Big dogs, white cats, wild horses, jaguars and pandas name cars after animals.
When it comes to naming new models, at present, the most concerned are the Euler White Cat and Haval Big Dog under Great Wall Motor. The reason is also very simple. They are all named after animals. Although this naming method is not common in China, it is not uncommon for the public to know that models named after animals are not uncommon. Today, Auto-First will take stock of the models named after animals.
Volkswagen Beetle is the most common model named after animals. Since its birth in the 1930s, this car has been with Volkswagen for nearly 90 years, and it can be called a "living fossil" of the Volkswagen brand. This model is named Beetle because its appearance is the best interpretation. No matter how the car is redesigned and replaced, it always maintains a vivid beetle shape.
Guanggang brand is not well-known in China. As a local Japanese brand, the low cost performance and unsatisfactory performance make it impossible for Guangzhou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to become the mainstream, but the return rate of Guangzhou Iron and Steel brand models, especially the Guangzhou Iron and Steel Giant Snake, is beyond doubt. Naked snakes are sports cars. Its power is average, its control is average, and its workmanship is average, but its price is generally not well evaluated by Japanese media. But why is the return rate high? Because the appearance of this model named serpent is also creepy. Not as fierce as a sports car, but it has a scary snake element, which is very vivid.
Toyota Sea Lion can be regarded as the originator of domestic vans. Although today's commercial MPV has evolved, we can also see the shadow of the van from the Jinbei sea lion, the product of Toyota's cooperation with Brilliance Auto. Toyota sea lion was born in 1967. The original model is quite similar to the embarrassing sea lion in body lines and front face modeling. Although there is no animal element in today's new car, the named sea lion is still preserved.
Perhaps the popularity of Plymouth cars is not low. As a car brand launched by Chrysler in 1927, Plymouth is naturally not immune with the silence of a large number of American car brands. For Plymouth, there is a muscle car-barracuda. The previous models of barracuda have been equipped with engines up to 7.0L, which shows what a real "Rockefeller family strategic partner" is. For rude American car brands, they are often keen to name new cars with animals, but most of them choose animals that symbolize sports and passion. Although it is undeniable that barracuda may swim fast, Plymouth barracuda is so named because of its face value.
As far as domestic cars are concerned, I believe everyone has a certain impression of Geely Panda bombed by safety advertisements. As an early model of Geely, the positioning of Geely Panda is the same as that of Chery QQ. The reason why it is named Panda is also obvious in appearance. This seems to be a cute little panda. Today, Geely Panda has already stopped production, which makes Auto-First feel sorry. This is a car that can evolve into a domestic competing car, but it ended the product cycle early.
Compared with Geely Panda, the visibility of Brilliance Chinese Dolphin is relatively low, and although this car has been discontinued for a long time, it still does not lose the competitive products in the market segment. Even in the eyes of many consumers, the new Fit is difficult to match it, and the rounded shape and the front face shape are also very vivid, resembling dolphins. It should be noted that at present, the maximum power of the three-cylinder engine used by the nearest 20 15 Chinese dolphin is only 65kW, but it is regrettable that it failed to sell well with reference to the starting price of only 39,800 yuan at that time.
As we all know, Chery's SUV models all have the same name-Tiggo. In fact, whether it is the first generation of Tiggo models or the current Tiggo 3X, Tiggo 5 and Tiggo 8, they all exude the appearance of a tiger, which is attributed to the roaring grille and tiger pupil headlights of the Tiggo family.
Indeed, many new models of car companies are named after animals. Yan value is on the one hand, but more is not Yan value, just to compare the characteristics of their own products, especially sports genes. In addition, there are many models to highlight the product meaning.
Fu Mustang is almost the most familiar model named after animals for consumers, especially young consumers. Although the Wild Horse has been registered in China and can only be called Wild Horse, consumers are still willing to call it Wild Horse. As a sports car model owned by Ford, this name is adopted to tell consumers that this car is as energetic as a wild horse. It is worth mentioning that wild horses also have independent "horse marks".
Audi A4 is a leader in the domestic luxury mid-size car market, and its original model is named Audi 80 just like Audi 100 before Audi A6. In 1970s, Audi 80 entered the American market, but this car did not adopt the name of Audi 80, but adopted the name of Audi Focus, which is commonly used in American cars. Focus is characterized by flexibility. Audi Focus is trying to tell American consumers that although this German luxury car with excellent space is not as powerful as the American muscle car, its handling is his highlight.
Pajero, the star model of Dakar Rally, is a household name in China. Mitsubishi's embedded girder and super-selected four-wheel drive system give this car endless charm, and consumers all know that Pajero also has a kind name-Bobcat. In fact, Bobcat is not the nickname given to Pajero by consumers, but its Chinese translation. "Pajero" comes from Latin and refers to the bobcat, a cat that lives in Argentina.
In fact, Geely Beauty Leopard is a car of great significance to its own brand, which makes many post-70s and post-80s realize the unreachable dream of sports cars. But now, it seems to be the black history of "independent brother". The leopard itself symbolizes movement and wildness. Tiger, leopard, lion and horse are the common naming methods of performance cars, but the beauty leopard not only has no leopard attributes, but also does not bring beauty, so the "born extraordinary" beauty leopard has become the black history of Geely Automobile.
Subaru brand models are also keen to adopt animal names. Legacy and Outback are both models we are very familiar with. It is worth mentioning that, as an import-dependent brand, coupled with huge negative entanglement, Subaru's sales in China have been declining in recent years, while its medium-sized car is in name only. However, in Auto-First's view, this car is a very productive model. Although it is slightly more expensive than Accord and Camry, the price of high-end models is still within 250,000, and the price of low-end models is equivalent to that of Accord and Camry, but Lishi has the advantages of original import, horizontal opposition and full-time four-wheel drive.
At the end of the "third generation" era (Santana, Jetta, Fukang), a new generation of "magic car"-Li Xia appeared in China. At the same time, the similarly positioned Changan Suzuki Antelope is also a good model. In terms of price, although the antelope is higher than Li Xia, the endorsement of the joint venture brand is also a big temptation. After all, the "Suzuki" logo is actually hung on the front. It's only been more than ten years now. Li Xia and Changan Suzuki have failed one after another, and the memory of a generation has ended.
Bluebird is one of the most influential models of Nissan brand, which was born in 1959. It conveys happiness to more families. With factors such as face value, space and comfort, Bluebird became the first choice of Japanese nationals at the moment of post-war economic recovery. Today's bluebird is not the bluebird it used to be. Whether the Bluebird puts on Sylphy or adopts a brand-new LANNIA, Bluebird has never left the consumer's field of vision. Who cares if it's pure?
