Recently, theInfiniti MNational test drive will start in Dalian, the event will last four months, major cities across the country. There are rumors that the business located in the executive-level luxury car Infiniti M, is expected to become the first China-made cars. However, in recentDongfeng MotorLtd. “The new medium-term business plan” conference,RenaultNissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is that the discussion nowInfinitiMade some haste. After all, the first Japanese to enter China’s luxury car brandLexusIn annual sales reached 50,000 when the promises are not fulfilled this step. In recent years the fastest growing, frequently with the challenge of Infiniti Lexus, its focus is on the branding and network building. Of course, this is made necessary for the realization of domestic reserves.

In 2010, with 11,513 in annual sales, the Chinese market to become world’s second largest market for Infiniti, representing an increase of 137.3%. In the same year, Lexus sold 52,000, compared with 5200 Acura. Infiniti into three major Japanese luxury car brand in the most aggressive and full of energy and power of the brand.

It is understood that Infiniti’s global goal is to achieve 50 million units by 2016, annual sales, more than German luxury car brandAudi、BMWAndMercedes-BenzCurrent annual sales and less than half, but it is Infiniti’s three times the current level of sales. There is no doubt that China will achieve the 2016 target Infiniti’s gold market. Infiniti’s secret weapon is a composition of at least 10 different models of the model line, and the present, a full line of Infiniti models have been introduced into China.

Infiniti M is expected to trade on the analysis made unreasonable. On the one hand, M line in Infiniti sales in China in total about 15% of GDP. On the other hand, the M series is positioned as luxury business class sedans, while the domestic market is quite hot, the strengths of Japanese luxury cars is the configuration and comfort, while Infiniti’s unique design capabilities are also well received. This is compared to Infiniti MBMW 5 SeriesAnd other German competitors.

China in the sale of the M series has two models, respectively, M25 and M37, equipped with 2.5L and 3.7L V6 naturally aspirated engine, matching 7-speed automated manual transmission, priced at 498,000 ~ 658,000 yuan. This year, including the Infiniti M nationwide test drive a number of marketing activities, including organizing, Infiniti also showed the importance of the cars.

Infiniti M25

Infiniti’s designed in the next, M series test drive will be divided into “drive” and “enjoy” two main themes. In the “driving” theme, the Infiniti arrangements, including roads, highways and mountain roads, including the section of the multi-section experience. In the “share” of the topic, its specially set up high-tech interactive experience areas and luxurious display area to show the vehicleModernTechnology and design content. Meanwhile, Infiniti also arranged for a professional instructor, set I-pad interactive display screen, easy for people to learn more about the products and brands.

Infiniti M37

General Manager of Infiniti Business in China Lv Zhengyu said: “In the current Infiniti car lines, intermediate SUV FXThe main product is the most favorable, while playing cars people are very familiar with our G-series. Currently our main push products Infiniti M, it’s target audience is the era of the elite, the choice of cars is necessary to meet their driving needs, should be enough to do business with the grade. This market segment is very large, accounting for 40% of the total car market around. ”

When consumers buy cars abroad, Infiniti and BMW will be compared, because the movement’s position is similar. Lv Zhengyu that Infiniti is a brand new modern luxury brand, positioning the crowd is young and passionate to those people, their traditional brands and traditional products would be more tired, more willing to try new brands and new things. A survey shows that China’s luxury car consumers younger than 10 years in Europe, this is precisely Infiniti strongly concerned about the consumers.

In Lv Zhengyu view, mainstream luxury brands have a few specific indicators, including sales, network, market share and so on. For Infiniti, the sales volume is only a matter of time to achieve the established goals, and when the customer satisfaction and network coverage up to a certain extent, can hope to become a top brand.

This year, Lv Zhengyu’s mission is to lead to achieve 20,000 Infiniti sales double over last year, the dealer network is expanding to 50. According to the plan,NissanIn the third quarter of this year, cut out the impact of the earthquake, to restore full capacity, it also means Infiniti in the second half of the overall development of China.

