If an aesthetic competition is held for the 250cc pedal, the most uncomfortable model in the competition is the European scooter, or if we are more blunt, the model that is most easily criticized by everyone must be the Piaggio X7, because the appearance of the X7 is too retro, too unique, and too European.
If you don’t know this car, you may think that the appearance is actually good, it is very flexible as a European scooter. At first I also thought the appearance of the X7 was good, until I saw such a picture, when I associated the X7 with people. I can't get back to my impression of this car.
This is the most human-like motorcycle I have ever seen...
However, we really cannot complain too much about the appearance of X7. After all, X7 was born in 2007 and has a history of 15 years. At that time, the appearance of X7 was not only not old-fashioned, but also a bit advanced and agile. In the early years, the main competitors of X7 were emerging scooter manufacturers such as Dalin. With the aperture of , Piaggio , the sales of X7 were still very good at the beginning of its launch.
Piaggio is in Europe, just like Hojue in China, there is no doubt about brand power.
Although the brand power is strong, the lifeline of X7 in Europe is not very long. Its sparse production ended in 2012 with a scattered production. What if you ask the reason? In fact, Piaggio himself couldn't explain it clearly.
However, according to the evaluation of foreign car owners, there are two main reasons for the demise of X7 in Europe.
First of all, Biagio's own product line is a bit confusing. There is also X8 on X7 and X9 on X8. These brothers and brothers have some of them to fight themselves after selling, occupying the market with each other, and consumers are not sure what they should buy.
Secondly, because the size of X7 is a bit "small" for Europeans. It is small and flexible and it doesn't matter whether it is wide or comfortable.
After such a round of tossing, the X7 was hidden by Biagio. It was not until 9 years later that X7 was launched in the domestic market again under the Zongshen Biagio.
In March 2021, Zongshen Biagio officially released the X7, priced at 19,980 yuan.
In the days before the price was released after the spy photos were leaked, X7 was difficult, and Zongshen Biaggio's staff were also difficult, because domestic car owners' evaluations of this car were surprisingly consistent - X7 was too unique, and it was difficult for us to accept. However, after the price of X7 was released, domestic car enthusiasts' evaluation of this car changed a lot - the retro pedal style, the X7 is really fragrant!
Yes, X7 is the only 250cc joint venture scooter in China that gives you ABS+ASR at a price of 20,000 yuan.
Parameter configuration:
X7 was first released, and its configuration matching was extremely generous. The engine uses the same SR MAX 250 engine, a single-cylinder water-cooled four-valve, is equipped with Marelli's electronic injection system , with a maximum power of 15.6kw/8500rpm, and a maximum torque of 221nm/6500rpm.
size, the seat height of 760mm, the width of 745mm, and the wheelbase of 1480mm are more friendly to domestic height, so foreigners think that this car is small.
brakes X7 is equipped with front opposite four-piston calipers and rear single-way dual-piston calipers. This brake is equipped with a joint venture pedal of less than 20,000 yuan. It is also equipped with a dual-channel Bosch ABS, plus the ASR anti-slip system developed by Zongshenbiagio himself. These things are not available in the X7 released in 2007, and are not available in other scooters at the same price. What's more, the X7 is also equipped with a chip key and KYB shock absorption system, and the X7's true fragrance has been heard all the time.
But X7 has only been popular for a few months. X7 in the second half of 2021 is like the eggplant caused by frost - it has become wilted and waxing, and it seems that the people no longer need it. What happened to
? What made the cost-effective X7 suddenly lose its market competitiveness?
is mainly made, X7 made it himself...
was originally all right when it was launched, but the mysterious operation of Zongshenbiagio made everyone lose patience and expectations for X7 again and again.
Event 1: chip key reduction
internal reason is that X7's order is too crazy, which exceeds Biaggio's own prediction of this matter. It has insufficient stocking, insufficient chips, and delivery progress cannot keep up with the progress of canceling the order. Biaggio himself is also very anxious.
external reason is that the chip is really not enough. I don’t know if you still remember the chip crisis last year. The Spring Breeze 800MT of the same year also suspended the release of the keyless startup version, and Benda and Kaiyue successively postponed delivery.
