5 Most Valuable Cars in 2011

This is the "world's most valuable car" for the third consecutive year in the "International Business Daily". In 2009, we selected 7 models, 6 in 2010 and 5 models this year. Although the number is decreasing, the basic principle is the same: it is rather unpleasant. There are no car manufacturers are happy, there is no home for everyone, everyone glamorous awards, only strict principles and standards for awards.

But this year, we revised a standard to change “new car listed in the year” to “new car listed since the second half of last year” because we found that some new cars need to be available for a certain period of time due to capacity and marketing. Shows heroic qualities such as the new generation BMW 5 Series. The Geely EC7 list is a special case. Although it was listed on the market in November 2009, it has received the five-star evaluation of the domestic C-NCAP crash test and the European EU-NCAP four-star rating this year. This achievement is in China's own brand. The history of automobile development has an indisputable landmark and deserves special mention.

"The most valuable car" selection criteria:

First, the new car that has been listed since the second half of last year Second, "the most valuable car of the year" must meet at least two of the following three conditions, and "the market segment's most valuable car" must meet at least one:

1: has a new top-level technical or manufacturing process, set a new benchmark for the same level sedan 2: changed the competitive landscape of the market segment level 3: opens up new market segments <br> <br> year's most valuable car New Passat

If, in the past, German cars dominated in terms of technical performance and safety, and were lagging behind Japanese cars in terms of fuel consumption and user-friendly design and configuration, then the new Passat, a new generation flagship model of Shanghai Volkswagen, which will be listed in April this year, will be the symbol. The German car began its era of comprehensive leadership. At that time, "International Business Daily" gave the evaluation: "is a model that can ignore the opponent's existence, went straight to the throne in the mid-level sedan market." In the near-crazy price cut blocking by Japanese opponents, Passat took the throne and led the sales. There is nothing to say. This already shows everything.

The year's most valuable self-owned brand sedan Emgrand EC7

On November 23, Geely Dorsett EC7 (listed in November 2009) and SAIC Motor MG6 won the European NCAP four-star rating, the first to open its own brand sedan in the highest foreign security crash rating. The European NCAP official commented that "this is a landmark event in the Chinese automobile industry." Prior to this, China's autos showed dismal performance in the EU-NCAP: in 2010, Jiangling Landwind CV9 barely obtained a two-star rating in EU-NCAP; and Huachen Junjie received only a zero score in the German security collision agency ADAC (German Auto Club) in 2009. Geely's breakthrough in car safety is no coincidence. In January of this year, the emgrand EC7 won a C-NCAP five-star rating; in 2008, Geely Panda won the first five-star C-NCAP minicar rating. In terms of market performance, from January to November this year, the emgrand EC7 accumulated sales of 86,848 units, ranking first in its own brand of high-end A-class cars.

The Most Valuable Executive Grade Luxury Car of the Year in the New BMW 5 Series

The new BMW 5 Series is the latest generation of administrative grade sedan in the German three, and its leading technology is unquestionable. The design and configuration are also more suitable for the special needs of the Chinese market. After the listing in August last year, insufficient capacity limited its market performance. Since the beginning of this year, the production capacity of the 5 Series has begun to be released. The monthly sales volume has exceeded the 5,000 mark, which is twice that of the previous generation, shortening the distance from the first place in the same class market and opening up the distance from the third place. The medium-large-scale high-end car (C-class car) market structure has been rewritten.

The most valuable new luxury car of the year Audi A8L

No need to figure out how many top-notch high-tech equipment are equipped with the new generation of Audi A8L. From a technical point of view, the world’s top three luxury car brands are in a stalemate you’re chasing after, who’s models are updated, and who’s technology is more advanced, and No one can lead a few years. The difference is that Audi has been at the benchmark level for years in terms of interior workmanship and material selection. As Audi's flagship model, the new generation Audi A8L has only three models since it was launched in China in January this year, and it has encountered price cuts from rivals, but its sales volume has doubled and monthly sales have reached 1400, which has quickly narrowed the gap with its rivals. It also enhances the brand value.

The most valuable high-end mid-size sedan new VOLVOS60

The brand-new VOLVOS60 comes standard with Volvo's exclusive CitySafety urban safety system. The vehicle speed is within 30 km/h. In case of emergency, it can be braked automatically. This sets a new safety benchmark for the same class of cars. Since it was listed on the domestic market in March this year, the new S60 has always been in short supply. Due to capacity constraints, it is necessary to wait for more than 3 months for the vehicle to be provided. There are no concessions for all models. According to relevant statistics, the sales volume of the new S60 this year may be close to 20,000 units. Based on 10 months' calculation, its monthly sales volume has approached the Mercedes-Benz C-class vehicle, changing the market of top-grade medium-sized cars (B-class cars) by the German three teams. The competitive landscape. In addition, as an imported car, the price of the S60 is comparable to that of a domestically-made competitive car, which makes people think of the lethality of their domestically produced products in the future.
