Many people do not believe and do not recognize, but the truth is to tell you that the demand for electric vehicles and new energy vehicles has become higher and higher, and many consumers who have driven new energy vehicles have been reluctant to switch back to fuel vehicles. Therefore, on this basis, traditional fuel vehicles will gradually lose their dominance in the market. Because we can see from the sales list that in the field of SUVs, Tesla's Model Y is already a ride, leaving the once ace SUV Haval H6 far behind. In the car market, Wuling Hongguang's MINI is the first place in the top sales list, in the recent March, Wuling Macro MINI sold 47563 units, more than 20,000 units more than the second place Nissan Xuanyi, it can be said that the gap in sales is very obvious, from which it can be seen that the traditional fuel vehicle has become weak. And the car I want to introduce today is a fuel car that has lost its dominance, it sells from 20,000 per month to 3,500 per month, this joint venture car is equipped with Ward's top ten engines, but it still does not go.
This car is the hyundai Elantra, speaking of Hyundai or Elantra this car, I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar, first of all, hyundai this brand entered the domestic market relatively early, has a certain audience, and the early hyundai models are very good in quality and appearance. In particular, the performance of the appearance can really give people a bright eye, so hyundai opened a door for itself in the domestic market at that time. After this, Hyundai can also be regarded as a high song, but because the brand influence has weakened later, Hyundai can only directly reduce its value and compete head-on with domestic independent brands. For the Elantra car, in fact, from the early days, the early Elantra is a very classic sedan, in terms of durability and fuel saving, it is also used as a taxi, which is enough to prove its strength. But later it stopped production and changed its name to continue to "survive" in the market, but time has come, because of the poor sales of modern models, this new car has returned with the name of Elantra.
When the new Elantra was listed, the heat was good, because the predecessor of this generation of Elantra was Lingdong, and before the leadership was more recognized in the domestic market, so this car has a certain potential consumer population after listing, plus the appearance of this car is also outstanding. Because at that time, many models of Hyundai began to upgrade, but there were few outstanding appearance performance, such as IX35, Mingtu and Sonata and other models were complained about by the Chinese. Therefore, in contrast, the advantages of Elantra are suddenly highlighted, coupled with its positioning price is not very high, so after the listing of a single month when the sales volume exceeded 19,000 units, it became the "fragrant food" of the car market in one fell swoop. However, the traffic has not been taking care of it, after experiencing the fire, the Elantra car began to slowly be more tired, especially in the past February and March, the monthly sales of this car were 3640 and 5080 units, the sales data was not more than a fraction before, so what is the reason for this market situation? Let me tell you all about them.
First of all, the first point, that is, the background of the times, I also said above, now is not only the home of fuel vehicles, the arrival of electric vehicles, bringing us a more economical car base, and there is a better driving experience, especially in first-tier cities, the share of electric vehicles has been greatly increased, so this squeezes a certain fuel vehicle market. Secondly, the current market is also a lot different from the previous market, with the appearance and positioning of the Elantra, it is definitely the majority of young people in the standard, but the competition with the positioning of the model in the market is too large. Models like MG 6, MG 5, Changan UNI-V, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, etc. are suspected of competition, and the sport attributes of these models are more intuitive, and they are much stronger in power, acceleration and configuration, and some models are much closer to the people in terms of price, so this largely divides a part of the market, so that the consumer population of Elantra's car has been sharply reduced.
Secondly, let's talk about the Elantra car, when it comes to the two aspects of appearance and interior design, this car can not be said to be bad, and it is still relatively top-notch in the joint venture model. But in terms of power, I personally think it's a lot more modest. It has two powertrains, the entry-level model is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, this engine has a maximum of 115 horsepower, matching the CVT gearbox, for this power system I personally feel is more suitable for home use, for youth and sports is not at all related. Because whether it is a 1.5L engine or a CVT gearbox, it is relatively smooth, and it is difficult to give you explosive power. In addition, it also has a Ward top ten 1.4T engine, this engine has a maximum of 140 horsepower, although the horsepower data is enough and very fuel-efficient, but it is equipped with a seven-speed dry double-clutch transmission, so the entire power system will give you a feeling of high or low, no matter which one you choose, there are obvious deficiencies.
In general, in the current market, hyundai this brand has been no better than that year, lack of a certain brand effect and influence, for its models, the original appearance is the biggest advantage, but now a lot of design is more and more outrageous, really can't help but feel a little pity. For the hyundai Elantra car, I personally think the overall product power is OK, but the shortcomings are also obvious, as a 100,000-class car, we also express understanding. But it is positioned as a younger consumer group, but it is not very intuitive in the sports attributes, and it shows more of a family attribute in terms of power, and its home attributes are not very good, because the seven-speed dry double-clutch transmission is really a little bit worse, so under the background of the times and the pressure of the same level of opponents, the sales of this car are naturally without the style of the past, and have become no longer mainstream, so what do you all think of this Elantra? Can those models of the same class replace it or have an advantage over it?
