In the past year (2021.07.01-2022.06.30), a lot of changes have taken place in the automotive consumer market – the chip shortage almost runs through the whole year of 2021, and intensified in the second half of the year, and the terminal delivery of new cars has become an absolute pain point for manufacturers; The clear goal of “Double Carbon” and the release of the comprehensive work plan for energy conservation and emission reduction have caused more auto manufacturers to announce the countdown to stop the sale of fuel vehicles, and the competition on the new energy track has become more intense; the sudden impact of the epidemic has caused the national new and second-hand car market to fall into a trough; The long-awaited policy of lifting the relocation restrictions on used cars has been officially implemented; the frequent rights protection incidents of various brands have dampened the consumer confidence of users.
As the comprehensive value of a car, the value retention rate is reflected in the overall value of a car. After this year, what changes have taken place compared to the 2021 Chinese car value retention rate rankings?
■ Comprehensive comparison of preservation rate
The overall trend of preservation rate is rising, especially for new energy
As of the date of data statistics (2022.6.30), the annual value preservation rate has increased as a whole. Imported cars will be suspended due to chips and the epidemic in the second half of 2021, and the market supply and demand imbalance is particularly obvious. Therefore, the value preservation rate has risen more than joint ventures and domestic products.
In terms of countries, the average value preservation rate of British cars has risen the most, while Japanese cars have risen the least. The traditional value preservation image of Japanese cars has undergone some changes in the past year. There are also many traditional value preservation rates in the following paragraphs. The first car series has declined. It also shows the decline of Japanese cars in the used car market.
In terms of brands, Porsche has been ranked as the most value-preserving fuel vehicle brand. Lynk & Co has benefited from its newer product line and stable market performance in the past year, and its value-preserving rate has increased the most. Into the top 10 in the overall list. In addition, Japanese Shuangtian has become the only brand whose value preservation rate has encountered Waterloo.
In the list of new energy brands, Bentley and Krypton both landed at the top of the list with their powerful products. In addition, new faces such as Lantu, Jihu, and Feifan also performed well; Euler, GAC Aian and With the popularity of new cars, Tesla’s sales volume has doubled year-on-year, and the value preservation rate of the used car market has also increased by more than 10%. Compared with the traditional fuel vehicle market, it is clear that the value preservation rate of new energy vehicles has increased in the past year. There are also earth-shaking changes.

1. Small car & compact car list – Japan’s decline is beginning to appear, and appearance is justice
As the first choice for grocery shopping, small cars have lost a lot of market share after being eroded by new energy vehicles in recent years. Except for the extra playful sophistication of MINI, other car series have basically been defeated. At the same time, with the launch of the new Fit GR9 last year, it is reasonable that the preservation rate of the old Fit GK5 has declined.
The competition for compact cars is still very fierce. The Civic and Fit encountered the same replacement impact last year, and the value preservation rate of the old models has declined, but even though there are new samples (2019 models) from Ralink and Corolla, they have entered the value preservation list. However, compared with other replacement products, the value retention rate still does not have much fluctuation. With the change of consumption concept and the improvement of the overall quality control of the market, now it is no longer possible to support the golden brand with reliability and economy alone. The slump and the difference in retention rates between the old and new models also testify to the current status of the two car lines.
However, the BMW 2 Series, Volkswagen Beetle, Lynk & Co 03 and MINI all had a gratifying increase in their value retention rates. In addition to the influence of factors such as the waiting period for new car delivery and the suspension of production, these four car series have a large number of young and energetic fans just by virtue of their appearance design. Beauty is justice, and it is a direct summary for the list of small cars and compact cars.
2. Medium-sized car & medium-large car list – the champion is no longer a leader, and the new generation products are sought after
Medium-sized cars (below 300,000) are still ranked in the top four by the sister products of the Japanese Shuangtian. Except for the Asian Dragon and the British Pie, which were only included in the statistics this year, the Camry and the Accord are both at the end of the product cycle and are regulars on this list. It is also understandable that there is a slight decline in the hedge rate. FAW-Volkswagen CC has a good value preservation rate due to the iteration of the sample year model.
