More and more people around me choose new energy, especially friends after the 90s are more and more willing to choose new energy, whether it is pure electricity or hybrid. There are not a few pure electric products around me, and the most intuitive feeling is that at the entrance of the gym, there are three Xiaopeng and one Weilai, and a BYD plug-in hybrid model.
New energy products have gradually penetrated into our side, and the strength and quality of products have also been recognized by a large number of consumers. After I learned about the friends who opened new energy around me, especially the domestic new energy, the answer was that the key energy supplement experience and the attention to users and the localization of products were the fundamental reasons for their choice of products.
Recently, a friend who drives a Volkswagen gasoline car around me began to think about changing the car, thinking about changing a new energy, plugging in the mix or pure electricity. (Note: This story is based on a real case)
With a budget of 200,000, can you choose a good hybrid?
Let's call him Xiao Tang for the time being, I am one year old and 29 years old this year, but I have been married for more than 4 years and my children are 3 years old. Therefore, his daily use of the car is 3 occupants in the car, and there is a certain demand for space. Volkswagen Bora, which has been driving the 2015 model before, has exceeded 200,000 kilometers. Before they had children, the two of them traveled by car in all provinces except Tibet and Xinjiang, which was really powerful.
Don't ask where the two came from, ask if the freelancers are both photographers and do their jobs while traveling. I made a little money, but I haven't changed the car, according to Xiao Tang's meaning, it is not necessary. Also, these two married even the wedding did not do, everything from jane, the money is spent on the improvement of the quality of life, in recent years several large-scale consumption is to buy a new house + start their own company.
Want to change new energy is also because their friends / relatives around them have been "infected" after someone bought, the child gradually grew up, they feel that even if they do not improve the car environment for themselves, they must give the child a better car experience. The current situation of the two people is to come up with about 200,000 to change an SUV, so they are entangled in pure electricity or hybrid? After Xiao Tang met me in the courtyard that day, he talked to me for a few words, and the advice I gave him was to change to a car that was plugged in or hybrid after that, and then he could change back to a fuel car, which was not very good.
Later, he also listened to my advice, and then made another difficulty in the choice of models. So I gave him two options, BYD Song PLUS DM-i, WEY Latte DHT. But Xiao Tang felt that he could also consider considering a fuel car at the same price, so he added a Geely Xingyue L with a wheelbase of nearly 2.9 meters.
In the end, Xiao Tang's choice was BYD Song PLUS DM-i, as for what is the reason? Let's move on.
BYD was good, but it wasn't decided on the day
The BYD 4S store that went first on the same day, on the weekend morning, we can be regarded as the first customers to go to the store to see the car; the flow of people in the store is not very large, and there are generally no people on the weekend morning. The advantage of this is that after registering the information, we were greeted by a staff member immediately after entering the store.
The price of the BYD Song PLUS DM-i plug-in mixed version is 146,800-199,800 yuan, and the price of the top match is close to 200,000, and the landing is definitely more than 200,000 car purchase budget, so Xiao Tang did not consider the top matching of that car. We asked two questions directly, the first is whether the flagship PLUS version with a range of 110km has any benefits? Is there a current car?
Unfortunately, the staff's answer is that there is no discount and no cash, if you wait for the car, it is estimated to be about 30 days to 45 days. Later, I asked Xiao Tang if he still watched? Xiao Tang's reply was "Look, they are coming, and I am not in a hurry to use the car."
After that, the staff began to introduce the relevant information of the vehicle, the wheelbase of the plug-in hybrid model is 2765mm, the best sold is also the flagship PLUS model with a range of 110km, and the official minimum charge state fuel consumption is 4.5L/100km. Moreover, this configuration of the model is relatively comprehensive in the configuration of active and passive safety, parallel line assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping function these configurations have been equipped, as well as full-speed adaptive cruise.
Xiao Tang also understood some basic configurations after the car experience, leather steering wheel + 12.3 inch LCD instrument to bring a good experience to the driver. As for the rear row, Xiao Tang experienced that the interior space of this car was much better than expected, spacious and comfortable. So let the staff arrange a test drive experience of this car, coincidentally, the version of the test drive is the same as the version that Xiao Tang likes.
