In fact, I don't want to overblown the tank 500, which will bring negative public pressure to this new car, and it is not necessarily a good thing to put a car in a position that does not belong to it in the first place.
The Great Wall did not set a very unacceptable price for the tank 500, the price of 335,000, 355,000 two conventional models is not high, after all, the tank 500 as a 5-meter size, equipped with a 3.0T V6 turbo engine of the non-load-bearing body off-road vehicle, itself has a high manufacturing cost.
From the perspective of the industry, the 300,000 off-road vehicles that can be bought in the past are not good if I want to evaluate.
In terms of mechanical literacy, the Gold Standard Pajero V97 is indeed very strong, as one of the few choices for off-road hardcore products in the past 300,000-400,000, two locks and good passability are really good.
However, there are also many problems with Pajero, the problem of high temperature of the engine is brought in the mother's womb, and Pajero can run out of 14L of 100 kilometers of fuel consumption at high speed, I can only say that the 3.0L engine is too backward, and the sense of technology, comfort, intelligent experience and luxury of this product can almost be said to be 0.
Don't expect the hardcore buggies of a bygone era to give you a comfortable city experience, it's simply impossible.
In fact, Pajero is fine, after all, the price is not much different from overseas, and the 3.2L diesel version of Pajero sold in Japan is priced at more than 260,000, and the mainstream model is also 300,000.
Although The car of Pajero is rotten, although it is not good, but the price is sincere, it shows that Mitsubishi also knows where its products are in, and there is no capital to increase the price and accumulate wealth.
But the Toyota next door is different, the product is general but very capable of price increase.
Still on sale today, the price of the old Prado 2700 has soared to more than 550,000, and I never thought that the Prado with a 2.7L displacement could be called an off-road vehicle, for the simple reason that the flat ground can run to the Prado 2700 in 14 seconds, and the most needed power and low torque to get out of trouble is obviously missing.
The Prado is a good car, but at least it has to be 3.5L displacement, but looking back at the 3.5L Prado, is the price of landing more than the BMW X5, with what?
You know, the price of prado sold in Japan can be described as simple to the extreme, and the price of 3.66 million yen is actually only 190,000 yuan.
Well, how japan sells 190,000 Prado also sells less than 550,000 in China, in fact, it is not difficult to explain, the Chinese market in the past 20 years is not a strong hardcore off-road vehicle appeared, Prado's excellent stability has become the highlight of many people's hype.
From the perspective of the product itself, the Prado is completely worth the price, the insurance company insured the Prado of 600,000 landings, and the basic value is only 400,000, which is the value of the product itself, how obvious the Prado premium is without too many words.
Without competition, you will see the Prado savage price increase, and in my opinion, the significance of the Tank 500 is very important.
Its debut marks that the Great Wall Group with Wei Jianjun as the core has the ability to mass-produce in the high-end off-road market, not only in terms of technical reserves, but also in terms of operational experience and brand value, which is obviously far greater than the product itself.
For the market, the emergence of the Tank 500 will inevitably spawn a new consumer market, whether you like it or hate it, there are always some people who begin to accept the Tank 500, and the off-road itself is a smaller market, which will inevitably scrape away a part of the Prado's market share.
The market dominated by Chinese brands is actually built up little by little, from the initial questioning to the later slow contact to the later recognition, the process will inevitably destroy a huge share of foreign empires.
Prado is good, but its reasonable price should be at 300,000, since Toyota is not ready to put it in a reasonable position, but use it in China crazy to accumulate wealth for 20 years, then there should be a Chinese brand to stand up, tell Toyota That the Chinese brand also has its own off-road vehicle, maybe the tank 500 in the short term can not reach the brilliant height of the Prado, but the long-term significance is very significant.
After all, the joint venture car could lose a violent off-road market share in the coming years because of the great wall's involvement.
