The rapid rise of domestic cars in the past two years is already an indisputable fact.
This year, the market share of independent brands exceeded 60%. According to the data of the Passenger Car Association, the market share of self-owned brand passenger cars in the first eight months of this year was 63.2%. In 2018, the share of independent car brands was just over 40%.
In 2011, China's new energy vehicle sales were less than 10,000 units (8,159 units), and in 2018, new energy vehicle sales exceeded 1 million units for the first time, and in 2021, they soared directly to 3.52 million units. In 2023, the sales of new energy vehicles in mainland China will approach 10 million units (9.495 million units), and China's auto industry will completely rely on new energy vehicles to achieve corner overtaking.
But even so, we can still see that traditional fuel vehicles, still has a very tenacious vitality, domestic new energy vehicles are not invincible, no longer invincible, from the sales data in September can be seen, although Seagull, Qin L, seal 06, these three BYD products, respectively, achieved the second to fourth place in the sales list of all car series, but the fifth place still appeared a tenacious fuel car, that is, Sylphy.
If the Qin L and Seal 06 are attributed to mid-level cars, then Sylphy is the sales champion in the compact market, which sold 33,400 units last month, surpassing a number of domestic new energy compact cars.
There are always people who can't figure it out, why Sylphy is a shortcoming, why the sales are still so good, in terms of power performance, it is really not strong, Sylphy classic 000 acceleration is more than 13 seconds, known as one of the three major mothers on the road, moving barricades.
In terms of configuration, it is not high, the low-end model is still a handbrake, no radar, no reversing image, no central control screen, fabric seats, plastic steering wheel.
On fuel consumption, although its fuel consumption is low, it is definitely higher than the plug-in hybrid model, BYD Qin L urban driving can achieve three or four liters of fuel consumption, and it is difficult for Sylphy to be less than 6 liters of fuel economy.
In terms of safety, don't expect much safety from this model, especially the Sylphy classic, which performed very badly in the test of the China Insurance Research Institute.
But ah but, existence is reasonable, we still have to look at the world with a tolerant attitude, since there are so many people still choose Xuanyi, it must be reasonable, you can't say that those who buy Xuanyi are all big wrongs, and they are people with relatively low cognition.
The biggest advantage of Sylphy is that it is cheap, the actual starting price of Sylphy Classic is only more than 60,000, which is cheaper than the 798 Qin, which is an important reason why many people choose Sylphy, cheap is the killer feature of Sylphy, basically it is a joint venture compact car, almost the cheapest.
Low fuel consumption, as I just said, is certainly not as good as domestic plug-in hybrids, but can drink 92 gasoline, but also add gasoline from private gas stations, among fuel vehicles, its fuel consumption must be low, six or seven fuels per day, and the cost of using the car is not high.
The amount of ownership is large, there are many accessories, you don't need to go to 4s after bumps, and you can repair them at the roadside store.
The stability is good, with such a large amount of Xuanyi, if the quality is pulled, then public opinion will have fermented a long time ago.
As for the shortcomings of low configuration, many people feel that they don't need much high configuration at all, just use a mobile phone for navigation, but it is not good to go to the auto parts city to change an Android central control screen, install a radar and reversing image, or how much money, it is enough.
What's more, many people buy Sylphy in line with the psychology of seeking stability or following the trend, and they still don't trust domestic plug-in hybrid models, and feel that it is more secure to choose Sylphy and there is no risk.
Maybe Sylphy's sales can last for a year and a half, only when there are a few more subversive models like Qin L, then Sylphy may really fall off the altar.
