Guangqi Honda officially released a poster announcing that the refreshed version of the new Fit has been sold out. The car has been on the market since January 15 with a new price of 66,800 yuan. Compared with the previous generation, it has dropped by 20,000 yuan. It is limited to 3,000 units nationwide and was sold out in just 20 days. There will be no further production arrangements.
However, in the eyes of many netizens, the limited edition of 3,000 units of the new Fit is more like a marketing gimmick. If the entire Fit series is discontinued, what will happen to the after-sales service if it is discontinued as soon as you buy it?
In this regard, Blue Whale Automobile interviewed Guangqi Honda officials and people familiar with the matter. According to the introduction, the people familiar with the matter said that the limited edition of 3,000 and the sold-out are both true, and they are not marketing gimmicks. The main reason is that there were only so many models in the original planning.
According to GAC Honda’s official response,The original intention of the new Fit being limited to 3,000 units is to give back to Fit fans for their long-term support and love, and to bring users an exclusive and unique value experience.
Regarding the question of whether the discontinuation of production of the new Fit means that the entire Fit series will be discontinued, Guangqi Honda officials responded that Fit, as a classic model of Guangqi Honda, is always oriented to user needs. In the future, it will be planned based on the actual car needs of consumers and market development trends. Please stay tuned for the later planning of the new car.
In addition, even if the Fit is discontinued, users do not have to worry about after-sales issues. Guangqi Honda officials said,According to the relevant provisions of the "Automobile Sales Management Measures", relevant after-sales parts will be supplied for at least 10 years after the production of a model is discontinued.
"Therefore, after the production of the new Fit is discontinued, spare parts will be available until 2036. Guangqi Honda's after-sales guarantee system is complete, so users can buy with confidence."
