Super Car Sales System

Chapter 164 GS4
Chapter 163: GS4
The car dealer system did not provide Ma Hong with this information. In fact, it cannot be considered that the car dealer system made an error, but Ma Hong himself was not aware of this aspect.

Ma Hong doesn't know, but it doesn't mean Fang Yuan doesn't think about it.

Because the 4 and 2020 models of GAC Trumpchi GS2019 only have manual and AT gearboxes, the AT gearbox is still the reliable Japanese Aisin.

However, the 2015 to 2018 models all have three types of gearboxes, namely dry dual-clutch, manual and AT gearboxes.

GAC Trumpchi GS4’s dry-type dual-clutch gearbox has serious problems, mainly concentrated in abnormal noise, shifting frustration, stuttering, etc., which greatly affects the user experience and driving experience of car owners, and largely overdraws consumer trust. It is said that the sales of GAC Trumpchi GS4 have declined, and it is also one of the culprits. Later, after the 2019 model, this culprit was finally abandoned.

The engine of GAC Trumpchi GS4 is turbocharged from beginning to end, and it is divided into two types of four-cylinder engines: 1.3T and 1.5T.

The combination of naturally aspirated engine and manual gearbox that Fang Yuan imagined is unnecessary, but Fang Yuan does not want to recommend the 1.3T to Ma Hong, its power is a bit weak, everyone is young, Fang Yuan can understand that It's a crazy feeling that the accelerator pedal is stepped on the engine compartment while driving, and the power is still weak.

According to Fang Yuan's plan just now, the 1.5T engine is best matched with a manual transmission.

This combination has strong power, durable leather, fuel-efficient and worry-free, and low maintenance costs. The most important thing is that second-hand cars with manual transmission are cheap. You can buy a 2018 model with a very high-quality car for about 2019 yuan. If you are lucky, you can even buy a [-] model. money.

What if you can't do it manually?
What if you don't want to step on the clutch frequently when you are stuck in traffic?
There is really no other way, and Fang Yuan recommends matching it with Aisin's 6AT gearbox. As for the dry dual-clutch with poor reliability, no matter how cheap it is, it is not within Fang Yuan's recommendation.

With a plan in mind, Fang Yuan tentatively asked Ma Hong, "How about using the manual transmission?"

"Not so good." Ma Hong smiled wryly, saying that his oil-disengagement coordination was a complete mess. He was always unable to find the clutch joint point, and the engine often stalled at the start.

Ma Hong has become like this, so what else to say?
Fang Yuan directly passed the most economical, most durable, and most preferred recommended combination.

"According to your situation, I recommend you the 2018 235T automatic two-wheel drive elite version." Fang Yuan explained that the 2018 GAC Trumpchi GS4 of Zhenghong Motors was licensed in January 2018 and has a mileage of 01 kilometers. , Landed 3.5 yuan that year, and now Zhenghong Motors has a listing price of 13.44 yuan, and the transfer is included, but insurance is not included.

"It will be licensed in February 2018?"

"3.5 kilometers?"

"It used to cost 13.44 yuan, but now it only costs 7.9 yuan?"

"It seems that it is right to buy a domestic car." Ma Hong is very satisfied with the age and mileage of the car, and what makes him even more gleeful is the price of 7.9, which is almost tailor-made for him.

However, Ma Hong couldn't believe it when faced with such data. The price has been cut in half in two years. Could it be that he was fooling himself?
"That's true, I didn't lie to you." Fang Yuan smiled wryly, explaining that the sales volume of GAC Trumpchi GS4 is not as good as before, and the value retention rate of domestic used cars is mostly not good, so the price is very cost-effective and suitable for long-term holding. If Ma Hong planned to change the car after driving for a while, he would still feel ashamed and hide in the toilet to cry.

"I didn't plan to change the car, at least I didn't have such an idea in the last five or six years." After losing almost half of the loss in two years, Ma Hong could imagine the tragedy when he sold the car after driving for a year or two.

"I want to see this car." With such favorable conditions, Mahon was already looking forward to seeing this car.

"Okay, please come with me."

Fang Yuan led Ma Hong to the right side of the aisle, and the two walked side by side. Ma Hong suddenly asked: "Isn't this 2018 model the highest configuration? Is the configuration low?"

"No." Fang Yuan said truthfully that the configuration of the 2018 235T automatic two-wheel drive elite version he introduced to Ma Hong was indeed much lower than that of the 2019 and 2020 top models.

三者都是前置前驱的5门5座SUV，2018款和2019款的长、宽、高都为4525毫米，1852毫米，1685毫米，轴距2640毫米。

However, the length, width, and height of the 2020 model have become 4545 mm, 1856 mm, and 1700 mm, and the wheelbase has also increased by 40 mm. All sizes are slightly larger, and the corresponding trunk volume is also larger.

