Under what circumstances would you swap out your second car at home for a medium-sized SUV?
The two-car families with babies around me are basically a sedan + MPV/ medium and large SUV, and many families have more demand for this model. In order to have a better travel experience, the original car really can't meet the needs of many people to travel, and it is reasonable to change cars.
So guo guide next to me recently began to worry about changing cars, and wanted to buy another medium and large SUV. How to choose? What was the reason for the choice?
About 650,000, what are the medium and large SUVs that can be exchanged?
Guo was a sports-related practitioner at first glance, and indeed, I was the coach of the track and field team in high school, and I have been in touch ever since. The most recent time I met, it was Guo who asked me to go to his newly opened gym to celebrate, and although I kept in touch, I hadn't seen each other for many years.
When we were busy with the opening of the day and had dinner together in the evening, he said that he wanted to change cars, and he wanted to change to a larger car, so he asked me to give it to the staff officer. The current situation is that Guo guides himself to drive a Mercedes-Benz E-class, his daughter-in-law has no car, and a family of three travels to sit in a Mercedes-Benz; Guo guides that he also plans to have a second child this year, and this family member has become a family of four, and the practicality of Mercedes-Benz E will be very much examined.
I think if the budget is enough, you can consider a medium and large SUV. Why not consider MPV models? In fact, MPV home is very good, and in recent years, there are many new MPV products, but Guo Guidance does not like it. After that, the budget given by Guo Guidance is between 650,000 and 700,000, and there are still many models that can be bought at this price, and indeed the choice is very broad, such as Volvo XC90, Cadillac XT6, Lincoln Aviator, which are included; but BBA These can not be considered, over budget.
After listening to Guo's guidance did not object to my opinion, these three cars in addition to cadillac, are his potential purchase targets. But in the end he chose the Volvo XC90, what is the reason for this?
Discount 160,000, can you talk again?
When I arrived at the Volvo store, it was close to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people in the store that day, so fortunately I made an appointment with the staff who had a good relationship before coming. Not long after registering the information, the staff we had made an appointment came to receive us. Knowing that we are going to see the Volvo XC90, it is also due to the relatively familiar, we directly began to report the discount.
Now it is a discount of 160,000 yuan for the whole series, if there is a replacement, there can be a replacement subsidy, but now there is no sports version of the current car, most of them are luxury versions of the car, and the inventory is not much. After talking about these key information, it is the conventional model information, wheelbase 2984mm, using 2.0T engine (high and low power version) high power version maximum power 220kW, maximum torque 420 Nm, the whole series has a 48V light mixing system. In terms of active and passive safety, the whole series is doing very well, and the top configuration has more parallel auxiliary configuration than other models.
When Guo guidance took the configuration list to look at, he said to me, "This safety configuration is quite a lot, and it is estimated that my daughter-in-law will drive more after buying a car, and I am also assured that the safety configuration is complete." After that is the experience in the car + test drive experience, driven to the Mercedes-Benz E-class Guo guide said that in the Volvo car can not find a sense of luxury (personal point of view), indeed, the two design styles are completely different, but Guo guidance affirmed the Volvo XC90 car in the workmanship and material experience, and the sense of technology is also good, 12.3-inch LCD instrument + 9-inch central control screen is the standard of the whole series.
During the test drive, the staff arranged a 2.0T high-power model, which was smooth with the 8AT powertrain, coupled with the spacious wheelbase, let me sit in the back row and feel good. After getting off the bus, we both had a relatively high evaluation of the dynamic driving of this car.
Finally, Guo Guidance wants to set a top-equipped Zhiya luxury version, and in addition to the discount of 160,000, you can talk about it, and the price of the naked car may be around 600,000? This is also in line with his budget, and the staff said that if they are not in a hurry to use the car, they will come over on weekends to see if there are any activities in the store, and they can also give discounts.
Later, Guo instructed himself to find time to go on the weekend, and then booked the car, and I did not ask about the specific amount. Why didn't you choose Cadillac and Aviator? Let's talk.
Don't buy Cadillac because it's too cheap?
In fact, the shop visit process of the day should be Cadillac, Lincoln, Volvo, but when we opened in the Cadillac store, Guo Zhi sat in the co-pilot and turned over his mobile phone, took a look at the used car price of the Cadillac XT6, and directly let me drive to the Lincoln store.
He took his phone and said to me, "Here's a 2021 Cadillac XT6, 28T six-seater four-wheel drive luxury sport model, just driven 5,000 kilometers, now used cars sell for 388,000?" New cars landed 509,800? Did you fall so hard?" Indeed, he may not pay attention to cadillac discounts and used car information, and I affirmed his doubts; then Guo's guide looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment to decide to abandon the Cadillac XT6.
It seems that it is not because of product issues, but because of the impact of the end market and the used car market. It is not surprising that who wants to depreciate by tens of thousands of dollars immediately after buying a new car?
There wasn't much traffic at the Lincoln store, and the staff quickly came to meet us, and after understanding that we were looking at the pilots, they first introduced a wave of model information. The wheelbase is 3025mm, which is better than the Volvo XC90, and the entire power series uses a 3.0T engine with a maximum power of 261 kW and a maximum torque of 553 Nm. And although the strength of the discount is not large, Guo's budget can also be matched, so the price is not a problem.
For the future cost of the 3.0T V6 engine, in fact, we should carefully study a wave, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption has reached 9.8L/100km, fortunately, the refueling gasoline is No. 92, otherwise this fuel cost is really a considerable number (of course, this fuel consumption is not low).
After the test drive, Guo guided the powertrain of this 3.0T V6 engine + 10AT transmission is indeed "in love", after the test drive, I really want to book a car immediately; but I later told him, you think about your own car environment and fuel consumption costs, if you are stuck in the city, your fuel consumption is not low, and the cost of the car in the later stage may make you feel that the cost of this V6+10AT is somewhat high. After weighing half a day, we finally went to the Volvo store, and then there was the car purchase process above.
summary
Guo's guidance on the need for a car is to buy a medium and large SUV for his home in order to better perform in space. He noticed two points when choosing a model, the first is the retention rate, and the second is the cost of the car; so even if the Cadillac XT6 is cheap, after seeing the price of the second-hand car, it will give up, and the price that the Lincoln Aviator needs to pay in the later stage of the powertrain should not be a small amount.
Pay attention to a wave of retention rate, the 2020 Cadillac XT6, the landing price of new cars is about 553,300 yuan, and the price of second-hand cars after driving 10,000 kilometers is about 399,700. For the 2020 Volvo XC90, the price of new cars is about 688,000, and the price of used cars after driving 45,000 kilometers is about 439,000.