Audi S4 is the champion of medium-sized cars (over 300,000), but its value retention rate has been declining compared to last year. Its potential is on the to-be-buy list of many car lovers. However, because this generation is also approaching the end of the cycle, the loss of car conditions in the car source is gradually increasing, coupled with the long-term car pickup cycle last year, and the ensuing price increase also makes the S4 stay on most people’s to-be-purchased list , the sharp decline in the value preservation rate in the past year also shows that many people finally gave up buying S4 in frustration.
In the medium and large car value preservation list, Lexus ES used to be proud of its selling points – free maintenance, reliability and peace of mind, but it can’t hold up a golden sign in today’s market. The value preservation rate of Audi A7 has been greatly improved due to the replacement of statistical samples for value preservation. On the one hand, Maserati Ghibli has become the main force in the new car market due to the 2.0T vehicle source.
SUV articles
1. Small SUV & Compact SUV List – No surprises, no surprises
Small SUVs and small cars have encountered the same problem – new energy cannibalize market share, but compared with the small car list, the more balanced competition pattern among various brands in the small SUV market has also made the preservation rate not much changed.
The compact SUV also did not change much, and the Haval M6, a dark horse, with its competitive pricing, made its used car value retention rate climbed steadily last year. Audi Q3 has been included in the sample statistics due to the replacement of products, and the value retention rate has been greatly improved compared with last year. Although Acura announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market, in the past year, the preservation rate of Acura CDX has increased a lot, perhaps because many potential customers cannot buy new cars and can only buy second-hand Acura.
2. Mid-size SUV list – Highlander is sober in the world, Wrangler is expected to win the championship
In the past six months, the market of the second-hand Highlander is the epitome of the shaky whole second-hand car market. Similar to Highlander, the top brand in the used car trading market in the past (hereinafter referred to as “Highlanders”), used car merchants often bid very aggressively – because they don’t worry about selling, it’s okay to make less money, but they will definitely not smash their hands. . With such a mentality, everyone’s bids have gradually become aggressive. With the supply of new cars that became more and more stretched due to the reduction of new car production last year, the used car volume and used car prices of “Highlanders” have also reached their peaks.
The epidemic has poured cold water on this big drama of drumming and spreading flowers. Due to the financial pressure brought by the long-term trading suspension, many car dealers began to sell car sources, and a large-scale low-priced Highlander began to be thrown into the market. As for other used car sources, Highlander has a more homogeneous product style (single color, similar models, and similar car conditions), and at the same time, there are fewer regional price differences (the national car dealers all liked Highlander before March this year. up), so the competition at low prices has become more and more point-to-point, followed by a huge decline in the preservation rate. On the other hand, the Highlander product itself is indeed very balanced and has a wide range of applicable groups, but is it really worth adding 10,000 to 20,000 yuan when buying a car? Is it really worth 20% off for three years? This issue has yet to be verified by time.
In the list of medium-sized SUVs (over 300,000), although the champion is still the Porsche Macan, the popularity of the second-place Jeep Wrangler after being replaced and replaced with a 2.0T has been directly reflected in the preservation rate – more Powerful, better-driving, and more modern, the Wrangler has completely retained the traditional tough-guy style, but also began to show the tender side of the tough guy.
3. Medium and large SUVs, large SUVs & MPVs – still dancing in the crowd
Mercedes-Benz Big G, Lexus LX, Alphard, just like the Achilles heel of this list, some readers have been questioning why we use the guide price for the preservation rate this year, does this mean that the Three years later I can still make money with this car.
I would like to take this opportunity to explain to you again, because the discount rate, price increase and optional price of new cars fluctuate with the market, trading environment and consumer preferences, and cannot be accurately and real-time reflected in the value preservation rate, so we We still use the manufacturer’s guide price to calculate the value preservation rate. If you need to calculate the damage and use cost of the vehicle, I would trouble readers to do a little calculation, and estimate it by the total purchase price of the new car – the vehicle guide price * the value preservation rate.
