Recently, joint ventures have made significant strides in the SUV market, with offerings like the Envision S and Tiguan showcasing notable price reductions.

The Envision S is now available at a price range of ¥150,000 to ¥162,000, presenting an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.

With well-rounded features and competitive pricing, it is positioned favorably against domestic models like Haval and Geely.

The Tiguan is starting at ¥130,000, making it another appealing option as dealers look to clear their inventory.

With pricing that challenges local competitors, the Tiguan provides features expected in premium SUVs.

Overall, both the Envision S and Tiguan are not just competitive but may also prove to be more cost-effective choices compared to their domestic counterparts, raising questions about the future positioning of local brands in the SUV market.
