Looking back on the past, many friends have chosen the right car through the real car evaluation and new car information of my car. Entering 2024, if you want to buy a car you like, be a smart consumer, remember the following "three nos" principle, and you will be more sure of choosing a car!
Don't buy a car that isn't smart
As automobiles enter the era of intelligence, from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, from less than 100,000 to millions of luxury cars, intelligent configuration has become a major trend. The most surprising thing is that smart cars have dropped to less than 100,000 yuan, and the threshold for entry is really not high. Most of the so-called smart cars contain two major aspects, one is the intelligent cockpit, which is fully intelligent from the car machine and voice control. The second is intelligent driving, from L2 intelligent assisted driving to L2+ intelligent assisted driving that can cover high-speed and urban roads, which is becoming more and more popular.
Take an ordinary family car as an example, you can use voice to control the functions in the car, you can realize the seamless connection between the car machine and the mobile phone, and you can complete the function of automatic cruise with the car, which can be regarded as a "smart car". With the further development of smart cars, many vehicles can also be upgraded to OTA like mobile phones, and the functional configuration in the car is constantly upgraded. There are also some models with a higher level of intelligent driving, which can basically be "unmanned" and only need to take over the vehicle in an emergency. Of course, this kind of more intelligent car, the experience threshold and ** aspects are also rising, everyone does what they can, and there is no need to force "get in the car".
On the whole, an unintelligent car is like an "old man's machine", compared with the popular smart car, its lack of function and the difference in experience are completely the product of two eras. If you want to experience the latest achievements in automotive technology, Brother Yu recommends choosing a smart car, which will have great surprises in terms of convenience and sense of technology.
Don't buy a car that is not a "big factory"!
In the past few years, with the rise of new car manufacturers, many new brands have sprung up. For example, people are now familiar with "Wei Xiaoli", as well as Nezha Automobile, Leapmotor Automobile, etc. In addition, there are some new brands that are the "second generation" of traditional car companies, such as VOYAH Automobile, GAC Aion, Zhiji Automobile, ZEEKR and so on
The outbreak of new energy vehicles has brought opportunities for the development of new brands, and many new car-making forces have crossed the annual sales of 100,000 vehicles, and their performance in new energy vehicles is even better than that of traditional car companies. But the fruits of victory only belong to a few people, and after several years of development, some brands are in jeopardy, or even directly eliminated.
This also means that some users who have purchased a new brand car are likely to face the dilemma of having no after-sales service after the brand is delisted, and the vehicle's warranty promises cannot be fulfilled. Just like the recent uproar of Gaohe Automobile, as well as the previous WM Motor, Sailin Automobile, etc., the owners without exception have fallen into a passive situation.
Although many new energy vehicles have launched a lifetime warranty service for batteries, if the car brand goes out of business after a few years, the warranty is impossible. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when buying a car, and it is important to choose a car brand. Relatively speaking, the new energy sub-brands created by traditional car companies will be more secure, after all, there are large factories behind them, the quality of car manufacturing is relatively assured, and the car manufacturing funds are sufficient, and it is not easy to start a business "halfway collapse".
Don't buy a car that isn't cheap
As we all know, due to the fierce competition in the automobile market, the number of cars has decreased significantly in the past two years. In the past, the hot-selling joint venture oil cars that needed to increase the price to buy now generally have a discount of 2-30,000 yuan, and some luxury cars have a drop of up to 100,000 yuan. Price reduction is the main theme of the current car market, and it is also the moment when the buyer grasps the initiative.
With the rapid decline of key components such as batteries, most of the pure electric vehicles listed in 2023 have taken the initiative to reduce their competitiveness in exchange for higher competitiveness. For example, Xpeng G9, Tesla Model 3 and other models have experienced a new round of price cuts.
Based on the current situation of auto market sales, the law of early buying and early enjoyment has failed, and the situation of "waiting for the party" to win is more common. Especially in the era of intelligent new energy vehicles, the speed of technology iteration has become faster, and it is more cost-effective to buy a car later. For example, in 2023, many car companies will launch new vehicles equipped with 800V technology, which is a new trend. The 800V new car charges faster, which greatly reduces the anxiety of battery life, and there is not much difference between starting ** and before, and buying a car later is really earned.
Therefore, Brother Yu suggested that if you have a favorite vehicle, you might as well wait, there is a great chance to squat to the right ** and higher configuration models.
For most Chinese people, buying a car is a big deal. It is not easy to choose a car, the key is to pass the quality test, the best is suitable, and it must be in line with the eye. The above "three noes" are for reference only, and in practice, we should compare them in many ways, and do not consume impulsively. Coming to 2024, I wish everyone can be a smart car consumer and not be a "leek" in the car market.
