Cars with poor sales must be bad, and cars with good sales must have a good reputation? We all know that everything has two sides, selling well does not mean that there is no problem at all, just like the BMW burning oil problem that is now boiling, involving the 3 series, 5 series, X3, each of which is the leader of the corresponding market segment, and now it is not the same complaints. So some of the recognized "good cars" aren't actually that good. Correspondingly, some cars with relatively low sales are not useless, but they are ignored because of other force majeure factors. Let's recommend a few unpopular low-key cars on the market.
NO.1: Kia Kaiku
To say that looking for an unpopular car, it is absolutely inseparable from the Korean car, such as Kia Kaiku, although the listing of the fire for a while, but immediately returned to normal, these months are basically three digits, compared to the sales of easy sales of the Japanese three musketeers, basically is not into the eyes of the law.
However, although the sales are average, there are still many highlights on Kaiku, such as this excellent design, which not only looks very fashionable and dynamic, but also has high recognition. Two LCD screens are used in the car to increase the sense of science and technology, and the car machine has also been localized, and various functions such as listening to songs and navigation are readily available.
In terms of power, Kaiku has two sets of powertrain options, namely 1.5T engine + 7-speed dual-clutch power combination, maximum horsepower 170 horses, peak torque 253Nm; 2.0T + 8-speed manual transmission, maximum horsepower 240 horses, peak torque of 353Nm.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Kaiku's current terminal market price is very impressive, with an online quotation of 20,000, and you can talk more about it when you enter the store.
NO.2: Cadillac CT4
The price of 200,000 to buy the vertical rear-drive layout, in the past, can only say that save a little more money. However, now you can choose Cadillac CT4, and the terminal discount is also very powerful, the top model landing is not more than 250,000, which is much more interesting than BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
Power performance is another selling point of CT4, the whole series is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine, with an 8AT gearbox, it takes only 6.9 seconds to break the 100.
Of course, it is a luxury brand, and it is a vertical rear drive, why is the sales average? In fact, the fundamental reason is that the rear space of the CT4 is very small, and it is not even as good as many A-class cars, which is why it cannot become the mainstream and can only take a niche route.
NO.3: Volvo S60 T8
If you're in a restricted city with more than 300,000 in hand and want to own a luxury branded sedan, Volvo's S60 T8 should be on demand. Luxury brands from Northern Europe keep you out of the BBA's clichés, and green cards are exempt from purchase tax.
In appearance, the Volvo S60 T8 is no different from the regular version, using a family design language, straight waterfall grille and Quake headlights look recognizable.
The layout of the center console in the car is simple, the functional areas are unobstructed, and the learning cost is very low. The slight disadvantage is that because it is a standard axle body, the rear space will appear slightly cramped.
In terms of power, the S60 T8 uses a combination of 2.0T twin supercharged engine + motor, matching the 8AT transmission, the system has a comprehensive power of 288kW, a peak torque of 640Nm, and an acceleration time of only 4.7 seconds per 100 kilometers
Similarly, the S60 T8 terminal market has a considerable discount, low-end models can be obtained for less than 340,000, and the cost performance is still very good.
NO.4: Jaguar XEL
As a car company born in the United Kingdom, Jaguar is born with its own control genes. Although the domestic XEL wheelbase has been lengthened, the selling point is not less, and the all-aluminum body and the front and rear 50:50 body counterweights are still online. Equipped with a 2.0T Injeri engine with a maximum horsepower of 250 hp and a peak torque of 365 Nm, the drivetrain is matched to the ZF 8AT transmission.
In terms of appearance, Jaguar's product appearance has always been very high, although the price is not high, but it gives the impression that it is a car with hundreds of thousands of people, so it can also support the scene when driving out. The car is equipped with two large LCD screens, excellent technical atmosphere, the steering wheel uses the latest three-frame design, the disc body is made of chrome and piano paint trim plate combination, the look is very good.
NO.5: Ford Explorer
It would be absolutely interesting to put a longitudinal rear-drive platform + Ford Mustang engine on an SUV, and the Ford Explorer is such a car.
The appearance is very tough, typical of the American car style, but also equipped with ST-Line sports kit, adapted to different consumer groups. The body size is 5075*2004*1778mm, the wheelbase is 3025mm, and it is available in two combinations: 6-seater and 7-seater.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 2.3T turbo engine, with a maximum horsepower of 276 hp and a peak torque of 425 Nm, which matches a 10AT transmission and offers a choice of rear-drive and all-wheel drive models.
summary
The above are a few models that I personally think are unpopular but the comprehensive strength of the product is not bad at all, if you don't care about the brand or the retention rate, but just want to spend the money in the real place, they can meet your needs.
