电动化、智能化的发展机遇，造就了汽车行业的新势力，也让汽车的电子消费品特征逐渐显现。而一些传统车企由于难以割舍原有优势等原因呈现出"船 大调头难"的局面。同时，面对汽车消费的新需求、新特征，它们往往也容易落后一拍。于是，面对新的市场竞争态势，主动求变成为传统车企当前的发 展重点。 但笔者认为，在求变的过程中，传统车企也要有所坚持，不能盲目的摒弃优良传统与有益经验，而是要有所坚持、汲取精华，才能在转型中保留"底色"。 就像广汽集团在当前的变革中强调的——"坚持好自己的坚持"。 在这方面，智能化功能的不断提升和丰富是利器。例如，智能座舱的打造，使得用户在出行之际还可以娱乐、工作；汽车也不再仅仅是交通工具，而是了 解用户，能与用户产生共鸣的"伴侣"。传统车企需要认识这种变化，拥抱这种变化，为自己的产品注入这些新的功能价值，为用户创造新的情绪价值，从 而使转型突围水到渠成。 造车是一场"马拉松"，一时的销量落后并不可怕，关键是能有所坚持，勇于改变，打造出满足用户情绪价值的高质量产品，才能保持长久发展的竞争力。 笔者希望，"初心不改，路径要变"能成为更多传统车企变革突围的"底色"。 文：王金玉 编辑：庞国霞 版式：齐萌 ...