I didn't accompany him after the test drive, and when he came back from the test drive, he had an idea of "I really want to sell my volkswagen now, hahaha.... It's still quiet at low speed, and when I cross the speed bump, it feels too neat, but it's much better than my Volkswagen, really." After calculating the price, the landing price of this car is about 176,000 yuan, which is very in line with Xiao Tang's car purchase budget.
Don didn't settle down immediately, because of me, I asked him to go and see other products in case there is a more suitable one? Not to mention that NOW BYD does not have a car, the waiting time is not short and there is no discount. But the next day, Xiao Tang went to the shop to book the car, as for why he didn't choose WEY and Geely? Let's talk.
Hybrid and fuel, can't love it?
The second stop, we went to the WEY brand store, which was too far away from BYD's 4S store, and it was already noon when we arrived at the store. There is not much traffic in the WEY brand 4S store, probably because of the meal, but there are staff and customers who come to pick up the car outside the store.
After a simple registration information, we started asking the staff if there were any offers and available cars. The staff replied that there was no discount but there was a cash car, but the color of the current car was not necessarily what we liked; if we rebooked, it would take more than a month to get it. After saying that, we first went outside the store to see the staff's so-called cash car, the body color is "hazelnut latte" and "blueberry latte" these two colors, none of which is Xiao Tang likes, so the current car is equal to non-existence.
Although there is no existing car, Xiao Tang still has a high interest in lattes, and after taking the configuration table, he found that the car was fully integrated in the active and passive safety configuration and the flagship of BYD Song PLUS DM-i. But the wheelbase is still more advantageous than the latter, the wheelbase of the latte DHT is only 2745mm, although sitting in the back row can not feel the obvious difference, but Xiao Tang is still very concerned about the data. In addition, the latte DHT is not plug-in hybrid, and the fuel consumption is also higher than that of the Song PLUS DM-i, and the NEDC fuel consumption reaches 4.9L/100km.
After the test drive, Xiao Tang said, "Once the speed is relatively fast, you can still feel the sound of the engine working, and there is really no good quiet experience of BYD when driving at low speed." And both cars are priced at 169,800 yuan, latte DHT seems to have to pay purchase tax, BYD Song PLUS DM-i is not used, and then latte DHT's fuel consumption is also higher than Song PLUS DM-i. In the end, Don denied the latte DHT.
After that is the very good value for money Gili Star Yue L, this shop is very close to open next door, about 5 minutes walk to it. I saw that Xiao Tang didn't seem to be particularly interested in this car, so he asked what was going on, he said, "After driving the plug, I am worried about a matter, can I still drive a fuel car?" In the future, I don't have to change pure electricity, because the experience when it is pure electric driving is really good." Therefore, the next experience only stayed in the static and test ride experience, Xiao Tang did not test drive at all, but he also gave a good review of the large space and high cost performance, after all, the wheelbase of 2845mm is far more than the products experienced by the two before.
But in the end, the reason why geely Xingyue L was not chosen was very simple, because this is a fuel product, and Xiao Tang pays more attention to the cost of the car in the future, after all, the plug-in hybrid model will be more fuel-efficient. When it was first added to the alternative, it was also because of its high cost performance and long wheelbase.
So at the end of the day, Xiao Tang did not make up his mind about any of the cars, but the next morning he sent me a message saying that he went to the store to give the BYD Song PLUS DM-i, and it took more than a month to wait for the car, and then let me take the time to help him sell volkswagen.
summary
A plug-in hybrid, a hybrid and a pure fuel vehicle, someone told me before that I don't want to drive a fuel car after driving pure electricity, this sentence I do not have a deep experience, because for me fuel vehicles are never out of date (personal opinion). However, after Xiao Tang drove a mixed BYD, the short distance of a few kilometers of pure electric driving may have brought him a good experience, and the price was right, so he gave up the idea of the other two cars.
Look at the retention rate of several cars, the 2021 BYD Song PLUS DM-i 110km model, the new car landing price is about 173,500 yuan, and the price of the second-hand car after driving 10,000 kilometers is about 158,800 yuan. In the 2021 Geely Xingyue L 2.0TD two-wheel drive version, the landing price of the new car is about 168,500 yuan, and the price of the second-hand car after driving 0.4 million kilometers is about 143,000 yuan.
