[Aika car shopping guide original]
For most consumers who want to buy a compact SUV, 200,000-250,000 yuan is a universal range, after all, in this price range, whether it is a loan to buy a car or a full car, relatively speaking, there will not be too much burden, so the volume of the car in this price range is very large. It just so happens that the China Automobile Dealers Association recently released the "2021 China Automobile Retention Rate Report", let's take a look at what models with a retention rate of more than 70%.
Before getting to the point, let's briefly understand the "2021 China Automobile Retention Rate Ranking", which evaluates the 3-year retention rate and the 1-year retention rate of new energy for eleven models in 2021, including cars, SUVs and MPVs.
●Dongfeng Honda Honda CR-V
●Three-year retention rate: 80.51%
● Official guidance price: 16.98-29.98 million yuan
As a veteran best-seller in the compact SUV market, the CR-V once again won the sales volume of the joint venture compact SUV market in 2021. Not only that, the CR-V is also the first model in the joint venture compact SUV, with a three-year retention rate of 80.51%. Although it is close to a replacement, the shape is still not outdated.
CR-V interior style is simple and atmospheric, LCD instrument equipment for the vehicle internal technology atmosphere to add a lot of color, at the same time, the center console and door panel part of the large area using soft material wrapping, increase the sense of the vehicle's high-grade, will no longer worry about the collision of hard plastic in the center console.
In terms of power, the CR-V is available in three power versions, namely gasoline version, sharp hybrid and sharp hybrid e+. Among them, the gasoline version is equipped with a 1.5T engine, the maximum power is 142kW (193 hp), and the peak torque is 243Nm; the sharp hybrid is equipped with Honda's latest i-MMD hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0L Atkinson cycle naturally aspirated engine and two motors, which mainly relies on motors to drive the wheels, the maximum power of the entire hybrid system is 158kW (214 hp), and the fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is only 4.9L/100km; Sharp Hybrid e+ Using a plug-in hybrid system based on the i-MMD hybrid system, miMIC consumes only 1.3L/100km of fuel.
Whether from the perspective of comprehensive product strength or from the perspective of retention rate, CR-V is still one of the most worthwhile models to buy in the current joint venture compact SUV market. Sharp hybrid models are recommended on a good budget.
Model summary: Dongfeng Honda CR-V has created a precedent for domestic urban SUVs, and the rounded and full design style is easily favored by family users, and it also reserves a more spacious seating space for the car. The thick and solid leather seats provide optimal support for the human body, and the trunk space is spacious enough to be used, making it a very competent home SUV. It is the advantages of "low fuel consumption", "high cost performance", "strong acceleration", "comfortable seating", "sufficient trunk space" in the mouth of consumers, which makes CR-V have a good market ownership and retention rate.
●FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang
●Three-year retention rate: 76.54%
● Official guidance price: 17.58-29.68 million yuan
In 2021, RAV4 Rongfang completed the leap in sales volume, and the cumulative sales volume of the whole year climbed to the second place in the joint venture compact SUV market, and began to exert strong pressure on CR-V. In terms of appearance, the front face design of RAV4 Rongfang is very fierce and domineering, with both urban fashion style and outdoor wild temperament, making this model very in line with the aesthetics of the mainstream market.
In terms of interior design, RAV4 rongfang changed the style of the Toyota family home, and the straight and tough lines not only enhanced the layering of the car, but also created a rugged off-road style. Although the dashboard composed of LCD screen + pointer meter lacks a sense of technology, the display effect is not bad. As for the car system, although the screen is large enough, the display effect, fluency and feature richness are like the products of the last century.
In terms of power, rav4 Rongfang, like the CR-V, also offers three power versions: gasoline version, dual engine and dual engine E+. The petrol version is powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 126 kW (171 hp), a peak torque of 209 Nm, a drivetrain mated to a CVT transmission, and two- and four-wheel drive versions available. The dual-engine version is equipped with the Toyota THS-II hybrid system, the front-drive version is equipped with a motor with a combined maximum power of 160 kW (217 hp), and the four-wheel drive model is equipped with a motor in the front and rear, with a combined maximum power of 163 kW (221 hp). The Dual Engine E+ is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system based on a 2.5-liter Atkinson engine, with a maximum power of 194 kW (260 hp) for the front-drive version, 225 kW (302 hp) for the 4WD version, and a minimum fuel consumption of only 1.1 L/100 km for the MIIT.
