2021 is not very friendly for car companies, the epidemic is repeated, the supply chain that is in the recovery stage is affected again, of which the chip shortage problem is the most obvious, resulting in a shortage of cars in short supply, so some hot-selling models have queues for cars, as little as 2 or 3 months, and even need to increase prices.
When it comes to the price increase, many consumers first think of Toyota, such as Alpha, which is said to have increased the price by up to 400,000 yuan last year, while its official guidance price is only 839,000 to 920,000 yuan. However, this is not an exaggeration, recently, the Japanese official release said that because the Land Cruiser is very popular in Japan and around the world, so now the order needs to wait 4 years to deliver.
In the statement released on the official website, Toyota has repeatedly used the words "sincere apology" and "deep apology", with a sincere attitude, it is estimated that it is difficult for users who have booked cars to see it, but the new Land Patrol car cycle is indeed very long, it is estimated that few cars on the market can surpass, after all, few models can do four years without replacement, no update.
However, the Land Cruiser really did it, in 2007, the domestic market introduced the model codenamed LC200, but in 2016, because of emission problems FAW Toyota announced the suspension of the model, but this did not affect the domestic consumers' enthusiasm for buying, a 15-year unealed model, in the parallel import market hot sales, the lowest match is also 700,000, the top price is more than one million.
The most outrageous is still the land patrol super high retention rate, it is said that a land patrol owner, the specific model of the car is 2018 Land Cruiser 5.7L, landed 1.13 million yuan, less than 3 years opened more than 76,000 kilometers, the second-hand car dealer gave the offer of 940,000 yuan, and according to the second-hand car dealer, if it is a low-end model, the retention rate will be higher, and even earned.
The old model has become so popular, not to mention the replacement model. The replacement of the Land Cruiser product force is fully upgraded, the appearance is younger and more exquisite while retaining the powerful aura, and the interior is more reborn, a large number of leather packages, large-size LCD dashboards, suspension central control screens, exquisite physical buttons, much more advanced than the old technology.
However, it is a little regrettable that the replacement Of the Land Cruiser is no longer equipped with a 4.6L V8 engine, but instead a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine + 10-speed automatic transmission powertrain, and the toyota TNGA-F platform is also a highlight of the car.
It is almost certain that the replacement of the Land Cruiser will still be very popular, and due to the impact of the epidemic, there will be a more serious shortage of supply, in the Chinese market, new cars will still be introduced in parallel imports, there are currently models arriving at the port, some insiders predict that the starting price may reach 1.8 million. However, some people question that the four-year cycle is too long, and the patience test for consumers is too great, in fact, the previous generation of land patrol has not been replaced for 15 years, so 4 years may not be a real thing for land patrol.
