[Aika car shopping guide original]
"Regional special car" is a model commonly used by many brands, which is specially developed for the special car habits and needs of consumers in a certain region. However, many fans are dismissive of this, and even hate it as soon as they hear the words "exclusive to the Chinese market". However, when we rationally look at the "special car", it is not difficult to find that among them, some models are indeed very suitable for the domestic car environment, and they have naturally obtained good market sales, and even some models have been sold back to the world. In this article, I will take you to a detailed list of the 10 most representative high-selling "special cars".
Model 1: SAIC Volkswagen Langyi
Model class: Compact car
Price range: 9.99-15.89 million yuan
When it comes to SAIC Volkswagen Langyi, many friends will jokingly call it "Tokuhara Lang". Of course, I personally don't think this is irony, at best it is a kind of folk joke. After all, since 2008, in the 10 years since its listing, the sales volume has exceeded three million, and the monthly sales at its peak have reached 50,000 vehicles. Therefore, if "Tokuhara Lang" is a kind of irony, then for the French car companies whose sales performance is miserable, they may urgently need this ironic blessing.
Model 2: SAIC Volkswagen Lingdu
Price range: New cars are coming soon
Saic-Volkswagen Lingdu as a sports compact car mainly sold by the Volkswagen brand that is only listed in China, SAIC Volkswagen positioned it as a "luxury wide-body coupe". The actual performance is indeed wider than many models in the same class, and the visual sportiness is still good. At the same time, although in terms of sales performance, it is not as exaggerated as Langyi, which has just been introduced, but from the data accumulated over the years, the average monthly sales can also exceed 10,000. Now, the new generation of Lingdu L is about to go public, can the sales performance of this "spicy steamed bun" be eye-catching? I guess let's wait and see!

Model three: FAW Toyota Asiatic Lion
Price range: 142,800-179,800 yuan
For the FAW Toyota AsiaSense car, I am personally still very optimistic, although it was also born on the TNGA-C platform, but the increase in body size has also brought a longer wheelbase and more cockpit space. Not only that, the workmanship materials for the interior have also been improved, and the texture is more upscale. The power upgrade to the 2.0L M20 engine, assembled on this 1.4-ton Asia Lion, the power performance is still appropriate enough. But it may be due to the impact of chip supply, Asiatic Lion's production line is basically in a semi-stagnant state, with monthly sales of less than 1500 units in January 2022, and for Toyota, the "fast selling brand" in the automotive circle, sales are indeed a bit sorry for the audience.
Model 4: GAC Toyota Lingshang
Price range: 148,800-158,800 yuan
After talking about the Asiatic Lion, it is natural to talk about its sister product of GAC Toyota- Lingshang. In January 2022, LingShang's monthly sales were 1550 units, surpassing the Asiatic Lion for the first time. However, the sales of both cars are so unbearable, even if it is a long time, there is really nothing to be thankful for. However, in terms of product strength, Ling Shang and Asiatic Lion are both A+ class compact cars that are very suitable for family use. But helplessly there are lower price Corolla and Lei Ling, I think at this time, the Asiatic Lion and Ling Shang most want to say a sentence is: both Shengyu, He Shengliang...
Model 5: Guangqi Honda Lingpai (including Lingpai Rui Hybrid)
Price range: 10.98-169,800 yuan
As a product specially built for the Chinese market and used to compete with models such as Corolla, Leiling and Xuanyi, GUANGC Honda Lingpai does stand out in some aspects. For example, space, fuel consumption, power and other aspects are better than the Japanese competitors of the same level at that time. However, the original Lingpai did use some force too hard, and the front face of the application of large-area chrome was slightly exaggerated, but fortunately, the replacement model reversed the overall style back, and also added a sharp hybrid version to the redesigned model, which further reduced the fuel consumption performance while enhancing the power performance.
Model 6: Guangqi Honda Guandao
Model class: Medium SUV
Price range: 22.00-332,800 yuan
At the beginning of the listing, Guandao attracted the attention of many Honda fans. The first application of a 2.0T engine in China is also considered by many friends to be a low-level entry-level version of Type-R, and it is surprising that such a huge SUV can run into 8 seconds with zero hundred acceleration. As a medium-sized SUV, The interior space of the Guandao is even better, and the large seating space in the rear row crushes a ticket to create a large space competition. Shortly after the launch of the 2.0T model, Guandao also launched a 1.5T version with a lower threshold, although the acceleration performance was inferior, but in addition, the performance of all aspects was not bad at all, and the price ratio was also quite high.

Model seven: Changan Ford Mondeo
Model class: Medium-sized
Generally, compact cars with low price, cheap maintenance and other advantages, it is easy to become a high sales of the god car. As a medium-sized car, Changan Ford Mondeo has also been on fire for many years with its advantages of appearance, power, space and practicality. And at that time, it was also a rare high-selling god car in medium-sized cars. However, when it was just listed that year, it did not appear as a "Special Supply Car in China". Although the new Mondeo is only available domestically at the moment, I am very bullish on it. Not only can it give people a refreshing feeling from the inside out, but although its positioning is a mid-size car, the B+ class identity is indeed very tempting. Perhaps its emergence can shake the B+ class pin crown status of the same level of overlord Toyota Asian Dragon to a certain extent.
Model 8: Changan Ford Fores
Price range: 9.08-116,800 yuan
Changan Ford's Fores car, when it was launched in 2014, I liked it very much. The front face design of "Little Martin" is very pleasing, and not only occupies a clear advantage in appearance, but also its selling points in terms of space, control standard, and car cost. In 2021, the new generation of Forres is on the market, not only the exterior design is more novel and atmospheric than the old model, but also the interior of the sense of technology has undergone a subversive upgrade. Moreover, the most noteworthy thing is that the starting price of 90,800 yuan can have full LED headlights, dual screens, fresh air systems, etc. Some of the seemingly very high-end configurations in compact cars, and the quality-price ratio is also quite good.
Model 9: SAIC-GM Buick Oncovey (Oncway S, S Plus)
Price range: 20.99-309,900 yuan
SAIC-GM Buick can be said to have concentrated its efforts in the past two years, not only launching the flagship SUV Encore banner, but also upgrading the PLUS version of THE ENCORE, which has performed very well, to further enhance its competitiveness among models in the same class. Not only everyone, sometimes I always feel that Oncovi is a compact SUV, but when the Oncovi PLUS debuts, whether it is size or space performance, it is a proper mid-size SUV level. The launch of Oncovi Plus Avenir Evia further enhances the luxury attribute. Not only that, with its excellent performance and product strength, Encore has successfully sold back to the United States, which is definitely a "homecoming" in the automotive circle.
Model 10: SAIC-GM Buick GL8
Model class: MPV
Price range: 23.29-533,900 yuan
SAIC-GM Buick GL8, an MPV that Americans have never seen before, but with an original American style. The launch of GL8 once broke the concept of "van" in China, and it was the listing of Buick GL8 models that made domestic consumers truly realize the MPV concept. Since its birth in 1999, it has undergone five generations of innovation and has won the favor of more than 1 million Chinese users. And I don't think any MPV to date can shake the buick GL8's status as IKEA.
Editor's Comments:
As I said at the beginning of the article, I was actually a serious "double standard pseudo-critic car enthusiast" before. Imported models, no matter how ugly and impractical, also feel fragrant. Special models, even if the performance is good, no matter how high the cost performance, I disdain it. In fact, you don't have to do this, buying a car, buying a house, buying anything is the same, not suitable for others must be suitable for yourself. Everyone should believe in an unbreakable truth: the shoe is not suitable, only the foot knows.