RAV4 Rongfang has always been the strongest competitor of CR-V, the two cars are two completely different styles from the appearance, RAV4 Rongfang's appearance is more wild sports, it will be easier to attract young people. Although the car-machine system is its obvious weakness, the whole series comes standard with 8 airbags and ToyotaSafetySense safety system, which has surpassed other models in its class.
Model Summary: In terms of comprehensive product strength, FAW Toyota RAV4 is one of the best in the joint venture compact SUV market. Although there are also some obvious shortcomings, the retention rate and sales volume have a good performance, and the reason for this phenomenon is because the quality performance of RAV4 Rongfang is very good, and the user recognition is high.
●Changan Mazda Mazda CX-5
●Three-year retention rate: 72.07%
● Official guidance price: 17.98-24.58 million yuan
Compared with CR-V and RAV4 Rongfang, CX-5 can be described as niche, with monthly sales hovering over 2,000 vehicles, but the 3-year retention rate of this car reaches 72.07%, which is still quite surprising. In terms of appearance, with the forward-looking design language of "Soul Movement", CX-5 can be regarded as "high value" among a number of joint venture compact SUV models, even if it has not been replaced for many years, it is only "micro-shaping", which is also fashionable.
In the interior part, the CX-5 did not switch to the latest family design, but the simple shape of the center console does not look outdated, and the functional area of T's own layout also makes it difficult to get started. Although the three-gun barrel instrument is not as good as the full LCD instrument in the construction of the sense of science and technology, the shape is dynamic and very suitable for the sports attributes. The 7-inch suspension central control screen is not large in size and has few built-in functions, but it supports CarPlay, and the way it is controlled by a knob during driving is more accurate and safer than the popular touch operation.
In terms of power, the CX-5 does not have the choice of CR-V and RAV4 Rongfang, and only offers two naturally aspirated engines of 2.0L and 2.5L. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 114 kW (155 hp) and a peak torque of 200 Nm; the maximum power of the 2.5 L engine is 144 kW (196 hp) and a peak torque of 252 Nm. In terms of transmission system, the entire series is matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Although the CX-5 does not have much advantage over the opponent in terms of the richness of power selection and configuration, as well as the price and discount, the high appearance, outstanding handling performance, and strong sense of sport are the strong advantages that the opponent does not have, and in terms of safety configuration, although Mazda did not focus on publicity, the performance of the standard 8 airbags in the whole series has been equal to the RAV4 rongfang that advocates safety.
Model Summary: Although the influence of the Mazda brand in the Chinese market is declining, the sales performance has also declined year after year. When it intersects competitors such as CR-V and RAV4 Rongfang, it is not competitive enough, but the market reputation is maintained well, which may be the key to its ability to have such a retention rate.
The CX-5 squeezed into the TOP3 was surprising
●Dongfeng Nissan X-Trail
●Three-year retention rate: 71.89%
● Official guidance price: 18.19-26.29 million yuan
X-Trail is a main hardcore off-road style SUV, providing a 7-seat layout is also a highlight of it, although it is not as good as CR-V and RAV4 in terms of sales, but it has also accumulated a good reputation for many years on the market. Although X-Trail has completed the replacement, the old model is still on sale after changing its name to X-Trail Glory, and its appearance is consistent with the old model and has not been changed.
The interior is also a familiar taste, although in the sense of technology, luxury has been far less than the competition, but the rustic design style is still attractive, is still everyone's favorite Japanese home style. The 9-inch LCD touch screen is one of the few high-tech configurations in the car, and the car machine has a built-in Nissan Connect super intelligent connection system, which can realize remote control and voice control in the car.
In terms of power, the old X-Trail offers two naturally aspirated engines of 2.0L and 2.5L, with a maximum power of 113kW (154 hp) and 137kW (186 hp), a peak torque of 204Nm and 246Nm, a drivetrain matching CVT transmission, and some models are also equipped with a 4x4-i intelligent all-wheel drive system. Currently on sale, X-Trail Honor only offers a 2.0L+CVT power option, and the power parameters have also shrunk slightly, with a maximum power of only 111kW (151 horsepower), and the peak torque has been reduced to 194Nm, and all series are front-drive versions.
