➤ In our ‘garage track “section of the article about the New Zealand line in a rut king foretold, although New Zealand is a personal car ownership rates are very high in the country, but the locals for the car but did not pursue what most people open the car is in our view a very old car, the age of the vehicle more than a few years.
cars for New Zealanders what the presence of one?
luxury car? Very few
New Zealand’s first stop in a row – and the country’s largest city of Auckland, where regarded as the highest economic level in New Zealand across the country, so in the first few go to tourist attractions, saw the car let me themselves.
such as seen in the America’s Cup village parking lot Lexus LC, it is probably one of the most character of this process saw the two cars. The other one is the BMW i8, also in Auckland to see, but the BMW i8 is the Chinese people to open.
In fact, in New Zealand if you see this level of sports car, not a great probability of local people, but foreign student’s car, which in turn among Chinese students as the main force. After all, the spending power of Chinese citizens worldwide are ranked on the number.
Overall, in addition to the luxury sports cars, luxury cars and SUV brands in New Zealand is very rare.
walk around in New Zealand for a week did not renowned few Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi, especially the new luxury car, it would be less, and it really can not compare with our domestic first-tier cities.
runs on the road BBA models are usually two or three generations ago, the New Zealanders do not seem to like to buy a new car. Queenstown car encountered the BMW 320i (E36) looks also open for some time, it was his grandfather’s latest 3-Series (G20) of today’s grandfather.
Similarly, if you see a very new brand of luxury car or SUV on the road, it would most likely be a Chinese person. In ChristchurchChinese district, the chance to see a little luxury and brand new models will be larger.
to see the new generation of the Cayenne such a drag boats in the “Star Nature Reserve” settled Twizel hotel can be said to be very rare (Porsche It is rare in New Zealand), but this day is also quite outside the hotel with another car on the Cayenne generation. They are probably the point of view of the stars.
If you press the country to classify it?
First, in New Zealand, not many German cars, a large part of the reason is mentioned very little luxury brand models.
In addition to the German luxury brand, probably left with the public, and public ownership in New Zealand is not high, the most common or golf, but if people here to buy golf, a considerable part of all buy GTI. If the car is bought as grocery shopping, then they will be more willing to choose the Toyota Corolla.
When it comes to the Corolla, which is probably New Zealand’s current best-selling new car in, because TNGA hatchback version of the Corolla (that is, the hatchback version of the domestic Ralink) Although the market not for a long time, but it has been filled with running, but new Zealand is currently only selling the new Corolla hatchback, sedan temporarily provided. The previous generation and the two generations of Corolla in New Zealand has a high rate of appearance.
on my personal impression, Japanese A-class hatchback very popular in New Zealand.
Mazda also belong to the Japanese market in New Zealand is also doing well.
Angkesaila is everywhere in New Zealand, compared to our domestic market share higher number.
have been heard before the Australian friends for the Mazda brand favorite, and some models of Mazda’s long dominated the top sales in the market segment in Australia, which in the Chinese market is unthinkable .
appears next to Australia, New Zealand Oceania, belong to the people of the Mazda brand also feel the same way.
But Mazda contrast with Honda, Honda New Zealand is relatively small, especially as a “red network” of the tenth generation Civic in New Zealand is simply hard to find.
To this end, I specifically logged Honda New Zealand’s official website to see the Honda is not without selling Civic in New Zealand, but the Civic’s product line in New Zealand is very comprehensive ah, hatchback, sedan and Type-R available how to make friends domestic drooling ah, New Zealanders really fail to appreciate Hey. But GK5’d occasionally see a few more, but it also is not a network of red in New Zealand.
in New Zealand than the red Honda Subaru, especially in the South Island of New Zealand, because there is snow in winter, and also more rugged terrain, there are full-time four-wheel drive Subaru naturally more popular.
But even Subaru, the more common is an old car, old car more than a decade the majority.
Kan Ma, in fact, New Zealand is a country attaches great importance to environmental protection, but also on other people’s land ran so many dilapidated old cars, old cars do not say high emissions Well, how can I jump on the road it ……
came to Oceania, how can we not talk about the legendary “Australian soil specialty” mean?
so-called proximity and easier, although separated by two thousand kilometers, but can be considered Australia’s neighbor New Zealand. Australia’s “native” – Horton, more common in New Zealand. However, there is concern over our previous story about friends probably remember, Horton in October 20, 2017 to shut down the production line in Australia, so now Horton, is not produced in Oceania, and are common other brands of cars, sold in Oceania will put Horton’s LOGO.
For example, we are familiar with the Buick Regal, in Europe it is the Opel Insignia, is the Holden Commodore (travel version this is really enviable) in Oceania. There are some models did not change the name, change the subject directly, such as creating cool Trax, Astra Astra, who Equinox exploration industry and so on.
and distinctive older Commodore Ute, the Regal “throne” after no more pickup models, and now in Oceania can buy Ute, only derived from the Chevrolet Colorado, also put Horton logo. GM Group Only a few sports cars do not put Horton logo in Oceania, for example Camero, Corvette.
As for the other country’s models, mainly in New Zealand is that some personalized car, civilian population of New Zealand is really nothing to pursue the car, to buy food Japanese commuter primary election .
journey from the motherland met twice this brand, good like Harvard!
by vehicle type divided?
The most common models are compact hatchback of course, like just talked Corolla, Mazda 3, are in power hatchback. In addition, most vehicles to New Zealand this picture types can be summarized by the following – wagon, SUV, pickup truck.
visible, requirements for New Zealanders car really is skills-oriented, what high-tech stuff, and what trend of things, are not a fly Corolla. Because New Zealand is both personal high-income countries, which means that people are very expensive, in this place, the high labor costs of repairing a car, it can not repair do not repair, minor maintenance Han, he can start work oil change is best.
for a pure electric car is not much to see in New Zealand, the first in Auckland to see I-Pace Jaguar and BMW i3 are all fate, then it did I have not seen these two electric cars. Tesla amount is not much, the tram is the most common everyday Leaf Leaf, but the absolute numbers are small.
how the car environment in New Zealand?