So X7 simply canceled the chip key, instead the price was reduced by 100 yuan, and the retail price became 19,880 yuan. At this moment, consumers are still buying it. After all, the chip key is not very meaningful. You will lose the car or you will lose it. Everyone has no emotions about it. It’s just that consumers’ concessions may prompt Biaggio to take the second step, an action that is relatively unacceptable to everyone.
Event 2: Bosch ABS is gone
ah, is it a surprise or not? Accident or not? The Bosch ABS is gone, but the vehicle price has not changed further and it still maintains the original price. This move completely aroused public anger. Why did the price of ABS be reduced but the price remains unchanged? Where did your conscience go, Zongshenbiagio?
As an insider, the quality of this matter is actually hard to say. If you compare the X7 equipped with Saif ABS and the X7 equipped with Bosch ABS at the same time, you may find that the braking distance of everyone has not changed much, but Saif's brand power is indeed not as strong as the Bosch . Consumers can accept that you upgrade from Saif to Bosch - exceeding everyone's psychological expectations, but cannot accept that you have changed from Bosch to Saif - which does not meet everyone's psychological expectations.
This is the same as when you bargaining. A motorcycle worth 700 yuan has a price of 1,000 yuan, and you bargain and get 700 yuan. You will feel that it is worth it, even if it is worth 700 yuan.
And a motorcycle worth 700 yuan is priced at 700 yuan. If you bargain, the other party won’t give in. Even if it is worth so much, you will not have the desire to buy it.
Psychological expectations are so important. Shopping is not only a process of paying money, but also a process that makes people feel comfortable.
So X7 is no longer fragrant. Even though it still has strong competitiveness, in the expectations of car owners, it is no longer the car that was so fragrant that it was back then. What's more, Zongshen Biaggio has its own tricks, such as reducing the matching and not reducing the price. Bosch ABS and Saif ABS are not bad at all, but you need to increase the price when buying a different and sitting at a high X7...
After these repeated mysteries, the hardcore fans of X7 "bearable" to pick up the car and start facing a beautiful new life. Users who have complaints about X7 are disappointed with x7 and have changed to pick up other cars. In this way, the X7 user base is out of gear, and the first generation of magic cars will also worry about not being able to sell them.
Until August 2021, Zongshen Biagio also felt that he could not do this anymore. We must catch the user's psychological expectations! Biagio took the opportunity to launch the X7 Yaoye version, which is about to regain users' psychological expectations. The biggest change in Yaoye version compared to the ordinary version is that the official tells you directly that the chip key is gone and the Bosch ABS is gone. However, Biagio provides everyone with 6 installments of interest-free, as well as services that are no longer charged separately, which can be regarded as saving a group of user groups.
You may be curious to see this, why is Biagio so stupid and would rather release a new model than reduce the price of the car? Is it really not possible to reduce the price of
?
is really not good, because once Biagio lowers the price, it will be difficult for him to adjust the price back after the chip production capacity is restored. When everyone accepts a car because of the low price, any price increase will affect the sales of the vehicle. And in terms of practicality, the difference between Saifer and Bosch ABS is really not enough to constitute a reason to affect the price.
Open Xianyu, we can also find that the price of X7 is so strong that it is so strong. The price of the second-hand car of X7, which is one year old, can still maintain at 17,000/8. This is enough to show from the side that the X7 car has basically no premium. As long as you don’t mind that its ABS is provided by Saif, then the X7 is a real and truly delicious model.
Summary:
X7 is a good car? Although
is a product that has been unveiled in 2007, nowadays, the X7 is still a good car suitable for urban commuting, especially for those who like big pedals. Within 20,000 yuan, water-cooled 250, joint venture, and anti-slip, these are the advantages of the X7 and its absolute advantages.
Within a budget of 20,000 yuan, there are no other joint venture 250cc scooters for you to choose from except X7, which is also a relatively realistic problem. Who is suitable for
X7?
Practical Party, double commuter Party, safety first party, and people who have a need for 250cc scooters. In terms of transportation alone, many 150cc scooters can achieve these functions of the X7, but in terms of rear-end acceleration and extreme speed, the advantages of 250 are still incomparable to 150 scooters.
: The new X7 product has been released, and the price of 23,000 is not very good. So I will talk to you about the various details of the new X7 when I have time in the future, but I am more curious. If you are planning to buy a scooter at a price of 20,000 yuan, would you choose the new X7? Old model X7? Or something else?
