"Wuling: I never expected that I would also have a day of being imitated." This is a sentence that netizens commented on after the listing of Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV.
It is undeniable that Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV is not only similar to Wuling Hongguang MINIEV in terms of naming, but also adopts the same 3-door 4-seat hatchback mini car setting in terms of appearance, and the other 28,600-4.16 million yuan is sold and the two cruising ranges of 120 km and 180 km are also close to Wuling Hongguang MINIEV. Some netizens even said, "Even the style of the advertising map is surprisingly consistent."
Obviously, Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV does not shy away from "targeting" Wuling Hongguang MINIEV to compete for the market. So, can this "cottage" MINIEV shake the status of "genuine" MINIEV?
To be reasonable, the micro-electric vehicle market is still there, as long as the car is built steadily, and some optimization is made for the needs of consumers, it is still very promising. It can be seen that as a latecomer, the scenery MINIEV naturally has to show sincerity on the surface, the starting price is 200 yuan lower than the Hongguang MINIEV, while the body size is tens of millimeters larger, the power endurance is also stronger, and it seems to be more cost-effective.
You can carefully study the configuration and parameters and you will find that the entry-level scenery MINIEV has more LCD meters than the Hongguang MINIEV, but there is less USB interface, and even the audio is not. In addition, although the power and endurance of the wind MINIEV are more advantageous, its 9.18kWh and 13.8kWh battery pack capacity is significantly lower than that of the Hongguang MINIEV, that is to say, the actual battery life may be lower. However, for models at this price point, the power and endurance are basically the same, just the gimmick of the scenery MINIEV.
So in the case of little difference in product strength, the scenery MINIEV wants to improve its popularity, helplessly can only rub the heat of the name, but in the eyes of netizens, even the name is not willing to think of one, so opportunistic way, really not like a responsible car company. In fact, the label of "no responsibility" also comes from the reputation of Dongfeng Scenery quality problems, which may be deeply rooted.
Taking Dongfeng Fengguang's most popular model, the Fengguang 580 (4498 units sold in January), as an example, when you open the car quality network, you can see that there are various quality control problems such as audio and video system failures, window lifting failures, steering failures, engine noises, transmission noises/setbacks, and body rust. A car owner said that my car was bought in 18 years, and after a few months of buying, the co-driver seat belt reminder failed, and the person sat up to fasten the seat belt and kept prompting that the seat belt was not worn. Second, the rearview mirror folds abnormally, and third, the dashcam fails and cannot be started. Fourth, the main driver lock block is broken, and the door cannot be opened. Fifth, the most serious, after the high speed exceeds 80km/h, the steering wheel is often stuck and deviated, which has a very serious impact on driving safety.
These problems, the owner said that he has been inspected in the scenery special store, the situation is true, but the store said that the maintenance of these are at their own expense, there is no warranty. The owner was not satisfied, called the manufacturer's customer service, but the customer service also said that he wanted to pay for himself. The owner questioned that Dongfeng Scenery said that the 7-year 150,000-kilometer warranty was what it said? Isn't that just deceiving consumers? Another owner also said, "From the purchase to the present, the directional assistance has been in a state of failure, the quality is too poor, 7 years and 150,000 kilometers is fake, not guaranteed at all." Some car owners even said bluntly: "Dongfeng Scenery 580 is industrial waste!" The pit is the Chinese".
Ironically, Zhang Zhengyuan, general manager of Dongfeng Xiaokang Sales Company, once said: "Dongfeng Fengguang always insists on bringing good products to users while also providing users with a high-quality service experience." "But now, in the face of frequent quality complaints and non-fulfillment of commitments, Dongfeng Fengguang has shown a very irresponsible attitude towards users." It can be seen that the "high quality" in Zhang Zhengyuan's mouth is only talk.
Since it cannot be implemented, when it comes to Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV, the official directly does not provide a warranty. It should be known that Wuling Hongguang MINIEV not only guarantees the quality of the three-electric system for 8 years or 120,000 kilometers, but also has a large amount of maintenance parts, and the maintenance cost will be much lower. It can be said that Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV has neither word of mouth and guarantee, nor hard power, what to compete with Wuling Hongguang MINIEV? Open the scenery MINIEV mini program can see that the listing of more than a day, 34 people ordered, is the most true portrayal.
It is not difficult to find that the experience of dongfeng scenery MINIEV, we are familiar. Isn't this the "routine" of Zotye and Lufeng? The shape and name are copied and imitated, the quality and quality are not guaranteed, and in the end, they can only be eliminated. Such a tragedy is still vivid, but now the scenery MINIEV does not think so, helpless, consumers can only choose to "vote with their feet", 34 orders have determined the failure of the scenery MINIEV. Therefore, is it very likely that Dongfeng Scenery will follow in the footsteps of Zotye and Lufeng and become the next outer?