China’s luxury car market last year, an increase of 80% of the madness, so that Nissan had to attach importance to China, the world’s most potential market. For Infiniti, the domestic is not far away.

Long ago promised to give us the future of electric vehicles finally arrived ─ ─ although some unsatisfactory. For decades, industry experts have been predicted, “strange days” will eventually come, then, will the internal combustion engine and had to quit the stage of history, a cleaner, quieter, more sustainable new technology will replace him. Today, people really can go around the local dealers, test drive the all-electric family car. Unthinkable a few years ago, is now a reality in Europe. Electric cars are no longer just the designer’s vision, it has been turned into novelty shapes, like cars, quietly hit the road.

London Mayor Johnson (Boris Johnson) fromNissanPaul Willcox, Managing Director of cars receive a number of hear the wind (Leaf) electric car.

But this zero-emission transportation solutions for how much exaggerated, for example? Take the market, only a handful of electric vehicles, on one hand the price prohibitively high, the other limited by battery technology, can only be opened in the town. And in the UK and other countries, the main source of energy or fossil fuels, electric vehicles before opening time had to spend 10 hours fully charged, the process would still cause a lot of emissions.

Nissan Motor (Nissan) hear the wind production (Leaf) is the world’s first electric car mass production of electric vehicles. This car price of 30,000 euros each (about 43,000 U.S. dollars), compared with similar gasoline or diesel powered cars to cars twice as expensive. But this is not the biggest problem.

Currently in the electric vehicle market, generally toPublicCompanyGolf(Golf) model as a reference standard. Golf is not only much cheaper prices than hear the wind (the wind can now hear have been included tax benefits), but also equipped with high-efficiency oil BlueMotion (Bluemotion) engine. Using an advanced aerodynamic design, 100 km fuel consumption of only 4 liters to fill a tank of fuel can travel 1,400 kilometers. In contrast, hear the wind up to full power only after traveling 160 km

As a comparison, hear the wind of the disadvantages are obvious. Although the running costs low, the United Kingdom and many European countries, the Government provides some tax relief and road funding support, but in these key markets will limit the sales do not increase production. Now, with the supporting infrastructure of electric vehicles is almost not, from the family would like to find a place open to go out after the charge is extremely difficult, time is not realistic.

So for the average person, no alternative but to continue to use fossil fuel-powered vehicle. Over the next many years, the automotive market will remain dominated by gasoline and diesel powered cars, because automotive industry and get behind the government could not really viable alternative.

However, understand that the latest low-emission, high fuel efficiency diesel engines in terms of cost and performance are better than the best hybrid or all-electric power plant better, and emissions are comparable, really feel some comfort.

Oil industry analysts said, according to the current consumption rate, then the world’s crude oil can only support about 40 years. Can be sure that 40 years is sufficient electric cars take over the mantle of a traditional car. At the same time, there are some skeptics say, do not OPEC crude oil reserves (OPEC) countries recognized by so many, rapid rise in oil prices soon, and that’s when the battery technology and the development of transport infrastructure level is far from enough.

With strong global government requires businesses to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, encourage and invest in future-oriented technology, this skepticism has not won a small market.

But to get full play the function of this technology, it is possible a few decades of development time. The current situation is, the industry launched hear the wind just like the product carefully to try it. However, in the not too distant future, the importance of electric vehicle technology will only intensify. Some people in the industry as a hydrogen fuel cell zero emission future major springboard, but now the power has gone down significantly reduce investment, the major automobile manufacturers have been shifting the focus to the growing emergence of electric vehicles and other renewable energy sources a, such as wind and solar energy.

ToyotaPrius (PRIUS) batteries.

For electric vehicles, the battery problem still exists. Now the battery is too big, too heavy, the production costs are too high, not only charging slowly, and without use. Some people offered to lease the battery to solve this problem, thereby reducing the final cost of the consumer, but this program can only be shelved until the number of electric vehicles to reach a certain size may be a try. Recently, also proposed a battery of “space for full,” the proposal.

