AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/03 Report--

It seems unfair to evaluate the quality of a model only in terms of sales, but if it is to judge whether a model is hot or not, then sales can be said to be a very important criterion.

For models that do not sell well, they may lack strong production power, or upgrade slowly, but no matter which reason it is, the vehicle itself is prone to problems, and after-sales difficulties will increase.

Therefore, today I will talk to you about which SUV models have been sold less than 50 in the past six months. According to the data, in the first half of this year, 8 SUV models were sold less than 50. Since Haima 8s and Lecke 02 have just been on the market, they will not be included, including the following models:

Kia KX3/KX7: sales of 41 / 24 in half a year

Among the SUV models that sold less than 50 vehicles in half a year, Dongfeng Yueda Kia accounted for two models, namely the KX3 and the KX7.

Sales figures show that KX3 sold only eight vehicles in June and 41 in the first half of this year. According to Kia's plan, the new KX3 will be available by the end of this year, but it seems to have been forgotten by the market before it goes on sale.

In addition, KX7 sold only one vehicle in June and 24 in the first half of this year. At the end of last year, KX7 cut prices by 60, 000 yuan, but even so, sales have not improved, and the model has been discontinued.

According to the data, Kia sold less than 160000 vehicles in the first half, down 7.6 per cent from a year earlier, with a completion rate of less than 40 per cent, compared with 410000 sales set at the beginning of the year.

Changan Suzuki: 2 cars sold in half a year

The last model of Fengzhi is 2015, and the positioning of the model is small SUV. Only two cars were sold in the first half of this year, including June, and production of the car has been discontinued, so it seems that it is supposed to deal with inventory.

In fact, the shutdown of Fengzhong is also expected. At the end of 2018, Changan Automobile acquired Changan Suzuki for 1 yuan and transferred the production task of Mercedes-Benz mini to Changan Suzuki factory. Later, due to the shrinking subcompact car market, the final sales continued to decline, Changan Suzuki inventory also increased.

Kerry K60EV: sales of 25 cars in half a year

The Kerry K60EV sold nine vehicles in June and 25 in the first half of the year. Data show that this car is Kairui car is on the market on August 8, 2018, an electric vehicle, based on gasoline models, equipped with 80KW motor. In 2018, Kairui New Energy ranks first in the national new energy vehicle industry, but in spite of this, entering the passenger car market is still a big problem for Kairui.

Guanzhi 3 cities: sales of 29 vehicles in half a year

Guanzhi 3 City SUV sold only 6 vehicles in June, compared with 29 in the first half of this year. Even if Baoneng takes a stake in Guanzhi now, it doesn't seem to have changed it much.

The establishment of Guanzhi Automobile can be traced back to 2009. After the failure of Chery's high-end brand Ruilin, it came up with the idea of building China's own high-end brand through a new model, namely Guanzhi.

Since the launch of the product in 2013, Guanzhi has been in a state of loss. Before Baoneng took a stake, Qoros made a loss of nearly 7 billion yuan in the three years from 2014 to 2016. After Baoneng Group took a stake, Guanzhi Automobile experienced a short-term recovery, but still did not get out of the predicament.

Pentium X80: 36 cars sold in half a year

The Pentium X80 sold-1 in June and 36 in the first half of the year.

Since FAW Pentium launched its concept car in 2011, it launched its first SUV Pentium X80 in 2013. In fact, there are still thousands of cars sold between 2014 and 2016, but only 100 after 2017 and 2018, and even fell to single digits in 2019, plummeting.

These are the models that sold less than 50 vehicles in the first half of this year. Specifically, the car companies of these models are also quite famous in China. However, with the influx of independent brands and new car-building forces, due to the appearance can not follow the development of the times, the lack of technical support and the slow iteration of the update of old models and other problems are gradually forgotten by consumers, resulting in the final sales of only single digits or even stop production.
