The real hammer is made in China: I believe everyone has been screened by the news released by the official map of the domestic BMW X5 long wheelbase version these days. The key point is that the wheelbase of the domestic BMW X5 is longer than that of the imported version by 130mm, and the exterior interior design is basically the same as that of the imported version, continuing the power combination of 2.0T/3.0T+8AT.
At present, the price of the imported BMW X5 is 699.9-839.9 million. It is expected that the starting price of the domestic version will drop to less than 600,000. At that time, it is expected to form a price advantage for Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7, two old rivals that are still imported, and further seize the medium and large SUV market that originally belonged to second-tier luxury brands such as Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, Lexus RX and Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition.
If the imported Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7 can still compete with the domestic version of BMW X5 with their brand added value and large base, then the products of second-tier luxury brands will either lose their original price advantage, or the brand recognition will not be dominant, or the gap in the rear row will be narrowed, which is expected to be difficult to resist the "dimension reduction blow" of the domestic version of BMW X5.
It can be said that under the premise that the imported version of BMW X5 with higher price has been so popular with high-end consumers, the domestic X5 long wheelbase version will have a bright future sales prospect after filling the short board in the rear space. As for whether the price will increase after listing, it's hard to say!
It is expected to be domestically produced: the news that Nissan Pathfinder is domestically produced has been "exploded" since the parallel import of the previous generation, and the domestic patent map of this generation has also been exposed not long ago. The car was originally a three-row medium and large SUV developed by Nissan for the North American market. The main rival is Toyota Highlander, but the size of Pathfinder is larger than half a circle.
In fact, this generation of Nissan Pathfinder and the domestic version of finidi QX60, which just came on the market not long ago, are twin cars on the same platform. Therefore, under the premise that the production conditions are ready, the domestic market has a great demand for three-row urban SUVs, and Dongfeng Nissan's product sequence lacks such a corresponding model, this generation of Nissan Pathfinder is likely to be introduced to China, equipped with the same 2.0T+9AT power combination as the luxury brand cousin.
As for whether Nissan Pathfinder can become a "Highlander Black Boy" after being made in China, from the perspective of space comfort, Pathfinder has this ability, but it is at a disadvantage in the following two aspects. One is the popularity and reputation of the model, which I don't need to explain; The second is to save fuel. After all, all new Highlanders are hybrid, while Pathfinder is currently pure fuel. At present, users of large-size SUVs have paid more and more attention to low fuel consumption.
In addition, even if Nissan Pathfinder is made in China, its potential users have to face the temptation of price reduction of second-tier luxury SUVs such as Cadillac XT6, and compare with established models such as Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Touran. There are high-cost and large-size SUVs with independent brands such as GAC Chuanqi GS8, and the "war situation" is not sinister. If it is made in China, a sincere price must be cheaper than Highlander, which is too important for its sales.
It is rumored that Volvo XC90 Volvo XC90 is made in China. This news has also been hyped for many years. Judging from the relationship between Volvo and Geely, even high-end personalized models such as Million Polar Star 1 dare to be made in China, so it is not a question of whether XC90 is made in China or not, but a question of willingness or unwillingness.
