ʻO nā kaʻa haʻahaʻa maikaʻi loa
… a me nā kaʻa kālā kūpono e holo ana mai nā lumi hōʻikeʻike Australia.
ʻAʻole i manaʻo hou ʻia kahi kī liʻiliʻi weliweli i ka makahiki 2011; Mai $11,790 no ka Suzuki Alto a i $12,990 no ka Nissan Micra, aia kahi koho o ʻelima mau puka hatchbacks i ʻoi aku ka palekana, ʻoi aku ka lako a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
He ʻumi makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi loa ma ka mākeke kūloko he $13,990 ʻekolu-puka Hyundai Excel a me ka $13,000 Daewoo Lanos.
Mai ia manawa, ua lele ka awelika o ka loaʻa kālā o Australia i ka 21% ma nā huaʻōlelo maoli, e like me ka ACTU, ʻoiai ua hāʻule ke kumukūʻai o ka ʻaila mai 80 keneta o ka lita a i $1.40 a ʻoi aku paha.
Akā, ua hāʻule nā kumukūʻai kaʻa ma ke ʻano maoli, mahalo i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hoʻokūkū, kahi kālā ikaika a me nā hōʻailona hou e hele mai ana mai Kina.
ʻO ka ʻenehana e kahe mai ana mai nā kaʻa pipiʻi a i ʻole e like me ka mana kūpaʻa i kauoha ʻia e nā luna i hana i kēia mau kaʻa kālā i ʻoi aku ka nani ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
ʻO ka mea hana Malaysian ʻo Proton kekahi o nā mea mua i hōʻemi i nā kumukūʻai kūʻai aku i mua o kahi hoʻouka kaua weliweli mai Kina, e hoʻokuʻu ana i ka sedan $11,990 S16 i loko o ka mākeke kaʻa kaʻa i Nowemapa i hala.
I kēia manawa ua alakaʻi ʻo Suzuki i ke kumu kūʻai. (A ʻo Proton, me nā lako liʻiliʻi e kali ana e pani i kahi kumu hoʻohālike ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma hope o kēia makahiki, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohālikelike i ka S16.)
Loaʻa i kā lākou mau hoa paio a pau he mau hale hou. ʻOiai ua lohi ka mākeke kaʻa holoʻokoʻa, i lalo o 5.3% makahiki-ke-makahiki, ua hāʻule ke kūʻai aku o nā kaʻa kaʻa he 1.4% wale nō. Ma kahi o 55,000 mau kaʻa māmā i kūʻai ʻia ma ka hopena o Mei, ʻo ia ka lua o ka hapa nui ma hope o nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi a ma mua o nā kūʻai kūʻai SUV compact.
Ua ʻōlelo ka luna nui ʻo Suzuki Australia ʻo Tony Devers, ua ulu nui ka māhele kaʻa kaʻa i loko o nā makahiki ʻelima i hala aku nei i ka lilo ʻana o ka poʻe Australia i ke kūlanakauhale a ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kaona.
Wahi a Suzuki, hāʻule nā mea kūʻai kaʻa i ʻelua mau kahua: ke ʻimi nei ka poʻe ma luna o 45 i ke kaʻa lua, a ke ʻimi nei ka poʻe ma lalo o 25 i ke kulanui a me ke kaʻa ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale.
"He aha ke kaʻa ʻehā a ʻelima paha makahiki me ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻokele waiwai a me ka palekana?" Wahi a Devers.
waiwai
I kēia mau lā, loaʻa iā ʻoe ka nui kamahaʻo o ka pahu i loko o kahi kaʻa haʻahaʻa: nā aniani uila (ma nā mea āpau akā ʻo ka Alto), ea ea, nā hiʻohiʻona palekana he nui, nā puka makani (ma mua wale nō, akā ʻehā ma Chery), a me nā ʻōnaehana leo maikaʻi. .
He $1200 wale nō ma waena o nā mea kūʻai loa a me nā mea pipiʻi loa, a ua kokoke loa ka waiwai kūʻai hou.
ʻO nā ana o nā kaʻa he like nō hoʻi, e like me ka mana. Pono ʻoe e lilo ʻo Mark Webber e haʻi i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka mea ikaika loa (Alto 50 kW) a me ka ikaika loa (Chery 62 kW).
Ua lanakila ka Micra ma ke ʻano o ka Bluetooth, USB input, a me nā mana leo huila hoʻokele, akā ʻo ia ke kumu kūʻai nui loa.
