If your friends in the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are planning to change cars, there is a high probability that they will get stuck in the same dilemma. In recent years, the domestic compact joint venture SUV market has precipitated more than 10 million fuel vehicle ownership. Only the CR-V and RAV4 models have accumulated millions of household users. When the electrification wave hit in full swing, the most willing car owners were in a dilemma for a long time. If you choose the independent new forces, it means that the driving logic and cockpit experience are all reversed, and the car habits of more than ten years are all overturned. If you choose the same brand of trams, and most of them are oil to electricity points to meet the product, the battery life and intelligence are not online. With the official launch of the Dongfeng Nissan NX8 Extension 260Pro, domestic compact joint venture SUV owners finally have a choice. When the tens of millions of joint venture owners "no car can be replaced", I believe that China's new energy market has already entered the stock game stage from the incremental race. At present, the biggest structural pain point is the electrification needs of tens of millions of joint venture fuel owners, which has never been effectively undertaken. The entire replacement market has been polarized for a long time, with almost no middle ground. On the one hand, the new forces are leading a “radical transformation.” In order to highlight the difference, independent new energy models generally use partial motion chassis adjustment, strong intervention single pedal kinetic energy recovery, coupled with fully reconstructed cockpit interaction logic, for older drivers who have driven Japanese family SUVs for five or six years or even more, it is equivalent to learning to drive again. There are many CR-V car owners around the author. After changing the new power tram, the general feedback is that the brake foot is not used to, the car is easy to get dizzy, and the car and machine functions are too complicated for the elderly and children to use. This driving experience is too fragmented and has become a psychological barrier for many conservative users to change trams. Many middle-aged family users have old and young, and the family's travel is just needed. Once the vehicle is controlled and the filter vibration does not fit the original habits, the elderly and children will be directly persuaded to replace the idea of car sickness. This is also an important reason why many families prefer to continue to drive old fuel vehicles, rather than blindly switch to new energy. At the other end is the common “pay-as-you-go transformation” of joint venture brands. In the past few years, most of the new energy products of the joint venture brands are essentially oil-to-electricity transition products. The chassis of the gasoline car is hard plugged with a battery and turned into a tram, resulting in a shrinking space. The endurance is also concentrated in the chicken rib range of 300-400km. The intelligent cockpit and driving assistance are still at the level of five years ago. The purpose of launching such products by the joint venture is not to serve user substitution, but to respond to the double credit policy. According to the data of the Vehicle Association, the proportion of new energy vehicle replacements in China has exceeded 42% in 2025, but the share of joint venture brands in the new energy replacement market is less than 18%. It is not that the loyalty of joint venture users has declined, but that within the same brand system, there is simply no product that can make old users willing to replace. Specific to the 10 million core stock groups of CR-V and RAV4, their needs are actually very clear. This group of users recognized the reliability standards of the joint venture brand, accustomed to smooth and relaxing home calibration, and used the car scene to focus on family commuting and long-distance self-driving. The electrification upgrade they want is to reduce the cost of using the car and improve the smart experience on the basis of retaining the habit of driving. Unfortunately, in the past, no product in the industry could meet the three demands of "driving the same source, scene undertaking, and brand identity" at the same time. The landing of the NX8 Extended Range Edition is a great satisfaction to these demands. It does not have a shortcut to switch from oil to electricity, but from the true habits of ten million joint venture fuel owners, it has created a "seamless and advanced" replacement scheme. Reducing the "replacement adaptation period" to zero Many people talk about extending the ride, and the first reaction is more important than battery life and battery size, but the author believes that for joint venture fuel replacement users, it is obviously more important to drive smoothly. The core competitiveness of the NX8 Extended Range 260Pro is to achieve the same origin inheritance of the joint venture driving system, so that the owners of CR-V and RAV4 old cars can sit in without any adaptation, and getting started is a familiar feeling. This homology is first reflected in the underlying logic of chassis tuning. The NX8 extended range follows Nissan's home SUV adjustment system that has been deeply cultivated for many years. The combination of the front McPherson + rear five link independent suspension, coupled with the DP-EPS electric power steering system, the fineness of the steering damping, the filtering texture of the over-reduction belt, and the curved body roll control are highly in line with the soothing and steady driving intuition of Japanese home SUVs. It does not adjust the suspension to be rigid in order to advertise movement, nor does it adjust the kinetic energy recovery abruptly in order to pursue energy consumption. Brake energy recovery provides weak/strong/adaptive third gear adjustment, and the default mode feels almost the same as the fuel vehicle. Compared with the feeling of dragging strongly when the throttle is loosened in many autonomous extension models, the driving logic of the NX8 extension completely takes over the muscle memory of the old user, and truly realizes "no need to relearn to drive". The vehicle space and usage scenarios are also seamlessly matched. The NX8 has an extended range of 4870mm and a wheelbase of 2917mm, which is half