In the past, it was not easy to see a car in the small county towns and towns of the fourth and fifth tiers, and you may have waited for a long time on the side of the road before you saw a tractor coming. But with the development of social economy, basically every family now has a car, and there are more and more cars on the street. 
The economic level is constantly improving, new energy vehicles are rising, and the models of small counties and towns have also undergone significant changes, which used to be basically low-end fuel vehicles, and now there are more and more high-end cars and new energy vehicles, BMW 5 series, Lexus ES, ideal L series, dark blue SL03, etc., in the county, towns and rural areas There are a lot more than before. Small counties are becoming more and more congested, and cars used to be a rare object in rural areas. But as long as you can drive a car home for the New Year, whether you buy it or rent it, it is a capital that you can take out to show off. Nowadays, cars can be seen everywhere in small counties, and luxury cars, joint venture cars, and independent cars have entered thousands of households, so small counties often have serious congestion during the Spring Festival holiday. 
The congestion in small counties is mainly due to the rapid growth of private cars. Over the years, the number of cars has increased day by day, and in some of the more affluent villages, almost every household has a car, and some families have more than one, plus a large number of migrant workers and vehicles have returned to their hometowns, and rural roads have entered the most concentrated period of the year, which is the key reason for rural road congestion. 
Although the current towns and villages have realized "village to village", the roads are still relatively narrow, and it is difficult to meet the needs of a large number of people in a short period of time. In particular, in the event of a traffic accident, the accident vehicle occupies the already narrow two-way traffic lane for a long time, often causing serious congestion. Finally, many intersections in small counties do not have traffic light devices, illegal photo equipment, etc., so that a small number of drivers in the wrong direction, grab the road and other uncivilized driving behaviors can not be corrected in time, which is also a cause of traffic congestion. The phenomenon of consumption upgrading obviously needs to be emphasized here, the author's area is the western Guangdong region, due to China's vast land, so the consumption power of each place is different, here is the editor's observation of the car market in the western Guangdong region. The economy in western Guangdong is booming, everyone's living standards are not too bad, and there is no shortage of high-end goods for transportation. 
During the Spring Festival alone, the author saw two generations of Mercedes-Benz GLS near home, the first generation model and the second generation facelifted model. The first-generation Mercedes-Benz GLS was born in 2006, when the name was still Mercedes-Benz GL, and the second-generation facelifted version was renamed GLS, which officially entered the market in 2016. Mercedes-Benz GLS is still a minority, and more people drive Mercedes-Benz C-class, BMW 3 Series 5 Series, Audi A4L, and most of them are new generation models. Among them, the popularity of the Mercedes-Benz C-class is higher, and the Mercedes-Benz logo halo and exquisite workmanship can attract many female users. The models of the BMW and Audi brands are more popular with male users. Lexus ES is also deeply liked by consumers, who recognize Lexus's relatively stable quality and outstanding driving quality. In addition, Land Rover's Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Sport and other models have a relatively high rate. Cadillac, Volvo, Acura and other brand models are also available, but the visibility is relatively low. 
One of the reasons why more and more consumers choose luxury cars is that the cost of buying a house in western Guangdong is not high, and only about 150,000 yuan (down payment) can buy a relatively good building. This is not too stressful for people who are working hard overseas or in a big city, so they can have more money to buy a car. In addition, many people in western Guangdong also like to do business, and they have also accumulated a lot of wealth. At the same time, auto companies are also actively developing auto financial services, and the reduction of loan costs has also promoted the popularity of luxury. 
Although the number of luxury cars has increased, on the whole, the automobile consumption in the hometown is still mainly supported by Japanese brands such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. Mazda is relatively small, which is similar to the current sales situation of Japanese brands. Nissan's compact sedan Sylphy has a very high appearance rate in rural areas, with no less than 10 units parked on the side of the road alone, and many of them are of the latest generation. Nissan's X-Trail, Qashqai and other SUV models also have a lot, but the number is generally not as good as the Sylphy, which may be related to the improvement of road conditions in the countryside, after all, there is no bad road in the car environment, the sedan is actually more pragmatic. In addition, the price of Sylphy is also more affordable. 
Honda and Toyota are not low in presence, and Dongfeng Honda's XR-V will be more popular than Guangqi Honda's Binzhi, and this may have something to do with the design. Toyota's Corolla and Leiling are also more common, and you can occasionally see R**4 Rongfang and Veranda. At the same time, FAW-Volkswagen Bora and SAIC Volkswagen Lavida also have a lot of figures, and SUVs are mainly Tiguan and Tuyue, which are mostly some more practical models, and monthly sales are very good. Pure electric vehicles are well recognized, and although overseas brand models are well received by the market, there are also many products of independent brands. Due to the geographical advantages of GAC Group, the recognition of GAC Trumpchi models in western Guangdong is not bad, Trumpchi GS5, Trumpchi GS4 and other SUV models are very popular, the price of these independent SUVs is relatively close to the people, and the appearance and quality are not low. 
Wuling Hongguang, which often ranks first in the list of MPV retail sales, is a frequent visitor on the rural street, the car is not the most affordable and durable, and also has excellent loading capacity, which is a good helper for rural people to make a fortune. The author also found the figure of the Great Wall cannon. As a high-end pickup truck model with good practicality, quality and good looks under the Great Wall, the Great Wall Cannon can be said to be quite popular, so it is not surprising to see it in the countryside. At the same time, the Haval H6 is also often seen on rural streets, and there is more than one.
This year, the editors also found that many people at home have bought electric vehicles such as NIO ES6, NIO EC6, Xpeng P7, and Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. The author guesses that the reason why they choose pure electric vehicles can be divided into two situations, one is to enrich the car experience, such consumers already have a number of traditional fuel vehicles at home, and now they want to get a different car experience, and the new power models are different from traditional fuel vehicles in terms of car experience and service, so they chose NIO and Xpeng models. The other is just want to travel for a short distance in the city, commute to work, pick up and drop off children, etc., so choose Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, the price of this car is close to the people, and there are new energy vehicle subsidies in rural areas, and the threshold for buying a car is very low. Although the construction of charging piles in rural areas is not as good as in first-tier cities, and there are not many public charging piles, users who buy new power models such as NIO and Xpeng usually have their own shops or factories that can install private charging piles. The users who choose the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV model often live in urban villages, so consumers will not have anxiety about battery life and energy replenishment when they choose pure electric vehicles. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, pure electric vehicles have better performance in terms of driving quietness, power output smoothness, and vehicle cost, which will increase consumers' favorability towards pure electric vehicles. Nowadays, the happiness index of life in small counties and rural areas is very high. Housing prices here are not high, and there is not much pressure for many people to buy a house, so many people are willing to spend and buy high-end models. However, as the congestion in small counties and rural areas becomes more serious during the Spring Festival, it also shows that there is still a lot of room for improvement in road construction. It is not only necessary to rely on the help of the first, but also on the joint efforts of people to minimize the occupation of the road and abide by the traffic rules, and only by doing so can we effectively improve our travel environment. On the way home is the New Year
