Reject all price increases! These 73,900-dollar saving cars even have a lot of deals?

Since the beginning of March, the trend of rising oil prices has made car owners miserable. When many prospective new car owners who are about to buy a car have their eyes on pure electric new energy vehicles, various new energy brands have also announced the increase in the price of their pure electric models under the pretext of "short supply" of raw materials.

Led by tesla, Xiaopeng, ideal and other first-echelon new energy brands, more than 40 new energy models have been announced on the market. For a time, compared with the "past" for a long time, the definition of automobile consumption has become "high consumption" for the general public.

Buying an internal combustion engine car means complaining bitterly about this turbulent oil price change, and looking at those mainstream new energy brand cars, their rising value seems to be marked as "not cost-effective".

This is why many friends want to ask the professor, in the near future want to buy a car to consider the factors of the budget price level, is there some choice not to "cut leeks"? The professor's answer is yes! There must be!

Entering April, Xiaopeng Motors, a new car-making force led by "Wei Xiaoli", and Xiaopeng Motors, which dominated the car segment, became the top seller of the new power brand with 15,414 units, an increase of 202% year-on-year, on the occasion of March. Looking at the luxury SUV market, Weilai has declined in the ranking.

However, at the time when the price of many trams has risen, Weilai has not followed the trend of price increases. In the context of the shortage of international raw materials and chip supply, Weilai said that "the stability of prices is good for the interests of users and the market, and we have no intention of increasing prices in the short term."

After hearing this, he got up to give Wei Lai a warm applause, at least until now, the "short-term" that Wei Lai said was still within the period of fulfilling the promise. For example, as the brand's first flagship model, the NIO ES8, still retains a policy subsidy of 12,600 yuan, and the official guidance price of 46.80-62.40 million remains unchanged.

Putting aside the price factor, WEILAI ES8 can be said to be the pioneer of domestic brands in high-end SUVs at the product level, after all, few domestic brands have been able to pull the price to hundreds of thousands of levels before this, let alone a pure electric model.

The brand tone of NIO ES8 leading luxury coupled with the comfortable driving texture of home makes NIO ES8 favored by users. On the other hand, under the definition of "pure electricity consumption", zero fuel consumption demand and preferential policies in limited license cities have given NIO the ES8 a reason to consume as a "luxury SUV".

In the trend of the era of pure electric vehicles, the Weilai ES8, which was born in 2017, is like the "elder" in this batch of pure electric model matrix. The correct price point market orientation coupled with excellent product standards makes the WEILAI ES8 is still the most resistant model, although the Weilai in March is slightly behind, but the April is still "Weilai can be expected".

There is an old saying that "new energy is a shortcut for domestic brands to achieve overtaking in curves", which is confirmed by GAC Group. We all know that GAC Honda and GAC Toyota have other GAC FCA JEEP, GAC Acura, GAC Mitsubishi and other brands under GAC Group that seem to have some signs of "stagnation" over the years.

However, from the perspective of GAC's new energy sector, GAC Aean is showing signs of hot sales in full swing. With the completion of the capacity upgrade and construction of the Aeon plant in February and the precise guidance of marketing, Aeon's sales volume showed a steady and high growth trend.

Sales of Aeon reached 20,317 units in March, up 189% year-on-year. To be able to have such achievements today, in addition to the AION S to open the sedan market "volume form" of the precedent, the subsequent birth of AION V, AION Y, AION LX and other SUV models in their respective segments of the market has also made a lot of merit.

At a time when the price increase in the new energy market has become a foregone conclusion, the E-An brand has also adjusted the pricing of related models. The price of some models of the AION S as a sedan increased by 5000, while the AION V and AION Y as SUV models were adjusted accordingly according to the pricing and version configuration.

According to the version configuration options combined with the pricing AION V, the adjusted model pricing is: 70 Smart Collar Edition 157,800 yuan, 70 Smart Driving Edition 169,800 yuan, 80 Technology Edition 169,800 yuan, 80 Smart Driving Edition 183,800 yuan.

The price of AION Y's adjusted models is 129,600 yuan for the 70 Enjoy Edition, 139,600 yuan for the 70 Smart Collar Edition, 149,600 yuan for the 70 Smart Driving Edition, 149,600 yuan for the 70 Technology Edition, 154,600 Yuan for the 80 Ultra Long Endurance Edition, and 167,600 Yuan for the 80 Smart Driving Edition.

It is worth mentioning that AION V and AION Y have cancelled the low-end entry-level 60 models and some of the medium-equipped 70 and high-end 80 models respectively.

In this regard, the professor wants to use the "stealing concept" to describe the pricing increase of the Aeon model, which is not a pejorative meaning. Although the price has increased, Aeon has only fed back the raw materials to the main version of the configuration model. As for the "temporary cancellation" of the low-end version of the model, it may just conform to the concept of "Chinese people buying cars and not buying low-end".

In this price increase trend, there are also zero-running cars, and zero-running cars are currently in the market layout of zero-run T03, zero-run C11, zero-run S01 three cars. However, the only models involved in the price increase this time are the zero-run T03 and the zero-run C11 models.

Among them, the five models launched by the zero-run T03, which locates the mini car, have an increase of 5-7 thousand according to the different versions of the configuration. The zero-run C11, which positions a mid-size SUV, is a price range of 20,000-30,000. As a zero-run C11 that dominates the market at a price level of 150,000-200,000, this has raised a lot of consumption thresholds.

The zero-run S01 did not involve the pricing increase storm, the official guidance price of 11.99-15.90 million is still the most cost-effective pure electric sports car for mass consumption.

Of course, in terms of pricing has not risen, you have to ask the professor whether the zero-run S01 is worth buying? Maybe we can discuss the performance of this zero-run S01 product.

The Zero-Run S01 is equipped with a single-motor powertrain with a total power of less than 125 kW, and provides endurance calibration of 305 km and 451 km respectively depending on the version configuration. Its breaking score can even reach 6.9 seconds. Among a number of small pure electric models, the tuning of the zero-run S01 can even be described by "sports".

In addition, the wind-pulling sports car shape, borderless double-door layout, hatchback tailgate, motorsport cockpit, etc., the sports car should have, zero running S01 all have. Otherwise, how to say that the zero-run S01 is the existence of a flat luxury sports car?

However, from the perspective of consumption positioning level, zero-run S01 has certain embarrassments in the face of competitors. Looking at the bydirected dolphin in the same positioning consumption, it does dominate the large space in the small car, and the economic travel in the pure electric characteristics dominates the practical consumption use of transportation.

Although the zero-run S01 has not increased in value, the zero-run S01 seems to be more like a "big toy" for the sports car at the consumption level, rather than a means of transportation for grocery shopping.

Refusing to "increase prices" for any reason, at a time when many new energy models are ushering in an increase in value, the above models rely on "maintaining the concession of pricing" to cater to the consumer market. In the following April, in the face of those competitors whose prices have increased, they have more advantages in terms of cost performance for consumers.
