"Accompany you when you are successful, help you make a comeback when you fall." When it comes to the Toyota Prado, I believe that many people will scorn it, the dull appearance, backward technology, although it has created its strong stability and durability, but lost a lot of car fun. However, one thing that must be admitted is the Prado's enviable used car retention rate, and the opening sentence is the praise of many people for the Prado.
There is no doubt that most consumers will not consider the amount of its retention rate when buying a car, after all, the car is a consumable, not a conventional "wealth management product"; however, the retention rate is also part of the strength of the product, and the choice of products with a higher retention rate under the same strength will undoubtedly be a better choice. So, which models have a higher retention rate? The list of the top ten retention rates released by Jingzhen Estimate provides a more intuitive reference.
Top 1: Lexus LM (111.02%)
According to the brand history and sales performance in China, the Chinese people habitually divide luxury brands into first- and second-tier camps, but as the leader of "second-tier luxury", Lexus has a brand influence that does not lose BBA. Take Lexus LM, even if in essence, it is just a "luxury version" alpha, but at the beginning of the listing, the call for "800,000 yuan increase" on the Internet still created its shortage of supply, which is the "ceiling" level of the preservation rate.
Top 2：SUPRA（103.62%）
When it comes to Toyota SUPRA, most people may be unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to its other name, "Bull Devil King", I believe everyone will feel like thunder. As one of Toyota's "three sports cars", SUPRA is born with sports attributes, elegant appearance, strong performance, and broad modification potential, making it one of the first choices for handling enthusiasts, plus the original new car guidance price of about 500,000 is not expensive, so there will be a higher voice in the second-hand car market.
Top 3: Alpha (103.50%)
In 2021, China's MPV market ushered in a big outbreak, and major models have poured into the mid-to-high-end MPV market, wanting to share a piece of the pie in the context of consumption upgrades; however, to say that the boss of the "nanny car" camp, Toyota Alpha's position is still difficult to shake. Alpha has always been a symbol of status and status, and the million-level landing price behind the "ordinary" appearance has well satisfied the psychology of rich people who want to be low-key and pompous. Of course, even the second-hand Alpha is not affordable for ordinary people.
Top 4: Ferrari F8 (99.47%)
Under the innate torque advantage of the electric motor, as long as it is willing, it is not unusual for the zero hundred acceleration time of the pure electric model to squeeze into less than 3 seconds, but in the fuel era, it is rare to achieve 2.9 seconds to break the hundred, and the Ferrari F8 is one of them. As Ferrari's "strongest V8 convertible model ever", ferrari F8 is equipped with a 3.9T V8 engine as standard, with a maximum horsepower of 720Ps and a maximum torque of 770 N·m, which can bring pure driving pleasure; in the new energy era, it is even more valuable.
Top 5: Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG (97.49%)
As the saying goes: "Fashion is a circle", the popular round headlights and square shapes of the last century have been extended by the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to the present, and now they are not only favored by consumers, but also imitated by many models. Obviously, mercedes-benz G-class as the spokesperson of "hardcore off-road", although it has strong off-road ability, but often in and out of the city's bustling neighborhoods; compared with driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class may be mistaken for a "driver", Mercedes-Benz G-Class has become a symbol of the identity and brand of car owners.
Top 6:Rome(95.96%)
If you are looking for extreme performance and a smooth experience, the Ferrari F8 just mentioned will be a good option, but if you also consider the budget, the Ferrari Roma may be more attractive. For most people, the official guidance price of 2.38 million yuan Roma may not be cheap, but with reference to the same 3.9T engine, 3.4 seconds to break the hundred strength, especially the Front Ferrari logo, this price will appear very "close to the people", it will naturally be more sought after in the second-hand car market.
Top 7: Will Law (93.62%)
Alpha's strength in the retention rate of used cars is obvious to all, and as its "brother", The strength of Willfa is also not disappointing. Whether from the perspective of technology or platform, Wilfa and Alpha have a great overlap, which can also bring the most comfortable car experience, but it is slightly insufficient from the terminal price increase and brand recognition level, so its three-year retention rate has not exceeded 100%. Of course, this is also a very good result.
Top 8: Crown Land Release (93.28%)
It is not difficult to find that the above models are priced at hundreds of thousands, or even millions, which is not affordable for ordinary families; and the crown land amplifier, which is located in the eighth place on the list, will obviously be closer to our lives. The starting price of Crown Land Release is less than 300,000 yuan, and the whole series provides oil-electric hybrid power system, which has strong advantages in terms of practicality and economy. Backed by Toyota's brand perception of "driving not bad", it is no wonder that it will gain more favor in the second-hand car market.
Top 9: Lexus ES (90.83%)
In the eyes of many people, luxury B-class cars are the most suitable threshold for entering a luxury model after comprehensively considering comfort, quality and price, and after getting tired of "34C", there is no shortage of Lexus ES that will taste the same level. Compared with the terminal discount of BBA, Lexus ES will often be higher than the market price because it needs to be imported and has a perennial price increase; coupled with the fact that its product quality is relatively stable, the transaction in the second-hand car market will also be more active.
Top 10: Porsche 911 (90.58%)
There are many ultra-luxury brands, and there are also many luxury brands, but when it comes to "ultra-luxury brands that go to the volume", it is obviously not Porsche. As one of Porsche's "legendary models", Porsche 911 has gained a lot of fans in the development history of nearly 60 years, and can even be called synonymous with Porsche sports cars, and the market heat remains high; coupled with the "convention" that Porsche needs to choose, the transaction price will be much higher than the guide price, and the retention rate will naturally rise. However, compared with the above models, it can only be regarded as barely squeezing into the top ten.
Conclusion: In general, in the above list called "value preservation artifacts", Toyota models dominate half of the country, and the top three new cars can be sold at the "original price" after 3 years. Of course, "the wool is out of the sheep", the reason why they have a higher retention rate, or because the new car has more price increases, or because the optional price is more expensive, which has led to more than 200,000 cars accounting for only two seats; as for whether it is worth buying, I believe that everyone has a number in mind.
