Why Jeep is not fragrant

This is a seemingly unexpected news, but in fact it is unexpected.

Before analyzing Jeep's problems, we should first understand Stellantis Group, which consists of Fiat Chrysler (Fick for short) and PSA Group, and PSA brands include Peugeot, Citroen and ds (Goddess Car). Is it strange that the two major European car companies that focus on fast-selling cars are already warming up? After all, China, as a global production and sales country, users will have higher and higher requirements for vehicle quality, and brands that cannot grow with users' needs will always be eliminated; Chrysler, once the most famous automobile brand in the United States, was "lost" after being acquired by Fiat.

Jeep had a joint venture with BAIC and GAC, and after breaking up with BAIC, it "sank" for a while, and then chose GAC from 20 15; Within two years after the joint venture, the sales volume reached the peak of 17.99 and 222,300 respectively, but it turned sharply from 20 18. What makes the cars such as Freedom Light, Guide, Freedom Man and Big Commander unpopular? Let's watch the free light first.

Fick Free Light is the first joint venture car of this joint venture brand, and the problem of this car is "Tigershark-engine".

In short, the quality problem of Tiger Shark series engines is serious, and the engine burning problem of this car is very serious; Its 2.4L naturally aspirated model consumes up to one liter of engine oil per 1000 km. According to the national fuel consumption ratio, the highest fuel consumption of this car is only 1 10,000 kilometers. Obviously, this engine has design defects, but personally, this is the real level of European car companies; Reference to the public &; BBA, these brands still have a lot of car oil, and the more powerful options will be more serious, which means that Fiat's engine oil is not a case.

However, Fiat has no brand influence. Twice because of low sales (poor vehicle quality), he withdrew from China automobile market, and his brand image was poor. Jeep has long been replaced by domestic SUV/ORV in the B-end camp. Without the brand head effect, it is difficult to succeed simply at the C end, especially for these joint venture vehicles with outstanding quality problems.

These problem engines are also used in the Jeep- Guide launched later, which is the only car of this brand that can really drive; Because the price is lower and the size is reasonable, to put it bluntly, it is bigger than the entry-level Freeman and more acceptable as a compact car. Then, as the core model of the brand, this problem also exists, and the brand image is naturally getting worse and worse; It can be said that all jeeps sold in 1-3 years are "thunder", and in the end they can only hit themselves.

Therefore, the follow-up sales will drop from last year's 12.52 and 73600 to 40500. What standard can Jeep reach in 2026, 5438+0? It may be difficult to break through 1.5 million units throughout the year, because the brand's recent single-phase sales are only a few hundred units. According to this curve, the annual scale should be between 1.4- 1.5 million units.

The second problem is the "double DRYVE" gearbox.

Jeep in the first stage was blown up by Fiat's engine, and then GSE T-4 1.3T in-cylinder direct injection engine performed well. There is no problem of burning engine oil at present. The key point is that the power performance of this 1.3T has surpassed the old 2.4L, and the naturally aspirated engine is really behind.

But after changing the engine, the gearbox became very bad again.

This is the CP of Freeman and Guide. Among them, 7DCT-dual dryve is a seven-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox, which is a gearbox jointly manufactured by Fiat Technology and Iveco, and was once used in Fiat cars. How did ChristianRandPhillips stop production while waiting for the bus? The reason is that the engine gearbox level is low, but the engine is ok. The gear shift of gearbox clutch is serious, abnormal sound, clutch wear is serious, and it is prone to high temperature. The high temperature will exceed the threshold and activate the protection program, which will cause the engine to limit power or even break down. This problem is quite common in Feixiang, and Jeep is no exception.

9AT gearbox comes from ZF (horizontal). ZF is a well-known gearbox manufacturer in Germany, and like Gertrak, its reputation is really bad! Gertrak's DCT is used in many brands, and the evaluation is "well known". General car companies will consider developing DCT independently, and the level is generally relatively high. The popularity of ZF is mainly used by BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Jeep and other brands, but if you are familiar with these cars, don't you know that they all have common problems of oil leakage and gear shifting frustration?

The problem of the first generation ZF 9AT gear shifting frustration is equally prominent, although the advantage of AT is only durability, which has little to do with ride comfort itself. However, many joint venture car users generally think that at is better, boasting dreamily, so users will have high expectations for this model. So whether Jeep is1.3t&; The evaluation of 7DCT version is still the combination of 1.3T, 2.0T and this 9AT, and the evaluation of the two assemblies is always bad; Based on the impact of the previous engine, it is an inevitable result that Jeep is marginalized.

Comments: Fick Jeep has no future. At present, 4.753 billion debts are insolvent. The reserved Changsha plant has an annual production capacity of 6.5438+0.64 million vehicles, but the annual sales volume is difficult to exceed 6.5438+0.5 million vehicles. The key is to have a reasonable inventory. Therefore, the capacity idle rate of Changsha factory will also be high. Some employees have been "on vacation" for more than half a year, and Fick Jeep has also begun to lay off employees for the factory.

These foreign automobile brands, which do not show sincerity and have no technology, will eventually fail, whether they are joint ventures or other ways to build cars; Jeep may not last long, and sales of GAC Mitsubishi are also very low. It is not difficult to predict when these two fields will last. This may be the reason why GAC will focus on building its own brand (Chuanqi/Ai 'an).
