Nissan Xuanyi's reputation can be said to be a polarizing existence, on the one hand, it is the sales handle in the domestic compact car market, and the single-month sales can press the annual sales of many similar models on the ground. But on the other hand, comments such as "moving barricades" and "thin skin and big filling" are also endless. Is Nissan Xuanyi worth buying? Does it sell well really just satisfies cheap + big? All these questions, when I finish visiting the second-hand market, seem to be able to answer.
It's not cheap to look at, it's not cheap to look at
First of all, is Nissan Xuanyi cheap? If you only look at Xuanyi (non-classic) after the 2019 replacement, it can be said that Xuanyi is not cheap at all. From the perspective of new cars, after the replacement, the new Xuanyi only has a preferential range of thousands of yuan per year. Whether it is for the Japanese product brand interior, or the same level of competitors, this preferential range is quite small.
In the second-hand car market, the strength of Xinxuanyi in price is even more exaggerated. Take a car condition "need" model I found as an example, the sub-top of the 2020 model, white body, 2 years and 30,000 kilometers, completely urban conditions for self-use, in addition to the slight wear marks of the front and rear bars, there is no risk, no scraping, paint, sheet metal, second-hand price is more than 110,000 yuan.
It is estimated that the landing price of this new car in that year is about 140,000 yuan or more, with an average annual loss of about 15,000 yuan, which is mainly due to the short year (purchase tax), as well as the "loss" of itself as a secondary top match. Combined with other models on the market for reference, as long as it is a new Xuanyi after the replacement, and the mileage is normal (within 20,000 kilometers a year on average), the condition of the family car (no major accidents), the basic second-hand price is more than 105,000 yuan.
Of course, I did not include the classic Xuanyi in the "sample", after all, the classic model and the new model are not a car at all in terms of product strength. The second-hand market actually gave the answer, the past two years (after the replacement) of the car source is mainly new models, there are not many classic models, and the price is a bit "incomprehensible". The styling is old, and most of them are pre-2019 models.
Not to mention the styling, Xinxuanyi has greatly approached his own natural sound. After the body is widened, the overall aura is more like a B-class car. Although the power is still "enough is good", the active and passive safety configuration, as well as functions such as central control screen, LCD instrument, keyless entry, LED lights, etc., are also qualitative improvements.
It is precisely because of the gap between the product force from the outside to the inside, the old Xuanyi before the replacement, even if the 2018, 2019 such years are relatively new, and the car condition is also good, and its second-hand car price is mostly hovering around 90,000 yuan. Even taking into account the situation that the terminal preferential margin is 20,000-30,000 yuan during the "old Xuanyi" period, as well as the influence of objective factors such as year and de-insurance, its retention rate is still lower than that of the new Xuanyi after the replacement.
From the above performance of Xuanyi used cars, it can be analyzed that if the amount of "old Xuanyi" relies on "big + province + cheap", then "new Xuanyi" is based on "big + province", increasing the qualitative change of product strength and getting rid of the history of low price. But this brings up a new question, is the second-hand new Xuanyi worth buying?
Buy second-hand Xuanyi, buy expensive?
First of all, Nissan Xuanyi in the area of saving money is indeed not picky, basically the fuel consumption performance of the 6-figure head, in the compact car is also the existence of the first gear, even if the oil price is rubbing up this year, as a fuel car, the new Xuanyi can still sit still. Secondly, the price of small maintenance of more than 300 yuan is not a big burden for popular joint venture cars, but the maintenance interval of 5000km is still slightly shorter, and the maintenance content can be appropriately adjusted to extend the cycle.
Secondly, the internal space of the shoulder-to-shoulder medium-sized car is indeed not a joke, before accompanying many friends to see Xuanyi, regardless of the appearance or riding experience, they will repeatedly confirm whether they are looking at the natural sound. In particular, the 560L volume trunk is opened, which is even better than many mid-size cars. Coupled with Nissan's well-known large sofa experience, from my personal experience, The new Xuanyi has a very strong ability to win favors in a short period of time for consumers who buy a car for the first time.
However, in the process of test driving, Xuanyi's shortcomings are also obvious. That is, its tuning attaches great importance to the output of the initial stage, but the middle and back end are quite weak. The "laziness" of the CVT gearbox rarely gives Xuanyi's power output back, because its stability is what more consumers are worried about.
Judging from an individual, the new Xuanyi currently on the market is basically within the warranty period except for extreme cases. Starting from the insured model to adapt to the performance of Xuanyi in all aspects is a relatively safe method. Coupled with the fact that Xuanyi is a compact sedan with average power output, the durability of its CVT gearbox is not so fragile. Finally, it is also possible to use and evaluate it during the warranty period, and then consider whether to purchase an extended warranty in a targeted manner.
Although the price of second-hand New Xuanyi is not beautiful, combined with the fact that the price of new cars is firm and it is difficult to fluctuate sharply in a short period of time, used cars can at least save some hard expenses. On the contrary, the classic models lacking product strength, as well as the old Xuanyi before 2019, etc., can be compared with the second-hand Corolla, Langyi and other old competitors with similar prices to make a decision.
Specifically, for the choice of second-hand new Xuanyi, the sub-low match (Enjoy Edition) of the automatic transmission is basically enough. Of course, because of the lack of value preservation "artifacts" such as skylights and leather seats, the automatic block version itself has little stock in the second-hand market. Coupled with a more balanced allocation in terms of safety and other functions, it is more than enough to cope with the urban conditions faced by most consumers.
Write at the end:
Friends who like to watch movies should be familiar with the joke that "a movie with a high XX rating is not necessarily a good movie, but a low score must be a bad movie". This phrase, when applied to the automotive sector, seems to be true. Xuanyi, which has excellent sales, is indeed not a perfect product, but for the current price point, the strong performance of Xuanyi in the two dimensions of new cars and used cars after the replacement is by no means a simple thing.
