下沉市场，没有爽文剧本。曾经霸榜街头的微型车，正悄然退场。 这个国庆，我回到潮汕的十八线乡镇。一个明显的变化是：往年随处可见的五菱宏光MINIEV、奇瑞QQ冰淇淋等微型电动车，如今却难觅踪影。 一位在老家做汽车销售的朋友告诉我，今年国庆期间，县城新能源车销量同比激增近七成，而微型车的占比从去年同期的45%骤降至12%。 取而代之的，是小米SU7、小鹏新P7等设计鲜明的国产新势力，甚至偶尔还能看到仰望U8、问界M9这类售价超过40万的高端车型从容驶过。 图源：电车通摄制 这种强烈反差令人不禁追问：曾经被称为"乡镇神器"的微型车，为什么突然不香了？又是什么，让高端新能源车在十八线小城开始流行起来？ 曾经的"城镇神器"：微型车为何走下神坛？ 在过去很长一段时间里，微型车堪称低线城市的 "出行神器"，备受青睐。价格因素是其火爆的关键。那段时间，在我老家基本是呈现一种"车到山前必有 路，有路必有微型车"的状态。 就拿五菱宏光 MINIEV 来说，最初2.88万元的起售价，让许多低线城市收入不高的家庭也能轻松拥有一辆车，实现从无到有的出行跨越 ，极大地降低了购 车门槛，让汽车不再是遥不可及的奢侈品。 图源：五菱宏光 这其 ...
