ʻO kēia ka hopena o nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi e like me kā mākou i ʻike ai? ʻO ka Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, Hyundai i30 a me nā hatchback liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe hiki ke pilikia i ka nalowale ʻana i ka wā e hoʻololi ai nā mea kūʻai aku i nā SUV.

ʻO ka Toyota Corolla ke kaʻa liʻiliʻi kūʻai maikaʻi loa ma ka ʻāina, akā ua hōʻole ke kūʻai aku.

ʻO nā kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi e like me nā hatchbacks a me nā sedans kekahi o nā ʻano kaʻa punahele ma Australia.

Eia naʻe, e like me ka ʻikepili kūʻai aku, hiki i nā kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi ke lilo i mea o ka wā ma mua.

He hoʻololi nui ia i hāʻawi ʻia i ka kaulana o nā hatchback liʻiliʻi a me nā sedan i hoʻokahi ʻumi makahiki i hala.

Hōʻike nā helu kūʻai no 2010 i nā kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi ka ʻāpana kaʻa nui loa ma ka palena nui. Ua helu lākou ma kahi o 239,000 mau kūʻai aku, e hōʻike ana i ka 23 pakeneka o ka mākeke holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ka mea kokoke loa he mau kaʻa kaʻa māmā me 13.3%, a laila nā SUV compact me 11.1%.

I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ʻelima mau kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi a me hoʻokahi kaʻa kaʻa i hana i ka papa inoa o nā kaʻa kūʻai maikaʻi loa he 10. ʻO ke koena he ʻekolu mau kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa nui a me hoʻokahi kaʻa kaʻa.

ʻO nā kaʻa Subcompact ka Toyota Corolla, ʻo ia ka lua o ke kaʻa kūʻai maikaʻi loa i kēlā makahiki me 41,632 mau ʻāpana, ʻo 4000 wale nō nā ʻāpana ma hope o ka Holden Commodore. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe i ka 2010 kiʻekiʻe no 10 mau makahiki ʻo Mazda3, Hyundai i30, Holden Cruze a me Mitsubishi Lancer.

ʻOi aku ma mua o 20 mau makahiki i hala, ma 2000, ʻo nā kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi he 27.8% o nā kūʻai kaʻa hou a pau, a ʻo nā kaʻa kaʻa nui e like me Commodore a me Ford Falcon ʻo ia wale nō ka ʻāpana me ke kūʻai kiʻekiʻe (35.9%).

Ma 3 ua piʻi ʻo Mazda i ke kumukūʻai me ke kumu hoʻohālike hou. (Kiʻi kiʻi: Tom White)

He moʻolelo ʻokoʻa loa ma 2021.

I ka hopena o Nowemapa, 93,260 mau kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi i kūʻai ʻia, he emi o 4.8% i 2020.

Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Corolla i ka ʻāpana me 27,497 makahiki a hiki i kēia lā ke kūʻai aku a ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea pāʻani nui me Hyundai i30 (23,334), Kia Cerato (17,198) a me Mazda3 (13,476).

Nui nā kumu no kēia.

Ma 2021, ʻo kēia ʻāpana he 10.6% o nā kūʻai āpau a aia i kēia manawa i ka wahi ʻelima ma hope o 4 × 4 pickups (18%), medium SUVs (17%), SUV liʻiliʻi (13.7%) a me nā SUV nui (12.8%). .

Hōʻike kēia i ka hoʻololi ʻana mai nā kaʻa kaʻa i nā SUV. ʻOiai ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka hapalua i loko o hoʻokahi makahiki, ua hoʻonui ʻia ke kūʻai ʻana o nā SUV liʻiliʻi a me ka māmā ma kahi o 60,000 mau ʻāpana i ka makahiki mai nā helu 2010.

ʻO ka VW Golf haʻahaʻa loa hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i nā kumukūʻai ma lalo o $30,000 ma mua o nā lilo huakaʻi.

ʻO ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka holo, nā mea hoʻolālā chunky, a me ka ʻike ʻana i ka hiki ke hele ma waho o ke alanui ua alakaʻi i nā mea kūʻai aku e neʻe nui mai nā hatchback liʻiliʻi i nā SUV liʻiliʻi.

Ma muli o ka emi ʻana o ke kūʻai ʻana o nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi, nui nā mea hana e hoʻonohonoho hou i kā lākou mau hatchback.

Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma kahi o $ 20,000 mau kumukūʻai ma mua o ka huakaʻi no kahi kumu hoʻohālike me kahi pūʻolo liʻiliʻi a neʻe i luna mai laila, ke hāʻawi nui nei nā mea hana kaʻa i nā koho liʻiliʻi i ka waena waena a i ʻole kiʻekiʻe. A pili pinepine kēia me ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe.

Nui nā laʻana o kēia. Hoʻomaka ka hanauna o kēia manawa ʻo Mazda3 a me Toyota Corolla i ke kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ko lākou mau mua. Ua piʻi ke kumu kūʻai hoʻomaka o Mazda3 i $ 4500 a ma kahi o $ 25,000 ma mua o ka huakaʻi i ka wā i hōʻea ai ke kumu hoʻohālike hou i 2019, aʻo ka Corolla o kēia manawa ua lele ʻo $ 2680 ma luna o ke kumu hoʻohālike kahiko ma 2018.

Ua piʻi aʻe nā kumukūʻai mai ia manawa, me ka 3 i kēia manawa e hoʻomaka ana ma $26,340 me ka ʻole o ke kaʻa. He $1000 ka Corolla i kēia manawa ma mua o ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai a hoʻomaka ma $23,895.

'A'ole like 'o Kia Cerato e like me ia ma mua.

Hoʻomaka ka Volkswagen Golf Mk 8 waena o ka makahiki ma $29,550 (BOC) no kahi manual entry-level, ma kahi o $3500 ma mua o ke kumu Golf 7.5.

Ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻo Honda i nā kumukūʻai i nā pae hou me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 11^thHatchback hanauna civic. Loaʻa wale ia i hoʻokahi ʻano kūikawā - no kēia manawa - kūʻai ʻia ma $47,000. ʻO ia ka $16,000 ʻoi aʻe ma mua o ka VTi-S i wehe mua ʻia a waiho ʻia ma ka ʻāina ʻo BWM a me Mercedes-Benz.

ʻAʻole ʻo Kia a me Hyundai e pāʻani hou ana i ka māhele kaʻa liʻiliʻi he $19,990. Hoʻomaka ka i30 Luke i kēia manawa ma $23,420 (BOC) a hoʻomaka ka Cerato ma $25,490, ʻoiai e ʻike ʻoe i nā makana ma kahi o $25,000 no nā hiʻohiʻona ʻelua kokoke i ka makahiki āpau.

Ua haʻalele loa nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe i kēia māhele.

Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Ford i nā ʻano ST like ʻole o kāna hatchback Focus haʻahaʻa ʻole ma Australia, ma hope o ka ʻoki ʻana i ke kaʻa kaʻa nani ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki i hala.

Pēlā nō, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Renault i nā papa Megane āpau koe wale no ka RS hot hatchback.

ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻana o Honda i ka hoʻolālā ua hopena i ka piʻi nui o ke kumukūʻai no ka Civic hou.

ʻO ka haʻalele ʻana o Holden i pepehi i ka Astra, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Nissan i ka Pulsar i 2017, a ua holo hope ʻo Mitsubishi i waho o Lancer stock i 2019. Ua haʻalele ʻo Kia i ka Soul a me Rondo i ʻelua mau makahiki i hala, a e nalowale koke ka Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

No laila he aha ke ʻano o kēia no ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi? Ke hoʻomau nei ka emi ʻana o ke kūʻai aku ʻoiai ke koho nui nei nā mea kūʻai aku i nā SUV like ʻole. Hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻalele i nā hiʻohiʻona hou aʻe, ʻoi aku me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka electrification. ʻAʻole maopopo ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka Golf ma mua o ka hanauna o kēia manawa e like me ka manaʻo o VW e hoʻonui nui i kāna puka kaʻa uila.

Aia kekahi mau lono maikaʻi i ka wā pōkole no ka poʻe pā o nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi, me nā hiʻohiʻona hou e pā ana i nā lumi hōʻikeʻike i ka makahiki aʻe.

E hōʻea mai ana ka hanauna hou Peugeot 308 hatchback a me ke kahua kaʻa kaʻa i ka hapaha mua o 2022, e hāʻawi ana i ka hoʻolālā nani, ʻenehana hou a me nā wahi o loko. ʻO ka hōʻailona hou loa o ka Volkswagen Group, kahi lālā o Seat Cupra, e hoʻokuʻu i ka Leon hatchback ma waena o XNUMX ma ke ʻano he koho no ka Golf.

Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana, e ʻike ʻo 2022 i ka hōʻea ʻana o ka Golf R, a me nā hatchback liʻiliʻi e like me Skoda Fabia a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
