AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/03 Report--

Volvo XC90 officially launched on Sept. 5, the new car has not changed much from the previous generation, only made some adjustments in appearance and details, and made some upgrades in configuration, the official guiding price was 63.39-833900 yuan at the time of launch. However, after only 20 days on the market, the price has dropped by 190000.

Volvo XC90 is theoretically a second-tier luxury brand, the price is the same as Cadillac, Infiniti, Lexus and other cars, however, Volvo has set the price of XC90 at more than 630000, which has reached the price of first-tier luxury brands. If sold at the price of first-tier luxury brands, Volvo XC90's profit can be imagined.

Although the price of this car is set to the price of a first-tier luxury car brand, its production power is not in line with the price. Compared with the 21019 model, the two models have only made some optimizations in detail and added some configurations.

In terms of vehicle space, Volvo XC90 body size has not changed, length, width and height is still 4953mm/1958mm/1776mm, wheelbase is 2984mm, in the same class models, Volvo XC90 has no competitive advantage. Take Cadillac XT5 as an example, the car body size is 5056mm/1964mm/1780mm, the strength crushes Volvo XC90.

In terms of configuration, although Volvo XC90 has increased a lot, such as urban safety and blind spot monitoring information system, intersection early warning system and so on, it is not available in all departments, but only in medium and high-end models. In addition, there is no support for wireless charging of mobile phones / built-in driving recorders and so on.

Power performance is also regular, compared with Audi Q7 and Cadillac XT5. Volvo XC90 still continues the previous generation of powertrain, offering 2.0T turbocharged engine and 2.0T twin-supercharged engine, matching eight-speed manual self-integrated transmission.

If the price is set so high in this case, is there any reason for consumers not to buy first-tier luxury brands? So for XC90, it deviated from the market at first, although I don't know whether I want to go high first and then get the market or the price gap caused by unknown positioning, but for this model, there should be a greater price reduction in the future.
