In the last period, Degang Analyzed Several Overseas Models Suitable for Listing in China, and also conducted a market analysis. Today to bring you a few more models, we not only hope that they can be produced and sold in China, but also should see the direction of the times they lead, according to our national conditions to develop products that are more in line with consumers.
Suzuki Speedwing
The name Suzuki Swift Wing may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, in fact, it is suzuki swift, the English name is "SWIFT", but the Suzuki swift is a domestic model, but also the suzuki SWIFT international market fourth generation / Japan's second generation model, and now the overseas Suzuki SWIFT has reached the sixth generation / Japan's local fourth generation. At that time, Suzuki SWIFT was the first to develop overseas markets, and the second generation of overseas models was the early sedan antelope that we know. In the generation of Suzuki Swift, the Japanese and overseas markets were updated synchronously, and they also entered China.
Suzuki Swift was the name given by Chinese, when Suzuki Swift was still selling, but Suzuki put the new generation of SWIFT in import form in China to sell, so in order to distinguish it from Swift, it was called Suwingt. Clear-eyed people know that it is a swift at a glance, and the result can be imagined, there are tens of thousands of swifts, and more than 100,000 swift wings cannot be sold. But now that the demand for Chinese cars has changed, the automobile market has gradually matured, and if it can return to the Chinese market in the form of imports, as long as the pricing is reasonable, it is still acceptable. It's just that everyone needs to forget about the Swift and welcome the arrival of the new model. It is a pity that Suzuki did not insist on it again, otherwise it would still be sold in the form of domestic production, selling for about 80,000 yuan, this car must be on fire!
Mazda 2
Mazda 2 has been domestically produced in the domestic market, everyone is also very familiar with it, and the sales volume of that year is very good, and even many car companies imitate its appearance for research and development. In that year, Mazda 2 was undoubtedly successful, but as Chinese auto consumers turned to large-space SUV models, the small-sized Mazda 2 began to have no competitive advantage, and naturally there was no significance of upgrading, and now the new overseas Mazda 2 has been listed.
The all-new Mazda 2 was developed jointly with Toyota and therefore looks particularly like Toyota's YARiS, but retains some of the Mazda's design elements, which are currently sold mainly in the European market. Cooperation with Toyota believes that everyone has already guessed, the new Mazda 2 uses Toyota THS hybrid system, equipped with a combination of 1.5L three-cylinder engine + motor, its maximum power is 116 horsepower, 0-100km/h acceleration time is 9.7 seconds. Let's put aside the deeper interests of Toyota and Mazda, today's Mazda is not doing well in China, Toyota has not introduced a new YARiS model, and at this time people are also in need of a small and cheap hybrid model with Toyota technology, these needs coincide with the new Mazda 2, if you can enter the Chinese market is not only good news for consumers, but also to save Mazda's defeat in the Chinese market.
Acura TLX
For the acura brand, it really makes many fans love and hate, after coming to China, the import performance in the first few years is quite good, and then cooperate with GAC to produce domestically, and the product line is a mess. The car is really good, but due to poor publicity, the scientific and technological configuration can not keep up with the times, the cost performance is not high, and later the exterior design and interior design are disjointed. Now it's too late to say anything, Acura is not without good cars, but it is too important to the North American market, such as the new TLX is very good.
I would like to ask everyone here, is the appearance of the new Acura TLX very handsome? The back also has a bilateral four-out exhaust, a sneaky shape, and a longer engine compartment to make the body proportions very harmonious. The interior design is also very avant-garde, whether it is the color collocation or the design of the mood light, it is very outstanding in the same level. There is also the new Integra, the orthodox sequel to "hard sweet potato" has not been introduced to the Chinese market. It is said that the new Acura TLX appearance is also much more beautiful than Integra, and now it is the era of the domestic automobile market towards sports and rejuvenation, Acura has withdrawn from China, and it is really a pity that models like TLX have not been brought into the Chinese market.
Kia is almost entirely of the car series
For Kia Motors' situation in China today, Che Degang can only say that if you don't pay attention to the Chinese auto market, then simply quit! At present, in addition to the Kia K5, KX3 and Kia Kahua models currently on sale in China, other models have been disconnected from Kia's global models for several years from appearance to interior, from chassis to configuration. Kia Kahua's price is not to mention anything, the price directly put an end to its competition with Honda Ellison and Buick GL8. At last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Kia exhibited the EV6 series models, I don't know if it will enter the Chinese market, as a newly designed pure electric model, once it enters the domestic prospects are still considerable, but I don't know if the future price will disappoint everyone.
Speaking of YaForte, a family compact car whose exterior design and interior design are very much in line with the aesthetics of Chinese, Kia has no intention of introducing it. ProCeed such a station wagon, the appearance design is also very young and fashionable, and the station wagon is currently in little demand in China, but there are not many competitors. The overseas version of the Kia K3 has also completed the replacement, and the appearance and configuration of the new car have been fully upgraded. Seltos, stonic, Sportage, Niro and other cars have not entered the domestic market, and these models include KX5, KX7, Edgittarius and SmartCar replacement models, which are also global cars. As for Korean local cars like K8, K9, K900, we are even less extravagant. Therefore, Kia's achievements today have a lot to do with itself, and the Chinese auto market needs to be operated with care.
Hyundai i20
Compared with Kia, Hyundai's performance in the Chinese market is much better, its main sales models Sonata, Elantra, Tucson and other models have achieved timely replacement, including hybrid models also in time to get the Chinese market, the newly listed MPV Kustu pricing 169,800 yuan also has a lot of conscience, of course, the effect is also significant, Hyundai's sales in recent years began to gradually rise. However, cars like the Hyundai i20 are still more needed in China.
Nowadays, Hyundai does have small cars and compact cars such as Yuena and Yuedong, but it can be completely replaced by models such as the i20 and i30 in parallel. The i30 was also sold in China for a while, and sales were good at the time, and hyundai elantra was also sold as an i30 model in overseas markets. The domestic Yuena can be regarded as the same level of i20 models, but now it should also be replaced, of course, the current environment in which Beijing Hyundai is located, there is indeed Elantra in the compact market to support, but the introduction of i20 can undoubtedly make its product line more abundant.
Chedegang Summary:
Several of the models introduced today are in line with the current needs of Chinese consumers, and Suzuki's withdrawal from China is indeed a pity, but it is hoped that Speedwing can return to China as an importer. The new Mazda 2, if the listing price is lower than the Mazda 3, also has a great competitive advantage, especially the hybrid version. Acura has withdrawn from China, the cost performance is indeed not good, if the TLX imported to the domestic price is similar to the Audi A4L, the competitiveness will be very obvious. As for Kia, I hope to pay more attention to the Chinese market, and if we continue like this, we will only be eliminated. For Beijing Hyundai, the current work has been really good, I hope the product line is more abundant.
