Nowadays, in the domestic B-class car market, German cars and Japanese cars have shown very strong competitiveness, such as Accord, Camry, Maiten and other models have achieved good sales results, and the monthly sales are basically more than 10,000 units. Compared with German cars and Japanese cars, the performance of American cars is not very eye-catching, but there are also more popular models, such as Buick Regal, which has been recognized by many domestic consumers with its good product strength and cost performance, and its competitiveness in the market is obvious to all. Let's combine its current offers and current car situation to analyze whether it is worth buying.
In 2021, more than 90,000 units were sold, and the most cost-effective version was the cai version
As the earliest car brand to enter the Chinese market, Buick can well grasp the needs of Chinese consumers for the luxurious texture of vehicles, and has been loved by many consumers. According to the survey, Buick Regal will sell 96,605 vehicles in 2021, and the sales performance is very good. However, compared with the good Camry sold at the same level 217724 vehicles in the whole year and the 197742 sales of the Accord, there is still a certain gap. We learned from a 4S store in Beijing that among the existing models of Buick Regal, the best selling model is the 2021 552T Elite model priced at 188,800 yuan, which uses a 169-horsepower 1.5T engine, 9.1 seconds to break the hundred and 6.3L 100 km fuel consumption is enough for daily use. Although it is a low-end model, there are some configurations, such as the main passenger seat airbag, the front side airbag, the front and rear head airbags, the rear parking radar, the reversing image, the cruise control, and the intelligent remote control key. It and the high-end 552T luxury price difference of 8,000 yuan, but the upgrade is some insignificant configuration, so the low-end cost performance is the highest. At present, buy the old 1.5T low-end model, do not worry about the problem of picking up the car, there are several units in the store.
Who are the people who buy Buick Regal and which cars will be considered?
People who buy B-class cars usually make a trade-off between price and grade, the price can't be too high, and there is face to drive out. Buick Regal just meets this demand, the current preferential margin is relatively large, and there are existing cars, in line with the needs of many people to buy a car. We have briefly summarized that people who buy Buick Regal will also consider models such as camry and Volkswagen Magotan.
Spend less than 200,000 yuan to buy a medium-sized car, many people will compare with camry, it is a B-class car with excellent sales of models, the current discount of 8,000 yuan, there are a small number of existing cars to choose from, it is obvious that The concession range of Regal is larger. From the perspective of product strength, Buick Regal is better than Camry in terms of power, configuration and comfort. Camry has more advantages in design and safety, and the retention rate is higher, so there are also cases where Camry abandons Regal.
Buick Regal and Volkswagen Maiteng are two classic joint venture cars, many people will be entangled between these two cars, they can be said to be indistinguishable in terms of design, Volkswagen Magotan brand influence and user reputation is better, there are currently 20,000 yuan of terminal discounts, but there are not many existing cars. Regal has a slight advantage in terms of space, configuration and power performance, the entry-level model is very cost-effective, and the current preferential range is not small, so there are also cases of direct booking.
Cash discount of 40,000 yuan, low allocation landing more than 170,000
We learned from a 4S store in Beijing that in the Buick Regal Low Edition 2021 552T Elite Model as an example, it currently has a car purchase discount of 40,000 yuan, plus about 15,560 yuan of purchase tax + about 5,000 yuan of insurance premiums + about 1,000 yuan of license fees, and about 170,360 yuan of landing.
Used car residual value
We found the Regal 2020 552T luxury model from the current mainstream used car platform, which landed at about 180,000 yuan, traveled 24,000 kilometers for more than a year, and is now quoted at 146,800 yuan.
Vehicle maintenance part, Buick Regal maintenance cycle is carried out every 5000 kilometers, and the replacement of oil engine filter maintenance is about 640 yuan. Our maintenance cost of 60,000 kilometers is expected to be 11,351 yuan, and if we calculate according to the average annual mileage of 20,000 kilometers, the annual maintenance cost is about 3,784 yuan.
brief summary:
Buick Regal's performance in the market is not bad, and the monthly sales volume is basically maintained at about 7000 or 8,000 units, which is enough to see that consumers love it. It can stand out in the fiercely competitive B-class sedan market, relying not only on brand power and product power, but also on the people-friendly price and high cost performance. At present, the cash discount investigated is 40,000 yuan, the best old model sold 1.5T low-equipped car, the landing price is about 170,000, such a price can indeed attract many consumers. Compared with the same level of car Camry 8,000 yuan discount, Volkswagen Maiteng 20,000 yuan discount is more competitive, and the comprehensive strength of Regal is not bad, there is no obvious defects, to reach the mainstream car level. From the perspective of the models on sale, the most cost-effective version is the most worth buying, and the big discount does not have to wait. (Image from the Internet)
