Before the price of Xiaomi cars was announced, many domestic brands of new cars were cutting prices, BYD took the lead in attacking, its hybrid models dropped to less than 100,000, and some pure electric models also had tens of thousands of price reductions, which eventually led to the overall price reduction of Xiaomi cars by 50,000, which is what Mr. Lei himself said. However, domestic cars did not get involved in joint venture luxury brands, and Mercedes-Benz's new cars were still sold for 500,000 yuan.
The new car I want to talk about today is the Mercedes-Benz GLC coupe, there are two new cars, and the prices are 489,500 and 566,000 respectively. This pricing is not cost-effective, if the new generation adds new features, consumers can also accept, but the appearance and interior of the new car continue to the previous generation of models, there is no innovation at all, so the price of this new car is not acceptable to consumers, because consumers prefer the old model with a higher cost performance.
In terms of appearance, the new car is remarkable in design, and many elements are more pleasing to young people, such as the familiar grille with a star-like style, as well as a large Mercedes-Benz LOGO, a combination of fashion and sport, especially suitable for use in the city. The light group is designed to open the corner, the interior is a digital headlight, and the bottom is joined with an AMG-like sports package, which has a better sports effect. In addition, the digital headlights have a 2.6 million pixel projection function, which requires players to add money to the option.
From the side, the roof adopts a fastback design, and the drag coefficient is 0.27CD, which is a little lower than the old model, and the performance has also been improved, but the perception is not strong. The body shape has not changed at all, the overall is quite full, there are footpegs at the bottom, and the spoked wheels look particularly high-end. The length of the new car is 31mm longer than the previous generation, and the Chinese people like big cars, which is very in line with the preferences of the Chinese people. At the rear, there are through-type taillights, with a ducktail on top, chrome elements at the bottom, and bilateral air vents, which have a good sporty effect.
The interior part, the new car has a good performance in terms of technology, the dashboard is a suspended design, with a size of 12.3 inches, and the central control screen is embedded in the design, with a size of 11.9 inches, and the built-in MBUX system is not stuck at all. The familiar round air vents are also present on this car, and the symmetrical design is adopted, and the overall look and feel is harmonious. The steering wheel is a three-spoke flat-bottom structure, the shape is somewhat different from the previous generation model, and the new car also has a head-up display, supports voice wake-up and other functions, and has made progress in intelligence.
In terms of power, the two models are equipped with the same power, but the tuning is different, the same is 2.0T+48V, the power shown is 204ps and 258ps, the torque is 320N·m and 400N·m, the gap is not too big, with the 9AT gearbox, equipped with a four-wheel drive system. Although the performance gap is not large, the price difference is that of a domestic car, and consumers with insufficient budget are better off choosing the low-power one.
In general, high-end brand models never roll up the configuration and price, this kind of car is not sold in price and configuration, but brand power, which is two tracks with domestic cars, so the volume of domestic cars has no impact on Mercedes-Benz, GLC still sold to 500,000.
