September 6, after a grand conference and impassioned speech teacher Wang Gang, the highly anticipated Mercedes-Benz G350 and finally officially met. Less than 1 million of the expected price and had completely different, G350 guide price of up to 1,429,800, only 200,000 cheaper than a V8 engine G500. From any perspective, this is an expensive and sensible prices.
Behind the seemingly unreasonable price, but also what we do not know the hidden things? Today, we have to analyze in detail what the difference in the end product strength 2.0T big G, and the G350 and G500. Information
whether it is a real car photos or Mercedes conveyed, G350 G500 In addition to the differences compared to the power system, and no much difference. The first is the design level, G350 either appearance or interior design, are consistent with the G500, and the same standard 19 inches double five-spoke wheels, in addition to the disappearance of fender at the rear G350 V8 logo and the code, you I can not find it anywhere differences in appearance and G500.
Therefore, I also believe that the first thing you G350 owners of vehicles after the hand, it must be the flag of the rear G350 deducted, and then everything from a treasure buy a full set of car standard set G500 put to.
In the configuration, G350 and G500 are the same done almost exactly the same level. Iconic interiors three metal AMG steering wheel is standard, two big screen 12.3 inches and 64-color interior mood lights still make the car as nightclubs generally gorgeous.
three buttons on the console, also shows that G350 is also equipped with a hard core of three differential lock, the lock can be the front of the vehicle, during and after, respectively, differential. Although the G350 really buy people should have less than a few differential lock, four-wheel drive capability but the G350’s no shrinkage. Low-speed four-wheel drive, a variety of off-road mode switch, the G-bones are things.
In another configuration, such as the G350 standard still Sound Berlin, front seat heating / ventilation / massage, heated rear seats, the whole car soundproof glass, rear independent air conditioning, 360-degree panoramic images with full domain ACC driver assistance systems, the full LED headlights and other configuration, the same does not have any difference with the G500.
The advantage of this is that, in addition to the power system, G350 owners and passengers can get 100 percent G500 experience, without too strong demand for power situation , the sense of dignity unabated.
The advantage of this is that, in addition to the power system, G350 owners and passengers can get 100 percent G500 experience, in the absence of demand for power is too strong, the sense of dignity unabated.
parameters given by the official point of view, of the G350 0-100km / h acceleration of 8.1 seconds, although the performance a lot slower than G500 5.9 seconds, but objectively speaking, 8 seconds Pobai acceleration performance, in fact, not bad, and now running on the road gasoline vehicles, can do eight seconds Pobai not the majority, rather than the strong performance of the G350 large hardcore off-road car, even less.
compared to its acceleration, but more to be concerned about is its noise. You know, the big V8 G the most attractive places in addition to the square box shape, nature is deep emotion of the V8 engine noise. Especially in a place like this Sanlitun, every Big G owners, seems to be very fond of passers-by to show their voice. And after switching to a four-cylinder engine, G350 no longer have the original V8 engine roar Majestic, weak voice may become the owner of a lump hearts.
Since power is not absolute G350 weakness, why this car is so great controversy? The core reason is because of the price.As everyone knows, China’s imported car manufacturers guide price is CIF vehicle itself (also known as the customs value) + tariff + VAT + consumption tax integrated component. Wherein the vehicle excise duty vehicle emissions linked to any connection.
Here, we omit a complicated calculation process, to see the result directly. The 2.0T G350, actual displacement 1991ml, belongs to the category 1.5L-2.0L, so the overall tax rate was 36.79 percentage of the final vehicle, calculated in accordance with the price of 1.4298 million, the actual customs value G350 is about 1,045,200.
V8 engine and mounted G500 models, the actual engine displacement 3982ml, integrated rate of 73.27 percentage, which is calculated in accordance with the guidance 1,628,800, customs value is 94 G500 million. Yes, you read that right, G500 actual declaration of price 4.0T V8, G350 cheaper than the 2.0T is a full 100,000!
This operation, in 2020, perhaps only Mercedes-Benz in China have the capital to do it, G350 declaration of 4.0T 2.0T bid the G500 is more expensive, then with a small advantages engine displacement tax rates, but lower than the guide price on the G500. Of course, there is another possibility, and that is the Mercedes-Benz G350 customs value is lower than the G500, but in the domestic pricing, already contains extremely exaggerated profits.
A lot of people do not realize is, G350 car is a China special for the car, which means it pricing and positioning will not be affected in any other market, nor the presence of G350 parallel import car market from other countries to compete. In other words, Mercedes-Benz has the absolute dominance of the G350 in China.
From the current market view, G350 just listed, the first batch of cars for dealers has been given no small degree increase, doing all they have to fall 200 Wan about the. The G500 due to the guide price reached 1.6288 million, has more than 1521,000 luxury tax threshold, it is necessary to pay an additional 10 percentage luxury consumption tax. At the same time, a higher rate of increase G500 terminal, the actual landing prices have been approaching 300 million mark. As a result, G350 and G500 will post the actual landing guidance far exceeds the difference is only about 200,000 of the two vehicles, two million level for consumers, this is a gap can not be ignored.
Therefore, G350 in the end the market is actually has a very clear target users who need large G domineering appearance, luxurious refined interior and strong brand influence while there is not much to the pursuit of power system, usually used to travel in the city, 8 seconds Pobai acceleration definitely enough. In this context, these smart rich people there is no reason to spend hundreds of thousands of big buy G500.
Under certain market demand, always the birth of a specific product, G350 is such a car came into being. It not only has “the people,” the price is more than the G500, while meeting a large part of the big G actual needs of users.
in the price level, G350 pricing may seem outrageous, but also bears the Mercedes strong ability to control the demand for the Chinese market and tax policy, in itself earn pours the same time, also allows dealers and end-consumers feel reasonable, is definitely the most likely to do business in 2020 the car manufacturers.
If you feel interested G350 actual power and driving it, concerned about the “carrot report,” Yin brother tomorrow will bring the most detailed G350 test drive experience everyone!