According to this idea, the driver can get used to enchant a battery fully charged battery, which can greatly reduce the waiting time charge. But this is not the root of the problem solution. Mileage of electric cars is still a big headache for people’s problems, many industry experts still need to resolve.

But in any case, the problem is always solved. U.S. and European governments are seeking to adjust the auto industry policy to encourage production of zero-emission vehicles, many manufacturers are competing to enter the private sector virtually untapped piece of virgin land, trying to step ahead to gain an advantage. U.S. Tesla Motors (Tesla) produced a small amount of the price of $ 120,000 all-electric two-seat convertible car, and confident the next S-type sedan a maximum mileage to 300 miles (about 483 km), but the news has not yet been confirmed, but not enough for the general public cost.

To be successful, huge investment is the key. Can rapidly expand into new markets or indirectly to the electric car project a crucial impact.

With China’s car market, the unprecedented demand substantial growth, to promote electric vehicles will reduce global production costs, thereby reducing the consumer’s final cost.

Once earn more profits, and will have more money to invest in battery technology to further enhance the practicality of electric vehicles.

From the current situation, the automotive industry seems too hasty. However, any new technology requires some courage ─ ─ those early adopters who have the patience, there are ideas, rich enough and do not care much about efficiency and cost people. Completely replace the diesel locomotive after the carriage, now ushered in the personal transportation in the history of another great turning point. However, even if we can be successful, still a very long time.

Zero-emission vehicles, “Heroes”

Volkswagen Golf TDI BlueMotion (GOLF TDI BLUEMOTION)

Price: 21,300 euros

Maximum mileage: 1,446 km

Carbon dioxide emissions: 99 g / km

The car is the benchmark for all similar models. Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI BlueMotion represents the technology of today’s top automotive industry, which uses a lower resistance tires and aerodynamic design, the engine uses a very good high-pressure common-rail turbo diesel technology. Also a box of oil, the car’s mileage to be higher than any comparable car, much cheaper than electric vehicles.

ToyotaPrius(PRIUS)

Price: 23,611 euros

Maximum mileage: 1,153 km

Carbon dioxide emissions: 89 g / km

World-famous Prius succeeded in getting gasoline – electric hybrid technology into the thousands of public view. The car uses a small four-cylinder engine, also equipped with a motor generator can be turned into reverse. Now this a pioneering family cars has produced a modified version of the third generation, carbon dioxide emissions to 89 g / km, more than 1,000 km of mileage. However, the car’s price is still expensive compared with golf, somewhat less practical, power is also lacking.

Snow (VOLT)

Price: 28,000 euros

Maximum mileage: 482 km

Carbon dioxide emissions: 52 g / km

Wo Landa equivalent to the U.S. version of the Toyota Prius, which is a gas – electric hybrid, is the U.S. producers on their own sites, to lead the automotive industry forward in recent years. If you use only batteries instead of gasoline engine, then the car can travel 40 miles (63 km). 482 km the maximum mileage let the car more practical. However, compared with the Prius, the real driving fuel efficiency worse, the price is also high, from car sales in the U.S. market is relatively high can be seen in the case of clues to this problem.

In 2011, was a lot of the media as high-class car market reshuffle of the year. Because, in addition to the traditional new Teana, Camry, Mazda 6, and Rui-wing, the beginning of the beginning, many car manufacturers were targeted high-class car market, while competition in this market are similar to the magic that is longer.

One has a bomb was to invest in the market, and high-class car market has never been so chaotic before.

Early, K5 appeared, the newPassatAnd eighthSonataShanghai auto show in the same month after listing, and the newMAGOTANLong before the launch,Dongfeng Peugeot508 into the market, they invariably point to the goal of senior cars.

The traditional Japanese three strong monopoly will be broken, competitive high-class car market whether there will be price collapse, plus L, it will make new MAGOTANFAW-VolkswagenMeet market expectations … … and for consumers, more looking forward to this year’s fourth quarter points.

L chaos senior car shopping

This is the best of times, worst of years.

