"Civilian supercar" Honda Fit must be familiar to everyone, since 2014 the third generation of "GK5" version of the model on the market, sales have been rising gradually, for several years, has maintained a monthly sales of more than 10,000 results, changed the A0 market Volkswagen Polo family dominance of the situation, but careful friends may have found that in recent years, its sales have begun to plummet. So, what is the reason why the once glorious Fit is now abandoned by consumers?
The reason is actually very simple, it is a question of cost performance, to put it bluntly, do you think the current Fit is still worth the money? And not only the Fit, but now it is like a small hatchback similar to the Fit, and the sales are not good, such as Toyota's Zhixuan, including Nissan's small cars, sales are continuing to decline.
At present, the market share of the entire hatchback small car is getting lower and lower, you might as well recall when this kind of hatchback small car became popular, that is, more than ten years ago or less than ten years ago, when the family car really began to enter thousands of households, and most of them are joint venture models, although there are domestic cars but at that time everyone did not dare to buy, because the quality of domestic cars was not good at that time.
The price of the sedan joint venture car is generally relatively high, so this kind of small joint venture car of the hatchback has gradually become popular, relatively low price, and more flexible to drive, fuel consumption performance is also relatively good. And at that time, cars were just starting to become popular, and everyone's requirements for space configuration and other aspects were not as high as they are now, and such a hatchback small car could just meet the needs of everyone's family transportation, and it slowly became popular.
However, with the gradual rise of domestic cars, joint venture models have also begun to fight price wars, the threshold for entering the car is getting lower and lower, the same price and the same budget, can buy a better sedan, and how many people will choose a hatchback?
Therefore, under the same budget, under the premise of being able to buy a sedan, few people will buy a hatchback now, unless it is really to drive flexibly and fuel-efficient in the city, for most people, especially the rigid needs of buying a car as a family unit, will choose a sedan.
In addition, since we have talked about this, Tutu might as well say a few more rounds, take a look at the Fit car, the earliest time the monthly sales of the Fit are going to break 10,000, even in the past few years, the monthly sales can break 10,000, but now, the monthly sales are only a few thousand units, and in March this year, there are even only 1994 units of sales results, why is the sales decline so serious? In addition to the factors of the hatchback analyzed above, you can take a look at the Fit after the replacement, which has been castrated and reduced. Many people even joke that the current fit configuration is not as high as the "old man's music" configuration.
For example, the disc brakes on the rear wheels have been replaced by drum brakes, and the tires of the 195 have been replaced by those of the 185, of course, these have not had much impact on the transportation in the city. But look at the inside of the car, a look at the inside of the car is even more people want to buy the desire is gone, full of plastic feeling, low and medium configuration even directly castrated the central control screen, Carplay is gone, the overseas version of the electronic handbrake to the domestic has also directly become a mechanical handbrake, in addition to the full speed range of ACC cruise has also been castrated, not even the reversing image reversing radar.
This kind of configuration makes many car lovers wonder if this car can still exist in 2024? Isn't this kind of configuration a car produced in the 90s of the last century? This configuration is really not as rich as the current old man's music, and this configuration of the car, if you sell it, you have to sell it for 100,000 yuan, why do you have to buy this car for 100,000 yuan? Family cars that can be bought for 100,000 yuan abound, and you can choose dazzling, why do you have to choose a fit?
Once, the Fit's economy was one of its major advantages, attracting a large number of consumers with limited budgets, however, with the rise of domestic electric vehicles and consumers no longer acquiescing to castration and allocation reduction, this advantage is no longer obvious, and in today's automotive industry, the Fit is no longer the best choice. I don't know what you think about the sharp decline in sales of other hatchbacks such as the Fit? Do you think the current Fit is still worth buying?
