AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/16 Report--

In order to meet consumer demand, Mercedes-Benz is about to launch a four-cylinder 2.0T power Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle in the Chinese market. Not long ago, the domestic real car map has been exposed and named the "G350" model, which further confirms the news that the car is in mass production. In addition to the big power adjustment, Chinese consumers are more concerned about the listing price. After all, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a very high-profile "off-road car".

Although the entry-level four-cylinder 2.0T Mercedes-Benz G350 has significantly reduced its power configuration, it is expected that the official guided price of the car is not low, and because of the high degree of heat in the market, it is likely to continue the status quo of Mercedes-Benz G-class price increase sales. at the initial stage, the possibility of raising the car at a flat price is almost zero. This is not, the domestic car dealers quoted prices, millions of big G dream broken.

According to news released by several automakers, the Mercedes-Benz G350 will be on the market with an official guidance price of 1.428 million yuan, and the first batch of China National 6 models are expected to arrive in September. At the same time, the amount of price increase by the car dealers also confirmed that the price increase per car at the initial stage was 558000 yuan. It means that the final offer of the Mercedes-Benz G350 is close to 2 million yuan.

Many netizens think that if the price of 2.0T Mercedes-Benz G350 is obviously not too sincere. As a reference, the current Mercedes-Benz G500 model with 4.0T V8 engine, the official guiding price is 162.88-1.8988 million yuan, and the new car terminal price increase, landing more than 2.2 million yuan. By contrast, although the price of the Mercedes-Benz G350 quoted by the automaker has been controlled below the threshold of 1.469 million luxury car consumption tax (including VAT), it is only 200000 yuan different from the starting price of the G500, which makes it difficult for consumers to understand.

From the domestic exposure of Mercedes-Benz G350 real car picture, the new car continues the G-class off-road vehicle vintage square box shape, domineering and burly image is still the same. There is no obvious difference in appearance between the G500 model and the G500 model on sale. The front of the car uses a three-spoke hollowed-out grille, which also retains the classic round headlights, engine hatch turn signal, mechanical door handle and so on. The wheel rim shape is also the same as the ordinary version of the G500. As the new car uses a smaller 2.0T engine, the side of the body lacks the "V8" logo, and the tail mark is changed to "G 350", which is the most obvious sign of the car's identity.

In terms of interior decoration, the Mercedes-Benz G350 still uses a large penetrating screen composed of dual 12.3-inch displays. It can also be seen from the picture that the G350 will continue to be equipped with three differential locks, which means that the off-road configuration at the core of the car should be retained, not reduced just because the G350 is an entry-level model.

In terms of power, the new car uses a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 190KW (258hp) and a maximum torque of 370Nm. The transmission system will match the 9-speed manual transmission, which can accelerate 100 kilometers for 8 seconds.

Some netizens think, "people who buy this car are not cross-country, two are not power, as long as the appearance remains the same, the three locks are still there, although the emission is down, the price is also down, so that those who like it can struggle hundreds of thousands less!" Why not? "

Some netizens sighed, "those who have feelings may not be able to afford it, and those who have no feelings feel that it is of no grade!" A good hard SUV has been polished into a city SUV by money! "

In the eyes of many consumers, the power configuration of the four-cylinder 2.0T is indeed inconsistent with the image of a Mercedes-Benz G-class off-road vehicle as a burly and powerful off-road vehicle, but it may also be justifiable behavior driven by more factors such as interests. The launch of the Mercedes-Benz G350 has already caused more controversy, but the final price may be even more controversial.