Some people say that New Zealand is one of the most suitable countries around the world traveling by car, this argument is not Luanche.
First, though small land area of the country, but because people are less, so the density of vehicles on the road as a whole is relatively low. This kind of thing may be in the traffic jam early in Auckland, New ZealandLate summit appeared, but because of good order, even traffic jams, traffic efficiency will not be very low, which is different from our domestic situation.
but also because fewer people and less car, even to go to some of the tourist attractions, the parking spaces are quite well-off. In addition, driving the New Zealand camp construction are more hardware and software services in place, coupled with the country scenery, pleasant climate, it is particularly suitable for traveling by car.
But if you want to go to New Zealand traveling by car, it must first of their driving skills and driving habits to do a self-assessment.
New Zealand because of the traffic is very particular about the order, so the traffic must be civilized, such as what turn to make straight, around the island and out of order, etc., must be observed.
and even pedestrians must obey the traffic rules, go horse crosswalk, not running red lights, etc., if the car hit the driver in the case of full compliance with the laws and regulations of the TA Luanchuanmalu you, then you are sacrificing TA damages, many Chinese-style traffic used to go to other countries will become very dangerous.
There is a driving skills, in fact, the road in New Zealand are relatively old, despite seeing refurbishment in some way six-lane around Auckland, but the progress is quite slow. New Zealand was one of the first countries in the world have the highway, the reason to add “one” because many countries have considered himself first built the highway.
concept of the highway, however vague, with regard to New Zealand, for example, only around major cities such as Oakland freeway only with our traditional knowledge in the highway somewhat similar.
In fact, even these so-called two-way six-lane highway, in our country is more often called expressway. The intercity highways of New Zealand, are some 9 18 bends of the mountain road, two-lane two-way, but this way is called the New Zealand highway, the speed limit is 100km / h. Speak true, such a road, in the words of China, Cheng Si speed limit is 40 bar.
which makes driving in New Zealand is a very interesting thing for a lot of driving skills is not enough skilled people, perhaps no oneGood thing. New Zealanders drive very quickly because they are really against the speed limit on the open two-way two-lane winding road these, so if there is slow, then it’s easy to form long queues of vehicles. If you do not open quickly, until the locals have the opportunity to exceed your time the way give you a little strange look, we can not blame on others.
but the car can still stretch a little, no problem running against the speed limit, because before there will be a number of sharp bends recommended speed signs and markings, also on the road in New Zealand this “highway” painting is very clear and Science, plus the traffic participants are to comply with traffic rules, so the efficiency of the road in New Zealand is high and safety.
say a digression, rutting monarch came to New Zealand also found here is very suitable for car reviews, first, because the road is good, easier to try out good or bad performance of the vehicle, Second, the camera viewfinder is very convenient, less people. It seems that we can think about the development of this business.
As for oil prices, New Zealand and most petrol stations provide only two kinds of fuel – petrol and diesel, only a few petrol stations will provide a better quality of extra gasoline. Petrol station prices of different brands or regions will have some differences, based on my observation of the way, the price of gasoline in general between 2.1 to 2.3 per liter of the New Zealand dollar, more expensive than China.
New Zealand car expensive?
absolute price of new cars, the prices a little higher in New Zealand than in China, such as the Civic 1.5T official guide starting price of NZ $ 39990, or about 180,000 yuan, slightly more than domestic expensive; BMW 520i’s starting price of NZ $ 102,800, or about 462,600 yuan, about 10 percentage is slightly more expensive than domestic.
Of course, prices have now linked to the level of income to income New Zealanders to measure, in fact, buying a car is very easy, especially in the pursuit of what New Zealanders car yet , active on the line, no wonder ranking highest in the world per capita ownership of.
compared to the new car market, New Zealand’s second-hand car market is more vigorous, since there is no annoying emissions lawRegulation and restriction policy, vehicles are able to survive very long time, so I spent a little bit of money to buy a used car is to tinker with the level of play, anyway, playing bad on the exchange chant.
rutting monarch after passing a group of odd to 达克赖斯特彻 car sales shop, and did not hold back, foot mortar round. Unfortunately, that day is Sunday, New Zealand talent does not stay in the shop waiting for you to stitch, 15:00 knock off from work on the day you say cool bad mood? So only their own Xia Guang, just hope no one will treat me as car thieves.
I did not hold back the reason to visit the 4S shop is passing the time to see a Mazda dealer parked in front of a brand new Mazda 3 hatchback, this car Well, Changan Mazda probably will not determine the domestic, as Mazda’s senior fans + owners, no way not to be attracted.
New Zealand is starting to sell Mazda 3 2.0L displacement, and test drive this car is probably the top with a 2.5L, the price close to 50,000 New Zealand dollar , not cheap. The SkyActiv-X compression ignition engine of concern to everyone, not being New Zealand, so do not complain about the Changan Mazda. Responsibly say that the new hatchback horses 3 real car so cool, but I do not know is there fate goodbye side.
and later went to a Subaru dealer, I walk. Encountered two hard, it was the same price as NZ $ 59990, is a Levorg, one is the WRX STi, if it is you, who would you choose to do your “studying artifacts”?
body in the fortunate in
New Zealand all about cars are really let rut Jun envy, good car, good roads, good policy, but New Zealanders like the car as seeding for money, really want to describe them as “the body in the fortunate.”
In short, the island nation of New Zealand great extent than previously imagined to go higher, so will go, and no less than once went to see if You can not point the way to new car evaluation?
