No matter how hard Great Wall Motors, Geely Motors, Changan Automobile, and Chery Automobile blow their own hybrid models, it is estimated that they will have to pull their crotches in the face of BYD's absolute cost advantage. The car store asked a sentence "Do you buy more than 130,000 BYD DM-i, or buy more than 160,000 Great Wall DHTs, or buy more than 170,000 Geely Thor hybrids, or will buy more than 170,000 Changan iDDs", this is a simple can not be in the simple multiple choice questions!
Because several other car companies are still more SUV-based, so let's compare the lowest price of each hybrid model, and after reading the price, we will know why BYD is dismissive of the hybridization of these independent brands.
At present, the Great Wall only has a WEY brand with plug-and-mix models, the cheapest is the Macchiato PHEV, but the starting price has also reached 166,800. Geely's brand has not yet inserted a hybrid model, only one to open the pre-sale Star-Vietnam L Thor Hybrid Edition, with a pre-price of 173,700. The first hybrid model of Changan Automobile, Changan UNI-K iDD, recently has a pre-price of 176,900 yuan. And BYD's cheapest BYD Song Pro DM-i starts at only 134,800, and the car store asks you who do you choose if it is you?
This year 2022 will be the year when independent brands have the most pure electric and hybrid models, if the newly listed models such as Changan, Geely, Great Wall, and Chery cannot control the cost well, it is estimated that in the market, BYD can only watch the market sweep.
So the question is, who do you think can first pull down the price of hybrid models and run with BYD?
