持续了两年多的"价格战"，目前似乎已经来到了一个新的时间节点，已很难对市场形成有效刺激。 全球管理咨询公司麦肯锡近日发布的《2025麦肯锡中国汽车消费者洞察》报告（以下简称"报告"）披露 了这一信息。报告显示，中国汽车市场价格战愈演愈烈，但消费者的回应则难称热情。相比所付出的巨 大代价，"价格战"对销量的刺激已经微乎其微，"价格战"的净刺激效果仅为3.6%（"净刺激效果"指的 是，对价格战持"积极"态度的消费者占比减去持"消极"态度的消费者占比。前者认为价格战刺激或加速 了自己的购车决策，后者认为价格战抑制或延缓了自己的购车决策）。 与之形成鲜明对照的是，消费者对新车型、新技术热情高昂。调研结果显示，消费者对新车型以及新技 术发布周期缩短的热情远高于对价格战的热情：前者的净刺激效果高达10.8%，远超后者 （3.6%）。"价格战"对于消费者的吸引力已不如"技术战"。 "在过去的几年内，我们能观察到大量的车企，在发布了一个令人震惊的低价之后，或许在降价之初能 够掀起一股小高潮，进而获取一定数量的订单；但很快，无节制的价格战就使其难以为继，进而销声匿 迹。"麦肯锡全球董事合伙人管鸣宇在接受《中国经营报》记者采访时 ...
