AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/23 Report--

On January 21, SAIC-Volkswagen's ID.4 X model was officially launched, with a subsidised price range of 199888-272888 yuan, offering three NEDC life versions of 402km, 520km and 555km for consumers to choose from. It is understood that the new car is the first ID introduced by SAIC Volkswagen. The series model, which is also the first pure electric vehicle under SAIC-Volkswagen, is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV.

It is understood that ID.4X has adopted a new sales model. SAIC Volkswagen has selected 252 dealers from more than 1000 dealers as agents and re-signed agency contracts with them. The relationship between the two sides has changed from the traditional "mainframe factory + dealer" relationship to the agency relationship. In the agency mode, dealers become agents of vehicle drivers, helping car companies to carry out vehicle display, test drive and delivery of new cars. The sales invoice of the new car is issued by the whole car factory, and the sales price is unified throughout the country.

However, the Volkswagen ID.4X with a uniform price has been exposed by netizens that the car has given a subsidy discount of up to 80, 000 yuan in its internal channels.

According to the picture, Yapu subsidizes 50, 000 yuan for the purchase of ID.4 X bikes in the name of the supplier company, with a discount of about 30% for the three models. For example, the subsidized naked car price of the ID.4X pure version with a guidance price of 217888 yuan is 149888 yuan, the subsidized naked car price of the ID.4X pure long-lasting version with a guiding price of 237888 yuan is 169888 yuan, and the subsidized naked car price of the Jizhi long-lasting version with a guiding price of 253888 yuan is 185,888 yuan.

In addition, Yapu directly subsidizes 80,000 yuan for the purchase of bicycles in the name of supplier employees, with a discount of about 40% for the three models. For example, the subsidized naked car price of the ID.4X pure version with a guidance price of 217888 yuan is 119888 yuan, the subsidized naked car price of the ID.4X pure long-lasting version with a guiding price of 237888 yuan is 139888 yuan, and the subsidized naked car price of the Jizhi long-lasting version with a guiding price of 253888 yuan is 155888 yuan.

According to the car purchase process at the bottom of the picture, the supplier needs to provide Yapu with the car purchase list of its own company or employees, and Volkswagen sales company will confirm the list and contact one-on-one. It is worth noting that the subsidy fee of Yapu is first advanced by the supplier when its employees buy the car, and then returned to the supplier in the form of deduction.

According to the data, Yapu Auto parts Co., Ltd. was established in December 1988 as a joint venture between the State Development and Investment Corporation and SAIC. It is a global supplier specializing in the research, development, manufacture and sales of automotive fuel systems. Serve Volkswagen, GM, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Renault Nissan, Toyota, Honda, logo Citroen, Mercedes-Benz, SAIC passenger cars, FAW, Changan, Great Wall and other auto brands.

In other words, this generous subsidy belongs to the internal employee preference of the supplier company and has nothing to do with SAIC Volkswagen.

Volkswagen ID.4X sold 501 vehicles in April, compared with 1008 in May and ranked 46th in the new energy vehicle market, according to the data. Of course, as SAIC-Volkswagen's first pure electric car, we can see that the sales of this car are growing, so the future performance of the ID.4X is worth watching.