The car manufacturers, car market like today’s high-class mid-size car market a few years ago as spared from war endlessly; For the consumer, the choice of 20 million vehicles, the addition of their many options.

2011, by many media as high-class car market reshuffle of the year. Because, in addition to the traditional newTeana、Camry、AccordNewLaCrosse、Mondeo- Success,Mazda 6AndRui Yi, The beginning of the beginning, many car manufacturers were targeted high-class car market.

EarlyKIA(Microblogging) K5 market, Shanghai Auto Show before and afterShanghai VolkswagenNew Passat andBeijing HyundaiSonata eighth in succession to the market, the end of July, the lengthening of the new MAGOTAN heavy attack, as well asBeautiful508……

Accord, Camry, etc. want to continue to rule high-class car market, the new Teana, a newRegalThe new Passat hope eroded the market, while eighth-generation Sonata and k5 are looking for a breakthrough, listed in January and the new Peugeot 508 MAGOTAN lurking around in the back.

L of the dispute is not so simple

MAGOTAN new listing on the expected sales this year, FAW -PublicYong Hu, general manager of sales remained silent, but the media quoted the insiders say is: FAW – Volkswagen set for new MAGOTAN 4 million sales target.

January new listing MAGOTAN performance then? It is reported that as of August 17, listed for less than a month FAW – Volkswagen New MAGOTAN (B7L) of orders has more than 16,000.

Yesterday, the FAW-Volkswagen public relations official says: At present, since the new listing MAGOTAN popular among consumers. “The new Magotan, but resources were more nervous.” Ms. Sun told reporters.

Although with the economic growth, high-class car market will become increasingly large piece of cake, but more brands to join, obviously added another brand’s market share diluted. For longer new MAGOTAN, what the industry who view it?

NissanVice president of sales and marketing headquarters Minister Yang Song said: “The rival car more, we have no pressure.” Yang Song’s self-confidence in the end come from? Teana technology, brand, service and other aspects of comprehensive strength, determines the sounds of nature without fear of challenge and the new car market changes.

Data show that: in the first half, the new Teana, Accord, Camry, LaCrosse new sales data were 73026, 69733, 62303, 57748. In response, industry analysis, high-class cars plus “L” more of a concept can only play the role can only increase the market battle chips, but not a cure-all “panacea.” After all, high-class cars are relatively large consumer groups “to understand car”, they need the best quality products: the brand has a high degree, the appearance of the face, driving comfort, quality and reliable.

Realistically speaking, the new MAGOTAN market prospects, the current can not empt, but it is certain, senior car comfort trend is bound to continue for a longer period of time. In this process, the change is clearly not MAGOTAN plus “L” so simple – FAW-Volkswagen has never been so eagerly looking forward to early entry into this “comfort war” at home. Reporters in the wind country

L of the war changed comfortable

MAGOTAN bring new changes, FAW-Volkswagen public relations official told reporters highlighted the car’s wheelbase changes.

Access to information, the reporter saw the new MAGOTAN wheelbase 2812cm, 2837cm than the new LaCrosse winning 2850cm wheelbase and slightly shorter than the wheelbase and the new sounds of nature were 2775cm, 2800cm, and 2775cm Accord slightly longer than the Camry.

“Compared with the old models, new MAGOTAN wheelbase 100cm, rear more space, better ride comfort.” FAW-Volkswagen China Shenyang 4S shop Ms. Sun Hui introduced.

About the new MAGOTAN, in addition to longer wheelbase, the FAW – Volkswagen has been to convey this information to the public: authentic German technology; technical standards to build a new high-end car MAGOTAN. FAW-Volkswagen official once described the new Magotan: “configuration change to the comfort and luxury”, specifically as follows: an increase of Tanner sound, Vienna senior leather and Alcantara leather seats, advanced accessories; all 79 vehicle active safety and passive safety set; active cruise driver assistance systems (ACC), the general public the latest and most complete ESP electronic stability system security, parking assist system and reversing camera systems.

Once the “sport school” vanguard MAGOTAN is to “comfort school” change, change the background of its high-class car market in recent years, the trend of comfort.