However, the gearbox, chassis steering system and safety system are not much different, and all the necessary configurations are available. Some joint venture cars with more than ten or hundreds of thousands of yuan do not have configurations, such as electronic parking, uphill assist, steep slope descent, etc. They even have brake assist, brake force distribution, etc., and the high-end models of the 2020 and 2019 models only have more tire pressure monitoring functions than the 2018 235T automatic two-wheel drive elite version.

"There is not much difference between these three models." Ma Hong was a little excited, feeling like he had picked up a treasure and taken advantage of it.

"You misunderstood. I mean, they all use Aisin's AT gearbox, the suspension is the same, and there are still quite a few differences in engine and multimedia configuration."

相比2019款和2020款的高配，2018款235T自动两驱精英版广汽传祺GS4没有全景摄像头、全景天窗、远程启动、皮质方向盘、前排座椅加热功能。

The full LCD instrument panel is only available in the 2020 model.

The 2020 2019T automatic two-wheel drive elite version with a high ratio of 2018 and 235 has added GPS navigation system, road rescue call, Internet of Vehicles, etc. in terms of multimedia configuration.

它们用的发动机型号为4A15J1，最大马力169匹，而2018款的发动机型号为4A15M1，最大马力只有152匹。

"Huh? So much difference?" Ma Hong didn't have much requirement for power, he didn't care how much horsepower the engine had, but he was a little disappointed that the multimedia configuration was so low.

In fact, Fang Yuan wanted to say that even with a budget of 2019 yuan, he couldn’t buy high-end models of 2020 and [-] models. Because he was afraid of hurting Ma Hong’s self-esteem, he temporarily changed his words and said: “I think as long as there is not much difference in the main configuration, you don’t particularly care about it.” Motivation, some gaps in multimedia are still acceptable.”

Fang Yuan took those famous models with durable leather as examples, and told Mahon why Toyota's Helix, Land Cruiser, and 4Runner are reliable in quality and durable in leather. As long as they are maintained on time and correctly, they will never lose their chains?
It is because they try to avoid too many electronic devices in order to maintain stability. Of course, it can also be said that the configuration is so low that they are crazy.

Models worth hundreds of thousands, or even 60 or [-] yuan still have manual air conditioners and mechanical instrument panels, just in case they break down in the wild, so as not to delay major events.

Therefore, the audio-visual system failure that will occur in the high-end models of the 2019 and 2020 models will not occur on the 2018 235T automatic two-wheel drive elite version, because it has no configuration at all.

Ma Hong is a little bit reconciled to the low multimedia configuration, but he also understands that he wants a car with a short age, low mileage and high configuration, and wants to spend less money. How can there be such a good thing?
My own budget is not enough, so I can only choose from domestic models.

Ma Hong lowered his head and was a little unhappy, but he didn't speak, which was acquiescence to the reality that the configuration was higher than that of the 2019 and 2020 models.

As a family car, Fang Yuan specially introduced the white paint to Ma Hong. When the two walked to the front of this Trumpchi GS4, they saw the inverted trapezoidal air intake grille, which was very similar to the Nissan Teana just sold. .

It's just that the air intake grille of Nissan Teana is integrated, and the air intake grille of this family's Lingyun wing seems to be cut off with a wider chrome-plated decorative strip, and then stacked layer by layer, making it appear more three-dimensional , the area is also larger, very eye-catching.

The headlights on both sides are closely connected with the black air intake grille, and the turn signals are interesting in the shape of three boomerangs, which caught Fang Yuan and Ma Hong's eyes.

However, Fang Yuan knew that the headlights were halogen. Fortunately, the light was more concentrated with the lens, and he was a little relieved in regret.

The four thick ridgelines on the hood extend forward to the chrome-plated decorative strip on the top of the air intake grille, especially the two outermost ridgelines each have a slope, and the rich lines and curved surfaces form a strong three-dimensional sculpture. The wheel eyebrows below obviously expand outwards, like a wide body kit, full of muscles and more sporty.

"Very nice." Ma Hong nodded with a smile, as if very satisfied.

"It's really good." Fang Yuan agreed with Ma Hong's opinion. As a second-hand car salesman, the front faces he has seen are either sharp and angular, or round and soft, and there are even cute ones like BMW mini and FJ Cruiser. It is rare for this GAC Trumpchi GS4 to have such a novel design. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been made in the appearance.

He took two steps to one side and looked at the side of GAC Trumpchi GS4. Ma Hong's eyes were suddenly attracted by the roof that seemed to be hanging in the air, and he couldn't help but turned his face and asked Fang Yuan: "Is this modified later?"

Looking in the direction of Ma Hong's finger, Fang Yuan found that the D-pillars at the rear of the car, including the front C-pillars and B-pillars, were all black, as if they had disappeared and hidden, forming a seamless integration with the dark rear windows. The visual effect gives people an illusion that the roof and the body are separated, as if suspended in the air.

