Two Thousand, Squeeze Forward and Squeeze Back

Brothers, I have opened a new book again: Restarting Life: I can call myself ten years ago. Brothers, help me collect it and give some recommendations!

******************

Videos of the first batch of domestic car buyers’ personal user experiences were quickly uploaded to overseas video websites.

As a result, as soon as these videos came out, they immediately caused an uproar.

In fact, when it comes to car culture, foreign countries are definitely more mature than us.

Because they have privately owned cars longer than we have.

Moreover, the car-using environment we face is more diverse than ours.

So they all have their own needs and experiences when it comes to cars.

But in the end, the summary is that most people like the kind of mobility scooter that can basically meet their needs.

After all, although the luxury car is good, the oil is also very good.

Everyone in hardcore off-roading knows that this thing is good, has high hardness, and is safer in the event of a collision.

And it can go on bad roads and has better passability.

But the problem is that this thing has a high center of gravity, high mass, and low fuel consumption.

In the past, when oil prices were low, everyone could still afford to drive, but now oil prices are so high.

And it always reaches new highs, and everyone really can’t afford it.

However, the hybrid model of Great Wall Tank 300 can be said to have just solved this pain point.

You can choose hybrid when driving in the city, and fuel direct drive when driving off-road.

One model, two enjoyments, truly a multi-purpose vehicle.

I don’t think about many SUVs. Although they are literally multi-purpose vehicles, in fact, apart from a little more space, they are really not that amazing.

And this car really does it.

Many people have even done tests. The hybrid version of the Tank 300 costs more than 500 yuan per tank of fuel. After all, off-road vehicles have large fuel tanks.

If you fill it up,

When running in the city, if you can still go home and charge it every night.

It's no exaggeration to say that if you don't run on the highway or go cross-country, this tank of fuel will be enough for you to run for three months.

This has been tested by many car owners themselves, and they even reminded everyone on the forum.

If you have no plans to go cross-country or run long distances recently, be sure not to fill up the gas tank when refueling.

If you are not careful, the gasoline may go bad before you run out of oil.

This is really no exaggeration, because the gasoline used in many areas in the country is ethanol gasoline.

And these gasolines have a shelf life. If you don't use them up within a certain period of time, the gasoline will really deteriorate under certain circumstances.

That would damage the car.

This also gives many owners of the Tank 300 hybrid another sweet trouble.

How much oil should be added at one time?

But their troubles have made foreign consumers look at it with envy!

Especially consumers in Australia and New Zealand?

With just over 30,000 Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars, you can buy a brand new hybrid tank 300.

They can also buy a Tesla at this price.

But after all, not everyone likes Tesla, because Tesla is a pure electric car, and Tesla has not been able to solve the range anxiety problem of consumers.

If you just commute to and from get off work in the city every day, that's fine.

But if you need to run long distances, it will be troublesome.

When you run the air conditioner on the road and run more than 200 kilometers, you will start to think about finding charging stations.

In foreign countries, the construction of charging piles is not as convenient as in our country.

And there are only a few charging piles in many areas, so you might have to queue up.

Also, charging prices abroad are not as cheap as in China.

For many consumers, they are still more willing to buy hybrid cars that can run with refueling.

Although electric vehicles have super fast charging, it still takes more than an hour to charge.

This makes everyone a little anxious about the process...

It is precisely with this consideration that the hybrid model of Tank 300 quickly became popular in Australia and New Zealand.

The order volume soon exceeded 10,000, and even went straight to 20,000.

You know, this is monthly sales!

This has set a monthly sales record in Australia and New Zealand.

You must know that the most popular car model in Australia and New Zealand was Toyota.

Toyota can sell more than 10,000 units a month and more than 200,000 units annually. This is already the performance of a ceiling-mounted machine.

Of course this mainly refers to new cars!

As for the second and third places, many people must not have thought of them.

It will be Mazda and Mitsubishi which are not common in China.

The reason why these two cars are so popular in Australia and New Zealand is because these two cars are not fooled locally, and the mechanical quality of the cars is pretty good.

For example, Mazda, this car is known as the BMW of Japanese cars.

The chassis tuning is absolutely superb, and the engine performance is also very good.

But it just doesn’t sell well in China, why?

Because he will not cater to domestic consumers and will not promote cars!

Domestic consumers all like big cars, but this model, priced at more than 200,000 yuan, has about the same space as an A-class car.

The same is true for Mitsubishi. The chassis and engine performance are good, but they are almost extinct in China.

The main reason is that there are too few models on the market, which cannot attract the attention of consumers.

