Chapter Ninety-Six: Urban SUV

Thanks to the frog in the bottle, Zhexiao, lingleng0741 for the tip......

In the face of consumers of this age, Jin Xiaoqiang is a little worried, his eighth-generation Sonata model, for them, is a bit too avant-garde.

You must know that consumers of this age have always liked the appearance of models with a more mediocre appearance and atmosphere, so Jin Xiaoqiang plans to copy off Skoda Octavia's models to please this part of consumers.

As far as the Skoda Octavia model is concerned, this model is relatively modest, simple, stocky and short body, exuding a rich atmosphere, and its shape design is more suitable for consumers between the ages of 30 and 50.

And this model has been a best-selling product in the market of the Celestial Empire in the next few years, although the reputation is not as loud as Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, and Audi, but it also has its own fixed part of the consumer group.

After all, his appearance looks more vigorous and modest, and his configuration is more practical, and it has everything that the mid-range model has, which also provides him with good conditions for shaping his reputation in the market.

And generally those who are between the ages of thirty and fifty before consumers, they generally belong to the old drivers, belong to the kind of drivers who understand the car, they pay attention to the quality of a car, more about the powertrain, speed, fuel consumption, and various safety configurations of the car, and the shape for them, but in the second consideration.

And some consumers must choose the more low-key models because of their own work, such as civil servants, etc., so relative to these consumers, Jin Xiaoqiang feels that it is completely necessary for him to design the shape of the Skoda Octavia.

And the car to be honest, can not be said to be good-looking, but also can never be said ugly, with the mean to describe him is really just right, just to meet the hearts of a large part of consumers.

Another model he is preparing to copycat is an SUV, which will currently produce a variety of products, which is already a trick used by major car manufacturers.

The concept of this SUV originated with Toyota's RAV4, when Toyota developed this car, mainly for the American market, which has always been the world's largest consumer of cars.

As the birthplace of automobile culture in the world, the understanding and perception of automobile culture in the United States are different from those in the world.

Americans like big cars, and because the dollar is the world's currency, and they have a monopoly on the oil field production of the world's most important oil-producing countries, they don't care about fuel consumption at all, they only care about whether it is luxurious and comfortable.

So the concept of urban SUV was born, Toyota's RAV4 was an instant hit in the US market, and then Honda also launched its own urban SUV, which is the famous CRV.

And it didn't take long for the Honda CRV to become the most popular urban SUV in the world, and its sales have been ahead of Toyota's RAV4 in recent years.

In the current Celestial Empire market, except for real off-road vehicles, there is basically a blank in the urban SUV, and no domestic manufacturers compete with Toyota or Honda in this area.

As a result, this market has basically become a racetrack for Toyota and Honda, although South Korea also has some urban SUV models imported into China, but unfortunately the current SUV model design of Korean cars is really unpleasant, so it is not very popular.

Although there are Changfeng Cheetahs in China, off-road vehicle manufacturers are producing SUVs, but they are producing real hard-core SUVs, not urban versions of SUV models, so in terms of driving comfort, and the surname of the control are not comparable with Toyota Honda.

Therefore, for so many years, Toyota and Honda have competed for hegemony in the urban SUV market of the Celestial Empire.

At present, these two cars are pure imported models for the Celestial Empire market, and Toyota's RAV4 was not localized until 2009, and at present, it has not been introduced to the Celestial Empire at all.

Even if you see such a model on the street, if it is not a smuggled car, then it is a purely imported original car, and the price of the car is even more expensive after several twists and turns.

This car was introduced to the Celestial Empire in 06, when it entered the Celestial Empire market as an imported car, and the price at that time reached an astonishing 350,000.

The Honda CRV is even more outrageous, this car is also not introduced to the Celestial Empire now, this car entered the Celestial Empire market in 07, and the price at that time was more than 250,000.

This price actually aroused the popularity among consumers, Honda saw that the situation was good, and actually began to sit on the ground to start the price, generally increasing the price by 1-20,000 yuan, and even later, simply increasing the price by 30,000 yuan, and waiting for five months to pick up the car.

In time, it was such a harsh condition, but the consumers of the Celestial Empire, who were like crazy demons, actually paid for it, and as a result, this car bought 600,000 units in a few years in the Celestial Empire, which helped him earn full military expenses and go to seize the Diaoyu Islands......

At that time, whenever he recalled these experiences, Jin Xiaoqiang was heartbroken.