Different from the old X-Trail, the new generation of X-Trail in the Nissan V-motion 3.0 design style, through a more tough and sharp line design, to create a more rugged external shape, especially highlighting the huge chrome decorative strips around the net, appearing wild. The body lines are straighter and more three-dimensional. The short front overhang and long rear overhang are complemented by a convex brow that makes it look fuller. The boxy rear of the car is also wild under the decoration of the wide silver skid plate.
The interior part, which has changed the old home style, has become stylish and technological. The three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel combines sports and off-road attributes, and the full LCD instrument and suspension central control screen cater to the preferences of today's consumers. Nissan Connect super intelligent connected car machine system, the card-style UI design is very simple, the operation fluency is also very high, the system has built-in AutoNavi navigation, Kugou music, in-car voice command input, car home interconnection and other mainstream car machine functions.
In terms of power, the new generation of Chijun is the first to be discussed, equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine of the VC-Turbo series, with a maximum power of 150kW (204 hp), a peak torque of 300Nm, a transmission system matching the CVT transmission, and some models are also equipped with a second-generation 4x4-i intelligent four-wheel drive system. Although Nissan equipped this three-cylinder engine with a series of "black technologies" to reduce jitter and noise, the characteristics of small-displacement three-cylinder engines are still revealed in individual environments.
Model summary: Since the list statistics are 3 years of retention rate, the main statistics are actually the old X-Trail, after all, the new X-Trail has only been sold in the market for half a year since its listing in July last year. As for why the old Qijun can maintain so high a value rate? I think the main thing is because the old X-Trail did not have too many problems during the sale period. After all, whether the quality of the product is strong enough is often the direct criterion for measuring the retention rate.
●GAC Mitsubishi Orlander
●Three-year retention rate: 71.29%
● Official guidance price: 15.98-22.58 million yuan
Compared with the current hottest and most popular Japanese compact SUVs - CR-V, RAV4 Rongfang, Orland's sales are simply not worth mentioning. And the years of non-replacement have also made it gradually fade out of people's vision. But this does not affect its retention rate, 71.29% 3-year retention rate makes it closely follow X-Jun, successfully squeezed into the top five of the retention rate rankings. Ouland's decent shape design, although it will not make people feel bright, but the advantage is that even if it remains unchanged for many years, it will not make people feel outdated.
The interior design is a typical Japanese home SUV style, the simple and practical design is very attractive, the functional partitions are also very clear, and the operation is relatively easy. The leather-like seats are luxuriously decorated with white stitching and diamond checks. The size of the 8-inch embedded central control screen is not large, although the car machine system does not have fancy functions, but it supports online navigation, online music, CarLife and other functions, which is very practical.
In terms of power, it is equipped with Mitsubishi's original MIVEC engine, which is available in two kinds of power options, 2.0L and 2.4L, with a maximum power of 122kW (166 hp) and 141kW (192 hp) and a peak torque of 201 Nm and 235 Nm, respectively. The drivetrain is mated to the INVECS-III. CVT transmission. The 2.4L version is also equipped with Mitsubishi Kane's S-AWC ultra-select four-wheel drive system.
Although compared with cr-V, RAV4 Rongfang, Ande, the current "top stream", Outlander does seem to be somewhat "old-fashioned", but in terms of stability of the three major pieces, there is no difference from other Japanese opponents, and the good four-wheel drive ability and 7 seats and the right price are also its highlights. However, in the end, the product is close to replacement, and the competitiveness is not as good as before.
Model Summary: Outlander has always been the star product of GAC Mitsubishi, although it has been on the market for many years, but the vehicle has been trusted by consumers with its stable quality and good reputation. In the 2021 China Sales Service Satisfaction Study (SSI) recently released by Power, it also surpassed the mainstream market average with a high score of 741 points, ranking third among Japanese brands in the rankings. These are the reasons why the veteran has so much to preserve his value.
Editor's comments: After reading the article, you will find that the models with a 3-year retention rate of TOP5 are Japanese brands, and even Mazda and Mitsubishi, which are relatively unpopular, are on the list. Although these cars have more or less minor flaws, with stable "three big pieces" performance and excellent fuel economy, they have accumulated a certain degree of recognition over the years. This is the reason why Japanese cars have relatively preserved their value.
