In order to adapt to the consumption trend of the local market, many overseas brands have launched "special" models in the Chinese market, so as to meet the needs of Chinese consumers. The 2.0T four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz G350, which is popular online recently, is such a special car. When the Mercedes-Benz G350 comes on the market, some car dealers have made the news of a price increase of more than 500,000, and what will be the current real market price of the new car?

Today, Sina Weibo certified car blogger 'Beijing Yiguo' released news about the price of the Mercedes-Benz G350 model, saying that the car's current price increase is 400000 yuan, and the whole model will be landed at about 2 million yuan.

On September 6, 2020, the new Mercedes-Benz G350 was officially launched in China with an official guiding price of 1.4298 million yuan and a 2.0T four-cylinder engine. According to the news released by the automaker earlier, the price of the first Mercedes-Benz G350 increased by 52.8 yuan to 538000 yuan.

One month on the market, the price increase of the Mercedes-Benz G350 has dropped by more than 100,000, and some netizens believe that "it will soon return to rationality." However, the Mercedes-Benz G350, which is currently sold with a full price increase of 2 million, is still beyond the imagination of many consumers.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a "magic car" in the eyes of some consumers, and the market relationship that is in short supply has kept it selling at a higher price, but since the launch of the Mercedes-Benz G350 in China, online public opinion has begun to change. what is widely complained is that the place is power and price.

Compared with the G500, the most significant change of the Mercedes-Benz G350 is the engine part, from the original 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine to 2.0T four-cylinder engine, which is the same as the 2.0T four-cylinder engine carried by Beijing Mercedes-Benz GLC. With the power greatly weakened, the price of the Mercedes-Benz G350 should have dropped a lot, but in the end, the official choice to maintain a high price is also difficult for many netizens to understand.

According to the official pricing, the price of the Mercedes-Benz G500 starts at 1.6288 million yuan, while the price of the G350 is 1.4298 million yuan. The difference between the two models is less than 200000 yuan. What's more, the Mercedes-Benz G350 is a unique version of the Chinese market.

From the outside, the overall shape of the Mercedes-Benz G350 is not much different from the existing Mercedes-Benz G500, and the domineering and burly image is still the same. The new car uses a three-spoke hollowed-out grille, which also retains the classic round headlights, engine hatch turn signals, mechanical door handles, etc., and the rim shape is 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.

From the interior point of view, the overall layout is exactly the same as the current G-level, with a double screen design, no lack of iconic "three locks" and low-speed off-road buttons, and the core off-road configuration has been preserved. there is no reduction in the configuration of the four-wheel drive system because of the change in product positioning.

In the powertrain part, the G350 uses the M2642.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which has a maximum output of 258hp, a peak torque of 370Nm, matches a nine-speed manual transmission and has an official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 8 seconds.

The launch of the Mercedes-Benz G350 is more a result driven by interests. The G-Class of this generation of Mercedes-Benz has been selling briskly since its launch, and the terminal supply exceeds demand so that it has been selling at a price increase, which is usually in the hands of dealers or parallel importers. Mercedes-Benz launched the G350 model for the Chinese market, directly setting a higher guidance price, to a certain extent, Mercedes-Benz is also a measure to meet market demand and expand its own profits.

For now, the Mercedes-Benz G350 does attract consumers who don't have a sufficient budget and don't care about power performance. But more netizens are concerned about whether the market price increase of four or five hundred thousand yuan is reasonable, and perhaps after the product is hot, it will soon return to rationality.
