二手油车不太好卖，合资车高保值神话被打破

Core Viewpoint - The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation as traditional fuel vehicles face increasing competition from electric vehicles (EVs), leading to a decline in the market share and resale value of fuel vehicles [4][5][10]. Market Trends - In July, the retail penetration rate of new energy vehicles (NEVs) in China's passenger car market reached 54.0%, a year-on-year increase of 2.7 percentage points. Cumulatively, 6.455 million NEVs were sold in the first seven months of the year, representing a 29.5% year-on-year growth [4][16]. - The second-hand fuel vehicle market is experiencing downward pressure on prices, with average inventory cycles extending to 43 days and 35.6% of businesses facing cycles over 30 days, indicating increased operational pressure [5][21]. Resale Value Decline - The resale value of previously high-value brands like Toyota and Honda is declining, with the three-year resale value for Toyota dropping to 56.6% from 83.24% in 2021, and Honda to 57% from 78.19% [10][13]. - Specific examples include a two-year-old Toyota Camry priced at 12.96 million yuan, reflecting a 65% resale value, down from higher values in previous years [6][8]. Shift to New Energy Vehicles - The second-hand market for NEVs is growing, with penetration rates rising from 8% to 9.9% in recent months, indicating a shift in consumer preference [16][18]. - Some second-hand car dealers are increasingly focusing on selling NEVs to compensate for the declining profits and sales of fuel vehicles [5][20]. Consumer Behavior - Consumers are showing a preference for NEVs, with many second-hand car dealers reporting that the inventory of NEVs is now greater than that of fuel vehicles [18][20]. - Despite the growth of NEVs, fuel vehicles still maintain a significant market presence, with many consumers still willing to purchase them if priced competitively [21].