Closer to home, the champions and runners-up in this list have become a common topic. Because the price increase is outrageous, the value retention rate of Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Alpha has been high. Among them, the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class sample (W464) is included in the statistical scope. The value preservation rate has increased by nearly 20%; because the new car emissions are not up to standard, some cities have suspended sales, and the Lexus LX used car source is the only choice.
However, with the lifting of the restrictions on the relocation of second-hand cars, the six cities in the country can also allow cars such as Lexus LX to be licensed by moving in from other provinces and cities. Down, we will continue to pay attention.
4. Top 5 Chinese brands in 100,000-200,000 categories – mixed
For the 2022 annual list, we have counted the most mainstream price range of Chinese brands in various categories of value preservation lists. Among them, the MPV champion is the Trumpchi M8, the SUV champion is the Beijing BJ40, and the sedan champion is the Lynk & Co 03. In recent years, Chinese brands have continued to make efforts. In addition to the popular car series that have been on the list for three years, there are also products such as Roewe iMAX8 and Tank 300 that have not been included in the statistics. In the sedan market, except for the Lynk & Co 03, the value retention rate of No. 2 to 5 has not exceeded 60%. It is hoped that Chinese brands can develop in a balanced manner.
■ New energy vehicle preservation list
Pure Electric
1. Pure Electricity List – Like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pears bloom
2021 is regarded as the first year of the rise of new energy vehicles, and this statement has also been fully confirmed by the value preservation list. Compared with the 2020 models and samples we counted in last year’s annual list, the one-year sample we counted today is also a product value answer sheet for new energy vehicles.
In the pure electric list, except for the Porsche Taycan, which continues to top the list with its brand premium and optional price increase, the rest of the car series on the list are all new cars that will be launched in 2021. Not only that, these new cars on the market actually have a wealth of used car transaction samples for us to calculate the value preservation rate.
Extremely Krypton 001 has become the most valuable Chinese brand pure electric car with an impressive value preservation rate of 88.57%. The value preservation rate of Tesla Model Y and GAC Aion Y also exceeds 85%. If the total purchase price is calculated, let the fuel car add more value. If you compare the purchase tax (about 8.5%) with these new energy players, I am afraid there are not many that can match it.
The most valuable sedan below 150,000 is the BYD Dolphin, followed by the Volkswagen ID.3, and the SUV is the GAC AION Y. The list of cars below 150,000 also shows that in the eyes of current consumers, pure electric vehicles It is the best choice for transportation tools – firstly, manufacturers are gradually transforming from oil to electric to pure electric platform. Thanks to the innate layout, the car can give ample space; secondly, the motor has abundant low torque and fast response, Compared with the previous small-displacement self-priming fuel vehicles at this price level, it is better to drive and maintain. Finally, and the most practical reason, pure electric vehicles are too economical compared to the skyrocketing fuel costs.
In the price range of 150,000 to 250,000, Xiaopeng P7 and Xiaopeng G3 won the champions of these two lists respectively. The P7 is the kind of car that is difficult to pick out. The interior and exterior design, ride control, cruising range, The interaction between the car and the machine is very balanced, and the P7 seems to see a shadow of Lexus entering the domestic market at the beginning of the year. Moderate and not mediocre, it is the philosophy believed by the Orientals; the value preservation rate of Xiaopeng G3 has increased by 13.06% compared with last year. For the new energy vehicle series with statistical comparison, this increase is not much, but the increase in the preservation rate is due to the real product remodeling-after the great success of the P7, the G3 passed the modification The model has been replaced with a more endearing family front face, and has been upgraded in many places, while retaining its original product features – excellent battery life and a pleasant and clear driving experience. North and South Volkswagen ID.4 followed closely. The main reason for the 3% difference in value retention rate between them is that the acceptance of pure electric vehicles in the north is not as good as that in the southern market due to environmental problems in winter, but for the product itself, the ID.4 There is no essential difference between X and ID.4 CROZZ. The increase in the retention rate of Feifan Motors MARVEL R is compared with its predecessor, the Roewe MARVEL X. In addition to the improvement of product power brought about by product replacement, its more reasonable pricing is also one of the main reasons.
