In November, the sales volume was freshly released, and in the sedan market, the Seagull maintained its top sales position with 40,594 units, and the Tesla Model Y in the SUV market still performed steadily, selling 49,877 units, a proper sales king.
However, the MPV market has undergone a slight change, the Buick GL8, which was originally firmly in the championship, was pulled down again, and the Denza D9 DM-i successfully won the championship, selling 9,739 units in November.
The reason why I say "again" is because in June of the middle of the year, DENZA D9 also fought a turnaround battle, with sales exceeding 10,000 and successfully reaching the top in that month. To this day, even if the Buick GL8 has a discount of 6,000 yuan for the whole series, it still can't beat the Denza D9, the key is that the starting price of the Denza D9 DM-i is as high as 34It starts at 980,000 yuan, while the Buick GL8 is only 22690,000 yuan, which is more than 100,000 yuan cheaper than Denza D9, is still not selling well, breaking the industry law of "there is no car that cannot be sold, only the price that is not in place".
The problem is **?
Take a closer look, I believe it is not difficult to find that the sales list of sedans, SUVs and MPVs are all new energy vehicles, and the DENZA DM-I was born at the right time, with economic and environmental protection, saving money, and high-tech configuration to meet the needs of consumers, in contrast, Buick GL8 is a little less meaningful.
Comparing the entry-level models of the two, the Buick GL8 2023 Business Class on the Road Luxury is priced at 25290,000 yuan, equipped with 20t engine with a maximum power of 174 kW;The price of the Denza D9 Premium is 34980,000 yuan, although it is equipped with 1The 5T engine, but with the addition of the motor, the total power reaches 221 kilowatts, and the power is not inferior to the Buick GL8.
The key is that DENZA D9, as a new energy vehicle, has its inherent advantages, such as good quietness in the car, in this regard, many friends around the author have shared: after driving a new energy vehicle, there is no going back. For MPVs, most of them are used for business reception, and the highest requirement for cars at this time is to ride comfortably, including large space, quiet interior, etc., and DENZA D9 just has such advantages.
Another example is the contribution of technological intelligence to travel. In the past, under the dynasty established by Buick GL8, MPV had no other highlights except for large space, spacious and comfortable, and now Denza D9 was born, and its scientific and technological intelligent configuration has opened up a new world for everyone, and everyone will think - it turns out that MPV can still play like this. The second row has a separate display so you can lie down and watch TVTouch control screen to control the seat without bending over;There is also a car refrigerator and storage compartment, hot water in winter and cold drinks in summer, which is simply delicious.
Not to mention the fuel-saving advantages of DENZA D9 as a plug-in hybrid vehicle, which greatly reduces the cost of using electricity for daily commuting and long-distance travel, and can also enjoy a number of "privileges" such as green license tax exemption and unlimited travel.
Finally, when it comes to configuration, although the DENZA D9 is a little expensive, it is highly equipped at the entrance. The standard L2 level assisted driving, and the Buick GL8 you want to buy a high configuration,** directly rises to 41790,000 yuan, so the configuration beggar is also a major shortcoming of Buick GL8.
Write at the end
To sum up, although the starting price of Denza D9 is high, it is rich in configuration, more comfortable to ride, and high fuel economy, while Buick GL8 exposes the shortcomings of beggars and high fuel consumption, of course, Denza D9 is not perfect, Buick GL8 is not useless, but Buick is also a century-old car brand, its technology and brand awareness, not all lose Denza, but under the torrent of new energy, Buick is somewhat inferior.
