AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/23 Report--

The 2020 Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition (18th) was held from November 20 to 29, in which November 20 is Media Day. Only domestic and foreign media reporters are invited to cover and report; November 21-22 is the professional audience day; November 23-19 is the general public visit day.

As the last A-class auto show in 2020, no matter in scale or slightly inferior, most of the key models of the auto show this year have been released at the Beijing auto show, and the Guangzhou auto show has changed from a well-known international auto show to a "trade fair".

According to the official information of the exhibition, there are a total of 980 cars on display, of which 38 are the first models in the world. At the Guangzhou Auto Show, many car brands were unveiled with their new cars, including Lincoln's new navigator, Volvo XC40 RECHARGE, Lexus LS 500h and other models. The same is true of Mercedes-Benz, which includes the Maybach GLS SUV, Mercedes-Benz E-Class Standard Axis, AMG GLA, AMG GLB and the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

However, some car commentators found at the scene that on the second day of the Guangzhou Auto Show, that is, "Professional audience Day", many of the new cars on display on Media Day were missing, such as the new S-Class at the Mercedes-Benz booth, all replaced with mainstream best-selling models.

As one of the most representative luxury cars, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class design has always been a bellwether in the industry, and its luxurious interior layout has also attracted a lot of attention. On September 2 this year, the 11th generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class was first launched in Germany. Judging from the pictures of real cars, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is quite impressive.

The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class adopts a new family design language, and part of the classic three-frame medium net design on the front face has been retained, but the edges are more rounded and the shield-shaped forward air grille with the largest area makes the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class a little younger. As for similar China net design has appeared in the mid-term revamped E-level, so there is also less novelty.

The interior has changed a lot. The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior not only highlights the luxury atmosphere, but also incorporates more technological elements, such as a huge central control vertical screen, and rearranges the dashboard structure. the driver uses a stand-alone LCD dashboard in front of the driver. In the power part, the new S-stage will be equipped with 3.0T L6 and 4.0T V8 turbocharged engines, both equipped with light mixing systems.

At this auto show, many spectators went for the new S-class, but when they arrived at the scene, they found that the new S-class of Mercedes-Benz had disappeared and was replaced by a mainstream hot-selling model. Don't the audience deserve to see the new S-class? Some netizens believe that Mercedes-Benz S-class consumers will not go to the auto show to see cars, as for what is the reason for Mercedes-Benz to withdraw S-class, perhaps only the official is clear.

According to the comprehensive evaluation, many netizens think that Guangzhou Auto Show has gradually become a "trade fair". Some netizens said, "the booths are full of car sellers, and as soon as you get in, you want to leave your phone number." Another netizen commented, "this professional day has become the same as an ordinary day, and it feels worse and worse."

Considering the market situation this year, due to the epidemic situation and market reasons, the performance of most car companies in the first half of the year is not satisfactory, and many car companies are also looking forward to the development of the second half of the year. 2020 is coming to an end and is about to enter the impulse stage at the end of the year. As the last A-class auto show, there is nothing wrong with the situation that the exhibition car has become a "car sale". What do you think of this phenomenon at the auto show?