Fuck, now that Lao Tzu is back and still in the car-making industry, don't think about it with your bullshit RAV4 and CRV......

Aren't you playing hunger sales, okay, Lao Tzu will mess up your good deeds, let you extort the pockets of our Celestial Empire, and don't treat us as human beings.

Jin Xiaoqiang is ruthless, and the model he plans to copycat this time will also come to the modern of the future.

Although Jin Xiaoqiang didn't have a good impression of Koreans and Korean cars, he had to pay tribute to Koreans in car building, especially in the shape design of cars.

For example, ten years later, Hyundai launched the ix35 urban SUV, and you have to admit that it was definitely a success.

You must know that it is the emergence of this car that has made the Celestial Empire urban SUV market, the situation of the dominance of the car family has been broken, and the final result is to attract the German system, and independent brands have joined the battle group, and in the end it is the consumers of the Celestial Empire who have benefited, and the most injured are some of the Celestial Empire's own brand car companies......

If you tell the truth, Hyundai's ix35 car can be said to be really bad in terms of powertrain, especially in terms of engine, after the launch, it was once rumored that when the speed of this car ran at high speed, it was even difficult to increase to a speed of 120 yards per hour.

There is another criticism that is the common problem of Korean cars, that is, their chassis is very unstable when driving at high speeds.

However, after this car was launched in the Celestial Empire market, it was still a big seller, and the main reason was his streamlined shape with a sense of technology.

And those engines, as well as chassis and other problems, of course, are not a problem for Jin Xiaoqiang, what he has to do now is to directly copy this model.

He didn't have a good impression of Koreans, so he didn't want the kind of Korean cars to make money in the mainland market in the future.

So he has done what is going on the modern road and making the modern world have no way out.

And the most important thing is that in the current urban SUV market in the Celestial Empire, there is still a blank, just this year after the Great Wall Motors listed in Hong Kong, announced that it began to shift the company's main business from pickup trucks to SUVs, and Ricky Motors also announced that it will launch an SUV model next year.

And 2003 can be said to be the first year of the opening of the Celestial Empire SUV market, and in this year, many car companies have announced that they want to enter the SUV market.

However, Jin Xiaoqiang is not worried, the Great Wall launched the later famous H series, it will be two years later, and the famous Ricky's Tiggo series, in fact, the real time on the market is also in 06.

And this gives yourself two years to occupy the market, you must know that currently in the Celestial Empire, the real ability, the drawings quickly into reality of the car companies, in addition to those foreign companies, or joint venture brands, I am afraid that there is only themselves.

Now we must seize the current market gap, to occupy the market as much as possible to establish a reputation, once the reputation is erected, those latecomers want to catch up and surpass themselves, it will be difficult.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the concept of SUV cars for Celestial Empire consumers is still in the concept stage of Cherokee, Yanjing Jeep, or Changfeng Cheetah, or Toyota's Land Cruiser and so on.

There is no clear understanding of the concept of urban SUVs, so this is a good time to seize the market.

As for the shape of the ix35, whether it can be accepted by consumers, Jin Xiaoqiang is not worried at all, from the sales of 7000 to 10000 units per month of this car in later generations, as well as his ability to compete with Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV, it can be seen that as long as it is made, it will not be sold in the Celestial Empire.

Thinking of this, Jin Xiaoqiang's surname immediately started to draw drawings, Skoda Octavia This car Jin Xiaoqiang is very familiar with, he has disassembled and assembled this car countless times, repaired countless times, and he has long been familiar with the parameters of the model body.

And Hyundai's ix35, for Jin Xiaoqiang, is the same, although he has not disassembled the engine of that car, but the body shape and parameters, he is also familiar with the chest, after all, he saved so many car magazines in his last life, but they were not bought for nothing.

As an acquired technical controller, Jin Xiaoqiang at that time was suspected of going crazy with the technology and data of the car, and most of his income every month was spent on expensive car magazines in addition to living and paying rent.

At that time, the world's major famous car manufacturers or domestic independent brand enterprises, every time a new model was launched, he would buy a magazine published in it for research, or search on the Internet and then research.

So those data, but it is difficult for Jin Xiaoqiang, not to mention that this car was originally a derivative of the eighth generation of Sonata......

As was the case with the previous development of the Nasonata 8th generation, he believes that he will be able to complete the drawings of the two models in just ten days.
