In the past, there was a saying that "everyone who understands the public goes to buy Skoda". However, it is such a Skoda that launched a limited-time promotion last month, with a guide price of 174,900 for the speedpie, a direct discount of 43,000, and only sold for 131,900.

It must be known that Skoda Speed is a medium-sized car on the same platform as the Volkswagen Passat and Magotan , and even switched to the MQB platform a year earlier than Magotan in China.

In fact, in the increasingly volatile domestic market, many joint venture mid-size SUVs have been discounted to the price of 150,000, and the whole series is equipped with 2.0T as standard, and the four-wheel drive version can even be picked up in the early 160,000s, which is cheaper than Geely Xingyue L!

Changan Ford Ruiji

Manufacturer's guide price: 16.98-219,800 yuan

Terminal discount: 4.0-45,000 yuan (2020 model)

Wheelbase: 2710mm

Powertrain: 2.0T (248Ps 393N·m) + 8AT

Changan Ford Ruiji is one of the few joint ventures that still has a high cost performance under the impact of a domestic SUV such as Xingyue L. The main product strength is the excellent chassis, the standard 2.0T of the whole series, and the four-wheel drive.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the 2020 model of this car currently has a discount of 4-45,000 yuan, and the price of the two-wheel drive entry-level version of the naked car is less than 130,000 yuan, and the landing price does not exceed 150,000 yuan.

The price of a naked car with four-wheel drive entry configuration can be as low as 140,000, and 165,000 can land. Even if it is a self-owned brand, there are not many such models. Like the four-wheel drive version of Geely Xingyue L, the landing price still has to go to 190,000 yuan after the discount.

However, Ford launched the 2023 Ruiji in August, and the discount was recovered to 30,000 yuan. The 2020 model is now selling less and less, and waiting for such a discount may have to wait until the New Year.

In terms of power, Ruiji is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 248 horsepower, and the peak torque reaches 393 Nm. Although this parameter is not so bright under the impact of the autonomous 2.0T engine. However, this machine does not need to burn 95 like the 2.0T of Xingyue L.

SAIC-Volkswagen Skoda Kodiak

Manufacturer's guide price: 19.19-243,900 yuan

Terminal discount: 3.2-40,000 yuan

Wheelbase: 2791mm

Powertrain: 2.0T (186Ps 320Nm) + 7-speed wet dual-clutch

If you search the Internet for "buried joint venture good cars", eighty percent will have Skoda Kodiak. In fact, from the name Kodiak, you can see the expectations of this car within the Volkswagen Group.

The name of the car is taken from the name of a fierce bear that lives in the Arctic, and the Kodiak bear can grow up to 800 kilograms. (However, the official domestic version is taken from Kodiak Island, where this bear lives)

However, sales were not satisfactory, with Kodiak selling only 337 units in July, while the Auto-Volkswagen Tiguan L on the same platform sold 12,678 units.

Therefore, this car has a discount of 32,000-40,000 at the terminal, and can even give 47,000 in the auto trade channel.

According to this discount, the price of a naked car in the entry-level configuration is only 150,000 yuan. Although it is an entry-level configuration, this configuration can actually meet the needs of daily use. For example, the front and rear side air curtains and front side airbags are equipped, and there is no joint venture entry configuration like some joint ventures, only for the main and passenger airbags.

In addition, such as reversing video, cruise control, front keyless entry, LED headlights, main and passenger power seat adjustment, these joint venture models often reduced the entry configuration, also equipped.

As mentioned earlier, this car and the Volkswagen Tiguan L are based on the MQB platform. However, unlike the Tiguan L, all Kodiak models are equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 186 horsepower. And the terminal price is 40,000 cheaper than the Tiguan L.

If you don't care when Skoda will withdraw from the Chinese market and are interested in the Tiguan L, then Kodiak will be a very cost-effective alternative. Then again, even if Skoda withdraws from the Chinese market, there is no need to worry about follow-up maintenance problems, and the common parts of these two cars are as similar as the Monkey King and the six-eared macaque.

SAIC-GM Chevrolet Trailblazer

Manufacturer's guide price: 19.49-266,900 yuan

Terminal discount: 1.00-28,000 yuan

Body wheelbase: 2863mm

Powertrain: 2.0T (237Ps 350N·m) + 9AT

Chevrolet launched the 2023 Trailblazer in July, and there are not many changes from the 2022 model, but the length of the car has changed from 4999mm to 5011mm. Pioneer owners can finally say that they are driving a medium and large SUV with a length of more than 5 meters.

However, the configuration and official guidance price have been greatly adjusted, first of all, the 5-seat version has been canceled, and secondly, the entry configuration has been reduced from 259,900 yuan to 194,900 yuan, which is equivalent to an official drop of 65,000.

In terms of discounts, the 2023 model of the discount is generally not much discounted, a few regions can give 10,000 discounts, official reduction plus discounts, compared with the 2022 model guidance price is 70,000 yuan cheaper.

However, this guidance price is still not very inconsistent with consumers' perception of Chevrolet's preferential range, to know that in the first half of this year, some areas can buy cars through internal employee discounts, 259,900 of this configuration, 160,000 can pick up the car.

Even if the 2022 model can give 80,000 discounts, the price of naked cars is still around 175,000. Although the Pioneer, as the same platform model of the Buick Encore flag, can land for 200,000, which is very cost-effective in terms of product power, this set of interiors is always uninteresting.
