In the domestic market in the past two years, independent brands have developed two luxury SUV models to shine in the market, they are the Great Wall's Weipai VV7 and Geely's Lynk & Co 01, do not deny that these two cars did carry the dream of the Chinese people to develop luxury models, and from the design, interior technology, configuration, power point of view, the original two cars are indeed "leaders", the Chinese people once saw the dawn of the rise of domestic luxury models.
As the flagship models developed by the two major brands, Weipai VV7 and Lynk & Co 01 have achieved extremely good results in the year when they were just listed, and the monthly sales of more than 20,000 almost flooded the scenery of joint venture models, but only 3 years later, how are these two models performing in the market now? At present, in the market, Weipai's first luxury SUV model VV7 has been eliminated, we will not introduce more, and this Lynk & Co 01, the sales volume in the market is also extremely dismal, in the last month the new car only sold 726 results, it can be said that it has faced the embarrassing situation of suspension of production.
What happened to Lynk & Co 01?
With the help of Volvo's popularity in the market, Geely created the brand of Lynk & Co, and Lynk & Co 01 in many core technology processing, but also got the help of Volvo, so the success of Lynk & Co 01 is very rapid, the new car became popular as soon as it was listed, but in the past two years, Lynk & Co 01 has been more and more cursed in the market, and the sales of new cars have been falling, and now even Geely has no hope for this car.
To know that now the progress of the domestic automobile market is fast, before the price of joint venture models are more than 200,000, but in the past two years, when the joint venture brand is creating a replacement model, it is obvious that it is constantly lowering its posture, and the starting price of many joint venture models has dropped to less than 160,000 yuan, and the starting price of Lynk & Co 01 is now close to 180,000, and the beggar version of the model has not decreased but has increased, which will obviously make consumers extremely dissatisfied.
The key is to know that Lynk & Co 01 in the price rise at the same time, the configuration, materials have also been reduced, has always been "global standards", "safety" and other flaunted its own strength of Lynk & Co, by many netizens reported suspected of "steel reduction", "suspected false propaganda" and other issues, and how does Geely respond? There is a sentence in Geely's response: "Regarding the body structure indication, Lynk & Co currently does not have a unified indication specification", but will this response convince consumers? Obviously not.
As the first model of the family, Lynk & Co 01 was criticized by the owner because of the problems such as car machine Caton, black screen, etc., and the source of the problem is also pointed to the chip, we have to know a little, the current chip carried by Lynk & Co 01 is Qualcomm 820, and even the current Star Yue L has used the 8155 chip, to know that the 8155 chip computing power can reach 3.6 million times / second, which is three times that of the 820A chip. About 2.5 times that of Tesla's self-developed HW3.0 chip, a top-equipped Star-Vietnam L is not as high as the entry-level Lynk & Co 01, Geely Is this going to abandon Lynk & Co this model?
The attitude of domestic brands to build cars?
The strength of domestic car brands has indeed been improved very well, but in my opinion, several mainstream domestic car brand benchmarks Great Wall, Geely and other car companies, did not play a role model, they only care about the immediate profits, as long as the sales of a model decline, the family meeting to study is definitely to change the design style, rather than solve the problem of user complaints, now many joint venture models on the market have been passed down for 20 years, and which domestic car that blooms everywhere has the last laugh? Lynk & Co 01 fell and Lynk & Co 02 fell and There are also Star More L, Star More L down and a series of new models to replace, this car-making attitude is really good? Problems with joint venture brand cars are generally solved by recall, and after the domestic brand exposes the problem, the car may have been discontinued long ago.
