Introduction: I still remember that in the past few years, joint venture brands such as Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Volkswagen are still the main force in the automobile market, and models like Lingpai, Xiangyu and Tiida in the past are still selling well. Today we will "recall" the Xia Lingpai, which was very powerful in the past, but today it sells single-digit A-class sedans every month.
When did Lingpai start to decline, looking at the sales record, it goes back to November 2020, this month seems to be the last time Lingpai sold more than 10,000 units, coming to 10,202 units, and then although there are also 8000+, 7000+, 6000+ units, etc., but it has nothing to do with 10,000 units per month. (Wholesale volume data)
Looking at the wholesale data in recent months, it was 42 units in March, 2 units in April, 2 units in May, and retail sales of 48, 37 and 43 units, which is really bleak.
Speaking of the price, Lingpai's guide price is 119,800-169,800 yuan, and now the lowest dealer price in the country is 69,800 yuan (Zhengzhou and other regions), which is equivalent to a discount of 50,000 yuan.
As a compact family car, my biggest impression of Lingpai is its large space, with a body size of 4766/1804/1509mm and a wheelbase of 2730mm.
Not only that, but at a seemingly normal size, thanks to Honda's design concept of large space, the passenger space in the car is as large as possible, so at the same size, the rear space, especially the legroom, is much more spacious than most competitors. Of course, another highlight is that the rear center armrest can be further extended, which is more convenient to temporarily use as a small table to eat and put things.
The power part, Lingpai uses 1.0T fuel and 1.5L hybrid two systems, 1.0T is a three-cylinder, which is not a product acceptable to the public, 1.5L is a four-cylinder engine, the power performance is at home, and the fuel consumption part, 1.5L WLTC fuel consumption is 4.71L/100km, because it is a petrol-electric hybrid, it is also a normal level.
The configuration part, taking the entry-level version of the 180Turbo CVT luxury version as an example, provides keyless entry, reversing camera, 8-inch central control screen, CarLife, plastic steering wheel, imitation leather seats and other configurations, it is reasonable, and even the standard configuration of imitation leather seats made me unexpected, which seems to be better than Toyota's low configuration (generally fabric seats).
Of course, for example, the high-end configuration also provides L2 intelligent driving assistance system, seat heating and other relatively more advanced configurations.
Achuan commented on the car
For the Lingpai car, although the current price is not bad, 50,000 discounts, 69,800 starting prices, but the configuration of the low-profile version is obviously not enough in front of the new energy brand models of the same level, and the 1.0T L3 engine is also a disadvantage; Although a hybrid is provided, the gasoline-electric hybrid, which cannot be charged and does not have a green card, is not an advantage today. To sum up, this model is gradually fading out of the consumer's field of vision, which is also very understandable. (Text/Shen)