"It's not a modified one, it's called a floating roof." Fang Yuan told Ma Hong that this kind of floating window design used to be unique to luxury cars like Land Rover. In its own design, 80.00% of the models include low-end MPVs like Dongfeng Suike.

Ma Hong was very satisfied with the floating roof, but he immediately discovered a problem: "The front windows and the rear windows are of different colors, and the original owner's film has not been all pasted, isn't it too stingy?"

Faced with the customer's complaints, Fang Yuan gave a wry smile. Ma Hong really wronged the original car owner. The dark glass of the rear window came with the original car and did not have a film on it. This not only protects the privacy of the passengers, but also saves the car owner on the film. money, save time and effort.

As for the front glass without film, it’s not that the original car owner was stingy. This is to learn from luxury cars like Maybach and Rolls-Royce, so that the car owner can observe the road conditions and pay more attention to safety.

"So the GAC Trumpchi manufacturer is quite considerate for car owners."

"Of course, not only this detail, you come to see here..." Fang Yuan led Ma Hong to the car door, opened it and pointed to a red light on the inside of the door, "This is the night warning light. When the door is temporarily opened, it serves as a warning to the vehicles behind to pay attention to safety. With such a thoughtful design, most luxury cars have welcome lights on them, but most of them don’t have this.”

"And this." Fang Yuan pressed the fuel tank cap button, led Ma Hong to the side of the fuel tank cap, pointed to a buckle and told him that this is where the fuel tank cap is placed. The car body is placed, which saves staining the car paint and liberates the car owner.

"The details are really in place." Ma Hong was very happy and lamented GAC Trumpchi's hard work.

But when Fang Yuan closed the fuel tank cap, Ma Hong suddenly found a problem, and asked curiously: "Why are some fuel tank ports on the left side of the car body, and some on the right side of the car body? Was it randomly designed?"

"Why are some fuel tank ports on the left and some on the right?" Fang Yuan explained to Ma Hong whether the fuel tank port is on the left or the right, the first consideration is safety.

In the past, the iron fuel tank was used, and it was easy to leak oil, catch fire and explode after a severe tail impact, but the fuel tank could not be placed in the front.

Considering the safety of passengers, the designers first used resin fuel tanks, and secondly put the fuel tanks on the side that is least likely to be hit by the rear.

Some countries in the world drive on the right, such as China, the Bald Eagle Country, Germany and other countries.

Some countries drive on the left, such as Japan, Britain, India and other countries.

Some experts have calculated that for cars in countries that drive on the right, the most vulnerable position to be hit by rear-end collisions is the left rear, so the fuel tank is placed on the right side of the body.

For cars in countries that drive on the left, the position that is most vulnerable to rear-end collisions is the right rear, so the fuel tank is placed on the left side of the body.

Another reason is to consider the counterweight to balance the weight of the whole vehicle and improve driving comfort.

For example, the German designers not only considered safety, but also considered the issue of weight and comfort.

Because when driving, there are many situations where only the driver is in the car, and the weight of the car will tilt to one side at this time.

Therefore, car designers put the fuel tank on the other side, so that even if there is only the driver in the car, it will be more balanced. Especially for high-end racing cars and sports cars, they pay more attention to these details.

Fang Yuan told Ma Hong that if it was the first time to drive someone else's car, and he didn't pay attention to which side the fuel tank was on before getting in the car, and he didn't want to stop to check before entering the gas station, many models now have a display on the dashboard. Refueling icon with an arrow, the arrow points to the right, indicating that the car's fuel filler is on the right, and the arrow points to the left, indicating that the car's fuel filler is on the left.

As for the fuel ports of Huaxia models, some are on the left and some are on the right. Those international car companies all copy their domestic designs and don't want to spend money to change the body structure to adapt to China's national conditions.

"It turned out to be like this. I thought it was designed casually." Ma Hong looked at Fang Yuan a little excitedly, but he didn't expect Fang Yuan to actually answer.

Fang Yuan chatted with Ma Hong, and the two walked to the rear of the GAC Trumpchi GS4.

Compared with the layered, very sporty and more sculptural front, the rear has no complicated lines, and the design is much simpler and cruder.

The only thing that caught Ma Hong's attention was the bilateral single-exit exhaust pipe. It is not only big in shape, but also has chrome decoration on it, which looks very sporty and handsome under the light.

"Fake." Fang Yuan told Ma Hong that the bilateral single-exhaust exhaust of GAC Trumpchi GS4 is just a decoration. In winter, it is very embarrassing to park side by side with the real bilateral single-exhaust models, because the two exhaust pipes There is no smoke at all, and the real single-side single-exit exhaust pipe is hidden below, and it is thin and small.
