The editor said: The arrival of new cars not only enriches the brand's product line, but also lowers its entry threshold and thus becomes more accessible to the people, which is bound to be a good thing for consumers. At the same time, the new car is expected to compete with audi Q3, BMW X1 and other models, and sportiness is bound to be the biggest selling point of the new car, but as an imported model, the price will be a larger influencing factor, so in such an environment, can the new car share in this level from other luxury brands?
