From the pre-price of mocha DCT-PHEV, 29.90-31.50 million yuan is undoubtedly aimed at the ideal ONE, Lantu FREE and other extender SUVs, compared with the mocha DCT-PHEV in pure electric endurance and intelligent performance of science and technology does have certain advantages, but considering the price of fuel version models, it is obviously high.
From a technical point of view, mocha DCT-PHEV is not worse than the mainstream plug-in hybrid models or extended range models on the market, it can be said to solve the drawbacks of traditional fuel vehicles, plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicle models, such as the pain point of pure electric vehicles is long charging time, short endurance, mileage anxiety, etc., the pain point of oil vehicles is the sudden setback of gear shifting, the difficulty of first-tier cities on the card, etc., the pain point of hybrid vehicles is that there is no pure fuel vehicle, pure electric mileage is low, etc. The Mocha DHT-PHEV seems to be born for the above drawbacks, but its pre-sale of 29.90-31.50 million yuan is indeed difficult for many people to accept, this price is higher than the price of mainstream hybrid models in the market, and the biggest problem of Wei brand is actually brand awareness, consumers will not only consider the configuration when buying a car, but also whether the price matches the brand is also one of the factors for consumers to buy a car.
