Many friends may not know that the Mercedes-Benz GLC, which used to be able to "call the wind and rain" in the luxury mid-size SUV market, has also experienced a decline in sales for 2 consecutive months. In the past 11 months, Mercedes-Benz GLC has only handed over a retail sales report card of 5,162 new cars, far lower than the 12,402 units achieved by its competitors Audi Q5L and 9,465 new car sales of BMW X3 in November. And this makes us want to ask: what is the problem with Mercedes-Benz GLC?Why is it that the new car has just been launched in September, and there has been a decline in sales for 2 consecutive months?
In terms of sales figures, Mercedes-Benz GLC was able to achieve retail sales of 12,050 new cars in September, but in October, its sales fell to 7,001 new cars. I thought that more than 7,000 units was already the largest decline in Mercedes-Benz GLC sales, but I never thought that in November, Mercedes-Benz GLC fell directly to the retail sales data of 5,162 new cars. At this point, in the face of such a big sales decline, we also want to ask everyone: why is the sales decline of Mercedes-Benz GLC so serious?If you know, you can leave a message in the comment area to discuss and talk about it.
In our opinion, the current Mercedes-Benz GLC, as a new model that has just completed the upgrade in April this year, and a new facelifted model was launched on September 20, so it stands to reason that there should not be such a sales data performance. Judging from the retail sales data reflected in the terminal, Mercedes-Benz GLC only sold 5,162 new cars in November, and there is a high probability that it will decline in December, which is also very puzzling.
If you want to say that this generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC has any "hard flaws" in terms of product power, I personally think that except for the addition of the 7-seat version of the model, there is no big problem with the rest. And to say **Mercedes GLC that 42The ** that starts at 780,000 yuan is expensive, and I don't think the sales volume should decline to more than 5,000 units per month.
After all, the previous Mercedes-Benz GLC started at more than 400,000 when it was first listed, and even if the terminal discount is counted, the price of the new car is still in the starting range of about 10,000. Therefore, now that the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC is on sale, why are the Chinese people not very willing to pay?Could it be that users with a budget of more than 400,000 cars are ready to buy the ideal L8 L9, or the just-launched Wenjie M9 model?Or is the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLC not fragrant in the minds of consumers?
Objectively speaking, the appearance of this new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLC is still relatively attractive, at least it does not depart from the capable temperament and atmospheric beauty that Mercedes-Benz brand SUVs should have. Especially with the black paint, the whole gives people a strong business luxury atmosphere, which is why Mercedes-Benz GLC has been loved by domestic small bosses and middle-class people for many years.
The interior can't find any big faults, the yacht-style center console design looks very pleasing to the eye, with a high-definition large screen with excellent display effect, a small area of piano paint panels and Mercedes-Benz brand's unique multi-color atmosphere lights, the overall also creates a very high-end and luxurious interior atmosphere. In short, if you buy a car more to pick up customers, then it is indeed better to choose a Mercedes-Benz car, because it does look very luxurious, isn't it?
As for the power, the Mercedes-Benz GLC long wheelbase version is also equipped with 20T engine, of which the GLC 260 L engine has a maximum power of 150 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, while the GLC 300 L engine has a maximum power of 190 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, and the transmission is still mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, and the standard 4MATIC four-wheel drive system is equipped.
By the way, it is also worth mentioning that the fuel consumption of the long-wheelbase version of the **Mercedes-Benz GLC model on sale has also decreased. According to official information, the combined fuel consumption of the GLC 260 L five-seater version of the WLTC is increased by 755L 100km down to 740L 100km, while the combined fuel consumption of the seven-seater version of the WLTC is increased by 755L 100km down to 750L 100km, meanwhile, the combined fuel consumption of the GLC 300 L seven-seater version of the WLTC is also increased by 78L 100km down to 77L 100km, fuel consumption performance is quite good.
All in all, Mercedes-Benz GLC's sales decline in November and the recent two-month period seems to indicate a phenomenon, that is, the traditional German luxury brand SUV seems to be not so popular in China. The reason for this may also be the most directly related to the continuous rise of domestic new energy models. Finally, what do you think about the new Mercedes-Benz GLC that released 5,162 new cars in November?Leave a message in the comment area and let's communicate together.
