With the advantages of high cost performance and high value, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5 and Chevrolet Mai Ruibao were once known as the "Three Treasures of Di Si", which has a market among young consumers.
However, with the passage of time, these 3 models now have little sense of existence in the market, and even if they are hard to change the model, sales are still getting worse and worse.
Judging from the data of the car 300 used car APP, the sales of The Maribao XL are still justified, selling 52128 vehicles in 2021, Kia K5 Kaiku also sold 14449 vehicles, while Sonata, the head of the "three treasures" that once compared with the Accord and Camry, only sold 8959 vehicles.
In nearly half a year, Sonata's highest monthly sales did not even exceed 1,000 units, and only 894 units sold in December.
At present, the starting price of the Sonata Ten is 161,800 yuan, which is about 10,000 yuan lower than the previous generation, but the sales volume is still not improving, this once popular B-class car, why can't it be sold?
In terms of appearance, the front face of the new generation sonata is very sharp, and the large-mouth grille is equipped with sharp headlights on both sides, which is full of aggression, equipped with LED far and near lights, adaptive far and near lights, automatic headlights and many other configurations.
In terms of body dimensions, the length, width and height are 4955/1860/1445 (the height of the flagship model is 1450) mm, and the wheelbase is 2890 mm.
The interior style of Sonata Ten is more stylish, and the 12.3-inch LCD touch screen adopts a floating design, which is very popular at the moment and gives people a bright feeling. The multi-function steering wheel features a flat-bottomed four-spoke design, wrapped in genuine leather, and supports manual up-down and front-to-back adjustment.
In terms of configuration, the car is equipped with Bluetooth/car phone, induction trunk, remote control key, keyless start system, front and rear parking radar, engine start-stop technology, automatic parking, uphill assistance and many other functions.
In terms of power, the Sonata X is equipped with two turbocharged engines, 1.5T and 2.0T, and the drivetrain is matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch and an 8-speed manual transmission respectively.
The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 170 hp and a peak torque of 253 Nm, while the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 240 hp and a peak torque of 353 Nm.
From all aspects, Sonata's comprehensive strength is still good, reaching the mainstream level of the same level of models, however, Sonata used to be low prices and sports design as a selling point, and the current sports style models emerge in an endless stream, Sonata's appearance is no longer outstanding, coupled with the decline in modern brand power, the price of 161,800 is not much advantage, naturally not by consumer attention.