ʻO ka Alto ka mea liʻiliʻi loa, akā ʻaʻole ia e poina i nā mea pono he nui ma mua o nā aniani uila. A no ka $700 hou aku, loaʻa i ka GLX nā kukui noe a me nā huila huila.
KEKAHIKI
ʻO nā kaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ʻehā a mākou i hoʻāʻo ai e hele mai me kahi au hou o nā ʻenekini haʻahaʻa. Ma Micra a me Alto, ʻekolu mau pahu mana kēia. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona ʻekolu-cylinder he ʻano liʻiliʻi i ka hana ʻole, akā no ka waiwai i hoʻonohonoho lākou i ke ala no ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā kaʻa kūlanakauhale. I nā kūlana ola maoli, ua paʻakikī ke hoʻoholo i nā ʻokoʻa o ka mana.
"He mea kupaianaha kēia mau mīkini ʻekolu-cylinder," wahi a William Churchill, ka mea hoʻokipa malihini. "He wikiwiki loa lākou no kahi ʻekolu." Mai kahi hiʻohiʻona haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, paʻakikī ke hoʻokaʻawale ma waena o ka laka a me ka wehe ʻana i nā pihi ma Alto a me Chery keyfobs, ʻoiai ʻo ka Micra e hoʻohui i kahi pihi kaʻa ʻimi e hums.
mea i manao ai
ʻO ka Micra ke nānā aku i ka mea makua a me ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, ua nalowale kona mau maka bug i ka facelift hou loa. Noho maikaʻi nō hoʻi ia ma nā huila me nā hakahaka liʻiliʻi i loko o nā pio huila.
Ua ʻōlelo kekahi o kā mākou mea hoʻokele hoʻokipa, ʻo Amy Spencer, makemake ʻo ia i ke ʻano like me SUV o Chery. Loaʻa iā ia nā huila hoʻoheheʻe a me ka nani o loko.
Ua hele ka poʻe Kina e hoʻonui i ka lumi o ka hale, ʻoiai inā nele nā noho i ke kākoʻo a ʻaʻole maikaʻi kekahi o nā kikoʻī. Ua like ke ano o Alto a me Barina. Ma loko, loaʻa iā lāua nā noho ʻoluʻolu a kākoʻo, akā ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka kamepiula ma luna o ka Holden a paʻa i ka heluhelu maʻalahi.
Ua like ka nui o ke kaʻa ma nā kaʻa ʻehā, ʻoiai ʻo ka Micra ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lumi wāwae hope a me ka wahi kāmaʻa, aʻo ka Alto he pahu liʻiliʻi.
Ua loaʻa pū ʻo Chery i nā helu mai Spencer mai no kāna keʻena mālama lima ma ka dashboard.
Ua ʻike pū ʻo ia a me kāna hoa hana manawaleʻa hoʻāʻo ʻo Penny Langfield i ke koʻikoʻi o nā aniani vanity ma nā visors. He ʻelua mau aniani aniani ʻo Micra lāua ʻo Barina, ʻo Chery kekahi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke kaʻa a ʻo Alto kekahi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka mea hoʻokele.
KEKAHI MALU
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Langfield ʻo ka palekana kekahi o nā mea nui e noʻonoʻo ai.
"ʻO ia ka mea āu e hopohopo nui nei me kahi kaʻa liʻiliʻi," wahi āna.
Akā ʻaʻole i manaʻo ke kumukūʻai e ʻimi lākou i nā hiʻohiʻona palekana. Loaʻa iā lākou a pau ka mana paʻa uila, ABS a me ka puʻupuʻu uila uila.
Loaʻa iā Chery nā ʻeke air ʻelua ma mua, akā hele mai ke koena me ʻeono mau ʻeke air.
Wahi a ka Australian New Car Assessment Program, he ʻekolu hōkū ʻo Chery, ʻo ka Barina a me Alto ʻehā mau hōkū, a ʻaʻole i hoʻāʻo ʻia ka Micra, akā ʻo ke kumu hoʻohālike mua me nā ʻeke air mua ʻelua wale nō ka helu ʻekolu-hōkū. .
HUAKAI
Ua lawe mākou i kā mākou mau mea hoʻokele manawaleʻa ʻōpio ʻekolu i kahi huakaʻi pōkole a puni ke kūlanakauhale me nā puʻu he nui a me kekahi mau huakaʻi holo kaʻa. Ua pilikia iki ka Chery no ka hele pololei ʻana i waho o ka pahu, ua uhi wale ʻo ia ma kahi o 150km a ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mea i ka hoʻāʻo.
