Mercedes-Benz recalled again, and all the recalled vehicles belong to Mercedes-Benz high-end flagship models, including imported off-road vehicle Mercedes-Benz G-Class (also known as Mercedes-Benz Big G), Mercedes-Benz S-Class luxury sedan and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT supercar. The number of recalled vehicles exceeded 6,000.
The specific recall information is as follows: 1: Some imported Mercedes-Benz G-class cars produced from May 25th, 2065438 to1October 23rd, totaling 165438. 2. Recall some Mercedes-Benz G-Class, S-Class and Mercedes-Benz AMG GT produced from May 20 18 to August 6, 20 19, with a cumulative number of 599 vehicles. 3. Recall some imported Mercedes-Benz G-class cars produced between May 25th and September 24th, 2012008.
For the above recall, we will not discuss specific issues first. From the vehicle grade alone, whether it is Mercedes-Benz G-Class, S-Class or AMG GT, it is the flagship model of Mercedes-Benz in the market segment, and the price of each model is more than one million RMB. According to a certain voice, is it true that the higher the price, the more problems there will be? For this reason, we can't help but ask Mercedes-Benz, as a car-making enterprise with a history of more than 100 years, whether the frequent recalls, various design defects and failures really conform to our true understanding of the century-old luxury car brand?
In fact, talking about Mercedes-Benz is equivalent to talking about the luxury car market in China. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi have always been the leaders in the domestic luxury car market, and their influence is not comparable to that of other luxury brands. However, when we look for the keyword "Mercedes-Benz recall" from search engines, most of its titles are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of recalls. In addition, problems such as "Mercedes-Benz broken shaft", "Mercedes-Benz reduced distribution" and "Mercedes-Benz electronic failure" emerge one after another. Basically, from 20 17, Mercedes-Benz embarked on the road of complaint and recall.
Judging from the penetration rate of luxury car market in China in 20 18, it just exceeded 10%. Compared with the penetration rate of American luxury brands in 2008, China's luxury car market still has a lot of room for development in the future. More and more luxury brands, whether entering the China market for the first time or continuing to take root in the China market, all embody China luxury cars.
However, when we look back on the development of Mercedes-Benz in China, we will find that when Mercedes-Benz completed the model upgrade through thorough redesign and renaming, it began to make great strides in the China market. But today, it seems that Mercedes-Benz is a bit "overexert", with frequent problems, and netizens began to give it the name of "decoration company".
In addition to Mercedes-Benz cars, the Tesla brand has also been criticized. In short, whether it is a traditional luxury car enterprise or a new energy high-end car enterprise, it still needs to do practical things in order to gain greater market development and market space. After all, for consumers who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, they are more concerned about the quality and service of products, which is not a recall.