In the list of more than 250,000, I finally saw Tesla. Model 3 is the pure electric car with the largest volume of used car samples. The value of its value preservation rate and its rise and fall can also represent the overall market to a certain extent. With the exception of the Taycan and Model 3, all the lists above 250,000 are new faces who have just been on the market for a year. All the eye-catching new products have excellent value retention rate performance.
Plug-in hybrid electric articles
Plug-and-mix new energy list (including program extension) – it will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains are not small
The Bentayga PHEV is at the top of the hybrid list for three reasons. One is that the official price has increased, the second is that the car is unavoidable from the purchase tax, and the third is that the car is rich in options, compared with the runner-up Cayenne New Energy and the third runner-up Porsche Panamera New Energy , more than anything. Let’s take a look at the last few more down-to-earth ones-Wrangler New Energy’s proud value preservation rate also proves the success of this replacement. Putting aside the hybrid system, will it bring more power than the traditional fuel powertrain? Aside from the hidden troubles, maybe many people want to own a Wrangler just because they have a heart that yearns for freedom, but the reality is that most of the time they still carry the shackles of the city, so choosing a more fuel-efficient hybrid version is not a sin.
In the Chinese brand hybrid list, BYD accounts for most of the country, and Song PLUS New Energy, Han and Qin PLUS also occupy the first place in their respective subdivided price lists, which fully proves BYD’s profound achievements in the field of hybrid vehicles .
In the subdivision list, the Roewe ei6 MAX is behind Qin PLUS in the list of cars below 150,000. This pair of rivals is not only inseparable in the B-end new car market, but also you are chasing me on the value preservation list, except for BYD and Roewe. In addition to the two products, Borui New Energy is on the list mainly because the official guide price of 21 models has been lowered, which has greatly increased the value preservation rate.
Among the plug-in hybrid cars at the price of 150,000-250,000, the champion is undoubtedly BYD Han. With its rich model configuration, excellent product strength and good market reputation, BYD Han has increased its value preservation rate by more than 10%.
The 250,000-plus plug-in hybrid cars are a piece of PBBA’s singing and dancing, and the value preservation rate has not fluctuated much compared to last year.
In the list of plug-in hybrid SUVs below 200,000 yuan, the Roewe RX5 new energy rose to the third place with an increase of 15.22%. The most conspicuous changes of the 2021 Roewe RX5 new energy are the interior air outlets and suspension screens. The overall temperament It is more in line with the younger appearance design, and the value retention rate has also been significantly improved. With the release of the new RX5 new energy, we also expect the new model’s value retention rate to be further improved.
The top of the 200,000-400,000 plug-in hybrid SUV value preservation list is also a frequent visitor. Ideal ONE. Last year, used car dealers once regarded how much the ideal ONE could sell for as a hot topic, and they also made a wave of “tap water”. After the release, the popularity of Ideal ONE has declined slightly recently, but in terms of product power and market popularity, Ideal ONE still has a place.
Epilogue
The value preservation rate is a comprehensive reflection of the value of a car. The value preservation list in 2022 is also a glimpse of the used car market in the past year. Today, the redemption ratio of domestic car consumers is close to 50%, and the maturity of consumers is constantly improving. Today’s consumers are more and more interested in the value preservation rate of their car, and the future use cost of the vehicle is estimated by the value preservation rate, which is closely related to the vital interests of consumers. The car value retention rate is not only an important reference factor for users to purchase cars, but also an important monitoring indicator for car manufacturers to carry out brand management and user life cycle value management.
