Tucson can also be in the top 10. If the Taiwanese compatriots who have been ripped off encounter mainland SUVs, will their three views be shattered?

Like their mainland compatriots, residents of Taiwan Province of my country also prefer to buy SUV models.

According to the latest data, among the top 10 new car sales in Taiwan Province in April, 1-9 are all SUV models. A closer look shows that these models that can rank in the top 10 sales list are quite different from those in mainland China. Among them, Toyota has 5 models selected, but these 5 models are basically ignored in mainland China, while Hyundai Tucson, a model that has almost disappeared in mainland China, can actually enter the top 10 in the Taiwan market.

Let’s assume that a popular SUV from mainland China entered the Taiwanese market, what would happen?

First is BYD Song PLUS. The strength of this car is unquestionable, with monthly sales of 30,000 to 40,000 units, and the starting price is only 129,800 yuan. Many consumers in Taiwan like Japanese cars. Compared with Japanese pure fuel SUVs, BYD Song PLUS has stronger power, higher intelligence level, and lower car cost, which can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack.

Compared with BYD Song PLUS, the fuel-powered SUVs of Japanese brands seem to be a product of the last era. In the mainland market, they can only maintain a certain sales volume by selling at a discount. It is conceivable that if Song PLUS enters the Taiwan market, it is likely to shatter the "three views" of many Taiwanese compatriots when buying cars.

A model one level higher than Song PUS is BYD Tang family, a mid-size SUV priced at RMB 179,800 to RMB 269,800. This car is often compared with Honda CR-V, which starts at RMB 230,000 in Taiwan. However, in terms of product performance, Honda CR-V lags behind BYD Tang family in terms of space, power, and driving experience.

The automobile industry in Taiwan Province of my country is weak, and the local market is basically monopolized by foreign brands. Many of them enter the Taiwanese market in the form of imported cars, so the prices of most models are ridiculously high. If the Tang family enters the Taiwanese market without restrictions, it can really be said to be giving away benefits.

People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait like SUVs. The main reason is that they share the same culture and culture, have strong family values, and like to travel with their families, so they prefer SUVs with large spaces. The popular Ideal L7 in mainland China is a "super dad car."

The starting price of Ideal L7 is 301,800 yuan, which is enough to buy a mid-range CR-V in the Taiwan market. However, Ideal L7 can provide L2-level driving assistance functions, a large space brought by a 3-meter wheelbase, and a maximum power of 330kW. In addition, this car can also provide external discharge function, and there is no range anxiety. It is conceivable that if it enters the Taiwan market, will consumers still look at models like Highlander?

In the impression of many Taiwanese consumers, mainland products are low-end products, but in fact, mainland China is far ahead of Taiwan in the field of automobile consumption. The starting price of the M9 is as high as 469,800 yuan, but it can achieve monthly sales of 10,000 units. If this car enters the Taiwanese market, a number of Japanese brands will definitely complain and find it difficult to cope.

The M9 has a length of 5230mm and a wheelbase of 3110mm. The maximum power of the pure electric version is 390kW, and the total power of the extended-range version is as high as 365kW. At the same time, the entire series is equipped with front and rear dual motors and electric four-wheel drive systems. The cruising range is more than 1200km when fully fueled and fully charged. What does this mean? The coastline of the entire island of Taiwan is just over 1100 kilometers. If you drive the M9, fill up the gas and charge it, you can drive around the entire province of Taiwan .

In addition, the M9 also provides Huawei-quality L2+ driving assistance functions, including active braking, lane departure warning, and automatic driving on highways. Judging from the top 10 models in Taiwan's sales list, Taiwanese people should be ignorant of smart driving. If it enters Taiwan, it may open a door to a new world for many consumers.

In addition to these conventional models, some models in mainland China are also very competitive in the niche market, and off-road vehicles are a typical example. The Tank 300 starts at 199,800 yuan, but has a square box shape, a four-wheel drive system as standard, and also provides L2-level driving assistance functions.

You know, the automobile market in Taiwan Province of my country is mainly dominated by Japanese cars, and 360-degree panoramic images are considered high-end configurations. I believe that the entry of the Tank 300 into the Taiwanese market may be enough to make consumers feel that they have been cheated by Japanese cars for so long.

In Taiwan's off-road vehicle market, Toyota Prado is relatively representative and is a car driven by "rich people". However, Prado's influence in mainland China has been getting lower and lower, and it is no longer the most common model on the 318.

To put it bluntly, the main reason why Japanese cars can dominate the Taiwanese market is that the local market is closed and there is no mature automobile industry. Or simply put, they bully our Taiwanese compatriots because they have never seen any good cars. Therefore, those Japanese cars that have been squeezed out of the mainstream market in mainland China can continue to reap the rewards in the Taiwanese market.

Cars are the largest and most expensive consumer product for an average family besides a house, and this is true for both sides of the Taiwan Strait. What Taiwanese people need now is the universal support of mainland automakers. Think about it, in a provincial market with a monthly sales volume of about 30,000 vehicles, what needs can't be met by the world's largest auto market?
