As many people predict, Acura has become another luxury brand that cannot be mixed in China. The official announcement on April 8 is not surprising. It's just that the claims have become more decent. Judging from the official news, everything is to promote the implementation of the electrification strategy, so it has been decided not to produce and sell the existing products of the GAC Acura brand from 2023. But no matter how beautiful the words are, the main meaning has not changed, that is, the Acura brand will fully withdraw from the Chinese market.
In fact, the rumors about acura brands withdrawing from the Chinese market have not been broken since March. As early as last month, there was a lot of media rushing to report on the matter. Just as the so-called no wind and no waves, the Acura brand at that time should be doing the final finishing work. To this end, there are also people who have specially interviewed some Acura brand dealers, and the response seems to be a verification, some people say that at present, various dealers are digesting inventory, and dealers have no longer booked new cars from Acura manufacturers, because the factory has also been stopped.
Not long after, a picture released by a well-known car critic showed that the dealer had begun a big move to "clear inventory". Acura's main models CDX and RDX have all started to fight fractures. According to the picture, the CDX model fell by 60,000, and only 169,800 yuan was needed. The RDX fell by 70,000, just 258,000. And you can also enjoy 5 years of free maintenance, 5 years of warranty, 5 years of compulsory insurance.
For a time, on the Internet, there were more and more netizens who were "cynical" to the Acura brand, and once again the truth of "the wall fell and everyone pushed" was vividly displayed. However, there is a saying that goes well: "The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway". In this matter, ordinary melon-eating masses are still reading jokes, and the really smart people have chosen to go to the bottom.
Let's take the main sales model one by one, first of all, Acura CDX. As a compact SUV that benchmarks the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and BMW X1, if it really sells for 169,800, the cost performance is beyond doubt. The above several competitive models, the price of about 169,800 can not be bought at all, and you can only choose CR-V, RAV4 Rongfang and other ordinary joint venture brands of similar models. If you're after quality, then CDX can satisfy you perfectly. Putting aside its less luxurious design and brand, whether it is the materials used for workmanship or the texture of NVH and chassis, it is not comparable to ordinary joint venture brands. Isn't it cost-effective to compare?
Let's talk about the best car in my eyes , the RDX. Previously, I had experienced this car in depth for a while. After driving it down, I gave it a rating that in addition to not looking luxurious, its deep product power is not lost to any mainstream luxury car. The full range of 2.0T high-powered engines, with a 10AT gearbox, and the SH-AWD four-wheel drive system, can give people a strong sense of care in terms of explosiveness and grip, and I have deliberately compared the X3 of the same level, which is known for its handling, and the two are comparable in dynamic driving. Nowadays, the price of 258,000 is also a high price of Tiguan L and Oncovey, which is not cost-effective, and I believe that friends who have opened RDX should have the most say.
Conclusion: There are also people who are worried about buying a product that has withdrawn from the Chinese market brand, what to do after-sales? Don't be so double-standard, when Acura still existed, "netizens" often joked that Acura changed the shell for Honda. In fact, many of its accessories and maintenance methods are indeed the same as some of Honda's products. Moreover, the official also said in the statement that the relevant channels of GAC Honda continue to provide services for the owners of GAC Acura to ensure their rights and interests. So, if you also like Acura's model and don't care about the world's vision, then now, to bottom out its model, may be the best time.