But in the Australian and New Zealand markets, these domestic niche models are more popular.

After Toyota, the most popular Japanese model.

Because they are not as crazy as Nissan and Honda.

Foreign consumers are not stupid either. Although Nissan and Honda do not dare to do as much in overseas areas as they do in our country.

But there are often tampering with safety configurations, and foreign consumers will not tolerate you.

If you make a mistake once, people will write it down in their notebook and they won't buy your car next time.

In the country, there is a group of kneeling people who are not the same as amnesiacs.

Therefore, Nissan and Honda are not particularly good when purchased in the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Especially for Honda, which is well-known in China, in the Australian and New Zealand markets, new cars are purchased for just over 3,000 yuan a month.

It's not even as good as Nissan, which is a huge contrast with our domestic market.

As for fourth and fifth, they are Hyundai and Ford.

Needless to say, Hyundai has no shortcomings and a long warranty. This is the main reason for its popularity.

As for Ford, the main thing that is popular is the pickup truck. Although it has high fuel consumption, it is very popular with local farmers.

The appearance of the Great Wall Tank 300 this time can be said to be a super spoiler.

Monthly orders have exceeded 15,000, which is going straight to Toyota's position as the leader in the region.

This is also a challenge Toyota has never faced in the past two decades.

But so what if I'm panicking?

After all, they really can't come up with a model that can compete with this car.

Although they also have off-road vehicles such as the Prado, they really don’t have a hybrid system installed on the Prado.

However, you can also modify the hybrid system that was previously installed on the Prius.

But the problem is that their battery capacity and management system are both problematic.

The Prius was a very capable hybrid car ten years ago.

It can even be said that in the new energy field at that time, this car had no rivals.

But now, facing the rise of Chinese cars, they have no chance.

If nothing else, let’s talk about power batteries.

No one in our Chinese cars uses nickel-metal hydride batteries anymore, but they still use them.

This is very telling.

The main feature of this nickel-metal hydride battery is that it is cheap.

But the energy density is low. When installed on a Prius, it can run 70 kilometers on pure electricity.

But they also transplanted it to the Highlander, so that it can run 40 kilometers on pure electric power.

If it is installed on a Prado, it is estimated that it can run for 20 kilometers purely on electricity.

This would be very useless.

And their nickel-metal hydride batteries basically have to be replaced every ten years.

And the replacement price is not cheap, basically starting at 10,000 yuan.

As for the lithium batteries used in our hybrid vehicles, they are basically pure electric versions that start at 70 kilometers, and those at one level higher can run 110 kilometers.

Some even exaggerate, saying that it can run 140 kilometers on pure electricity.

And in terms of safety and stability, it is stronger than Toyota's nickel-metal hydride batteries.

The most important thing is that in China, we still have a warranty on this thing.

Within a certain number of years and within a certain number of kilometers, as long as it declines to 75% or the power battery fails, the manufacturer will provide a warranty.

And this process and years are longer than Toyota's!

In this way, it can be said that Toyota's hybrid cars have no advantage at all.

What do you think he compares with ours?

So people at Toyota are very anxious!

Damn it, in the Rabbit Country, it has been attacked from both sides by Chery and Great Wall, and it has lost a lot of market.

These two things from this guy have rushed overseas so quickly to challenge my market position?

In the Middle East and South America, Toyota's market leader position has all felt the impact and influence of Chery.

Chery's surge in orders in the above-mentioned regions already illustrates the problem.

And now there are many dealers in Southeast Asia who are also vying to introduce Chery to their countries.

If they are allowed to do this, Toyota's sales in Southeast Asia will inevitably be affected.

Because now in Australia and New Zealand, they have already been impacted.

For example, this month, Toyota's orders dropped by more than 2,000 units month-on-month.

As for other brands, even more orders have been lost, especially Mazda and Mitsubishi, which are very sad.

On the contrary, Great Wall quickly became one of the top three local car sales thanks to its new hybrid model, the Tank 300.

It can even be said that it is now closely behind Toyota.

This posture is exactly the same as when the new Ma Liu was born!

It is said that in 2003 and 2004, Mazda had a hit model.

It was the New Malaysia Six that later became a mess on the road!

It can be said that this car completely redefined the new generation of mid-size cars.

When this car was launched in our country, there was a scene of people queuing up to pick up the car at a higher price.

The original price was more than 260,000 yuan, but the craziest thing was that the price was even increased to more than 300,000 yuan.

In foreign countries, the name of this car was called Atez at that time, and the European version was sold overseas.

The shape is more than twice as good-looking as the domestic ones!
