants to buy a car, the old Macan will be a more worry-free choice. Because Porsche's car retention rate is not low, which makes its used car seem to be less cost-effective, so if you can find the old Macan's new car, it is really a treasure.
Mercedes-Benz CLS
After the release of the first generation of Mercedes-Benz CLS that year, the design was unique, and the four-door coupe positioning opened up a new market segment. In particular, the second-generation CLS model, the body posture is more elegant than the S-Class, and it is also called "the most beautiful Mercedes-Benz" by riders. The later launch of the hunting version of the model is more elegant and practical to achieve perfect compatibility, I don't know how many people at that time cls Shootingbrake as Dreamcar.
Until the arrival of the third generation cls, Mercedes-Benz gave it a new design language, the title of "the most beautiful coupe" was gone, the design of the pair of triangle eyes was no different from the ordinary A-class, and it was easy to mistakenly think that it was a Mercedes-Benz A-class when driving out only to see the front, and the elegant atmosphere was instantly gone. There is also a rear line that does not have the soul of the second generation of "hips". But fortunately, the new CLS has made obvious progress in interior design, it adds more luxury than the previous model, after all, Mercedes-Benz's latest interior design is the design that everyone is competing to imitate at the moment.
Old drivers feel that many manufacturers want to make adjustments in the replacement of models can be understood, but for the positioning of vehicles and brands must be in mind, and the grasp of market demand should be in place. If the new car is getting worse and worse, and the style positioning is very different from the original, it is better to start a more affordable second-hand old model, just like SAIC Audi's A7L also faces the same problem, because there is no sneakback and is criticized by fans.
Generation F 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series (hereinafter referred to as the 3 Series) is the totem of the BMW brand, and the essence of the handling is almost all integrated into this B-class car. From the E36 to the G20 today, each chassis code is a symbol of the brilliance of the 3 Series. There are always friends who say "the good 3 Series is always the last generation model." "Because of the 3 Series in the G era, fans seem to recognize the F-era 3 Series more.
It is not that the G era 3 series is not good, such as the new shape, although the visual center of gravity of the front of the car is not as low as the previous model, but the sharper LED headlights and a few blackened designs also make the new car look younger and sportier. However, the 3 Series has been lengthened, with a length, width and height of 4719/1827/1459mm, and a wheelbase of 2851mm, although it has improved the riding comfort, but at the same time the handling has definitely decreased.
The F era 3 series has been criticized the most cheap interior, in the G era 3 series has also made a lot of changes, the overall carriage has a luxurious atmosphere and layering, the huge full LCD instrument and the central control screen and other blessings, but also to ensure a certain scientific and technological atmosphere, which is difficult to see bmw in the past, this is also where it progressed.
The new 3 Series is equipped with a low,00/high 2.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 156/184/258 hp and a maximum torque of 250/300/400 Nm, all matching the 8AT gearbox. The new BMW 3 Series has indeed made great progress in terms of dynamic sound insulation and chassis comfort, but on the contrary, in the past F era, the precise steering of the 3 Series, the flexible body responsiveness, the rapid gearbox shift responsiveness and the supportive chassis, etc., the new 3 Series has not been retained, and those Who have the ultimate pursuit of "control" Must feel that it is regressive, because they buy the 3 Series is to buy its control, otherwise why don't I buy a C-class sitting more spacious, look at the advanced, right? Of course, the 3 Series of the G era is comfortable + sporty, for ordinary consumers, there is nothing wrong with buying this brand, but if you love to drive, then the F Era 3 Series will be a better choice.
