3.0T big V6, the price of the former god car Touareg naked car plummeted! Blame Volkswagen "nesting doll" or new energy?

As the most expensive SUV model of Volkswagen, the Volkswagen Touareg has a starting price of about 500,000 yuan. Compared with models in the same price range, BBA models such as Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5, and Audi Q7 can basically be considered. Although the current Volkswagen Touareg no longer has the previous style, it also occupies a place in the domestic medium and large SUV market, and people who basically understand cars will give priority to the Volkswagen Touareg. However, at present, the imported Touareg has given a price of less than 400,000 yuan for naked cars.
Volkswagen Touareg as a generation of classic "god car", the latest model adopts the classic design language of the Volkswagen family, the front face adopts the design of a large-size banner grille, the interior is blackened, and the matrix headlights on both sides are also very prominent. At the same time, the narrow waistline runs from the front to the rear, and the design of the large wheels gives people a sportier visual effect.
In addition, for a mid-to-large SUV, space is naturally important. The length, width and height of the Volkswagen Touareg are 4878x1984x1694mm, and the wheelbase is 2899mm. Taking Xiaobian's height of 1.8 meters as an example, sitting in the back row of the car still leaves about 1 and a half fists of legroom, as well as more than 1 fist of headroom, and the three people in the back row will not feel crowded at all. Moreover, a large area of the car is wrapped with leather materials, which has excellent performance in terms of visual effect and riding space.
The Volkswagen Touareg is based on the Volkswagen MLB Evo platform, equipped with a 3.0T V6 turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 250kW and a maximum torque of 450Nm, and an acceleration time of only 5.9 seconds. You must know that Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Lamborghini URUS and other models are all from the platform, and the performance parameters are naturally needless to mention, and their actual performance has also been well received by many consumers. Moreover, the Volkswagen Touareg adopts a double five-link design at the front and rear, which can also show good body stability when dealing with some bumps, sharp corners and other road conditions.
At present, with the rise of domestic independent brand models and the continuous expansion of the market share of new energy off-road, models such as Yangwang U8, Tank 500 Hi4-T, and Formula Leopard Leopard 5 also occupy a large market share. Moreover, compared to the more traditional powertrain of the Volkswagen Touareg, it has already posed a certain threat. After all, if you look at it from the perspective of product power alone, oil and electricity can not only solve everyone's anxiety in terms of mileage, coupled with more abundant functional configurations, it can basically meet the car needs of the vast majority of consumers.
At the same time, combined with the current second-hand car market, the depreciation rate of the Volkswagen Touareg is also more prominent. Basically, a 3-year-old Touareg has a depreciation rate of more than 30%, and it must depreciate by at least 50,000 yuan a year. Therefore, in less than 5 years or so, the residual value of the basic new car is only half of the original value.
It can be seen that as the former generation of hegemons, the myth of the Volkswagen Touareg has slowly faded. If the public can not adapt to the changes of the development of the times, as well as combine the advantages and highlights of competitors, through the way of updating and iterating, to achieve self-improvement. Then, the Volkswagen Touareg will also go from glory to decline. What do you think about this? Welcome to leave a message below to discuss.
