Although the purchase of used cars is the most affordable choice for consumers, there will always be some concerns, fearing that accident cars, water soaking cars, overhaul cars and other issues of vehicles will be selected. In fact, compared with the physical depreciation (tangible loss), the "original car manufacturing quality" factor mentioned in the comprehensive analysis method of used cars is often ignored. In addition, the source of used cars, price trends and recalls are also important factors in judging whether a used car is worth buying. As a leading defective automobile product information collection platform in China, based on massive big data analysis, Car Quality Network will successively conduct a comprehensive evaluation of second-hand models of various brands, so as to provide direct and effective reference information for everyone. The evaluation object of this period is some of the annual models of Lynk & Co 02, and the detailed analysis can be found below.
First, the model year analysis:
Models 2018-2022 are available
Lynk & Co is an important representative of the "upward" road of its own brand, although the brand was not established for a long time, but its popularity is very high. In addition to the distinctive family-style design of the whole vehicle, the excellent product power has also made many consumers look at the Lynk & Co brand. As the second model in the family, Lynk & Co 02 has been launched in China for a period of time, and the second-hand car market has also accumulated a certain source of vehicles, and today we will take a look at how this car performs in the second-hand car market.
The Lynk & Co 02 was officially launched in China in June 2018, and the car is positioned as a cross-border compact SUV. The car follows the design style of the Lynk & Co family in appearance, especially its iconic split headlight set, which is one of the most important identifying elements of Lynk & Co models. In addition, since the car is positioned in a coupe SUV, the D-pillar design is more inclined. And the car also looks very gorgeous in the color of the paint, and the overall look is very dynamic. The interior part is also designed to be biased towards the driver's side, at the same time, the car is equipped with a large central control screen, the instrument also adopts a full LCD display, with a three-spoke multi-functional steering wheel, the overall effect looks very young. In terms of power, the car is available in 1.5T and 2.0T versions, of which the 1.5T version is divided into high/low models, the maximum power is 180 hp and 156 hp, the peak torque is 265 Nm and 245 Nm, the transmission system matches the 6-speed manual and 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission; the 2.0T version has a maximum power of 190 hp, the peak torque is 300 Nm, and the traditional system matches the 6-speed automatic and 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
At present, in the domestic second-hand car market, Lynk & Co 02 only has a generation of models, although the car has undergone a small modification during the period, but mainly for individual configurations have been upgraded, the overall change is not large. In addition, some of the models of the car in 2018 are national V. emission standards, and it is not a problem for first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen to be licensed, but they cannot be moved in from other places. On the whole, the 2018-2022 models are within the range of options.
Second, the market price analysis:
2018 and 2019 models
Relatively higher value for money
Usually, at the time of the iteration of automobile products, the old models sold are greatly preferential due to inventory clearance, and sometimes even the price of second-hand cars is "upside down". Then, how is the current second-hand car market of Lynk & Co 02, and the car quality network integrates the quotations of second-hand car platforms such as used car home and guazi used cars, and comprehensively derives the price range of the market car source for consumers' reference.
Judging from the above-mentioned second-hand car prices, due to the short listing cycle of Lynk & Co 02, the price of used cars in the market is relatively high. Among them, the second-hand car price of the 2018 and 2019 models is about 70% of the guidance price of the new car in that year, which is relatively cost-effective. The price of used cars after 2020 (inclusive) is still firm, and the cost performance is relatively low. Therefore, based on factors such as the difference in the appearance of iterative products, the price of used cars and the use tax of vehicles and ships in the later period, the 2018 and 2019 Lynk & Co 02 used cars are relatively more cost-effective.
Third, the second-hand car source analysis:
There are many vehicles in coastal areas
The 2018 model accounted for the highest proportion
When selecting second-hand cars, whether the market supply is sufficient is also one of the key issues for consumers. If the supply of vehicles is sufficient, on the one hand, consumers have more choices, and on the other hand, they also increase the opportunity for further bargaining. If the source of vehicles is relatively insufficient or very few, it may have a greater impact on whether consumers continue to buy the car. With reference to the data of Renren Car and used car home platform, the car quality network calculates that the current national used car source of 2018-2022 Lynk & Co 02 is: 47 vehicles released by Renren Car and 170 vehicles released by second-hand car home. From the perspective of proportion, 2018 models account for the highest proportion, the proportion of single-year models has reached 65%, and 2019 models also have a small proportion, 2020-2022 models account for a relatively small proportion.
From the perspective of the regional distribution of used car sources, the sum of the Lynk & Co 02 used car sources in Guangdong, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan has exceeded 50% of the national total. Among them, the proportion of models with a age of 2-3 years is relatively high, and the sum of the two accounts for more than 70%, while the models within 1 year are relatively few, accounting for the lowest proportion.
Fourth, the quality of word-of-mouth analysis:
The 2019 model has slightly higher complaints
However, the points of failure are scattered
Consumers often ignore the "original car manufacturing quality" factor when choosing used cars, but in fact this is a very important indicator when choosing used cars. To this end, based on a large number of real car owner complaints, through professional data analysis, the quality assessment of Lynk & Co 02 products, from which to find out possible batch quality defects, to provide consumers with more direct and effective reference information.
According to the statistics of the car quality network, from January to December 2021, the car quality network accepted a total of 33 complaints about the simple quality problems of the Lynk & Co 02 model, and most of the complaints came from the 2019 model. Judging from the typical complaint problems, there are relatively many complaints about fault problems such as "battery failure" and "gearbox setback", but it is only in single digits. However, it is also recommended that consumers can focus on these aspects when purchasing the above-mentioned annual models.
Overall, in addition to the relatively high number of complaints about the 2019 model, the complaint volume of the remaining models in each year has remained at a low level, and there is no common defect problem, and the quality reputation is relatively stable.
From the perspective of the proportion of mileage traveled for the first time, the proportion of failures in 30,000-50,000 kilometers is the highest, while the proportion of failures within 20,000 kilometers is 36%. The side reflects that the time of failure of Lynk & Co 02 after the purchase of a new car is relatively late, most of which occurs in the middle of use, and the overall quality level of the product is relatively stable.
V. Recall Analysis:
There are no recall records in China
There is no recall record in China As of now, Lynk & Co 02 has not issued a recall announcement in China.
summary
Through the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that when purchasing Lynk & Co 02 second-hand models, there are complaints about each annual model, of which the number of complaints about the 2019 model is relatively high. In addition, the time for the failure of the new Lynk & Co 02 car is also relatively late, and the side also reflects that the overall quality performance of the car is quite good, and the quality control is relatively stable. From the perspective of the performance of models in various years, the 2018 models perform relatively well in terms of cost performance and market ownership, and it is recommended that priority be given when purchasing. However, you also need to pay attention to whether there is a fault problem before purchasing, and you can query it in time through the Car Quality Network Mini Program or the Car Quality Network App.
