Colleague Yu teacher recently rejoiced, because the two large SUVs he focuses on, BMW X5 and Volvo XC90, are said to be domestic.
As a grandfather, he loves practicality, but some people can't hide their hobbies in their bones.
Love hard goods.
Brand to be hard, technology to be hard, safety to be hard.
When hovering around the budget of 500,000, it is difficult for Teacher Yu not to be moved by the news of "500,000 buy X5". However, Volvo soon came out to refute the rumors and determined that the XC90 would not be domestically produced.
Faced with the repeated temptations of this straight hook fishing, Teacher Yu suspected that he had fallen into the trap of consumerism.
We can only comfort Teacher Yu, in a high probability, the price of BMW X5 will not be too low after the domestic production. Looking at the imported 5 series and the domestic 5 series, the price is highly overlapping. The X5 of the same brand, one lengthened and one original, is simply the same operation. How could BMW move a stone and drop itself in the foot.
The difference has not narrowed
BMW X5 is proud of its product strength is based on sportiness, after the domestic body and wheelbase are lengthened by 130mm, the handling advantage will obviously be weakened, to the space of the X5, feel not so Bavarian.
Since it is necessary to be practical, it is better to make consumption more practical. For Mr. Yu, the Volvo XC90 is actually the best existence. Image, practical balance, IKEA IKEA is this kind of car.
The Volvo XC90 has a 7-seater model to choose from, providing a more convenient and comfortable travel experience for multi-family families, which is also its advantage that it is more suitable for families than opponents such as BMW X5.
Dynamic difference, mixing is more fragrant
Now Volvo XC90 in addition to the 48V light hybrid model, there are plug-in hybrid T8 models synchronous sales, which is more in line with the current market demand, especially in the first and second-tier cities with limited traffic and purchase restrictions, the demand for hybrid models is increasing sharply with each passing day.
Even Shanghai has introduced a purchase restriction policy for plug-in hybrid vehicles to slow down the rapidly growing market ownership.
In other words, if you don't buy it, it's too late to shear the wool.
The domestic BMW X5 and imported Audi Q7 have not yet launched their own plug-in hybrid models, and mercedes-Benz GLE's PHEV models are weak. The reason is that these car companies have not focused on the in-depth research and development of PHEV technology, which is not in line with the mainstream needs of the current market, and the technical level does not give consumers enough confidence.
On the other hand, Volvo has become an active electrification practice brand, and has proved that the safety of its new energy models has reached an excellent level with a variety of extreme tests.
Moreover, Volvo XC90 also has the advantage of cost performance, taking the Volvo XC90 B5 Zhixing Deluxe Edition with a starting price of 638,900 yuan as an example, the comfort configuration and the BMW X5 at a price of 700,000 are at a level, and the safety configuration wins in an all-round way, and the whole system is equipped with an active safety driving system as standard, which is really rare at the same level.
summary:
In fact, there are not many people like Teacher Yu who hold coins to buy.
In fact, for luxury brands of medium and large SUVs, domestic production is a "helpless move", and it is necessary to reduce costs and increase sales through joint venture production. Although the BMW X5 is in the sky, holding 75% of the shares of BMW Brilliance in hand is bound to give a sufficiently correct attitude in terms of technical input and employment solutions. At the same time, whether Brilliance's production line can support the production requirements of bmw X5 is still unknown, and everything needs time to prove.
The Volvo XC90 still insists on producing in mature and reliable factories overseas, ensuring that the quality of the product is safe and cannot change. This is also the stable confidence that the XC90 brings to people.
What's more, the process of waiting is also a sunk cost.
Again, buy early and enjoy early. Recognize your own needs, you can't go wrong.