The reference to comfort, the reporter thought the new Teana. In fact, as early as 2008, listed at the beginning, DongfengNissanWould bring “comfort doctrine” idea. After three years, half of the new Teana won the sales champion of the VQ engine, CVT continuously variable transmission, three-dimensional ultra-quiet works, triple shock absorption system, BOSE stereo, panoramic sunroof and other configuration is no doubt relish the things consumers.

According to the Environmental Protection Bureau Director Li Kunsheng introduced vehicle emissions through subsidies, incentives and other economic measures, and guide to accelerate the elimination of old motor vehicles, is the international common practice. The city was from 2009 to 2010 the use of economic incentives eliminated 156,000 “yellow standard car”, to improve air quality and make a greater contribution. “Five-second” period, the city’s environmental protection goals of the plan is to phase out 400 000 old vehicles, reducing vehicle 1.1 million tons of nitrogen oxides.

Government subsidies for up to 14,500 yuan

First half of the “backlog” sales pressure brewing sixty-seven off-season focus on the release in August

6,7,8 months is the traditional off-season automobile market, auto market during the first half of this year there has been a rare negative growth, by the impact of the macroeconomic environment in general flat, to the car dealer “backlog” a lot of sales pressure, so even off-season there are a lot of Shunde car dealer put a positive position, demotion promotions, car loan product after another, hoping to attract consumers.

Insiders pointed out that the automobile market may pick up the fourth quarter, the consumer is now off-season “hunters” a good time.

Prospective owners Oral: April June phase of the car price 7000 yuan

A community has been planned into the car this year, had intended to “51″ shot in April who go into details into the automobile market hall asking about the price, then by the Japanese earthquake, automobile major brand models common stock, A certain American and European brands into the fancy cars and because the use of Japanese parts and gearbox into a tight supply.

Car dealer was given the price range is not bright, enthusiastic sales staff does not also claim that the model is intended to “raise prices” so that Afghanistan into a car by a lot of desire to fight and instead began to wait and see.

Into June, the A into the store frequently received telephone sales, saying that his phase models have price of 7,000 yuan, to the store go into the details can have a greater discount rate, coupled with subsidies for energy-saving models More than million offer, an additional gift spree, and earnest attitude every time, and frankly it is the off-season, car dealers pressure, none other than former big.

Car tips

In an off-season, consumers should focus on fighting for what interests?

Insiders pointed out that the traditional Chamber of Commerce on the train when the gift spree in the promotion, insurance, etc., which most consumers are already familiar with, but in recent years more and more car manufacturers are given extended warranty, consumers have not been enough attention, in fact, in actual use, the extended warranty service gift boutique affordable than many.

Gift boutique because car dealers, many of them are flashy things in the daily rate is not high, but consumers when buying a car can be brought home a lot of additional gifts that benefit.

The extended warranty service is invisible, and only occurs during the vehicle use virtually scratch, need of repair, could demonstrate value. For many new owners, a couple of years before buying a car would frequent a small accident, warranty service can reduce a lot of economic pressure. Car manufacturers usually send 2-year warranty, if the dealer and then presented three years, equivalent to a 5-year warranty, which gives the owner ate a lot of “assurances” do not worry about hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance expenses.

● Reporter survey: off-season promotion to push the car loan to reduce the consumption threshold

Insiders pointed out that many models have been off-season promotional price of 10% over the first half or so, the traditional off-season has been to the bottom line, and now is a good time to buy a car.

Third-Buick 4S store officials said that, although the slowdown in the automobile market during the first half, but overall it is quite stable, but harvest little, a lot of car dealers expect a difference in the off-season, such as the Buick on the third is introduction of promotional gifts activities. And many Japanese brands affected by the earthquake of production is gradually restored, great gearing up to regain the momentum of the market lost ground.

Insiders pointed out that many models have been off-season promotional price of 10% over the first half or so, the traditional off-season has been to the bottom line, and now is a good time to buy a car.
