At the moment users buy a car, most people will consider how to buy the car retention rate, especially luxury brands, because it costs a lot of money to buy a car, if the loss is too much, it is not cost-effective, if the car is sold after lifting, the car price can have 80%, then the retention rate is good, if it can be more than 90% after landing, the retention rate is very high. There are basically only two brands that can be done, one is Porsche and the other is Lexus.
Compared with Porsche, Lexus is relatively more people-friendly, so there are more people who buy it, especially the ES car, which is definitely the "trump card" of Lexus, so why does ES keep its value so much? Let's take a look.
ES's shape design is very good, while ensuring the atmosphere is calm and calm at the same time without lack of fashion sense, the iconic spindle-shaped net is very aggressive, the classic fangs headlights use a full LED light source, and the light group is a matrix design, whether it is style or grade, it is very good.
The waistline of the body is very sharp, extending straight from the exterior mirrors to the rear of the car, making the entire body side feel elegant and handsome. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the ES are 4975/1866/1447 (mm), and the wheelbase is 2870mm, which is shorter than the same level of Audi A6L, BMW 5 Series, etc., but longer than the same price BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
The rear is angular, three-dimensional, the sporty large tail wing also plays a good embellishment role, the style of the taillights is also very visual impact, taking into account the sense of design and three-dimensional sense, three "L" shaped light strips as a width indicator light has a very good recognition, and the style of the middle net also echoes. In addition, the 18-inch multi-spoke rim and Bridgestone Taer series tires are in line with ES positioning.
Compared with the shape, the interior of ES is not particularly eye-catching, the design, layout, etc. are more moderate, but the central control panel is covered with a large number of soft materials and leather wrapping, the workmanship and materials are very good, the sense of high quality is very prominent, which is why ES is so popular, ABB's interior materials and workmanship compared to Lexus, to be significantly inferior.
The three-spoke steering wheel is of moderate size, the leather wrap is delicate, and the grip is thick. 7-inch LCD dashboard display is more delicate, practical is very good, 8-inch display using horizontal screen display, internal UI and layout are very simple design, configuration with Baidu CaLife, car home Interconnection, Bluetooth phone, etc., are more practical functions. There are more physical buttons in the air conditioning control area, which requires a certain amount of time to adapt, and the function adopts dual-zone automatic, and the paddles on both sides are used to adjust the temperature.
The seat material is very soft, the cushion is filled very well, the wrapping and comfort are very good, the comfort of the rear seat is even better than the front row, the size of the central armrest is large, and the humanized experience is in place.
There are three versions of ES power, namely 2.0L gasoline, 2.5L gasoline and 2.5L oil-electric hybrid, of which the most bought is the minimum ratio of 2.0L gasoline (294,900) and the minimum configuration of 2.5L hybrid (399,900). The real-time experience is the minimum of 2.5L hybrid, equipped with a 2.5L engine + electric motor hybrid system, the maximum power of the engine is 131 kW, the maximum torque is 221 Nm, the maximum power of the electric motor is 88 kW, the maximum torque is 202 Nm, and the comprehensive power of the complete hybrid system is 160 kW. Matched to the engine is the E-CVT electronic continuously variable transmission, with sport mode and simulated manual shift mode, driving pleasure is guaranteed.
In addition to the stylish appearance, luxurious interior and fine workmanship, ES also has a good advantage in driving experience. Since the ES basically relies on the electric motor to output power when driving at low speed, the whole vehicle is very active and fast at the beginning, and it is also very quiet, and the feeling at this time is no different from driving an electric car. The accelerator pedal is adjusted more calmly, the response in D gear and energy-saving mode is more "lazy", the power output gives people a feeling of not being in a hurry, and quiet and comfortable can be regarded as Lexus's consistent "style".
After stepping on the throttle speed to increase, the motor will also come to "assist", under the output of the hybrid, the overall power output will reach a peak, although this power outbreak is not rapid, but the daily overtaking is still very calm, and after adjusting to the sport mode, the acceleration will become more thick, but the bones are still comfortable, compared to the same level of turbocharged models, the explosive force is still inferior.
The E-CVT transmission not only provides smooth acceleration, but also has a good "contribution" in fuel economy, no matter what driving mode is required, the response of the gearbox can immediately understand the user's intentions, and the overall performance can be said to be impeccable. The chassis adjustment is still as comfortable as ever, but the toughness has been significantly strengthened, so that the whole vehicle can have better support, which is still very good.
Summary of the full text
The appearance of atmospheric fashion, luxurious interior, fine workmanship, excellent driving comfort these advantages make Lexus ES very competitive, these are its "stepping stones" to attract users, and these are only part of the reason for its high retention rate, in addition, price stability is also a major feature, because since the ES (this generation of models) was listed, in addition to the initial sale of parity, followed by price increases, price increases to sell, will not be like some luxury brands, at every turn to 70% off, or even 60% off.
Then there is the low cost of using the car, and the controllable cost is the cost of refueling and maintenance. This part of the cost is actually the majority of the vehicle's full use cycle, according to the general average annual driving of 2-30,000 kilometers mileage calculation, Lexus hybrid model annual fuel expenditure costs can save about 1-15,000 yuan compared with the same grade of fuel vehicles, according to the average use of six years of car replacement cycle calculation, probably can save 60,000-90,000 yuan of fuel costs.
The gap between the two is even greater in terms of daily maintenance and repair costs, because the Lexus Hybrid Edition has a free maintenance warranty policy of 6 years or 150,000 kilometers, and this free maintenance covers many items, even the wiper pads and brake pads (which reach the wear limit) can be replaced for free. In terms of maintenance, compared with the same grade of car 3 years or 100,000 kilometers can save about 40,000-50,000 yuan, just these two items can save more than 100,000 yuan, then many people have to ask why ES's 2.0L is also selling very well? All done well on more than 300,000, much cheaper than the same level of car, but also imported, these points are not attractive enough?
