2. product competitiveness analysis

the above manufacturer's suggested price only represents the price on august 9, 2024. if there is any change, please refer to the official website

the domestic 100,000-200,000 yuan plug-in hybrid suv market has become a battleground, so we selected two models with similar positioning and prices, namely the 2024 byd song l dm-i and the 2023 haval second generation big dog new energy.

in terms of body size, the three models are relatively close, with body lengths exceeding 4700mm. in terms of exterior design, chery fengyun t10 and byd song l dm-i are more sporty, while haval 2nd generation big dog new energy is closer to hardcore suv design. in terms of body structure, the three models all adopt a load-bearing design and are positioned as urban suvs. in terms of cost of use, byd song l dm-i has the lowest wltc comprehensive fuel consumption among the three models, while haval 2nd generation big dog new energy has the highest among the three models, and is quite different from the other two models.

in terms of price, the 2024 chery fengyun t9 has the lowest starting price, and consumers have the least pressure to buy a car. the top models are the 2023 haval 2nd generation big dog new energy and the 2024 byd song l dm-i, both priced at 175,800 yuan. in terms of the number of models, the 2024 chery fengyun t9 has the most optional models, offering 6 models, and two optional seat layouts of 5 and 7 seats. in contrast, the 2023 haval 2nd generation big dog new energy has the fewest optional models, currently offering only 3 models for consumers to choose from.

specifically in terms of vehicle configuration, we selected models with prices as close as possible. by comparison, the 2024 chery fengyun t9 has a good configuration. compared with competing products, it not only has the longest wltc pure electric range, but also has exclusive start reminders, voiceprint recognition, front seat ventilation, driver's electric seat memory and multi-color interior ambient lights, and the price is also the lowest among the three models. by comparison, it can be found that although the price of the 2023 haval second generation big dog new energy is much higher than the other two models, there is still a certain gap in configuration with the 2024 chery fengyun t9, and the cost performance is average.

3. product quality & service trend analysis

as a new model, will chery fengyun t9 have hidden dangers of quality problems? to this end, we will start with the failure problems of chery tiggo 9 in the past year, and through the comparison of failure problems, we can preliminarily predict the development trend of new car quality problems in the future. since tiggo 9 and fengyun t9 are both built on the mars architecture-super hybrid platform, the two are deeply related and can be used as a reference.

by screening the complaint data of chery tiggo 9 in the past year, we can find that the fault problems are relatively scattered, among which the complaints of "paint bubbling and cracking" are relatively concentrated. since chery fengyun t9 is a brand-new model and is positioned as a "new luxury product" by chery, it is bound to have stricter quality control, so the above problems are unlikely to occur. however, the actual situation will not be determined until it is put on the market and used for a period of time.

with the continuous development of my country's automobile market, the level of pre-sales/after-sales service of brands and the quality of the purchasing experience have gradually become important factors affecting consumers' final purchases. therefore, based on the big data of chezhi.com, we will analyze the common service problems of brands in the past year to provide consumers with a more objective reference for purchasing models.

from the perspective of service complaints, "system upgrade issues" have become the service issues that car owners complain about the chery brand more frequently. further analysis shows that this type of service problem comes from models such as tiggo 8 plus, tiggo 8 pro, and tiggo 7 plus.

in terms of measuring the reputation of new car after-sales service, we will analyze the company's response to car owners' complaints and make a relatively objective prediction of the new car's future after-sales service reputation. according to the data from chezhi.com, the response rate of chery brand complaints in the past year was 96.4%, which shows that the manufacturer attaches great importance to the demands of car owners.

iv. after-sales service policy and network distribution

in terms of after-sales service policy, the chery fengyun t9 has a vehicle warranty of three years or 100,000 kilometers, and the first owner has an unlimited warranty period/unlimited mileage (the liability exemption clause is subject to the official). in addition, those who purchase the chery fengyun t9 within the specified period can also enjoy a lifetime warranty on the three electrics worth 6,000 yuan, a charging pile and installation service worth 3,000 yuan, 2 years of free entertainment traffic (2g/month), lifetime free basic traffic (exclusive for the first owner), lifetime free roadside assistance, lifetime vehicle fota upgrades, etc. (please consult your local dealer for details).

after purchasing a vehicle, it is inevitable to involve daily maintenance of the vehicle. at this time, the number and distribution of brand dealer stores are very important, and may even have a certain impact on whether consumers buy the brand model. according to statistics from chezhi.com, chery currently has 1,303 dealer stores in china, covering 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, among which guangdong, shandong and sichuan provinces have relatively more dealers.

summarize

as an important strategic new car of chery in the new energy market, fengyun t9 has the selling points of excellent power performance and high cost performance, which is also in line with the needs of target customers. compared with the same level of competing models, chery fengyun t9 has certain advantages in comprehensive competitiveness. combined with chery automobile's certain reputation accumulation in the domestic market, the new car is expected to achieve good market performance in the future.
