Recently, "2017-2019" suddenly became popular, and many netizens posted a comparison between two years ago and now on social platforms. However, some netizens gave a price comparison of Prado before and after two years, "New car 450000, second-hand 500000". Although Prado is famous for preserving the value of used cars in the market, why has it gone up?

Prado, as a large hardline off-road SUV in Toyota's positioning, has always had a good reputation and sales, brand strength and product strength are very strong. Statistics show that its three-year value preservation rate can reach 66%. It is also the top value preservation rate in SUV models, and there will be a lot of people in favor of new or used cars. But now it turns out that the price of used Prado is indeed higher than that of new cars.

As for the main reason is that the new domestic Prado car is about to "disappear". As early as November last year, the newly listed domestic Prado stopped production of 2.7L engine models and priced the new model at 46.48ml-636800, while the original Prado started at 369800, and this price adjustment is precisely due to the cancellation of 2.7L models and only 3.5L models are on sale.

However, in April this year, another "Sichuan FAW Toyota production AVALON model project environmental impact report (referred to as the" report ") document was exposed.

Under the influence of national six emission regulations, Prado 3.5L products will be discontinued in June 2020, according to the report. In other words, the 3.5L model domestic Prado will also face suspension of sale, since then there is no domestic Prado.

From July 1 this year, many places across the country will uniformly implement the sixth national emission standard. Compared with the "national five standards", the "national sixth standard" is more stringent. For example, light vehicles have increased the emission limits of carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, non-methane total hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and particulates by about 30% and 50%, which are intended to significantly reduce pollutant emissions and reduce oil and gas volatilization.

With the launch of the sixth grade, the elimination of old cars in China will also begin to accelerate, and many car companies are already feeling the pressure in the face of the growing pressure of the sixth national sixth, not to mention "old cars" like Prado.

Not only domestic Prado, but consumers who want to buy parallel imported Prado will also be restricted. at the same time, "American, European, plus, and ink versions" models will also be subject to strict environmental inspection, according to insiders. Such strict testing will lead to many models "few and difficult to enter customs", and even if some models meet the requirements, they will not be able to be licensed normally in the local DMV.

In Toyota Prado, which already has a high protection of value, in the face of the imminent suspension of domestic sales and the restrictions of parallel imports, Prado has obviously become more rare, and second-hand prices have risen instead of falling. Prado is an excellent "financial product".
