Geely’s announcement of the development of a mid-range car and the impossibility of launching a beautiful leopard are not difficult to understand. The reason is that the concept of consumers has changed. One is no longer to meet a car, but want a decent car; Second, cars are also considered large items for ordinary families, not to say that you want to throw to throw, buy a natural buy can hold up in the market for a long time The third is that the concept of credit is gradually becoming popular and can be used to buy a better car with the same money. Why not? Fourth, people who buy a car for the second time can no longer buy micro-cars. The transitional nature of micro-cars is difficult to avoid. In addition, it is not ruled out that urban traffic congestion may lead to concerns about displacement restrictions, in fact, many cities have, vanity compares psychological effects, used car market is active, few people buy used micro-cars and other factors. The sudden emergence of mid-range cars compared with the mini-vehicles, mid-range cars in 2003 was a sudden rise, the performance is extremely active. The most active market and increasing consumer concern is the high-end cars. According to the latest survey report from CBC, a Chinese market research firm, 45% of the five major cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu indicate that they will purchase new cars in the next two to three years; 22% of them want to buy 100,000.

Su Hui, general manager of the Beijing Asian Games Village Automotive Trading Market, said that the market is enthusiastic and most of the tight sales are in high-end cars. "Online market" statistics show that the online click-through rate of mid- to high-end models accounts for more than 60% of the total click-through rate, and continues to rise. From the perspective of market sales, Beijing Hyundai Sonata, Shanghai Buick Excelle, FAW Red Flag, Bora, Golf, Vios, China Morning Breeze, Hainan Mazda Fairfax, Dongfeng Citroen Saina, Dongfeng Nissan Sunshine, and Chery Eastar are priced at 13-18.

The top Bentley, which was specially made by Mr. Sabbath's birthday and was worth nearly 10 million yuan, was snapped up in Beijing. Even when many auto giants visited China, they could not understand. According to professional analysis, the increase in mid-to-high-end cars is not only related to the promotion of consumerism, but also to the lavish propaganda of manufacturers. It seems that high-end cars have become synonymous with warm families and successful men. The most fundamental reason is huge profit margins. Manufacturers are happy. In 2004, the new car will launch the mid-range car will play the protagonist According to the annual plan announced by the auto manufacturers, in 2004 there will be nearly 50 new models launched in the Chinese market. Toyota Motor Corporation announced that in March 2004, Tianjin Toyota and Vios will jointly produce Toyota Corolla, with a displacement of 1.5 to 2.0 liters and an annual output of 40,000 vehicles, which is expected to sell for 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. “Given the huge potential for development in the Chinese automotive market, Nissan and Dongfeng’s joint venture will invest in China into almost all new models ranging from small cars to large vehicles.” Nissan President Carlos Ghosn’s plan for China’s new Dongfeng in the next three years Then enter 6 Nissan cars.

Car manufacturers get together and put in mid-range cars, but at present, the domestic auto market has started to shift to the buyer's market, plus the background of abolishing the quota limit for imported cars in 2005. It is not difficult to predict that there will be some fierce competition in the mid-range car next year. In 2004, in addition to the entire vehicle market, the fierce competition will extend to the upper and lower reaches of the automotive industry. The fierce competition between multinationals and local companies in the automotive steel, oil, and financial markets will affect the Chinese auto industry. Development has far-reaching implications.
