Not to mention that a large number of recharge evaluations are flooding the Internet, and the water armies of various brands are waving their flags and shouting, even if they are professional and fair car programs, they will inevitably mislead consumers.
For example, the range or fuel consumption test, the same road conditions, the same environment, the same vehicle settings, and the substitution in the middle of the process, alternately follow, to avoid errors caused by wind resistance or driving style - this is already very fair. The endurance achievement rate of the first place is 70%, the second place is 69%, the third place is 68%, and the last place is 65%. As a result, you remember the first and last places, leaving the impression that the first place has a solid battery life and the last place has a weak battery life. In fact, you have been misled. A 5% achievement rate isn't as big as you might think, and different testing environments can also lead to very different rankings.
Another example is the recent popular winter test of a certain car emperor, even if it is fair, for the southern partners, the reference significance is infinitely close to zero.
Even if it is the same sentence, the logical stress is different, which can lead to different meanings. It's not too easy to mislead you in a car review, even if the whole process is flawless. So, you can watch these car review shows, but don't let them lead you by the nose. Keep your heart and stick to the following principles, you may not be able to choose the best, but at least you can choose the most suitable for you. (The car selection principles in this article are only applicable to the household class)
1. Don't buy a car if it's less than 100,000
A car is a luxury, even if it is a second-hand car for 20,000 yuan, it is actually a luxury. For the family's first car, this is a consumption upgrade, after the car is purchased, it is necessary to buy car insurance, refuel, buy or rent a car space, and maintain it every year...... Maintaining a car will increase your expenses and is not conducive to saving money, so 100,000 yuan can be regarded as a minimum threshold. If you don't even have 100,000 in hand, it's best to dismiss the idea of buying a car first. If you are a young person, you will work hard for another two years, even if your family will give you money, I still recommend that you suffer a little while you are young.
There are always exceptions, such as facing a major juncture in life such as falling in love, getting married, or needing to use a car to make a living, driving can save you more than 1 hour of commuting time a day, and you can also consider buying a car when you don't have enough money. However, the principle of not buying a car for less than 100,000 is still applicable in general.
2. Estimate how many kilometers you can drive in a year
Some manufacturers advertise that the car is your mobile home, and you might as well calculate how long you can stay in the car in a year. Think about it again, is it worth spending all the extra time in the car?
For most families in the mainland, the annual use of a car is only 10,000 or 20,000 kilometers. 10,000 kilometers is the majority, and more than 20,000 kilometers is very small. At an average speed of 40 km/h, 10,000 km/h is equivalent to spending only 250 hours in the car a year, which is equivalent to 10.5 days. Less than 3% of your life.
The air suspension can greatly improve your comfort, the seat massage is also very enjoyable, and the optional 8,000-piece panoramic canopy is very high. However, remember the 3% figure before you face the marketing tactics of merchants, and you only spend about 3% of your time in the car each year. It's not that it's not worth it later, but thinking about the 3% figure will make you cool head.
Think about your wife again, how much time the children spend in the car in a year, they may only be 1%, the big screen in the passenger seat, the TV in the car, do you really need it?
3. Distinguish the difference between 1 yuan and 10,000 yuan
This seems to be a nonsense, but it is a psychological misunderstanding that many people have. The 50 yuan ice cream is called the ice cream assassin, you scold the street while eating, and feel sorry that the 50 yuan is not worth dying, but when you buy a car, you don't feel the extra 500 yuan for the license fee. 2000 yuan to buy a tablet, you may consider various comparisons and choose the most cost-effective one. And when you buy a car, because you like a big screen in the car, it doesn't hurt if you pay an extra 10,000 yuan.
The purchasing power of 10,000 yuan has not changed, and your income has not increased, but compared with hundreds of thousands of large items like cars, it seems that these are just small money. The brain, which is controlled by the impulse to consume, would not have thought at this time that it would only cost six or seven thousand yuan to buy an 85-inch TV. What kind of cautious attitude do you usually spend 10,000 yuan, why don't you buy a car?
Fourth, make a sound choice
Leap C01 extended range version, 150,000 yuan can buy 316 kilometers of pure electric range, medium and large sedans, first-class cost performance. It's definitely a great value option, but it's not the most secure option. (It's not that Leap C01 is not worth buying, on the contrary, I highly recommend it) After all, the brand power of Leap is still insufficient, and the current sales volume and ownership are still relatively small, and it has not been fully tested by the market.
Another example is the newly listed Galaxy E8, the starting price is less than 190,000, 800V platform, 8295 chip, 0.199 drag coefficient, it is definitely a product worth paying attention to, but the new model, the potential problems have not been fully exposed, not that it will have problems, but from a safe point of view, it is better to have the official website for a period of time.
In short, if you buy a big brand, have a high number of models, and have been fully tested by the market, the probability of problems in the later stage will be lower.
Fifth, distinguish between needs and wants
What you need is a car, and what you want is CDC suspension, 003 seconds of power, advanced assisted driving, 800V pure electric platform...... People can pay for their desires, but everyone's ability to pay is different. Within your ability, it is the enjoyment you deserve, and beyond your ability, it is the slave of your own desires and the leek of the merchant.
Of all aspects of a vehicle's performance, some are worth your money, and some are not.
1. Fuel consumption: Nowadays, models with low fuel consumption (car cost) are not expensive, Qin PLUS has dropped to 8.98, and the starting price of Changan Qiyuan A05 is less than 90,000. On the other hand, choose a car, if its fuel consumption makes you nerve-wracking, it means that it is not suitable for you, reduce the budget, and you can go all the way down to the level of Qin and Song DM-i.
2. Power: Take zero hundred acceleration as the standard, don't buy it for more than 9 seconds, too meat actually affects safety. 6-8 seconds can already be said to be full of power, and no matter how fast it is, it doesn't make much practical sense. The power of more than 6 seconds is used to "play", nothing to step on, when playing a roller coaster. More than 4 seconds has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to control, and there is no need to pursue it at all.
3. Safety: Vehicle safety is worth spending money, after all, you only have one life, but you don't have to go to extremes, after all, life-threatening traffic accidents are extremely low probability events. My personal opinion is to take 5 stars as the minimum standard, even if it is 4 stars, it is not necessarily safe enough, but we have so many choices, why bother?
4. Configuration: Refer to the above articles to see your wallet. Your 10,000 yuan and my 10,000 yuan are different, 10,000 yuan may only be your income for a week, you add a seat heating massage comfort bag and feel very cost-effective, and 10,000 yuan I have to move bricks for two months, and the seat is not as comfortable as my rest for two months.
5. Handling: The better the handling, the worse the car sells in China, which makes sense. For a family car, this is the icing on the cake and does not directly affect the purchase decision.
6. Endurance: The pure electric range of the hybrid car is not important, if you have a home charger, the commuting distance from the home to the unit X3 is enough, even if it is not enough, the hybrid is nothing more than a little fuel. Pure electric vehicles are not the higher the battery life, the better, we still travel in the city most of the time, and the long battery life is nothing more than a few less charges. It's not worth it for this
Vehicles are the second largest household expense, after property, and an irrational choice can mean spending a few months of household income on something you don't need. In fact, the various performance tests of the vehicle have little to do with the attributes of the family car that most people need. The product power of the vehicle can never be separated from the price, and it is the consumers themselves who really pay for it.
