The new Elantra competitive analysis
as a heritage for over 30 years and has a groundbreaking global strategic model, the Elantra in China already has 460 million users, the status of the car in modern like the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, like Yu, the play bears the brand’s sales.
radical designs like a double-edged sword, like its much praise, not like to see so scoffed. Indeed, the feedback I get in this car is designed for many, especially 70, 80, later said it was not easy to accept.
Of course, this is only appearance, a whole new generation Elantra will enter the Chinese market in the third quarter of 2020.
into the country will be called “What action”
a whole new generation Elantra drastic improvement is simply to grab more market share, especially the young, to maintain a strong competitive force.
Although Prior to this, it is sold in China has exceeded 4.6 million, but could continue brilliant, but also on the final pricing and configuration.
Another problem is that previous generations Elantra importing country, will take the name “What action”, such as Yue, Long move, move collar. So the question is, if you import the new Elantra of Beijing Hyundai, what move would call it? [END]