Ke u'i mau nei paha nā ka'a, akā a hiki i ka wā i pumehana ai, ua palupalu. A laila ua ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī, ʻaʻole naʻe i manaʻo.
He kani kani ka leo o ka ea Chery i loko o ka peʻahi, e nalowale ana ma hope o kekahi manawa.
Ua ʻike nō hoʻi mākou he wili liʻiliʻi ia ke hoʻokomo ʻoe i ka puʻupuʻu i loko, e hōʻike ana paha i kahi throttle pipili ʻoiai ʻo ia ka mea hou.
Eia naʻe, loaʻa iā Chery nā loiloi maikaʻi mai nā wahi āpau no kāna ʻenekini pane a "wikiwiki". Eia naʻe, ua ʻike ʻo Langfield "he lohi iki ka piʻi ʻana i luna".
"Ua lohe au i ka hype āpau e pili ana i ke kaʻa ʻoi loa, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o koʻu manaʻo," wahi āna. Ua hauʻoli ʻo Spencer i ka ʻōnaehana kani: "He mea maikaʻi ke hoʻohuli ʻoe i ka mana."
Akā naʻe, ua aloha koke ʻo ia iā Micra.
"Ua makemake au i kēia kaʻa mai koʻu wā i hoʻihoʻi ʻia mai ke kahua kaʻa. He wikiwiki loa. Makemake au i nā aniani nunui. Makemake au i ka hāʻawi ʻana o ka dashboard i kahi wahi. ʻAʻole piha ma ʻaneʻi.
Ua makemake pū ʻo ia i ka hoʻoponopono kiʻekiʻe o ka noho ma ka Micra a me Suzuki: "He mea ʻoluʻolu no ka poʻe pōkole."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Churchill he maʻalahi ka heluhelu ʻana o nā ana o ka Micra a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi ka hoʻokele leo huila.
ʻO "Smoothness" ke ʻano o Langfield i wehewehe ai i ka mana, ka neʻe ʻana a me ka maʻalahi.
“He ʻōnaehana leo maikaʻi kāna. Nani a kiʻekiʻe ka lekiō," wahi āna, me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka leo ma Triple J. Makemake ʻo ia i nā kīʻaha ākea.
ʻO Barina kahi kaʻa kūlanakauhale hilinaʻi, lōʻihi a ikaika. "He maʻalahi ka hoʻokele, akā ʻo ka pale LCD ma ka dashboard he mea hoʻohilahila a paʻa loa," wahi a Churchill. Ua ʻae ʻo Langfield, akā ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "Ua maopopo iaʻu e maʻa ʻoe iā ia ma hope o kekahi manawa."
Ua makemake ʻo ia i ka "hoʻomaʻamaʻa maʻalahi" akā ua ʻike ʻo ia "ʻaʻole hoʻomaha iki i kekahi mau wahi, akā hoʻomaka ia i ka wā e pono ai ʻoe."
Pīhoihoi ʻo Suzuki i ka poʻe a pau me kāna ʻenekini puʻupuʻu ʻekolu. "Hele ʻo ia i ka wā āu e makemake ai iā ia. Ua ʻoi aku ka intuitive a me ka pane ʻana, "wahi a Langfield.
Akā ke kanikau nei ʻo Spencer i ka nele o ka wahi pahu. "ʻAʻohe hele wāwae hopena pule me kēia mau kāmaʻa."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Churchill he maʻalahi ka hoʻololi ʻana a maʻalahi hoʻi ka paʻa ʻana. "ʻO ke ala maʻalahi ke noho i lalo a hele wale."
TOTALOA
He kāhāhā maoli nō ʻo Chery. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ko mākou manaʻo a loaʻa iā mākou nā loiloi maikaʻi no ke ʻano, kani a me ka mana.
ʻO Barina ka mea palekana, ikaika a hilinaʻi hoʻi, ʻoiai ʻo Micra ka mea i hoʻomaʻemaʻe loa ʻia, ʻoiai ke kumu kūʻai nui loa. Akā pono mākou e ʻae me nā mea pāʻani.
ʻOiai ua loaʻa iā mākou nā wahi maikaʻi a ʻokoʻa hoʻi ma nā ʻehā, mahalo mākou i ka mākaukau a me ke kumukūʻai o Suzuki ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi o kēia pūʻolo.
ʻO Langfield ka ʻōlelo hope loa: "Ua ʻoi aku kēia mau kaʻa a pau ma mua o kaʻu kaʻa, no laila ʻaʻohe aʻu mea e hoʻopiʻi ai."
