is a high-performance version of the Civic . The Civic Type R has many fans in China. Unfortunately, the car has not been introduced. What is waiting is the hatchback version of the Civic that looks quite similar to the Type R. However, regarding the introduction of the car, it seems that Dongfeng Honda has given a reply. Recently, Zheng Chunkai, executive deputy general manager of Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., said that in the future, according to the needs of the Chinese market, the introduction of models expected by users will not disappoint consumers.
Seeing this, I believe that many Type R performance fans can't help but cheer, but before that I want to pour cold water and talk about me with two questions The domestic view of the introduction of the car.
1. Does it really have a market?
It is true that the Internet about the Civic Type R is very popular, and many people have expressed interest in it and will consider buying it if it is introduced, but will it really be the case? Speaking of this, I have to talk about Mazda. As we all know, Mazda also has a lot of fans in China, especially its rotary engine and compression ignition engine, which has always been cared about by car fans. However, when the latter enters the domestic market, its performance can only be described in general. It is reported that since the guide price of the compression ignition version of reached 189,900, the dealer said that few people would choose the compression ignition version.
It is not difficult to see that even the Mazda Compression Ignition model that is quite popular on the Internet, due to the price, the actual sales are not as good as expected, not to mention those at higher prices. Expensive small steel cannon. So from the overall performance of China’s automobile consumer market,Cost-effectiveness is still the current mainstream trend of Chinese cars. It is worth mentioning that Honda has proved this for us. Once the new Accord was released in China, it was criticized for not using the same 2.0T+10AT combination as in North America. However, it is precisely because of the 1.5T+CVT combination that the lower price has been exchanged for the current price. Such a high sales situation.
1. How much does it cost?
After talking about the market, let's take a look at the price of the car. Take the North American market as an example. The MSRP of Civic Type in North America is 37895 and 43995 US dollars, which is approximately RMB 244,700 and 284,100. Of course, if it can be imported into China in the future, the actual price will be at least twice the price. In addition, Honda will definitely take into account the market situation, so each dealer's quota will not be too much, which means that the terminal will definitely have a price increase or mandatory installation. In this context, the actual car purchase price is likely to be more likely.
So if we hold a similar budget, what car model can we buy? The answer is Audi RS3 , Mercedes-Benz AMG A45 and BMW M2 . In addition, like Volkswagen Golf R and Ford Focus RS are in the range of options. So, when you hold a budget of about 500,000 to 600,000, will you waver in the face of these three BBA models?
Based on the above two points, although the Civic Type R may be introduced into China by Dongfeng Honda, don’t be too excited.Because there are still two problems. First of all, the problem of fewer quotas means that it may not be so easy to buy; second, the price problem will probably persuade many people, even if someone wants to buy a steel gun, they have to face the three major temptations of BBA. Of course, Honda is not like Mazda, because it does not have too many concerns about survival. Even if the Civic Type R sales are average, it will not hurt Honda. As for when the car will be introduced, let us wait and see.
