As Chrysler Group one of the world’s Big Three auto makers said, mainly due to cross-train “is to produce to consumers for special purposes needs “of the vehicle, Chrysler is the world’s first crossover vehicle concept advocated the introduction of one of the most standard car company’s cross-border car. In recent years, the Chrysler Group in the international cross-border car industry established the position of the leader of its Dodge brand has launched kubo, cool Wei and two classic crossover, Dodge Cool stroke is more respect for individuality, passion, modern life young people’s way of providing cross-border distinctive choice for the latest listing of cool Dodge Granville, Chrysler believes, “Crossover (cross-border) “represents a non-Xunchang wisdom, it is the re-definition of rational cognition and emotional consumption optimal balance for living in diversity, the era of fast-paced life of Chinese consumers, Dodge Viagra set cool sense of fashion design, smooth driving experience, flexible comfortable ride and good security in one, whether for business travel or commuting daily use, family or need a large space travel, and occasionally go to the outskirts of experience driving fun, versatile Dodge Viagra can meet. not only does it provide consumers with peace of mind and passionate comfortable driving experience, but also to satisfy their hearts for freedom, fashion, breaking the desire to inspire them to push the boundaries enjoy the pursuit of higher goals of life.
in China, automobile consumers why so much interest in recent years, cross-border car, a brief analysis.
national Bureau of Statistics data released in 2008 the national total has reached 661 cities, the urban population of 577 million, accounting for 44.9 percent of the total population of the country. China’s urban residents per branch Disposable income reached 20,000 yuan, which does not include those “gray income” is not one of the statistics. Among them, more than large and medium income of urban residents, such as Wuhan is located in the middle of residents per capita monthly income in 2008 was more than 2100 yuan. according to “2 times the annual per capita income of the family car is the realization of” considerations, the current price of six or seven million “utility vehicle”, it is best to enter the family car, while 577 million urban population (more than 1 million households), even though only one-third of a person or family to buy these cars, the market is also staggering.
from “as a tool of labor” this side, cross-border car market demand is great. Li Zhibin, chairman of China Association of SMEs in Shanghai revealed that the total number of SMEs throughout China by the business sector has registered more than 4.3 million. If we have not been registered “black family” together, their numbers can at least doubled. these small and medium enterprises for the production and life meter, special needs “business with IKEA,” the crossover effect, especially in middle and low crossover pickup and a number of micro-off, most of these enterprises Car of choice.
2001 is recognized as the car into our family’s “first year”, it has passed 2078, when car buyers have entered the purchase or replacement of the second phase of the car is said, presentIn the new car consumers in Beijing and other developed areas, the percentage is about 30 second car. Of these, except for a few special people will have money to buy more high-end pure car, the more people in pursuit of high-end crossover vehicle, such as the first choice for the Dodge Viagra cool, cool stroke, followed by the Toyota Highlander [123 ], Ford S-MAX, Dongfeng Honda’s new CR-V, Nissan’s Qashqai, Subaru new OUTBACK Outback, are very “faction” of the model, and also multi-functional, which has several thousands, SME owners millions of assets, is indeed a very suitable model.
In short, many things, like the rise in China’s cross-border car, completely follow the city, should seek and hair, its inevitability and rationality. As a result of this inherent power, it is expected, will form cross-border car spark a prairie fire.