a step larger than the traditional compact SUV, but the minimum turning radius of 5.7 meters is very restrained. The narrow parking spaces and basement turning passages in the old residential area can pass, and users do not need to change their parking habits because of car changes. The storage logic of the cockpit also completely continues the practical idea of home SUVs. Open the central armrest box on both sides, the ultra-large capacity door panel storage grid, and the front cup holder with damping. The position and size are in line with the habits of old users, so you do not have to re-find where to put the items. The 748L trunk volume plus the second floor storage space, the stroller, boarding box, and camping equipment are loaded in the same way as the past fuel SUVs, and the loading scenario for family travel does not need to be re-adapted at all. More importantly, the long range extension architecture accurately solves the transformation contradiction of joint venture users "wanting to reduce energy consumption and fearing mileage anxiety". The NX8 Extended Range 260Pro is equipped with a 37.4kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. The CLTC has a pure battery life of 260km. It is fully charged once a week for daily commuting and transferring children. With a 1.5T four-cylinder hybrid special engine, the CLTC has a comprehensive endurance of up to 1400km. The loss of electricity and fuel consumption is only 4.51 L/100km. You can drive for a long time without planning charging piles, and there is no anxiety about the endurance of pure trams. The author believes that this is the most suitable electrification upgrade for traditional family car users. The driving habits do not need to be changed, the travel rhythm does not need to be changed, and the life scene does not need to be reconstructed. Just quietly reduce the energy consumption cost and add the intelligent experience, which just hit the biggest psychological threshold for the electrification transformation of joint venture users. Most of the extended-range models on the market only solve the problem of battery life, but ignore the inertia that users have cultivated for many years, and it is difficult to impress conservative home consumers. The impact of the NX8 Extension on the three industries left by the joint venture brand has never been more than sales. The listing of the NX8 Extension 260Pro is more like a sample for the entire joint venture camp. The author believes that it has profoundly changed the electrification landscape of the Chinese automobile market from at least three dimensions, and its replicable experience is worthy of reference for all brands with stock bases. First, the NX8 Extended Range 260Pro breaks the industry stereotype that joint venture electrification will only convert oil into electricity. In the past, the market's common understanding of joint venture new energy was that the technology was conservative and the products were perfunctory. The NX8 extended range proved that as long as the joint venture brands carefully met the needs of the Chinese market, they could come up with competitive electrification products. The author has mentioned many times in public before. Joint venture brands should not fight for parameters, but for the understanding of the texture of home rides. This is the moat that joint venture brands have accumulated for decades. It is not necessary to accelerate with the new forces and compare the number of screens, and do a good job of the smoothness, reliability, and home practicality that you are best at, coupled with the energy consumption advantages and intelligent configuration of new energy, it is the most lethal product. Second, it provides a replicable stock replacement path, which is to make incremental upgrades according to user habits. In the past, the industry always talked about "subverting fuel vehicles", but for tens of millions of fuel owners, what they want is not subversion, but "better". The NX8 Extended Range does not force users to change their driving habits, does not overturn the original car scenario, but adds to the user's familiar system. The chassis is still the familiar home texture. The space is larger than the original, the energy consumption is lower than the original, and the intelligence is better than the original. This logic of "driving the same source + scene acceptance + experience upgrade" is fully applicable to all brands with large fuel base such as Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen and so on. The author judges that more and more joint venture brands will abandon the route of blindly targeting new forces, go back to cultivating their own stock users, and do a good job of steady connection of oil levels. Third, we reconstructed the competitive dimension of the 150,000-200,000-stage expansion market. Previously, this price range extension market was basically the home market of independent brands. The focus of competition was on the length of life, the number of screens, and the price, which was caught in the parameter inner volume. After the NX8 extension entered the game, it pulled the "driving adaptability" and "displacement friendliness" to the competitive level. In the future, users will not only focus on battery capacity and zero hundred acceleration, but also consider whether they can take over my past car life. The richness of this competitive dimension ultimately benefits consumers, especially conservative home users who don't want to change their car habits. From a more macro perspective, the popularity of new energy vehicles in China will eventually have to gnaw down the hard bone of the joint venture fuel stock. It is not enough to attract young users by new forces alone. The smooth transformation of thousands of traditional home users is the key to the full implementation of electrification. The domestic fuel vehicle replacement market is huge every year, and the joint venture stock users are the stable consumption base. If they continue to lose, the market share of the joint venture brand will continue to shrink, and the long-term development pressure is huge. The NX8 expansion has taken the first step of seriously replacing the joint venture brand. When the whole industry is shouting for subversion, doing a good job of undertaking and advancing may be the more solid path towards the popularization of electrification.
