"多年来，我们长城的技术思维、工程师思维非常严重。长城是销售汽车的公司，我们只会卖车，卖给别人，不会搞营销。即使今天我们的魏牌蓝山，依然 卖的还是产品，卖的是产品力，并没有营销力，也没有品牌力。" 12月22日,长城汽车创始人、董事长魏建军说。 当日，在保定举行的魏牌全新蓝山智能进阶版上市发布会上，魏建军用了半个小时的时间，复盘了魏牌过去九年的发展历程，并透露了魏牌未来的发展思 路。 魏建军上台后，先回忆了自己与里斯战略咨询创始人艾·里斯当年是如何讨论打造魏牌的，包括为什么用自己的姓氏命名新品牌，以及魏牌标识为什么要融 入"保定"元素。 魏牌的起步相当成功。2017年4月，魏牌首款车型VV7上市，当年销量便达到8.6万辆，2018年，魏牌销量进一步增至13.95万辆。但2021年后，魏牌在第二代 咖啡系列车型上市后，销量出现显著下滑。 此前一直有观点认为，魏牌第二代车型销量不理想，主要是因为营销"翻车"。魏建军此次回应称，第二代车型为呼应新能源时代的到来改了名，改名虽然不 算成功，但也不能说失败了。第二代车型的问题在于，受到了行业恶性内卷的大环境拖累。"从2021年底到2022年，（行业出现了）更加严重的价格 ...

12月10日，岚图追光L正式上市，以27.99万元至30.99万元的售价，再次向30万级豪华轿车市场发起冲锋。 "一个汽车品牌到底是强还是弱，轿车的销量是一个很强的评判标准。"卢放认为。即便一些中国品牌整体销量已位居前列，但若在代表品牌高度的轿车市 场，特别是豪华轿车市场缺乏建树，其全球品牌形象依然难以真正树立。这成了长期压在中国汽车人心头的一座大山，岚图汽车销售公司总经理邵明峰将其 称之为"人心中的成见"。 在新能源汽车领域，中国品牌在技术、供应链和成本控制上已建立起显著优势，但品牌力仍是最大的短板。卢放承认，作为新品牌，"初期会比较难"， 但"万事开头难，再难也要做！因为你不做永远没有机会"。 面对挑战，岚图汽车提出了清晰的策略。首先，坚持"技术引领"。卢放提出，在品牌知名度不及对手时，必须用前沿技术打造产品差异化，并"让用户清晰 感知到"，以此作为撬动市场的支点。岚图追光L搭载的800V高压平台、智能四驱系统等核心技术，正是这一思路的体现。 其次，全方位提升品牌与用户体验。这包括提升产品口碑、品牌口碑和用户触点体验，通过扎实的产品力和服务，逐步积累信任。邵明峰透露，目前岚图已 有40%的用户来自BBA的 ...
